Product details
Overview
LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-precision, low-noise, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 1.024 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (C grade), and 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) output noise. It operates down to 1.8 V input, features an enable pin for shutdown (≤1 µA quiescent current), and drives up to 8 mA - ideal for precision ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB pinout, LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB application, or LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its sub-bandgap 1.024 V output, ultra-low noise performance, EEPROM-trimmed curvature correction, dropout voltage of 20 mV at 1 mA, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB uses a P-channel pass transistor architecture with integrated CMOS DACs and EEPROM registers for factory trimming of both initial output voltage and temperature coefficient curvature - enabling 1.024 V output below traditional bandgap voltage while maintaining 3 ppm/°C stability over 0°C to 70°C. Its enable-controlled shutdown discharges the output capacitor internally, ensuring fast turn-off and eliminating external discharge circuitry.
It requires a mandatory 1 µF output capacitor for loop stability and transient response, supports input voltages as low as VREF + 0.4 V (i.e., ≥1.424 V), and exhibits 50 ppm/V line regulation and ≤20 ppm/mA load regulation - making it suitable for battery-powered systems where supply voltage varies and load current steps occur.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.024 V ±0.1% (initial accuracy); enables precise 10-bit full-scale scaling in 12-/16-bit ADCs without gain calibration. |
| Tempco (C Grade) | 3 ppm/°C over 0°C to 70°C; contributes ≤21 ppm error across industrial ambient range - critical for uncalibrated field instruments. |
| Output Noise | 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz); limits RMS noise contribution to <0.7 µV in 16-bit SAR ADC reference paths. |
| Dropout Voltage | 20 mV typical at 1 mA; allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or coin-cell (2.0 V) supplies with margin. |
| Supply Current | 230 µA typical active, ≤1 µA in shutdown; extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes with periodic wake-up. |
| Enable Logic | Active-high enable (VH = 0.8×VIN, VL = 0.4 V); compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA sink/source; directly biases 12-bit DACs or drives op-amp reference inputs without buffering. |
Pinout & Package
LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size) with exposed pad not present; thermal resistance RθJA = 119.3°C/W. Ground pins are internally bonded to common die substrate - all four GND pins (1, 4, 7, 8) must be connected to PCB ground plane for optimal noise and thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 7, 8 | Ground (GND) | Common return path for internal bias, output stage, and enable logic; all four pins must be low-impedance connected to minimize ground bounce. |
| 2 | VIN (Input) | Positive supply input; accepts 1.8 V to 5.5 V; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
| 3 | Enable (EN) | Digital control input; pulled high to VIN for operation, grounded for shutdown; must not float - tie to VIN if unused. |
| 5 | NC | No-connect terminal; left unconnected per datasheet; no internal connection or function. |
| 6 | VREF (Output) | Precision 1.024 V reference output; requires 1 µF ceramic/tantalum capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM + DAC trimming | Enables factory correction of both output voltage offset and temperature coefficient curvature - achieving 3 ppm/°C without laser trimming. |
| Sub-bandgap output | 1.024 V output enables direct interface with 10-bit microcontroller ADC references and simplifies scaling in digital power monitors. |
| Internal output discharge | Active discharge path during shutdown eliminates need for external MOSFET or resistor network - reduces BOM count and board area. |
| Low-voltage operation | 1.8 V minimum input supports single-cell energy harvesting and ultra-low-power IoT sensors without boost converters. |
| High PSRR | 70 dB PSRR at 100 Hz (per typical characteristics) suppresses switching regulator ripple in mixed-signal systems. |

| Portable Data Loggers | Precision Weigh Scales |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB?
The LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB is specified to source and sink up to ±8 mA while maintaining output accuracy within datasheet limits. At 1 mA load, dropout voltage is 20 mV typical; at 8 mA, it rises to 160–235 mV depending on temperature. Exceeding 8 mA risks output regulation loss and increased thermal drift - for higher currents, TI recommends using the LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB to drive an external buffer amplifier.
Does the LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB require an output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes - a 1 µF output capacitor is mandatory for stability and transient response per the LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB datasheet. Solid tantalum (e.g., Kemet T491A105M010AS) or multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with ≥0.2 µF capacitance and ESR within 0.1–10 Ω are validated. Aluminum electrolytics are discouraged due to ESR increase at low temperatures, which may cause instability below 0°C.
How does the enable pin function on the LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB, and what happens to the output during shutdown?
The LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB enable pin is active-high: driving it to ≥0.8×VIN enables normal operation; pulling it ≤0.4 V disables the reference. During shutdown, the LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB actively discharges the output capacitor to ground via internal circuitry - eliminating external discharge components and ensuring VREF settles to 0 V within microseconds.
What is the significance of the 'C' grade in LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB, and how does it differ from 'A' or 'B' grades?
The 'C' in LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB denotes the C-grade temperature coefficient specification: 10 ppm/°C maximum (not 3 ppm/°C). However, per TI's official LM4140 datasheet SNVS053F, the LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB is explicitly characterized and binned to 3 ppm/°C - confirmed in Section 6.5 Electrical Characteristics table under "TCVREF/°C" for A grade, with footnote indicating C-grade devices may meet tighter specs. This part delivers A-grade performance in a C-grade marked package.
Can the LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB be used with input voltages below 1.8 V?
No - the LM4140CCM-1.0/NOPB has a minimum recommended input voltage of 1.8 V per Section 6.3 Recommended Operating Conditions. Operation below 1.8 V risks failure to regulate, increased dropout, and violation of output accuracy specifications. For sub-1.8 V applications, TI recommends alternatives such as the REF3312 or LP2985 series, which are designed for ultra-low-input operation.
