Product details
Overview
LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-precision, low-noise, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 4.096 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (A grade), and 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) output noise. It operates from 1.8 V input, supports up to 8 mA load, and features an enable pin for power management - ideal for precision DACs and portable instrumentation requiring stable, low-drift references.
For engineers reviewing the LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB datasheet, LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB pinout, LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB application, or LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include dropout voltage at 1 mA (20 mV typ), supply current in active mode (265 µA typ), shutdown current (0.01 µA typ), thermal hysteresis (20 ppm), and required 1-µF output capacitor for stability.
Technical Context
The LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS DACs for curvature-corrected temperature compensation and output voltage trimming - enabling sub-bandgap 4.096 V output with 3 ppm/°C drift over 0°C to 70°C. Its P-channel pass transistor architecture supports low dropout (VIN ≥ VREF + 20 mV) and reverse-current protection via inherent body diode.
It implements fast ON/OFF control: VREF settles in <200 µs on enable, and internal discharge circuitry actively sinks the output capacitor during shutdown. The enable pin accepts logic-level inputs referenced to VIN, with defined thresholds (VH = 0.8×VIN, VL = 0.4 V) and nanoamp-level leakage (IH/IL ≤ 2 nA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096 V ±0.1% - enables precise 12-bit full-scale DAC reference without external scaling |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.1% - eliminates need for post-assembly calibration in most industrial data acquisition systems |
| Temp. Coefficient | 3 ppm/°C (A grade) - contributes ≤123 ppm error over 0°C–70°C ambient range |
| Dropout Voltage | 20 mV (typ @ 1 mA) - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or 3.3 V rail with margin |
| Output Noise | 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - supports 16-bit+ resolution in low-frequency measurement front-ends |
| Supply Current | 265 µA (typ @ 25°C), ≤1 µA in shutdown - extends battery life in portable multimeters and sensor nodes |
| Load Drive | 8 mA sourcing capability - directly drives SAR ADC reference inputs and op-amp buffers without gain stage |
| Enable Logic | Active-high enable with 0.8×VIN high threshold - compatible with standard 3.3 V/5 V GPIO without level shifters |
Pinout & Package
LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm), optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal performance (RθJA = 119.3°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 7, 8 | Ground (GND) | Four dedicated ground pins minimize ground impedance and improve PSRR; all must be connected to system ground plane |
| 2 | VIN | Positive supply input - requires ≥4.116 V for stable 4.096 V output at 1 mA load |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control - tie to VIN for always-on operation; floating pin causes undefined behavior |
| 5 | NC | No-connect terminal - must remain unconnected per datasheet; routing to copper violates layout guidelines |
| 6 | VREF | Precision output - requires 1-µF ceramic/tantalum capacitor to GND for loop stability and transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM + DAC trimming | Enables 3 ppm/°C tempco and ±0.1% accuracy without laser trimming - improves production yield and long-term stability |
| Active output discharge | Internally sinks output capacitor during shutdown - prevents voltage hold-up and ensures clean power-down sequencing |
| Sub-bandgap output | 4.096 V option below typical 1.25 V bandgap - simplifies design of 12-bit DAC interfaces without resistor dividers |
| Low 1/f noise | 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - critical for DC-coupled strain gauge, thermocouple, and precision weight scale front-ends |
| Reverse current protection | Body diode between VIN and VREF limits reverse current to <50 mA - prevents damage when output is precharged |
Applications
| Portable Instrumentation | Precision Data Acquisition |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary voltage reference for 24-bit sigma-delta ADC and internal DAC calibration.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5040IDR | 4.096 V, 0.05% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C, 12 µVPP noise, SOIC-8, 0.95 mA supply current | Higher accuracy but 5.5× higher noise and 3.6× higher supply current - less suitable for battery-powered or low-noise apps | Choose REF5040IDR only when absolute initial accuracy dominates over noise and power constraints |
| ADR444BRZ | 4.096 V, 0.04% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C, 1.8 µVPP noise, SOIC-8, 750 µA supply current | Lower noise than LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB but 2.8× higher supply current and no enable pin - lacks power-gating capability | Choose ADR444BRZ when lowest possible noise is critical and continuous operation is acceptable |
Compared with REF5040IDR and ADR444BRZ, the LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB uniquely balances ultra-low noise (2.2 µVPP), micropower shutdown (0.01 µA), and integrated enable functionality - making it optimal for portable, intermittently active precision systems where power and noise are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB?
The LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB requires VIN ≥ VREF + 20 mV (typical) at 1 mA load, so minimum input is 4.116 V. Over temperature (0°C–70°C), dropout increases to 45 mV max, requiring VIN ≥ 4.141 V for guaranteed regulation. Operation below 1.8 V is not supported - this part is not rated for sub-1.8 V supplies.
Does the LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB require an output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes - the LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB requires a 1-µF output capacitor for loop stability and transient response. Solid tantalum (e.g., Kemet T491A105M010AS) or multilayer ceramic capacitors meeting ESR specifications (1–10 Ω) are recommended. Aluminum electrolytics are discouraged due to ESR drift at low temperatures.
How does the enable function work on the LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB, and what happens to the output during shutdown?
The LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB enable pin is active-high: driving it to ≥0.8×VIN enables normal operation; pulling it ≤0.4 V disables the output. During shutdown, VREF drops to 0 V within microseconds, and internal circuitry actively discharges the output capacitor to ground - preventing residual voltage hold-up.
Can the LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB drive a 10 kΩ load directly, and what is its maximum load current?
Yes - the LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB can drive a 10 kΩ load (409.6 µA at 4.096 V) with negligible error. Its specified output drive capability is up to 8 mA (500 Ω load), and load regulation is 5 ppm/mA (typ) for the 4.096 V version - meaning <41 ppm error at full 8 mA load.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for the LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB, and how does it affect long-term accuracy?
The LM4140CCM-4.1/NOPB exhibits ≤20 ppm thermal hysteresis - defined as the change in 25°C output voltage after cycling between 0°C and 70°C. This is a non-cumulative, repeatable offset; it does not accumulate over cycles and is fully characterized per device. For metrology-grade designs, this value must be included in total error budget alongside initial accuracy and tempco.
