Product details
Overview
LM4140CCMX-1.0 from Texas Instruments is a high-precision, low-noise, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 1.024 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10 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 LM4140CCMX-1.0 datasheet, LM4140CCMX-1.0 pinout, LM4140CCMX-1.0 application, or LM4140CCMX-1.0 equivalent, key selection considerations include its sub-bandgap 1.024 V output, ultra-low noise performance, dropout voltage of 20 mV at 1 mA, SOIC-8 package compatibility, and enable-controlled power cycling for battery-sensitive systems.
Technical Context
The LM4140CCMX-1.0 uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS DACs for curvature-corrected temperature compensation and output voltage trimming - enabling higher resolution than conventional bandgap references. Its P-channel pass transistor architecture supports operation with VIN as low as VREF + 400 mV across 0°C to 70°C.
It implements active output capacitor discharge during shutdown, restoring VREF in <200 µs on enable. The device requires a mandatory 1 µF output capacitor for loop stability and transient response, with ESR constraints validated for tantalum, ceramic, and aluminum electrolytic types.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.024 V ±0.1% (initial accuracy at 25°C); enables precise 10-bit full-scale scaling in ADCs/DACs |
| Tempco (C Grade) | 10 ppm/°C over 0°C to 70°C; ensures ≤0.7 mV drift across industrial ambient range |
| Dropout Voltage | 20 mV (typical) at 1 mA load; allows operation from 1.8 V supply with margin for battery sag |
| Output Noise | 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz); critical for high-resolution data acquisition below 16-bit ENOB loss |
| Supply Current | 230 µA (typical, active); ≤1 µA in shutdown - extends coin-cell life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Enable Logic | Active-high enable; VIH ≥0.8×VIN, VIL ≤0.4 V; compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level shift |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA sink/source capability; sufficient to directly bias SAR ADC references and op-amp inputs |
Pinout & Package
LM4140CCMX-1.0 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size) with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS053F Rev F datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 7, 8 | Ground (GND) | Four dedicated ground connections reduce ground bounce and improve PSRR; all must be tied to system ground plane |
| 2 | VIN | Positive supply input; accepts 1.8 V to 5.5 V; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor for noise suppression |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control; pulling low disables output and reduces supply current to ≤1 µA |
| 5 | NC | No-connect pin; must remain unconnected and unstubbed to avoid parasitic coupling |
| 6 | VREF | Precision 1.024 V output; requires 1 µF ceramic/tantalum capacitor to GND for stability and transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM + DAC trimming | Enables 0.1% initial accuracy and 10 ppm/°C tempco without laser trimming - improves yield and long-term stability |
| Sub-bandgap output | 1.024 V option enables direct matching to 10-bit full-scale codes (210 = 1024), eliminating scaling resistors in microcontroller ADC designs |
| Active discharge on disable | Internally discharges output capacitor to ground during shutdown - prevents holdover voltage and ensures clean restart |
| Low 20-mV dropout | Permits use with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or two-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2 V) supplies while maintaining regulation |
| 1 µF stability guarantee | Specified stable with 1 µF output capacitor - simplifies layout vs. references requiring >10 µF or tight ESR windows |
Applications
| Portable Data Loggers | Precision Weigh Scales |

Use Value: 0.1% initial accuracy and thermal hysteresis <20 ppm eliminate need for factory zero-span recalibration after thermal cycling. |
| Medical Patient Monitors | Automotive Battery Management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3012AIDBZR | 1.2 V output, 50 ppm/°C max, no enable pin, 50 µA supply current | Lacks shutdown mode and sub-1.2 V options; lower accuracy limits 16-bit+ systems | Choose when enable function is unnecessary and 1.2 V matches system scaling needs |
| ADR3410ARJZ-R7 | 1.0 V output, 10 ppm/°C, enable pin, 120 µA supply current, 125 mV dropout | Higher dropout limits use with low-VIN rails; 1.0 V vs. 1.024 V requires gain adjustment in ADC interface | Prefer when lower quiescent current is critical and 1.0 V reference suffices for resolution goals |
Compared with LM4140CCMX-1.0, REF3012AIDBZR trades enable functionality and tighter initial accuracy for lower cost and smaller SOT-23 package, while ADR3410ARJZ-R7 offers comparable tempco and enable but sacrifices dropout performance and exact 1.024 V scaling - making LM4140CCMX-1.0 optimal for battery-powered, high-resolution, sub-bandgap reference applications.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance and temperature coefficient of the LM4140CCMX-1.0?
The LM4140CCMX-1.0 provides a nominal 1.024 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy at 25°C and a temperature coefficient of 10 ppm/°C over 0°C to 70°C (C grade). This ensures total output variation remains within ±0.07% across its rated temperature range, supporting 16-bit system accuracy without calibration.
Does the LM4140CCMX-1.0 require an external output capacitor, and if so, what value and type?
Yes - the LM4140CCMX-1.0 requires a minimum 1 µF output capacitor connected between VREF and GND for loop stability and transient response. TI validates stability with surface-mount tantalum (e.g., Kemet T491A105M010AS) and ceramic capacitors meeting ESR specifications in Figures 22–24 of the datasheet.
How does the enable pin function on the LM4140CCMX-1.0, and what happens to the output during shutdown?
The LM4140CCMX-1.0 enable pin is active-high: driving it ≥0.8×VIN enables normal operation; pulling it ≤0.4 V disables the output and reduces supply current to ≤1 µA. During shutdown, internal circuitry actively discharges the output capacitor to ground, preventing voltage holdover and enabling fast, clean reactivation (<200 µs).
Can the LM4140CCMX-1.0 operate from a 1.8 V supply, and what is its minimum dropout voltage?
Yes - the LM4140CCMX-1.0 operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply. Its typical dropout voltage is 20 mV at 1 mA load (25°C), rising to 45 mV over 0°C to 70°C. This allows reliable regulation even with significant supply droop, such as in single-cell Li-ion or two-cell alkaline systems.
What is the output noise specification of the LM4140CCMX-1.0, and how does it scale with output voltage?
The LM4140CCMX-1.0 delivers 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) output noise for the 1.024 V option. Per datasheet Note 7, output noise scales linearly with VREF - so a 2.5 V variant would exhibit ~5.4 µVPP. This ultra-low noise preserves dynamic range in high-resolution data acquisition systems.
