Product details
Overview
TL4050A10IDBZT from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference delivering a stable 10V output with ±0.1% initial tolerance and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to 85°C. It operates from 60μA to 15mA cathode current, exhibits 150μVRMS wideband noise, and maintains stability with any capacitive load-enabling use in high-resolution ADC biasing and portable power-supply monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the TL4050A10IDBZT datasheet, TL4050A10IDBZT pinout, TL4050A10IDBZT application, or TL4050A10IDBZT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10V fixed output, A-grade accuracy, SOT-23-3 package compatibility, low-noise performance, and industrial-temperature operation without external capacitance.
Technical Context
The TL4050A10IDBZT functions as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current to regulate voltage across its anode–cathode terminals. Its internal bandgap core achieves 10V reverse breakdown with 0.7Ω typical dynamic impedance at 1mA and thermal hysteresis of 2.8mV after –40°C/125°C cycling.
It requires no output capacitor and remains stable under all capacitive loads due to inherent pole-zero compensation. The device's 100μA minimum operating current (typical) and 15mA absolute maximum cathode current define its usable bias range in series-resistor-based shunt regulator topologies.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3010AIDBZR | 10V, ±0.2% initial tolerance, 100μA min current, SC-70 package | Higher min current increases power in ultra-low-IQ designs; SC-70 footprint differs from SOT-23-3 | Select when board space permits SC-70 and ±0.2% tolerance suffices for cost-sensitive production. |
| ADR3410ARJZ-R7 | 10V, ±0.1% tolerance, 120ppm/°C tempco, 1.2mA min current, SOT-23-5 | Higher min current and wider tempco reduce suitability for battery operation; 5-pin package requires layout change | Choose for improved PSRR in noisy industrial environments where 5-pin routing is acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of TL4050A10IDBZT at 25°C?
The TL4050A10IDBZT has a maximum initial output voltage tolerance of ±0.1% at 25°C, corresponding to ±10mV around its nominal 10V output. This A-grade specification is verified per TI's Electrical Characteristics table 5.10 and applies under 100μA cathode current test conditions.
Does TL4050A10IDBZT require an external output capacitor?
No, TL4050A10IDBZT does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its internal design ensures unconditional stability with all capacitive loads, including direct connection to ADC input capacitors or long PCB traces-eliminating the need for bypass components in space-constrained layouts.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for TL4050A10IDBZT to regulate properly?
The TL4050A10IDBZT requires a minimum cathode current of 60μA (typical) and 103μA (maximum over temperature) to maintain regulation within specifications. Below this threshold, output voltage may deviate beyond the ±0.1% tolerance band, especially at temperature extremes.
Can TL4050A10IDBZT operate across the full –40°C to 125°C range?
No, TL4050A10IDBZT is rated for operation from –40°C to 85°C only. For extended temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), the qualified variant is TL4050A10QDBZT-identifiable by the 'Q' suffix in the orderable part number and distinct electrical characteristics in section 5.11 of the datasheet.
How does the noise performance of TL4050A10IDBZT compare to lower-voltage variants?
TL4050A10IDBZT exhibits 150μVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz), higher than the 41μVRMS of the 2.5V TL4050A25IDBZT due to increased internal gain and thermal noise scaling with output voltage. This is confirmed in Tables 5.4 and 5.10, where noise rises proportionally with VKA across the TL4050 family.
