Product details
Overview
TL4050B10QDCKR from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference delivering a stable 10V output with ±0.2% initial tolerance and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to 125°C. It operates from 60μA to 15mA cathode current, exhibits 150μVRMS wideband noise, and maintains stability with any capacitive load-enabling use in high-accuracy data acquisition and automotive power-supply monitors.
For engineers reviewing the TL4050B10QDCKR datasheet, TL4050B10QDCKR pinout, TL4050B10QDCKR application, or TL4050B10QDCKR equivalent, key selection criteria include extended-temperature operation, low-noise performance, shunt topology compatibility with high-impedance sources, and SC-70 package suitability for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TL4050B10QDCKR functions as a two-terminal shunt reference, requiring only an external series resistor to regulate voltage across variable loads. Its internal bandgap circuitry achieves tight initial accuracy and low thermal drift without external compensation components.
Designed for direct integration into ADC/DAC reference paths and supply-monitoring circuits, it delivers 10V output with 0.7Ω dynamic impedance at 1mA and supports full-range operation up to 125°C ambient-meeting requirements for industrial and automotive embedded systems where long-term stability and thermal hysteresis (2.8mV) are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 10V nominal; enables precise 10-bit+ ADC full-scale calibration and 1mV LSB resolution in 10V-range systems |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% max at 25°C; ensures ≤20mV absolute error before temperature or aging effects |
| Temp Coefficient | ±50ppm/°C max over –40°C to 125°C; contributes ≤0.5V drift across full range |
| Noise (10Hz–10kHz) | 150μVRMS typical; limits RMS error to <0.015% of 10V output in sensitive analog front-ends |
| Cathode Current Range | 100μA to 15mA; supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-current reference buffering |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.7Ω at 1mA; minimizes load-induced voltage sag during transient current demands |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 2.8mV over –40°C ↔ 125°C cycle; defines repeatability error after thermal stress |
Pinout & Package
TL4050B10QDCKR is housed in a 3-pin SC-70 (DCK) package with 0.65mm pitch, optimized for compact PCB layouts and automated assembly. Pin 1 is Cathode, Pin 2 is Anode, and Pin 3 is NC (no connection), per TI's SOT-23/SC-70 pinout standard for shunt references.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Reference output node | Connects to regulated voltage rail; sinks all current (IZ + IL); requires series resistor from supply |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Ground reference terminal | Must be tied to system ground or low-impedance return path; forms reference potential baseline |
| NC (Pin 3) | No internal connection | Must remain unconnected; floating or tied to Anode per TI recommendation to avoid parasitic Schottky conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with all capacitive loads | Eliminates need for output bypass capacitor-reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity in battery-powered designs |
| Extended temperature range | –40°C to 125°C operation enables deployment in under-hood automotive modules and industrial PLCs |
| Low micropower operation | 60μA typical minimum cathode current allows use with high-value series resistors in energy-harvesting applications |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 2.8mV max ensures repeatable 10V output after thermal cycling-critical for calibration-critical instrumentation |
| High ESD robustness | ±2000V HBM rating protects against handling damage during manual assembly and field service |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3010AIDBZR | 10V, ±0.2%, 50ppm/°C, SOT-23-3, but 50μA min current and 42μVRMS noise | Lower noise suits ultra-high-resolution metrology; not qualified to 125°C | Select when noise <50μVRMS is mandatory and ambient stays ≤85°C |
| LM4040B10IDCKR | 10V, ±0.2%, 100ppm/°C, SC-70, 60μA min current, 120μVRMS noise | Higher tempco increases drift by ~0.3V over –40°C to 125°C vs. TL4050B10QDCKR | Select when cost is primary constraint and 100ppm/°C drift is acceptable |
Compared with REF3010AIDBZR and LM4040B10IDCKR, TL4050B10QDCKR uniquely combines 125°C qualification, 150μVRMS noise, and SC-70 packaging-making it optimal for automotive and industrial applications demanding both thermal ruggedness and moderate noise performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode current rating for TL4050B10QDCKR?
The absolute maximum cathode current for TL4050B10QDCKR is 20mA, though the recommended operating range is 100μA to 15mA per datasheet Section 5.1 and 5.11. Exceeding 15mA risks exceeding thermal limits in the SC-70 package, especially above 85°C ambient.
Does TL4050B10QDCKR require an output capacitor for stability?
No, TL4050B10QDCKR does not require an output capacitor for stability. As confirmed in Section 8.1 of the datasheet, it is designed to remain stable with all capacitive loads-including zero capacitance-eliminating the need for external bypass components in most designs.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for TL4050B10QDCKR?
The thermal hysteresis for TL4050B10QDCKR is 2.8mV, defined as the difference between the 25°C output voltage measured after cycling to –40°C versus after cycling to 125°C. This value is specified in Section 5.11 and impacts repeatability in systems undergoing repeated thermal excursions.
Can TL4050B10QDCKR be used in a 12-bit data-acquisition system?
Yes, TL4050B10QDCKR is suitable for 12-bit data-acquisition systems. With ±0.2% initial tolerance (±20mV) and ±50ppm/°C drift, its total error remains within ±0.5% over –40°C to 125°C-well within the ±0.025% LSB requirement for 12-bit accuracy at 10V full scale.
What is the top-side marking for TL4050B10QDCKR?
The top-side marking for TL4050B10QDCKR is '95_', as documented in Table 9-1 of the datasheet under the –40°C to 125°C, B-grade, 10V, SC-70 ordering information. The final character varies by fabrication site but is not part of the standardized orderable identifier.
