Product details
Overview
TL4050B10QDCKT 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 monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the TL4050B10QDCKT datasheet, TL4050B10QDCKT pinout, TL4050B10QDCKT application, or TL4050B10QDCKT equivalent, key selection criteria include extended-temperature operation, low-noise performance, minimal bias current requirement, and SOT-23-3 (DCK) package compatibility for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TL4050B10QDCKT functions as a two-terminal shunt reference, regulating voltage by sinking adjustable cathode current while maintaining fixed reverse breakdown at 10V. Its internal bandgap core achieves tight initial accuracy and low thermal drift via curvature-compensated design, with dynamic impedance of 0.7Ω at 1mA enabling fast transient response in feedback loops.
It requires no external capacitor for stability and supports full-range operation across –40°C to 125°C ambient, validated per TI's extended-temperature qualification. The device's low 100μA typical minimum cathode current and 150μVRMS noise make it suitable for battery-powered instrumentation where power efficiency and signal integrity are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 10V nominal; enables direct interface with 10-bit+ ADCs requiring precise full-scale reference without scaling resistors. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% max at 25°C; ensures ≤20mV absolute error in calibration-critical systems like process transmitters. |
| Temp Coefficient | ±50ppm/°C max over –40°C to 125°C; contributes ≤6mV drift across full temperature range, supporting automotive under-hood designs. |
| Noise (10Hz–10kHz) | 150μVRMS; limits quantization uncertainty in 16-bit data acquisition when used with low-noise amplifiers. |
| Cathode Current Range | 100μA (typ) to 15mA; allows flexible biasing in both ultra-low-power sensor nodes and higher-current regulator applications. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.7Ω at 1mA; provides rapid correction of load-induced voltage perturbations in closed-loop power supply monitors. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120ppm after 1000h; ensures <0.0012% output drift over time, critical for unattended industrial measurement equipment. |
Pinout & Package
TL4050B10QDCKT is housed in a SC-70 (DCK) 3-pin surface-mount package measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.9mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground; serves as return path for cathode current and defines 0V reference potential. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Output voltage terminal | Delivers regulated 10V; sinks all current drawn from external bias resistor and load, requiring proper RS calculation per application conditions. |
| NC / Floating (Pin 3) | Unused terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to Pin 2 per TI recommendation to avoid parasitic Schottky conduction in SOT-23 variants (not applicable to DCK but retained for consistency). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with all capacitive loads | Eliminates need for output bypass capacitor-reducing BOM count and board area in portable medical sensors. |
| Extended temperature range | –40°C to 125°C operation validated for engine control units and industrial motor drives without derating. |
| Low micropower operation | 100μA typical minimum cathode current enables >10-year battery life in wireless condition-monitoring nodes. |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 2.8mV max after –40°C/125°C cycling ensures repeatable calibration in thermal-cycling test equipment. |
| High ESD robustness | ±2000V HBM rating protects against handling damage during manual assembly of automotive diagnostic tools. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3010AIDBZR | 10V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C, but only rated for –40°C to 125°C in A-grade; SC-70 package; 50μA min current. | Lower quiescent current suits ultra-low-power IoT nodes; lacks same long-term stability spec (100ppm/1000h vs. 120ppm). | Select REF3010AIDBZR when minimizing standby current is prioritized over proven field longevity. |
| ADR3410ARJZ-R7 | 10V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C, –40°C to 125°C, SOT-23; 120μA min current; 120μVRMS noise. | Higher accuracy and lower tempco benefit metrology-grade instruments; higher min current reduces battery life in portable gear. | Choose ADR3410ARJZ-R7 for lab-grade calibration equipment where 0.1% tolerance outweighs power budget constraints. |
Compared with REF3010AIDBZR and ADR3410ARJZ-R7, TL4050B10QDCKT offers balanced trade-offs: superior long-term stability for industrial deployments, wider operating current range for flexible biasing, and identical extended temperature rating-making it optimal for cost-sensitive automotive and energy metering applications demanding field reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode current rating for TL4050B10QDCKT?
The absolute maximum cathode current for TL4050B10QDCKT is 20mA, per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, the recommended operating range is 100μA to 15mA to ensure specified electrical performance-including output voltage accuracy, temperature coefficient, and noise-across the full –40°C to 125°C temperature range. Exceeding 15mA may degrade long-term stability or increase thermal stress.
Does TL4050B10QDCKT require an external output capacitor?
No, TL4050B10QDCKT does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its internal design ensures unconditional stability with any capacitive load, including direct connection to ADC reference inputs or op-amp feedback networks. Adding a capacitor is optional and only beneficial for additional high-frequency noise filtering-not for loop stability.
How does the thermal hysteresis of TL4050B10QDCKT affect calibration repeatability?
TL4050B10QDCKT exhibits a maximum thermal hysteresis of 2.8mV after cycling between –40°C and 125°C. This means that after extreme temperature exposure, the 10V output may shift by up to ±0.028% upon returning to 25°C. For applications requiring sub-0.01% calibration repeatability-such as metrology-grade test equipment-this hysteresis must be characterized and compensated during system-level calibration routines.
Can TL4050B10QDCKT be used in a series (three-terminal) configuration?
No, TL4050B10QDCKT is strictly a two-terminal shunt reference and cannot function as a series (three-terminal) regulator. It requires an external current-setting resistor between the supply and its cathode, with the anode tied to ground. Attempting to wire it as a series device will result in improper biasing, loss of regulation, and potential device damage due to violation of absolute maximum ratings.
What is the top-side marking for TL4050B10QDCKT?
The top-side marking for TL4050B10QDCKT is "95", as specified in TI's Ordering Information table. This marking appears on the SC-70 (DCK) package and is used for visual identification and traceability during PCB assembly and inspection. The full orderable part number remains TL4050B10QDCKT for procurement and documentation purposes.
