Product details
Overview
TL4050B25IDCKT from Texas Instruments is a precision 2.5V shunt voltage reference in SC-70-3 package, rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C), with ±0.2% initial tolerance, 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 41μVRMS typical noise, and stable operation from 60μA to 15mA cathode current - used in high-resolution ADC biasing and portable power-supply monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the TL4050B25IDCKT datasheet, TL4050B25IDCKT pinout, TL4050B25IDCKT application, or TL4050B25IDCKT equivalent, key selection criteria include output accuracy over temperature, low-noise performance in battery-powered instrumentation, cathode current headroom for load regulation, and compatibility with capacitive loads without external compensation.
Technical Context
The TL4050B25IDCKT operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, requiring only an external series resistor to set cathode current. Its bandgap-based core delivers stable 2.5V reverse breakdown voltage with low dynamic impedance (0.3Ω at 1mA) and minimal thermal hysteresis (0.7mV).
It functions across a wide cathode current range (60μA–15mA) while maintaining tight output stability - enabled by low temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), low long-term drift (120ppm/1000h), and immunity to capacitive loading effects without output capacitor requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5V nominal; maintains ±0.2% accuracy at 25°C and full –40°C to 85°C range. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% max (B grade); enables 12-bit system accuracy without trimming in data acquisition. |
| Temp Coefficient | ±50ppm/°C max; contributes ≤0.125mV drift over 85°C span, critical for precision sensor interfaces. |
| Output Noise | 41μVRMS (10Hz–10kHz); supports low-noise 16-bit ADC references without added filtering. |
| Cathode Current | 60μA min to 15mA max; allows ultra-low-power operation and robust load regulation in variable-current designs. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.3Ω at 1mA; ensures <1mV output shift under 300μA load transients, improving PSRR in supply monitors. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.7mV; limits repeatability error after thermal cycling, essential for calibration-critical test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
TL4050B25IDCKT uses the SC-70-3 (DCK) package: 1.25mm × 2.1mm footprint, 0.65mm pitch, 0.9mm height - optimized for space-constrained portable and automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference ground node | Connected to system GND; serves as return path for cathode current and load current. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Output voltage node | Provides regulated 2.5V; requires external series resistor to limit current per application load. |
| No Connect (Pin 3) | Unused terminal | Internally floating; must remain unconnected per TI SOT-23/SC-70 pinout guidance to avoid parasitic conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitive-load stability | No output capacitor required; remains stable with any value of capacitive load, simplifying layout in noisy environments. |
| Low micropower operation | 60μA typical minimum cathode current enables use in energy-harvesting and coin-cell applications. |
| Extended temperature support | Specified from –40°C to +85°C; validated for automotive cabin and industrial control ambient conditions. |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 0.7mV max deviation after –40°C ↔ 125°C cycling; preserves calibration integrity in field-deployed instruments. |
| ESD robustness | ±2000V HBM rating; withstands standard handling without special ESD precautions during assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C, but higher 50μA min operating current and 55μVRMS noise. | Requires tighter layout for noise-sensitive 18-bit systems; less suitable for sub-100μA current budgets. | Prefer TL4050B25IDCKT when board space is constrained (SC-70 vs SOT-23) and noise below 45μVRMS is mandatory. |
| LM4040C25IDCKR | 2.5V, ±0.5% initial accuracy, 100ppm/°C, 20μA min current, 35μVRMS noise - C-grade, lower cost. | Acceptable for 12-bit systems where calibration compensates for initial error and drift. | Choose TL4050B25IDCKT when B-grade accuracy and 50ppm/°C stability are required without post-manufacture trimming. |
Compared with REF3025AIDBZR and LM4040C25IDCKR, TL4050B25IDCKT offers superior noise performance and identical accuracy/tempco in a smaller SC-70 package, making it optimal for high-density, low-noise, and battery-constrained designs where 0.2% absolute reference stability is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for TL4050B25IDCKT?
The TL4050B25IDCKT is specified for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per TI's characterization data for the "I" suffix variant, supporting reliable performance in factory automation, automotive cabin electronics, and outdoor industrial sensors without derating.
Does TL4050B25IDCKT require an output capacitor?
No, TL4050B25IDCKT does not require an output capacitor for stability. Its design is inherently stable with all capacitive loads, including large bulk capacitance on the cathode node - eliminating need for external bypass components and simplifying PCB layout in EMI-prone environments.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for TL4050B25IDCKT to regulate properly?
The TL4050B25IDCKT requires a minimum cathode current of 60μA (typical) and 65μA (max over temperature) to maintain regulation within specification. Below this threshold, output voltage deviates beyond ±0.2% tolerance, impacting accuracy in ultra-low-power applications.
How does TL4050B25IDCKT compare to TL4050A25IDCKT in accuracy?
TL4050B25IDCKT has ±0.2% initial tolerance versus ±0.1% for TL4050A25IDCKT. Both share identical 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient and 41μVRMS noise, but TL4050B25IDCKT offers lower cost for applications where 0.2% accuracy meets system-level error budgets.
Can TL4050B25IDCKT be used in place of TL4050B25IDBZT?
Yes, TL4050B25IDCKT and TL4050B25IDBZT share identical electrical specifications and B-grade accuracy, differing only in package: SC-70-3 (DCK) vs SOT-23-3 (DBZ). Pinout is compatible (Anode–Cathode–NC), but footprint and thermal resistance differ - DCK has higher θJA (252°C/W), requiring attention to power dissipation in high-current layouts.
