Product details
Overview
TL4050B41IDBZRG4 from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference delivering a stable 4.096V output with ±0.2% initial tolerance (B grade), 50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 93μVRMS wideband noise, and operation from –40°C to 85°C in SOT-23-3 package. It serves as the reference source in 12-bit data-acquisition systems where 1mV LSB resolution is required.
For engineers reviewing the TL4050B41IDBZRG4 datasheet, TL4050B41IDBZRG4 pinout, TL4050B41IDBZRG4 application, or TL4050B41IDBZRG4 equivalent, key selection factors include cathode current range (52–68μA min to 15mA max), dynamic impedance (0.5Ω at 1mA), thermal hysteresis (1.148mV), and compatibility with all capacitive loads without external stabilization.
Technical Context
The TL4050B41IDBZRG4 operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, requiring only an external series resistor to set cathode current. Its internal bandgap core achieves low drift via curvature compensation, enabling stable regulation across 60μA–15mA operating current and full industrial temperature range.
It exhibits low dynamic impedance (0.5Ω) and minimal voltage change with load current (≤7mV over 1–15mA), making it suitable for high-precision ADC/DAC biasing where supply rejection and noise coupling must be minimized. No output capacitor is required due to inherent stability with any capacitive load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V nominal - matches 12-bit full-scale range of 5V-supplied ADCs (e.g., ADS7842) for exact 1mV LSB. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% max at 25°C - defines worst-case DC error budget before calibration in precision measurement systems. |
| Temp Coefficient | ±50ppm/°C max - contributes ≤0.41mV drift over –40°C to 85°C ambient, critical for uncalibrated field instruments. |
| Wideband Noise | 93μVRMS (10Hz–10kHz) - limits effective resolution to ~15.5 ENOB in noise-sensitive 16-bit+ acquisition paths. |
| Min Cathode Current | 52μA typical - sets minimum RS value in shunt regulator design; enables ultra-low-power battery operation. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.5Ω at 1mA - ensures <0.5mV output shift under 1mA transient load steps, preserving reference integrity during sampling. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 1.148mV - quantifies non-repeatability after thermal cycling; impacts repeatability in lab-grade test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 package (DBZ) with 1.4mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.1mm height, and gull-wing leads. RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference ground node | Must connect to system analog ground; parasitic Schottky diode to Pin 3 requires Pin 3 to float or tie to Pin 2. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Output voltage terminal | Delivers regulated 4.096V; connects to ADC VREF or DAC reference input; carries total load + bias current. |
| No-Connect (Pin 3) | Unused terminal | Internally connected to cathode via Schottky diode; must remain floating or shorted to Pin 2 per TI recommendation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with all capacitive loads | Eliminates need for output bypass capacitor - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained portable designs. |
| Low 93μVRMS noise | Enables direct use in 16-bit SAR ADC references without external filtering, preserving signal chain SNR. |
| 45–15000μA operating range | Supports both microamp-level sensor front-ends and 15mA-driven buffer stages without redesign. |
| –40°C to 85°C operation | Validated performance across industrial ambient range - no derating needed for factory automation or power metering. |
| 0.5Ω dynamic impedance | Minimizes interaction with switching regulators or digital noise sources feeding the reference node. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3041AIDBZR | 3.0ppm/°C typical tempco vs. TL4050B41IDBZRG4's 50ppm/°C max; higher 120μA min current; SC-70 only. | Preferred for metrology-grade instruments requiring sub-10ppm/°C drift; not suitable for ultra-low-current battery apps. | Select REF3041AIDBZR when long-term stability and low drift outweigh power constraints. |
| ADR3440ARJZ-R7 | 4.096V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C max, but requires 100μA min current and SC-70 package. | Better accuracy/tempco than TL4050B41IDBZRG4, yet incompatible with <100μA systems; higher cost. | Choose ADR3440ARJZ-R7 for calibrated medical devices where 0.1% tolerance is mandatory. |
Compared with REF3041AIDBZR and ADR3440ARJZ-R7, TL4050B41IDBZRG4 offers the lowest minimum operating current (52μA) and widest cathode current range (52μA–15mA), making it uniquely suited for cost-sensitive, battery-operated 12-bit data loggers where moderate drift is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of TL4050B41IDBZRG4 at 25°C?
The TL4050B41IDBZRG4 has a maximum initial output voltage tolerance of ±0.2% at 25°C, corresponding to ±8.2mV around the nominal 4.096V output. This specification is guaranteed per TI's electrical characteristics table for the B-grade industrial-temperature variant.
Does TL4050B41IDBZRG4 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, TL4050B41IDBZRG4 does not require an output capacitor for stability. Its internal design ensures unconditional stability with all capacitive loads, including direct connection to ADC reference inputs or large bulk capacitance. Adding a capacitor is optional and does not affect regulation.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for TL4050B41IDBZRG4 to regulate properly?
The TL4050B41IDBZRG4 requires a minimum cathode current of 52μA (typical) and 68μA (maximum) at 25°C to maintain regulation. Below this threshold, the device exits its specified operating region and output voltage deviates from 4.096V.
Can TL4050B41IDBZRG4 be used in automotive applications?
TL4050B41IDBZRG4 is rated for –40°C to 85°C operation and is not qualified to AEC-Q100 standards. For automotive under-hood applications requiring extended temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), TI offers the Q-grade variant TL4050B41QDBZR, not TL4050B41IDBZRG4.
How does the noise performance of TL4050B41IDBZRG4 compare to other 4.096V references?
TL4050B41IDBZRG4 delivers 93μVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz), which is higher than premium references like REF3041 (35μVRMS) but sufficient for 12–14-bit systems. Its noise is measured under standardized conditions (IZ = 100μA) and directly impacts achievable ENOB in precision ADC applications.
