Product details
Overview
TL4050B41IDBZT from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with 4.096V nominal output, ±0.2% initial tolerance (B grade), 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 93μVRMS wideband noise, and stable operation from 68μA to 15mA cathode current. It serves as a high-accuracy reference in 12-bit data-acquisition systems requiring LSB = 1mV under 5V supply.
For engineers reviewing the TL4050B41IDBZT datasheet, TL4050B41IDBZT pinout, TL4050B41IDBZT application, or TL4050B41IDBZT equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade temperature range (–40°C to 85°C), SOT-23-3 package compatibility, low-noise performance for ADC/DAC biasing, and no-output-capacitor stability across capacitive loads.
Technical Context
The TL4050B41IDBZT operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current to maintain a precise 4.096V reverse breakdown voltage across its terminals. Its internal bandgap-derived core delivers low dynamic impedance (0.5Ω at 1mA) and thermal hysteresis of 1.148mV over –40°C to 125°C cycling.
Designed for direct integration into voltage-divider or series-pass regulator feedback paths, it requires no external compensation and remains stable with all capacitive loads - eliminating need for output bypass capacitors while supporting load current up to 15mA when properly biased via external series resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V nominal at 100μA cathode current; enables exact 1mV LSB in 12-bit systems with 5V full-scale. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% max (B grade) at 25°C; ensures ≤±8.2mV absolute error before temperature drift or aging. |
| Temp Coefficient | ±50ppm/°C max over –40°C to 85°C; contributes ≤±2.05mV drift across full operating range. |
| Noise (10Hz–10kHz) | 93μVRMS typical; limits RMS voltage error in precision measurement front-ends without filtering. |
| Cathode Current Range | 68μA min to 15mA max; supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and higher-current reference buffering. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.5Ω at 1mA, 120Hz; maintains output regulation against fast load transients in ADC sampling circuits. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120ppm after 1000 hours; corresponds to ~0.5mV drift over 1 year under continuous bias. |
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 | Connected to system GND; forms return path for cathode current and defines 0V reference point. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Output voltage terminal | Provides regulated 4.096V output; sinks all bias and load current; connects to ADC VREF or DAC REF input. |
| NC / Floating (Pin 3) | Unused terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to Pin 2 per TI recommendation to avoid parasitic Schottky conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-output-capacitor stability | Operates without external bypass capacitor across cathode/anode - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count in space-constrained designs. |
| Wide cathode current range | Functional from 68μA to 15mA - supports both battery-powered microcontrollers and high-current analog front-ends. |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 1.148mV max after –40°C ↔ 125°C cycling - preserves calibration integrity in thermally cycled industrial equipment. |
| EMI-robust pinout | Pin 3 isolation prevents unintended conduction from EMI coupling; recommended tie to Pin 2 in noisy environments. |
| Extended temp support | Qualified for –40°C to 85°C ambient - meets industrial control and automotive under-hood requirements where extended range is mandatory. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050A41IDBZT | ±0.1% initial tolerance (A grade) vs. ±0.2% (B grade); otherwise identical specs and pinout. | Required where tighter initial accuracy is needed for factory calibration or zero-drift systems. | Select TL4050A41IDBZT if system-level calibration budget allows only ±4.1mV total reference error at 25°C. |
| REF3040AIDBZR | 3.0V output, 50ppm/°C, 25μVRMS noise, SOT-23-3, but uses series topology (not shunt) and requires 50μA supply current. | Suitable for low-noise, low-dropout applications where load connects to VOUT instead of cathode. | Choose REF3040AIDBZR only when series topology is preferred and 3.0V output suffices; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with TL4050A41IDBZT, the TL4050B41IDBZT trades 0.1% initial accuracy for lower cost while retaining identical temperature behavior, noise, and package; versus REF3040AIDBZR, it offers shunt topology flexibility and 4.096V output but with higher noise and different biasing architecture.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of TL4050B41IDBZT at 25°C?
The TL4050B41IDBZT 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 verified per TI's Electrical Characteristics table for TL4050B41I devices under 100μA cathode current test condition.
Does TL4050B41IDBZT require an external output capacitor?
No, TL4050B41IDBZT does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its design is inherently stable with all capacitive loads, including direct connection to ADC reference inputs or long PCB traces. Adding a capacitor is optional and does not affect regulation performance.
What is the minimum cathode current required for TL4050B41IDBZT to regulate properly?
The TL4050B41IDBZT requires a minimum cathode current of 68μA at 25°C (73μA over full –40°C to 85°C range) to maintain regulation within specifications. Below this threshold, output voltage may deviate beyond the ±0.2% tolerance band.
Can TL4050B41IDBZT be used in automotive under-hood applications?
The TL4050B41IDBZT is rated for –40°C to 85°C operation (industrial grade), making it suitable for cabin and some under-dash automotive applications. For under-hood use requiring –40°C to 125°C, the TL4050B41QDBZT variant must be selected instead.
How does TL4050B41IDBZT compare to TL4050C41IDBZT in terms of accuracy and cost?
The TL4050B41IDBZT offers ±0.2% initial tolerance versus ±0.5% for TL4050C41IDBZT, providing tighter accuracy at moderate cost premium. Both share identical temperature coefficient (50ppm/°C), noise (93μVRMS), and package - making TL4050B41IDBZT optimal for applications needing better than C-grade but not requiring A-grade precision.
