Product details
Overview
TL4050C50QDBZR from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference delivering a stable 5.0V output with ±0.5% initial tolerance and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient across –40°C to 125°C. It operates from 60μA to 15mA cathode current, exhibits 93μVRMS 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 TL4050C50QDBZR datasheet, TL4050C50QDBZR pinout, TL4050C50QDBZR application, or TL4050C50QDBZR equivalent, key selection criteria include extended-temperature operation, low dynamic impedance (0.5Ω), thermal hysteresis (1.4mV), minimum cathode current (74μA typ), and SOT-23-3 package compatibility for space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The TL4050C50QDBZR functions as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking current through its cathode to regulate voltage at the anode node. Its internal bandgap core achieves tight initial accuracy and low drift via curvature-compensated design, with dynamic impedance held below 0.5Ω at 1mA to minimize load-induced output variation.
Characterized over –40°C to 125°C, it delivers guaranteed performance without external capacitors and supports direct connection to ADC/DAC reference inputs-e.g., enabling 1mV LSB resolution in 12-bit systems when paired with 4.096V variants, though TL4050C50QDBZR itself provides 5.0V scaling for 5V-rail applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0V nominal at 100μA cathode current; enables direct 5V system rail referencing without scaling resistors. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% max at 25°C; defines worst-case DC offset in precision measurement front-ends. |
| Temp Coefficient | ±50ppm/°C max over –40°C to 125°C; contributes ≤0.6mV drift across full automotive temperature range. |
| Wideband Noise | 93μVRMS (10Hz–10kHz); limits effective resolution in 16-bit+ ADC systems without additional filtering. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.5Ω typical at 1mA; ensures <1mV output shift under 1mA load transients. |
| Cathode Current Range | 74μA min to 15mA max; supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and higher-current analog circuitry. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 1.4mV over –40°C ↔ 125°C cycling; quantifies non-recoverable voltage shift after thermal stress. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 package (DBZ) with gull-wing leads, 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.45mm height, and thermal pad omitted. RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode | Current sink terminal | Connected to supply rail via series resistor; regulates voltage at anode by sinking excess current. |
| Anode | Reference output node | Provides stable 5.0V output; must be decoupled locally if driving high-frequency loads. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Internally floating; must remain unconnected or tied to cathode per TI's SOT-23 parasitic diode guidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with all capacitive loads | Eliminates need for output capacitor-reducing BOM count and PCB area in portable designs. |
| Extended temperature range | –40°C to 125°C operation certified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
| Low micropower consumption | 74μA minimum cathode current enables battery life extension in always-on sensor monitors. |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 1.4mV hysteresis ensures repeatable voltage after thermal cycling-critical for calibration-critical test equipment. |
| High ESD robustness | ±2000V HBM rating protects against handling damage during manual assembly and rework. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050B50QDBZR | ±0.2% initial tolerance vs. ±0.5% for TL4050C50QDBZR; otherwise identical specs and pinout. | Required where tighter DC accuracy is needed for 14-bit ADC interfaces or factory calibration fixtures. | Select TL4050B50QDBZR when budget allows for improved accuracy without layout change. |
| REF3050AIDBZR | Series reference (not shunt); 5.0V output, ±0.2% tolerance, 50ppm/°C, but requires minimum 35μA supply current and has different pinout. | Suitable for low-noise LDO-based supplies where cathode current sourcing is impractical. | Choose REF3050AIDBZR only if redesign permits series topology and higher quiescent current is acceptable. |
Compared with TL4050B50QDBZR, TL4050C50QDBZR trades 0.3% initial accuracy for lower cost in volume production; versus REF3050AIDBZR, it retains shunt topology advantages-no supply sequencing dependency and inherent current-sinking capability-but lacks series-reference PSRR benefits.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the TL4050C50QDBZR?
The TL4050C50QDBZR is characterized for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This extended range is validated per TI's Q-grade qualification standards and makes TL4050C50QDBZR suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial control environments where thermal stress is significant.
Does the TL4050C50QDBZR require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the TL4050C50QDBZR does not require an output capacitor for stability. Its internal design ensures unconditional stability with all capacitive loads-including ceramic, tantalum, and electrolytic types-eliminating the need for external bypass components and simplifying layout in space-constrained designs.
What is the minimum cathode current required for proper regulation of the TL4050C50QDBZR?
The TL4050C50QDBZR requires a minimum cathode current of 74μA (typical) at 25°C, rising to 90μA maximum across –40°C to 125°C. Below this threshold, regulation degrades and output voltage deviates beyond specification; designers must size the series resistor accordingly using worst-case supply and load conditions.
How does the thermal hysteresis of TL4050C50QDBZR affect system calibration?
The TL4050C50QDBZR exhibits 1.4mV thermal hysteresis-the voltage shift observed after cycling between –40°C and 125°C and returning to 25°C. This non-recoverable offset impacts absolute accuracy in systems requiring traceable calibration, such as metrology-grade instruments, and must be accounted for in end-of-line test algorithms.
Can TL4050C50QDBZR be used as a replacement for TL4050C50IDBZR in existing designs?
Yes, TL4050C50QDBZR is a direct functional replacement for TL4050C50IDBZR with identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and SOT-23-3 packaging. The only difference is the extended temperature rating (–40°C to 125°C vs. –40°C to 85°C), making TL4050C50QDBZR suitable for upgraded thermal environments without PCB or firmware changes.
