Product details
Overview
TS4040DIZ-2.5 from STMicroelectronics is a 1% precision, 2.5V micropower shunt voltage reference in TO92 plastic package, operating from -40°C to +85°C with 150 ppm/°C max tempco, 40 µA typical current consumption, and 0.4–1.2 Ω static impedance across temperature - used for feedback regulation in battery-powered SMPS and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TS4040DIZ-2.5 datasheet, TS4040DIZ-2.5 pinout, TS4040DIZ-2.5 application, or TS4040DIZ-2.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include initial accuracy at 25°C (±1%), long-term stability (120 ppm over 1000 hrs), low-noise performance (35 µVrms, 10 Hz–10 kHz), and capacitive load stability up to 100 µF.
Technical Context
The TS4040DIZ-2.5 functions as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current to maintain a precise 2.5 V output across its anode-cathode terminals. It operates with a minimum cathode current of 70 µA over full temperature range and supports up to 15 mA maximum, delivering stable regulation without requiring external bias resistors beyond basic current-setting networks.
Its low 40 µA typical quiescent current and 0.2–0.7 Ω dynamic impedance at Ik ≥ 1 mA enable high-efficiency, low-drift operation in space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs. The device exhibits monotonic voltage vs. temperature behavior and maintains ±1% tolerance over industrial temperature range without trimming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±1% at 25°C; ensures accurate feedback setpoint for 3.3 V or 5 V rail regulation |
| Tempco | ≤150 ppm/°C; limits output drift to ±0.375 mV/°C over -40°C to +85°C |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical; enables >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes drawing <100 µA |
| Static Impedance | 0.4–1.2 Ω (Ik = Ikmin to 1 mA); minimizes load-induced voltage error in high-gain feedback loops |
| Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) | 35 µVrms; avoids signal corruption in precision ADC references or analog front-ends |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm over 1000 hrs; reduces calibration frequency in field-deployed test equipment |
Pinout & Package
TS4040DIZ-2.5 uses a 3-pin TO92 plastic package with standard anode-cathode-reference terminal configuration. Pin 1 (Anode) connects to ground or low-impedance return; Pin 2 (Cathode) sinks regulated current; Pin 3 (NC) is not connected and must remain floating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode) | Reference ground node | Low-impedance return path; must be tied directly to system ground plane to avoid noise coupling |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Current-sinking output | Sinks adjustable cathode current to maintain 2.5 V; requires series resistor from supply to set operating point |
| Pin 3 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must be left unconnected and not tied to any net to prevent parasitic leakage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1% Initial Accuracy | Guarantees ≤25 mV absolute error at 25°C, eliminating need for post-assembly trimming in cost-sensitive consumer power supplies |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Maintains regulation with up to 100 µF output capacitance - simplifies EMI filtering without oscillation risk |
| Ultra-Low Operating Current | 40 µA typical sink current enables use in energy-harvesting systems where supply current is limited to <100 µA |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Validated operation from -40°C to +85°C supports deployment in automotive cabin electronics and outdoor industrial sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDBZR | 2.5 V, ±1%, but requires ≥1 mA min cathode current and has higher 22 µA typical bias current | Not suitable for sub-100 µA systems; better for higher-current SMPS with tighter dynamic response needs | Select when higher sink current capability (>100 mA) and faster transient response are required |
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5 V, ±0.2%, but is a series reference requiring ≥50 µA supply current and 1.8 V min input | Requires dedicated LDO or higher input voltage; unsuitable for direct shunt replacement in existing TO92 footprints | Select only when ultra-high accuracy (<±0.2%) justifies redesign and added BOM cost |
Compared with TL431ACDBZR and REF3025AIDBZR, TS4040DIZ-2.5 uniquely balances 1% accuracy, TO92 compatibility, and 40 µA operation - making it optimal for legacy-replacement, battery-limited, and footprint-constrained shunt reference roles without circuit rework.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation across temperature?
The TS4040DIZ-2.5 requires a minimum cathode current of 70 µA over the full -40°C to +85°C range to maintain regulation within ±1% tolerance. At 25°C, the minimum is lower (40 µA typ., 65 µA max), but design must ensure ≥70 µA under worst-case cold conditions to guarantee specification compliance.
Can TS4040DIZ-2.5 drive a 10 µF ceramic capacitor directly at the cathode?
Yes - the TS4040DIZ-2.5 is explicitly characterized for stability with capacitive loads up to 100 µF, including ceramic types. Its low output impedance (≤1.2 Ω) and internal compensation eliminate need for series resistance or external isolation, enabling direct connection for EMI filtering in SMPS feedback paths.
How does long-term stability impact calibration intervals in test equipment?
With 120 ppm drift over 1000 hours (≈6 weeks continuous operation), TS4040DIZ-2.5 contributes <0.03% total error after one year of intermittent use. This allows annual calibration cycles in portable DMMs and data loggers, reducing maintenance cost versus references with >500 ppm/year drift.
Is the TO92 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - TS4040DIZ-2.5 is manufactured in STMicroelectronics' RoHS-compliant, lead-free TO92 package per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device carries the "E" suffix per ST's marking convention for lead-free products and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL3.
