Product details
Overview
TS4040EIZ-2.5 from STMicroelectronics is a 2.5V ultra-low-power shunt voltage reference in TO-92 package, delivering ±2% initial accuracy at 25°C, 150 ppm/°C max tempco, and 40 µA typical operating current. It operates across -40°C to +85°C and maintains stability with capacitive loads up to 100 µF - used in precision battery monitoring circuits within portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TS4040EIZ-2.5 datasheet, TS4040EIZ-2.5 pinout, TS4040EIZ-2.5 application, or TS4040EIZ-2.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum cathode current (60 µA), reverse static impedance (<1.2 Ω), long-term stability (120 ppm/1000 hrs), and noise performance (35 µVrms, 10 Hz–10 kHz).
Technical Context
The TS4040EIZ-2.5 functions as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking current to regulate voltage at its cathode. Its operation requires an external series resistor to set cathode current between 60 µA and 15 mA, with stable output maintained even under varying load capacitance (0–100 µF) and temperature extremes.
It achieves ±2% tolerance over industrial temperature range via curvature-compensated bandgap design, with low dynamic impedance (0.2–1.2 Ω) ensuring minimal voltage shift under current transients. The device exhibits 35 µVrms wideband noise and 120 ppm long-term drift after 1000 hours at 100 µA bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±2% at 25°C; defines precise reference point for ADCs, comparators, and battery gauges |
| Initial Accuracy | ±2% over -40°C to +85°C; ensures system-level calibration validity without per-unit trimming |
| Tempco | ≤150 ppm/°C; limits voltage drift to ±0.3125 mV/°C across full temperature range | Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical; enables multi-year operation from coin-cell batteries in always-on sensors |
| Min Operating Current | 60 µA at 25°C; sets lowest usable bias for stable regulation in ultra-low-power sleep modes |
| Reverse Static Impedance | 0.4–1.2 Ω (Ik = Ikmin to 1 mA); minimizes load-induced voltage error in high-precision feedback paths |
| Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) | 35 µVrms; supports 12-bit+ resolution in low-speed data acquisition without external filtering |
Pinout & Package
TS4040EIZ-2.5 uses a 3-pin TO-92 plastic package with standard lead configuration: Pin 1 = Anode (GND), Pin 2 = Cathode (VREF), Pin 3 = NC (not connected). The package is through-hole compatible and rated for 625 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode) | Ground reference terminal | Must be connected directly to system ground plane to minimize noise coupling and ensure stable regulation |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Regulated 2.5V output node | Sinks current from external resistor; voltage at this pin is the precision reference for downstream circuitry |
| Pin 3 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practices to avoid parasitic coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low operating current | 40 µA typical enables >10-year battery life in maintenance-free IoT sensor nodes |
| Capacitive load stability | Stable with 0–100 µF output capacitance eliminates need for external isolation resistors |
| Industrial temperature range | -40°C to +85°C operation supports deployment in outdoor metering and factory-floor equipment |
| Low dynamic impedance | Sub-1.2 Ω impedance reduces sensitivity to supply ripple and transient load steps |
| Low wideband noise | 35 µVrms noise floor allows direct interface with 12-bit SAR ADCs without post-filtering |

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 | 2.5V adjustable shunt, ±1% initial accuracy, 90 ppm/°C tempco, 70 µA min cathode current | Requires two external resistors for fixed 2.5V; higher quiescent current limits ultra-low-power use | Preferred when tighter initial tolerance and lower tempco are required, and board space allows resistor network |
| LM4040C25IDBZR | 2.5V shunt, ±0.5% initial accuracy, 100 ppm/°C tempco, 60 µA min cathode current, SOT-23-3 package | Smaller footprint but higher cost; not TO-92 compatible for legacy through-hole designs | Select when upgrading to surface-mount assembly and requiring improved accuracy without changing reference topology |
Compared with TL431ACDBZR and LM4040C25IDBZR, TS4040EIZ-2.5 offers the lowest quiescent current (40 µA) and TO-92 compatibility for cost-sensitive through-hole systems, trading off initial accuracy for extended battery life and simplified layout.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation?
The TS4040EIZ-2.5 requires a minimum cathode current of 60 µA at 25°C to maintain regulation within specification. At temperature extremes (-40°C or +85°C), this increases to 70 µA. Below this threshold, output voltage deviates beyond ±2% tolerance and dynamic impedance rises significantly.
Can TS4040EIZ-2.5 drive a 10 µF ceramic capacitor directly?
Yes - the TS4040EIZ-2.5 is explicitly characterized for stability with capacitive loads up to 100 µF, including ceramic, tantalum, and electrolytic types. No series isolation resistor is needed, unlike many competing shunt references that oscillate or exhibit overshoot with >100 nF loads.
How does long-term stability impact calibration intervals?
With 120 ppm drift over 1000 hours at 100 µA bias, TS4040EIZ-2.5 contributes less than 0.03% error after one year of continuous operation. This enables annual calibration cycles in portable test equipment instead of quarterly, reducing maintenance overhead and downtime.
Is the TO-92 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - TS4040EIZ-2.5 is manufactured in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free TO-92 package per STMicroelectronics' qualified process. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and supports standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
