Product details
Overview
TS4041CILT-1.2 from STMicroelectronics is a 0.5% initial accuracy, 1.225V micropower shunt voltage reference in SOT23-3 package, operating from 65µA min current over -40°C to +85°C, with 120ppm/°C tempco and 0.25Ω static impedance-used for precision feedback in battery-powered SMPS and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TS4041CILT-1.2 datasheet, TS4041CILT-1.2 pinout, TS4041CILT-1.2 application, or TS4041CILT-1.2 equivalent, key selection criteria include initial tolerance (±0.5%), ultra-low operating current (65µA max), temperature coefficient (120ppm/°C), cathode current range (65µA–12mA), and stability with capacitive loads up to 100µF.
Technical Context
The TS4041CILT-1.2 functions as a two-terminal shunt reference, regulating voltage by sinking adjustable cathode current while maintaining 1.225V across its terminals. Its design relies on bandgap-derived Zener-like breakdown, optimized for low-current operation and minimal thermal drift.
It achieves ±0.5% initial accuracy at 25°C and maintains stability across –40°C to +85°C with 120ppm/°C average TC, supported by <0.5Ω static impedance and <2mV voltage shift over 65µA–1mA cathode current range-enabling high-accuracy closed-loop control in space-constrained systems.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431ACDBVR | 2.5V fixed output; 1% initial accuracy; 300ppm/°C tempco; 80µA min current | Requires resistor divider for 1.225V derivation; higher TC increases temp-induced error | Select when 2.5V reference suffices or existing designs use TLVH431 footprint |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | 1.25V output; 0.2% initial accuracy; 75ppm/°C tempco; 100µA min current | Higher accuracy and lower TC but consumes 54% more min current-reduces battery life | Select when sub-0.2% accuracy is mandatory and supply current budget allows ≥100µA |
Compared with TLVH431ACDBVR and MAX6008AEUR+T, the TS4041CILT-1.2 uniquely balances 0.5% accuracy, 120ppm/°C TC, and 65µA min current in SOT23-3-making it optimal for space- and power-constrained 1.2V reference applications where mid-tier precision suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode current the TS4041CILT-1.2 can safely handle?
The absolute maximum reverse breakdown current is 20mA, but the recommended maximum operating current is 12mA per electrical characteristics tables. Exceeding 12mA risks exceeding 360mW power dissipation in SOT23-3 at 25°C ambient, potentially causing thermal runaway or accelerated long-term drift. Derating is required above 25°C.
Can the TS4041CILT-1.2 drive a 10µF ceramic capacitor directly without oscillation?
Yes-the datasheet explicitly confirms high stability with capacitive loads, and Figure 5 shows stable pulse response with CL=10µF. No series resistance or external compensation is needed. This eliminates risk of instability in SMPS feedback paths using bulk output capacitance.
How does the 0.5% initial accuracy of TS4041CILT-1.2 compare to the TS4041DILT-1.2 and TS4041EILT-1.2 variants?
The TS4041CILT-1.2 offers ±0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C, tighter than the ±1% of TS4041DILT-1.2 and ±2% of TS4041EILT-1.2. All share identical tempco (120ppm/°C for C-grade, 150ppm/°C for D/E), static impedance, and noise specs-only initial accuracy and marking code (L231 vs L232/L233) differ.
Is the NC pin (Pin 3) in the SOT23-3 package required to be grounded?
No-Pin 3 is internally unconnected and may be left floating. However, grounding it improves EMI immunity in noisy environments and provides mechanical symmetry for reflow soldering. ST's recommended layout in Figure 3 shows Pin 3 grounded, though electrical function remains unaffected.
