Product details
Overview
TS4041CIZ-1.2 from STMicroelectronics is a 0.5% initial accuracy, 1.225 V ultra-low-power shunt voltage reference in TO-92 package, operating from -40°C to +85°C with 120 ppm/°C max tempco and 65 µA max quiescent current. It delivers stable reference voltage for precision analog sensing and low-power battery-operated systems.
For engineers reviewing the TS4041CIZ-1.2 datasheet, TS4041CIZ-1.2 pinout, TS4041CIZ-1.2 application, or TS4041CIZ-1.2 equivalent, key selection criteria include initial tolerance (±0.5%), temperature coefficient (120 ppm/°C), cathode current range (65 µA–12 mA), static impedance (≤0.5 Ω), and long-term stability (120 ppm over 1000 hrs).
Technical Context
The TS4041CIZ-1.2 functions as a two-terminal shunt reference, requiring an external series resistor to set cathode current. Its bandgap-derived core ensures monotonic voltage vs. temperature behavior and minimal load regulation error across capacitive loads up to 100 µF.
It operates within 65 µA to 12 mA cathode current, with reverse breakdown voltage tightly specified at 1.219–1.231 V (25°C) and drift limited to ±6 mV over -40°C to +85°C. Static impedance remains ≤0.5 Ω across its operating current range, enabling fast transient response in feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.225 V nominal; ±0.5% initial tolerance (1.219–1.231 V) enables high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing. |
| Tempco | 120 ppm/°C max; ensures <±0.1% output drift over full industrial range (-40°C to +85°C). |
| Quiescent Current | 65 µA max at 25°C; supports multi-year operation in coin-cell-powered instrumentation. |
| Static Impedance | 0.25–0.5 Ω; maintains regulation under dynamic load steps without external compensation. |

| Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) | 200 nV/√Hz; preserves SNR in precision sensor front-ends and low-noise amplifiers. |
| Operating Current Range | 65 µA to 12 mA; accommodates both ultra-low-power sleep modes and active regulation phases. |
Pinout & Package
TS4041CIZ-1.2 uses a 3-pin TO-92 plastic package (order code Z). Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = NC (not connected). The device is configured as a two-terminal shunt reference: cathode connects to regulated node, anode to ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode) | Reference ground terminal | Must be connected directly to system ground plane; serves as current return path for cathode current. |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Regulated output terminal | Delivers stable 1.225 V when biased with external resistor; connects to feedback node of LDO or ADC reference input. |
| Pin 3 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder mask required. |

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation at -40°C?
The TS4041CIZ-1.2 requires a minimum cathode current of 65 µA at -40°C to maintain regulation within specification. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for TS4041C grade under "-40°C < Tamb < +85°C" conditions, ensuring stable operation across the full industrial temperature range without derating.
Can TS4041CIZ-1.2 drive a 10 µF ceramic capacitor directly?
Yes-TS4041CIZ-1.2 is explicitly characterized for stability with capacitive loads up to 100 µF, including ceramic types. The datasheet shows no peaking or oscillation in pulse response tests with CL = 0 µF, 10 µF, and 100 µF, confirming unconditional stability without series resistance or isolation components.
How does the 0.5% tolerance translate to absolute voltage deviation at 25°C?
At 25°C, the 0.5% tolerance corresponds to ±6.125 mV around the 1.225 V nominal output, yielding a guaranteed range of 1.219 V to 1.231 V. This is verified in the TS4041C Electrical Characteristics table under "Vk Reverse Breakdown Voltage" with test condition Ik = 100 µA.
Is the TO-92 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes-the TS4041CIZ-1.2 TO-92 package is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, consistent with STMicroelectronics' general product compliance policy effective since 2006. The device carries the "RoHS compliant" marking on packaging and meets JEDEC J-STD-609 Category 1a for lead-free finish per the official ST product change notice PCN-2005-012.
