Product details
Overview
TS4041EILT-1.2 from STMicroelectronics is a 1.225 V, ±2% precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SOT23-3 package, operating from 65 µA min current over -40°C to +85°C, with 150 ppm/°C tempco and 0.25–0.5 Ω static impedance-used for accurate biasing in battery-powered SMPS feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the TS4041EILT-1.2 datasheet, TS4041EILT-1.2 pinout, TS4041EILT-1.2 application, or TS4041EILT-1.2 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current, tight initial tolerance at 25°C, capacitive-load stability, and industrial temperature performance without series pass transistor overhead.
Technical Context
The TS4041EILT-1.2 functions as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current to maintain 1.225 V across its terminals. It requires an external current-limiting resistor and operates stably with up to 100 µF capacitive loads-no series capacitor needed for phase margin.
Its 150 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient and <2.5 mV current-induced voltage shift (for Ik = 1 mA to 12 mA) enable predictable error budgeting in analog signal chains where supply headroom is constrained and thermal gradients exist.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.225 V typical; ±2% initial accuracy at 25°C ensures ≤24.5 mV absolute error in precision ADC reference or op-amp bias networks. |
| Operating Current | 65 µA max at 25°C; enables operation from high-value resistive dividers in energy-harvesting or coin-cell systems. |
| Tempco | 150 ppm/°C max; contributes ≤18.6 mV drift over full -40°C to +85°C range, critical for unregulated ambient sensing nodes. |
| Static Impedance | 0.25–0.5 Ω; minimizes load-regulation error (<0.5 mV per 1 mA load change), supporting dynamic current-sink applications. |
| Noise Density | 200 nV/√Hz (10 Hz–10 kHz); low enough for 12-bit SAR ADC references without additional filtering. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm over 1000 hrs; supports calibration retention in portable instrumentation with infrequent recalibration cycles. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3L plastic micropackage (JEDEC MO-178AA), 2.9 mm × 2.64 mm × 1.12 mm body, lead-free, ECOPACK® compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference ground return path | Connected to system GND; carries full cathode current; must be low-impedance to avoid ground bounce errors. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Reference output node | Provides stable 1.225 V when biased with external resistor; sinks current into this pin to regulate voltage. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No connection | Internally unconnected; left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice to reduce parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low operating current | 65 µA max enables use in 10-year battery-powered sensors with >1 MΩ bias resistors. |
| Capacitive-load stability | Stable with 0–100 µF output capacitance eliminates need for isolation resistors in LDO feedback paths. |
| Industrial temperature range | -40°C to +85°C operation supports deployment in outdoor metering and automotive cabin electronics. |
| Low static impedance | 0.25–0.5 Ω reduces load-induced voltage shift to <0.5 mV, preserving accuracy under varying sink conditions. |

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 | 2.5 V fixed output; 1% initial tolerance; 90 ppm/°C tempco; 80 µA min operating current | Requires resistor divider for 1.225 V derivation; higher current demand limits ultra-low-power use | Select when 2.5 V reference suffices or when tighter tempco outweighs voltage mismatch penalty |
| LM4040CIM3-ADJ | Adjustable output (1.235–10 V); 0.5% initial tolerance; 100 ppm/°C tempco; 60 µA min current | Needs two external resistors; adds layout area and resistor tolerance error to final accuracy | Select when design requires programmable reference voltage or tighter initial tolerance than ±2% |
Compared with TLVH431ACDBVR and LM4040CIM3-ADJ, TS4041EILT-1.2 delivers exact 1.225 V without external resistors, lowest quiescent current, and optimized stability for space-constrained, battery-limited designs-even if it trades off some tempco and initial tolerance.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation at -40°C?
The TS4041EILT-1.2 requires ≥70 µA cathode current across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) to maintain regulation. At -40°C, this exceeds the 65 µA typical value at 25°C due to increased bandgap-related leakage; design must ensure bias resistor delivers ≥70 µA even at worst-case low temperature and supply voltage.
Can TS4041EILT-1.2 drive a 10 µF ceramic capacitor directly?
Yes-TS4041EILT-1.2 is explicitly characterized for stability with 0–100 µF capacitive loads, including ceramic types. No series isolation resistor is needed, unlike many older shunt references. This simplifies layout in SMPS feedback networks and eliminates ESR-dependent phase margin concerns.
How does the 150 ppm/°C temperature coefficient translate to voltage error at +85°C?
Over a 125°C span (-40°C to +85°C), 150 ppm/°C yields a maximum drift of 18.75 mV (1.225 V × 125 × 150 × 10⁻⁶). Combined with ±2% initial error (±24.5 mV), total worst-case deviation remains within ±43.3 mV-suitable for 10-bit systems but may require trimming in 12-bit+ applications.
Is the NC pin (Pin 3) safe to connect to ground?
Yes-Pin 3 is internally unconnected and may be tied to ground without electrical impact. Doing so improves mechanical robustness and reduces susceptibility to noise coupling in high-density layouts; ST's recommended footprint shows Pin 3 grounded in evaluation designs.
