Product details
Overview
TS4041EIZ-1.2 from STMicroelectronics is a 2% initial-accuracy, 1.225 V ultra-low-power shunt voltage reference in TO-92 plastic package, operating from -40°C to +85°C with 65 µA max quiescent current and 150 ppm/°C tempco. It delivers stable reference voltage for precision analog signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation and SMPS feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the TS4041EIZ-1.2 datasheet, TS4041EIZ-1.2 pinout, TS4041EIZ-1.2 application, or TS4041EIZ-1.2 equivalent, key selection criteria include initial tolerance (±2%), cathode current range (65 µA–12 mA), static impedance (≤0.5 Ω), temperature coefficient (≤150 ppm/°C), and capacitive load stability up to 100 µF.
Technical Context
The TS4041EIZ-1.2 functions as a two-terminal shunt reference, requiring an external series resistor to set cathode current between 65 µA and 12 mA. Its bandgap-derived core achieves 1.225 V nominal output with ±2% tolerance at 25°C and ±36 mV drift over -40°C to +85°C.
It exhibits low dynamic impedance (0.25–0.5 Ω) and wideband noise of 200 nV/√Hz (10 Hz–10 kHz), enabling high-precision ADC biasing and closed-loop regulation where low noise and minimal load-induced error are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.225 V nominal; ±2% tolerance at 25°C ensures accurate scaling for 12-bit ADC references. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±2% (TS4041E grade); guarantees reference error ≤24.5 mV at room temperature. |
| Tempco | 150 ppm/°C max; contributes ≤123 µV/°C drift across industrial range, limiting total error to ±0.1% over temperature. |
| Quiescent Current | 65 µA max at 25°C; enables operation from microamp-level supply rails in energy-harvesting sensors. |
| Static Impedance | 0.25–0.5 Ω; minimizes output voltage shift under varying cathode current (e.g., <2.5 mV change from 1 mA to 12 mA). |
| Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) | 200 nV/√Hz; supports high-resolution measurement systems without added filtering overhead. |
| Operating Temp Range | -40°C to +85°C; validated for use in industrial control modules and automotive cabin electronics. |
Pinout & Package
TS4041EIZ-1.2 uses a 3-pin TO-92 plastic package with standard pinout: Pin 1 = Anode (GND), Pin 2 = Cathode (VREF), Pin 3 = NC (not connected). The package supports through-hole mounting and is compatible with standard TO-92 footprint layouts.
| 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) | Reference voltage output | Delivers 1.225 V when biased with 65 µA–12 mA cathode current; connects to feedback node of op-amp or ADC reference input. |
| Pin 3 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder joint permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low operating current | 65 µA max enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered portable meters. |
| Capacitive load stability | Stable with up to 100 µF output capacitance-eliminates need for isolation resistors in noisy SMPS environments. |
| Precision over temperature | ±36 mV total drift over -40°C to +85°C supports calibration-free operation in unheated enclosures. |
| Low noise performance | 200 nV/√Hz broadband noise avoids post-processing filtering in 16-bit data acquisition front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACZ | 2.495 V nominal output; 2% tolerance; higher 100 µA min cathode current; SOT-23-3 package | Requires level-shifting for 1.2 V systems; unsuitable for ultra-low-power designs below 100 µA | Select only if 2.5 V reference and higher current budget are acceptable. |
| LM4040CIM3-1.2 | 1.225 V nominal; 0.5% tolerance; 75 µA max quiescent current; SOT-23-3 package | Tighter initial accuracy but higher cost; same tempco (150 ppm/°C); no TO-92 option | Choose when ±0.5% accuracy is mandatory and surface-mount assembly is preferred. |
Compared with TL431ACZ and LM4040CIM3-1.2, TS4041EIZ-1.2 uniquely combines TO-92 through-hole compatibility, 65 µA ultra-low current, and 1.225 V output-making it optimal for legacy designs, prototyping, and low-volume industrial instruments where board space and power are constrained but leaded packaging is required.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation?
The TS4041EIZ-1.2 requires a minimum cathode current of 65 µA at 25°C to maintain regulation within specification. At full temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), the minimum increases to 70 µA. Below this threshold, output voltage drops nonlinearly and cannot guarantee 1.225 V ±2%.
Can TS4041EIZ-1.2 drive a 10 µF ceramic capacitor directly?
Yes-the TS4041EIZ-1.2 is explicitly characterized for stability with capacitive loads up to 100 µF, including ceramic types. No series isolation resistor is needed, unlike many older shunt references, making it ideal for noisy SMPS feedback paths.
Is the TO-92 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes-TS4041EIZ-1.2 is manufactured in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free TO-92 package per STMicroelectronics' 2002 product release documentation and subsequent compliance declarations. The plastic body and internal metallization meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
How does long-term stability affect calibration intervals in field instruments?
With 120 ppm drift over 1000 hours under 100 µA bias, TS4041EIZ-1.2 accumulates <±0.015% output shift per year-enabling annual calibration cycles in portable test equipment without performance degradation.
