Product details
Overview
ZXRE4041ERSTOA from Diodes Incorporated is a precision micropower bandgap voltage reference delivering 1.225 V ±0.5% (C grade) with 20 ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient, 30 µA minimum operating current, and unconditional stability into capacitive loads - used in battery-powered instrumentation and portable A/D converters.
For engineers reviewing the ZXRE4041ERSTOA datasheet, ZXRE4041ERSTOA pinout, ZXRE4041ERSTOA application, or ZXRE4041ERSTOA equivalent, key selection criteria include knee current (30 µA), reverse dynamic impedance (0.2–0.6 Ω), wideband noise (60 µVrms), tolerance grade, and SOT23-3 compatibility with LM4041 footprints.
Technical Context
The ZXRE4041ERSTOA operates as a shunt-mode two-terminal voltage reference, requiring an external current source and load resistor to establish bias. It functions across 30 µA to 12 mA, maintaining regulation without oscillation even with >1 µF capacitive loading at the cathode.
Its bandgap core achieves low drift via curvature compensation, yielding 20 ppm/°C typical TC over –40°C to +125°C and <100 ppm/°C max TC. Reverse breakdown voltage variation is specified as ±6 mV (1.219 V to 1.231 V) at 100 µA for C-grade units.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 1.225 V ±0.5% (C grade) - sets precise analog bias point for ADCs and sensor signal chains |
| Temp Coefficient | 20 ppm/°C typical - ensures ≤±1.23 mV drift over –40°C to +125°C ambient |
| Knee Current | 30 µA - minimum bias current enabling regulation onset; enables ultra-low-power sleep modes |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2–0.6 Ω at 1 mA - minimizes output voltage shift under load transients |
| Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) | 60 µVrms - supports 16-bit+ resolution in precision data acquisition |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Unconditionally stable - eliminates need for series resistance or isolation when driving op-amp inputs or ADC sample capacitors |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 2.80–3.04 mm × 2.10–2.64 mm × 1.12 mm height, 0.95 mm lead pitch, green molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode (floating or tied to Pin 2) | Optional connection to cathode for improved noise rejection; left open in standard shunt configuration |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Regulated output node; connects to load and bias resistor; accepts unlimited capacitive loading |
| Pin 3 | Anode | Ground reference terminal; must be connected to system ground for proper regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LM4041 pin-compatible footprint | Direct drop-in replacement in existing SOT23-3 layouts without PCB revision |
| 0.5% initial tolerance (C grade) | Eliminates post-manufacture trimming in portable medical sensors and handheld meters |
| 30 µA minimum operating current | Enables operation from high-impedance bias networks in energy-harvesting systems |
| 20 ppm/°C tempco | Meets industrial-grade accuracy requirements without external calibration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4041CIM3X-ADJ | Adjustable output (1.24 V min); 0.5% tolerance; higher 65 ppm/°C max TC | Requires external resistor divider; less suitable for fixed 1.225 V systems | Select only if adjustable reference voltage is required; not pin-compatible for 1.225 V use |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 1.25 V output; 0.2% tolerance; 30 ppm/°C max TC; SOT23-3 | Higher accuracy but mismatched voltage; may require circuit redesign for 1.225 V nodes | Prefer when 1.25 V is acceptable and tighter initial tolerance justifies cost premium |
Compared with LM4041CIM3X-ADJ and MAX6008AEUR+T, ZXRE4041ERSTOA uniquely delivers 1.225 V ±0.5% in a drop-in SOT23-3 package with lowest tempco and lowest knee current - critical for space-constrained, battery-operated precision analog systems.

FAQ
What is the recommended bias resistor value for ZXRE4041ERSTOA at 3.3 V supply?
At 3.3 V supply, a 15 kΩ resistor delivers ~137 µA bias current - well above the 30 µA knee and within the 12 mA absolute maximum. This ensures stable regulation while minimizing power dissipation (≈0.45 mW). Lower values increase current margin but raise quiescent power; higher values risk dropout below 30 µA at temperature extremes.
Can ZXRE4041ERSTOA drive a 100 nF bypass capacitor directly?
Yes - the device is unconditionally stable with any capacitive load, including 100 nF ceramic capacitors placed directly at the cathode. No series resistor or isolation is needed. This simplifies layout and improves transient response in ADC reference buffers and sensor front-ends.
How does the 0.5% tolerance affect system calibration in a 16-bit ADC design?
A 0.5% tolerance (±6.125 mV at 1.225 V) contributes ≈1 LSB error in a 2.5 V full-scale 16-bit ADC (LSB = 38.1 µV). For highest accuracy, system-level calibration can correct this offset; however, many portable instruments achieve required specs without calibration due to low tempco and noise.
Is ZXRE4041ERSTOA RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes - ZXRE4041ERSTOA uses green molding compound (Br- and Sb-free), meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, and complies with REACH SVHC thresholds. Certificate of Compliance is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics for traceable industrial procurement.
