Product details
Overview
ZXRE4041ERSTOB 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 converter biasing.
For engineers reviewing the ZXRE4041ERSTOB datasheet, ZXRE4041ERSTOB pinout, ZXRE4041ERSTOB application, or ZXRE4041ERSTOB equivalent, key selection factors 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 ZXRE4041ERSTOB implements a two-terminal shunt topology with bandgap-derived reference core, optimized for low-quiescent-current operation across 30 µA to 12 mA load range. Its architecture eliminates need for external series resistor in many configurations due to stable regulation at microampere-level currents.
It achieves thermal stability via curvature-compensated bandgap design, yielding 20 ppm/°C typical TC over −40°C to +125°C. The device maintains <1 mV reverse breakdown change (ΔVR/ΔIR) from 30 µA to 1 mA and exhibits <0.6 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 mA, enabling high-accuracy feedback in precision regulators and data converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 1.225 V ±0.5% (C grade) - sets accurate bias point for ADC/DAC references and sensor excitation circuits |
| Temp Coefficient | 20 ppm/°C typical - ensures ≤1.2 mV drift over −40°C to +125°C for stable metrology-grade performance |
| Knee Current | 30 µA - enables reliable startup and regulation in ultra-low-power systems like coin-cell IoT sensors |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2–0.6 Ω at 1 mA - minimizes output perturbation during transient load steps in precision power rails |
| Noise (10Hz–10kHz) | 60 µVrms - supports 16-bit+ resolution in data acquisition without added filtering |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Unconditionally stable - allows direct connection to 10 µF ceramic bypass caps without oscillation risk |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package: 3-pin surface-mount plastic case (JEDEC TO-236AB), 2.80–3.04 mm length, 2.10–2.64 mm width, 1.12 mm max height; RoHS-compliant, green molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode / Cathode (floating or tied to Pin 2) | Internally unconnected; may be left open or shorted to cathode to reduce leakage path in high-impedance bias networks |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Reference output node - connects to regulated rail or ADC reference input; sinks current from external source |
| Pin 3 | Anode | Ground return - ties to system GND; completes shunt regulation loop with cathode as output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Shunt topology with no external resistor required | Enables direct replacement of 3-terminal references in space-constrained designs without redesigning bias networks |
| 0.5% initial tolerance (C grade) | Eliminates post-manufacture trimming in portable medical sensors and handheld test meters |
| 20 ppm/°C tempco | Meets industrial-grade accuracy requirements without oven control or digital compensation |
| 30 µA knee current | Supports operation from energy-harvesting sources (e.g., piezoelectric or solar cells) with sub-100 µW power budgets |
| Unconditional capacitive stability | Permits use with standard 10 µF X7R ceramics for EMI suppression without phase-margin analysis |
Applications

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 (1.24–10 V); 1.5% initial tolerance; 100 ppm/°C TC; requires external resistors | Used where programmable reference voltage is needed, not fixed 1.225 V | Select only if adjustable output is required; adds BOM cost and layout area |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 1.25 V output; 0.2% tolerance; 30 ppm/°C TC; 1.5 µA quiescent current | Optimized for ultra-low-power wake-up circuits, not general-purpose precision bias | Prefer when sub-µA supply current dominates design priority over voltage accuracy |
Compared with LM4041CIM3X-ADJ and MAX6008AEUR+T, ZXRE4041ERSTOB uniquely balances 0.5% tolerance, 20 ppm/°C TC, and 30 µA knee current in a pin-compatible SOT23-3 footprint - making it optimal for portable precision analog systems where fixed 1.225 V and minimal external components are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for ZXRE4041ERSTOB?
The absolute maximum rated forward current is 10 mA, but the device operates reliably up to 12 mA per electrical characteristics table. Exceeding 12 mA risks exceeding 330 mW power dissipation limit at 25°C ambient, potentially degrading long-term stability or causing thermal shutdown in confined layouts.
Can ZXRE4041ERSTOB replace LM4041 without circuit modification?
Yes - ZXRE4041ERSTOB is pin-for-pin compatible with LM4041 in SOT23-3 packages and shares identical anode/cathode terminal functions. No resistor or capacitor changes are needed; however, verify that 1.225 V output meets system reference voltage requirements, as LM4041 variants may target 1.225 V, 1.24 V, or 2.048 V.
Does ZXRE4041ERSTOB require an external capacitor for stability?
No external capacitor is required for stability. The device is unconditionally stable into capacitive loads up to at least 10 µF, as confirmed by Diodes' characterization data. Adding a 100 nF ceramic capacitor at the cathode improves high-frequency PSRR but is optional for basic regulation.
What is the meaning of "Pin 1 floating" in the ZXRE4041ERSTOB pinout?
Pin 1 is internally unconnected and may be left floating or tied to Pin 2 (cathode) to minimize leakage current paths in ultra-high-impedance bias networks. It has no electrical function in standard shunt operation and does not affect regulation performance when open.
