Texas Instruments LM4040 Precision Micropower Shunt Voltage Reference Datasheet
The LM4040 series consists of versatile, easy-to-use fixed-output shunt voltage references available in 2.048 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, 4.096 V, 5 V, and 10 V options. These devices offer tight output tolerances ranging from a maximum of 0.1% for A grade to 1.0% for D grade, with low temperature coefficients up to 150 ppm/°C depending on the grade.
Packaged in space-saving SOT-23 (DBZ), SC-70 (DCK), and TO-92/TO-226 (LP) formats, the LM4040 requires a minimum current of only 45 pA typical. The device is stable with all capacitive loads without requiring an external output capacitor, making it ideal for battery-powered equipment, data-acquisition systems, and instrumentation applications.
