LM4040/4041
Precision Micropower Shunt Voltage Reference
General Description
Features
Ideal for space critical applications, the LM4040 and LM4041
precisionvoltagereferencesareavailableinthesubminiature
(3mm × 1.3mm) SOT-23 surface-mount package.
• Small SOT-23 package
• No output capacitor required
• Tolerates capacitive loads
• Fixed reverse breakdown voltages of 1.225, 2.500V,
4.096V and 5.000V
• Adjustable reverse breakdown version
• Contact Micrel for parts with extended temperature
range.
The LM4040 is the available in fixed reverse breakdown
voltages of 2.500V, 4.096V and 5.000V. The LM4041 is avail-
able with a fixed 1.225V or an adjustable reverse breakdown
voltage.
The minimum operating current ranges from 60µA for the
LM4041-1.2 to 74µA for the LM4040-5.0. LM4040 versions
have a maximum operating current of 15mA. LM4041 ver-
sions have a maximum operating current of 12mA.
Key Specifications
• Output voltage tolerance .............................±0.1% (max)
• Low output noise (10Hz to 100Hz)
The LM4040 and LM4041 have bandgap reference tempera-
ture drift curvature correction and low dynamic impedance,
ensuring stable reverse breakdown voltage accuracy over a
wide range of operating temperatures and currents.
