General Description

Ideal for space critical applications, the LM4040 and LM4041 precision voltage references are available in the subminiature (3mm × 1.3mm) SOT-23 surface-mount package.

The LM4040 is the available in fixed reverse breakdown voltages of 2.500V, 4.096V and 5.000V. The LM4041 is available with a fixed 1.225V or an adjustable reverse break down voltage.

The LM4040 and LM4041’s advanced design eliminates the need for an external stabilizing capacitor while ensuring stability with any capacitive load, making them easy to use.

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 versions have a maximum operating current of 12mA.

The LM4040 and LM4041 utilizes zener-zap reverse break down voltage trim during wafer sort to ensure that the prime parts have an accuracy of better than ±0.1% (A grade) at 25°C. Bandgap reference temperature drift curvature correction and low dynamic impedance ensure stable reverse breakdown voltage accuracy over a wide range of operating temperatures and currents.
