General Description

The LM4041 is a precision two-terminal shunt mode,

bandgap voltage reference with a fixed reverse break-

down voltage of 1.225V. Ideal for space-critical appli-

cations, the LM4041 is offered in the subminiature 3-pin

SC70 surface-mount package (1.8mm ✕1.8mm), 50%

smaller than comparable devices in SOT23 surface-

mount packages (SOT23 versions are also available).

Laser-trimmed resistors ensure precise initial accuracy.

With a 100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, the device

is offered in four grades of initial accuracy ranging from

0.1% to 1%. The LM4041 has a 60µA to 12mA shunt

current capability with low dynamic impedance, ensur-

ing stable reverse-breakdown voltage accuracy over a

wide range of operating temperatures and currents.

The LM4041 does not require an external stabilizing

capacitor while ensuring stability with any capacitive

load.

The LM4041 is guaranteed over the temperature range

-40°C to +125°C.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (continued)

(IR= 100µA, TA= TMIN to TMAX, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at TA= +25°C.) (Note 1)

Note 1: All devices are 100% production tested at +25°C and are guaranteed by design for TA= TMIN to TMAX, as specified.

Note 2: The overtemperature limit for Reverse Breakdown Voltage Tolerance is defined as the room-temperature Reverse

Breakdown Voltage Tolerance ±[(ΔVR/ ΔT)(maxΔT)(VR)], where ΔVR/ ΔT is the VRtemperature coefficient, maxΔT is the

maximum difference in temperature from the reference point of +25°C to TMIN or TMAX, and VRis the reverse breakdown

voltage. The total overtemperature tolerance for the different grades in the temperature range where maxΔT = +65°C is

shown below:

A grade: ±0.75% = ±0.1% ±100ppm/°C ✕65°C

B grade: ±0.85% = ±0.2% ±100ppm/°C ✕65°C

C grade: ±1.15% = ±0.5% ±100ppm/°C ✕65°C

D grade: ±1.98% = ±1.0% ±150ppm/°C ✕65°C

The total overtemperature tolerance for the different grades in the extended temperature range where maxΔT = +100°C is

shown below:

A grade: ±1.1% = ±0.1% ±100ppm/°C ✕100°C

B grade: ±1.2% = ±0.2% ±100ppm/°C ✕100°C

C grade: ±1.5% = ±0.5% ±100ppm/°C ✕100°C

D grade: ±2.5% = ±1.0% ±150ppm/°C ✕100°C

Therefore, as an example, the A-grade LM4041-1.2 has an overtemperature reverse breakdown voltage tolerance of ±2.5V

x 0.75% = ±19mV.

Note 3: Guaranteed by design.

Detailed Description

The LM4041 shunt references use the bandgap princi-

ple to produce a stable, accurate voltage. The device

behaves similarly to an ideal zener diode; a fixed volt-

age of +1.225V is maintained across its output termi-

nals when biased with 60µA to 12mA of reverse

current. The LM4041 behaves similarly to a silicon

diode when biased with forward currents up 10mA.

Figure 3 shows a typical operating circuit. The LM4041

is ideal for providing a stable reference from a high-

voltage power supply.

Applications Information

The LM4041’s internal pass transistor is used to main-

tain a constant output voltage (VSHUNT) by sinking the

necessary amount of current across a source resistor.

The source resistance (RS) is determined from the load

current (ILOAD) range, supply voltage (VS) variations,

VSHUNT, and desired quiescent current.

Choose the value of RSwhen VSis at a minimum and

ILOAD is at a maximum. Maintain a minimum ISHUNT of

60µA at all times. The RSvalue should be large enough

to keep ISHUNT less than 12mA for proper regulation

when VSis maximum and ILOAD is at a minimum. To

prevent damage to the device, ISHUNT should never

exceed 20mA.

Therefore, the value of RSis bounded by the following

equation:

[VS(MIN) - VR] / [60µA + ILOAD(MAX)] > RS>

[VS(MAX) - VR] / [20mA + ILOAD(MIN)]

Choosing a larger resistance minimizes the total power

dissipation in the circuit by reducing the shunt current

(PD(TOTAL) = VS✕ISHUNT). Provide a safety margin to

incorporate the worst-case tolerance of the resistor

used. Ensure that the resistor’s power rating is ade-

quate, using the following general power equation:

PR= ISHUNT ✕(VS(MAX) - VR)

Output Capacitance

The LM4041 does not require an external capacitor for

frequency stability and is stable for any output capaci-

tance.

Temperature Performance

The LM4041 typically exhibits an output voltage tem-

perature coefficient within ±15ppm/°C. The polarity of

the temperature coefficient may be different from one

device to another; some may have positive coefficients,

and others may have negative coefficients.

High Temperature Operation

The maximum junction temperature of the LM4041 is

+150°C. The maximum operating temperature for the

LM4041_E_ is +125°C. At a maximum load current of

15mA and a maximum output voltage of 5V, the part

will dissipate 75mW of power. The power dissipation

limits of the 3-pin SC70 call for a derating value of

2.17mW/°C above +70°C and thus for 75mW of power

dissipation, the part will selfheat to 35.56°C above

ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is

+125°C, the part operates at 159.56°C, thereby

exceeding the maximum junction temperature value of

+150°C. For high-temperature operation, care must be

taken to ensure the combination of ambient tempera-

ture, output power dissipation, and package thermal

resistance does not conspire to raise the device tem-

perature beyond that listed in the Absolute Maximum

Ratings. Either reduce the output load current or the

ambient temperature to keep the part within the limits.
