LM4040/4041
Precision Micropower Shunt Voltage Reference
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 breakdown
voltage.
The minimum operating current ranges from 60ìA for the
LM4041-1.2 to 74ìA 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 have bandgap reference temperature
drift curvature correction and low dynamic impedance,
ensuring stable reverse breakdown voltage accuracy over a
wide range of operating temperatures and currents.
