LM4051-N Precision Micropower Shunt Voltage Reference
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
Ideal for space critical applications, the LM4051-N
precision voltage reference is available in the subminiature (3 mm x 1.3 mm) SOT-23 surface-mount
package. The LM4051-N’s advanced design
eliminates the need for an external stabilizing
capacitor while ensuring stability with any capacitive
load, thus making the LM4051-N easy to use. Further
reducing design effort is the availability of a fixed
(1.225V) and adjust- able reverse breakdown voltage.
The minimum operating current is 60 μA for the
LM4051-1.2 and the LM4051-ADJ. Both versions
have a maximum operating current of 12 mA.

The LM4051-N comes in three grades (A, B, and C).
The best grade devices (A) have an initial accuracy of
0.1%, while the B-grade have 0.2% and the C-grade
0.5%, all with a tempco of 50 ppm/ ̊C guaranteed
from −40 ̊C to 125 ̊C.
The LM4051-N utilizes fuse and zener-zap trim of
reference voltage during wafer sort to ensure that the
prime parts have an accuracy of better than ± 0.1%
(A grade) at 25 ̊C.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax (maximum junction temperature),
θJA (junction to ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any
temperature is PDmax= (TJmax −TA )/ θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM4051-N,
TJmax = 125°̊ C, and the typical thermal resistance (θJA), when board mounted, is 280°C/W for the SOT-23 package.

This overtemperature limit for Reverse Breakdown Voltage Tolerance is defined as the room temperature Reverse Breakdown Voltage
Tolerance ± [(∆VR/∆T)(max∆T)(VR)]. Where, ∆VR/∆T is the VR temperature coefficient, max∆T is the maximum difference in
temperature from the reference point of 25°̊ C to TMAX or TMIN, and VR is the reverse breakdown voltage. The total overtemperature
tolerance for the different grades in the industrial temperature range where max∆T=65 ̊C is shown below:
(a) A-grade: ± 0.425% = ± 0.1% ± 50 ppm/°̊ C x 65°̊ C
(b) B-grade: ± 0.525% = ± 0.2% ± 50 ppm/°̊ C x 65°̊ C
(c) C-grade: ± 0.825% = ± 0.5% ± 50 ppm/°̊ C x 65°̊ C
Therefore, as an example, the A-grade LM4051-1.2 has an over-temperature Reverse Breakdown Voltage tolerance of ± 1.2V x 0.425%
= ± 5.2 mV.
Limits are 100% production tested at 25 ̊C. Limits over temperature are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality Control
(SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate National’s AOQL.

Tolerance ± [(∆VR/∆T)(max∆T)(VR)]. Where, ∆VR/∆T is the VR temperature coefficient, max∆T is the maximum difference in temperature
from the reference point of 25°̊ C to TMAX or TMIN, and VR is the reverse breakdown voltage. The total overtemperature tolerance for the

(a) A-grade: ± 0.425% = ± 0.1% ± 50 ppm/°̊ C × 65°̊ C

(c) C-grade: ± 0.825% = ± 0.5% ± 50 ppm/°̊ C × 65°̊ C
Therefore, as an example, the A-grade LM4051-1.2 has an overtemperature Reverse Breakdown Voltage tolerance of ± 1.2 V × 0.425%
= ± 5.2 mV.
Reference voltage and temperature coefficient will change with output voltage. See Typical Characteristics curves.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LM4051-N is a precision voltage reference available in SOT-23 surface mount package. The LM4051-N is
available in a 1.225 V fixed-option as well as an adjustable voltage option. The LM4051-N comes in three
different tolerance grades (A, B, and C). The best grade devices (A) have an initial accuracy of 0.1%, while the
B-grade have 0.2% and the C-grade 0.5%, all with a temperature coefficient of 50 ppm/˚C guaranteed from
−40˚C to 125˚C.
8.2 Functional Block Diagram
*LM4051-ADJ only
**LM4051-1.2 only
8.3 Feature Description
The LM4051-N device is effectively a precision Zener diode. The part requires a small quiescent current for
regulation, and regulates the output voltage by shunting more or less current to ground, depending on input
voltage and load. The only external component requirement is a resistor between the cathode and the input
voltage to set the input current. An external capacitor can be used on the input or output, but is not required.
For the adjustable verson, feedback is applied from the Cathode and Reference pins, the LM4051-N behaves as
a Zener diode, regulating to a constant voltage dependent on current being supplied into the cathode. This is due
to the internal amplifier and reference entering the proper operating regions. The same amount of current needed
in the above feedback situation must be applied to this device in open loop, servo or error amplifying
implementations in order for it to be in the proper linear region giving the LM4051-N enough gain.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 LM4051-N - 1.2 V
The LM4051-N - 1.2V device is a fixed output voltage part, where the feedback is internal. Therefore, the part
can only operate is a closed loop mode and the output voltage cannot be adjusted. The output voltage will
remain in regulation as long as IR is between IRMIN. Proper selection of the external resistor for input voltage
range and load current range will ensure these conditions are met.
8.4.2 LM4051-N - ADJ
The majority of applications involving LM4051-N uses closed loop operation to regulate a fixed voltage or current.
The feedback enables this device to behave as an error amplifier, computing a portion of the output voltage and
adjusting it to maintain the desired regulation. This is done by relating the output voltage back to the reference
pin in a manner to make it equal to the internal reference voltage, which can be accomplished via resistive or
direct feedback.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The LM4051-N is a precision micro-power curvature-corrected bandgap shunt voltage reference. For space
critical applications, the LM4051-N is available in the sub-miniature SOT-23 surface-mount package. The
LM4051-N has been designed for stable operation without the need of an external capacitor connected between
the “+” pin and the “−” pin. If, however, a bypass capacitor is used, the LM4051-N remains stable. Design effort
is further reduced with the choice of either a fixed 1.2-V or an adjustable reverse breakdown voltage. The
minimum operating current is 60 μA for the LM4051-1.2 and the LM4051-ADJ. Both versions have a maximum
operating current of 12 mA.
LM4051-N's using the SOT-23 package have pin 3 connected as the (–) output through the package’s die attach
interface. Therefore, the LM4051-1.2’s pin 3 must be left floating or connected to pin 2 and the LM4051-ADJ’s
pin 3 is the (–) output.
The typical thermal hysteresis specification is defined as the change in +25 ̊C voltage measured after thermal
cycling. The device is thermal cycled to temperature –40 ̊C and then measured at 25 ̊C. Next the device is
thermal cycled to temperature +125 ̊C and again measured at 25 ̊C. The resulting VOUT delta shift between the
25 ̊C measurements is thermal hysteresis. Thermal hysteresis is common in precision references and is induced
by thermal-mechanical package stress. Changes in environmental storage temperature, operating temperature
and board mounting temperature are all factors that can contribute to thermal hysteresis.
In a conventional shunt regulator application (Figure 18), an external series resistor (RS) is connected between
the supply voltage and the LM4051-N. RS determines the current that flows through the load (IL) and the
LM4051-N (IQ). Since load current and supply voltage may vary, RS should be small enough to supply at least
the minimum acceptable IQ to the LM4051-N even when the supply voltage is at its minimum and the load
current is at its maximum value. When the supply voltage is at its maximum and IL is at its minimum, RS should
be large enough so that the current flowing through the LM4051-N is less than 12 mA.
RS should be selected based on the supply voltage, (VS), the desired load and operating current, (IL and IQ), and
the LM4051-N's reverse breakdown voltage, VR.
RS =
VS - VR
IL + IQ

The LM4051-ADJ’s output voltage can be adjusted to any value in the range of 1.24 V through 10 V. It is a
function of the internal reference voltage (VREF) and the ratio of the external feedback resistors as shown in
Figure 20. The output voltage is found using Equation 2:
VO = VREF éë(R2 / R1) + 1ùû
where
•
RS =
VO is the output voltage
(2)
VS - VR
IL + IQ + IF
(3)
The actual value of the internal VREF is a function of VO. The corrected VREF is determined by Equation 4:
VR EF = VO (D VR EF / D VO ) + VY
where
•
VY = 1.22 V

Application Information (continued)
∆VREF/∆VO is found in the LM4051-ADJ Electrical Characteristics and is typically −1.55 mV/V. You can get a
more accurate indication of the output voltage by replacing the value of VREF in Equation 2 with the value found
using Equation 4.

9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
VIN > VOUT
Select RS such that:
IRMIN < IR < IRMAX where IRMAX = 12 mA
See LM4051-1.2 Electrical Characteristics for minimum operating current for each voltage option and grade.
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The resistor RS must be selected such that current, IR, will remain in the operational region of the part for the
entire VIN range and load current range. The two extremes to consider are VIN at its maximum, and the load at its
minimum, where RS must be large enough to main IR < IRMAX. For most desigins, 0.1 mA ≤ IR≤ 1 mA is a good
starting point.
Use cross and cross to set RS between RS_MIN and RS_MAX.

9.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
In order to program the cathode voltage to a regulated voltage a resistive bridge must be shunted between the
cathode and anode pins with the mid point tied to the reference pin. This can be seen in Figure 20, with R1 & R2
being the resistive bridge. The cathode/output voltage in the shunt regulator configuration can be approximated
by the equation shown in Equation 7. The cathode voltage can be more accurately determined by taking in to
account the cathode current shown in equation Equation 8.

Typical Applications (continued)
In order for this equation to be valid, LM4051-ADJ must be fully biased so that it has enough open loop gain to
mitigate any gain error. This can be done be meeting the IRMIN denoted in LM4051-ADJ Electrical Characteristics.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
While a bypass capacitor is not required on the input voltage line, TI recommends reducing noise on the input
which could affect the output. A 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor or larger is recommended.
In order to not exceed the maximum cathode current, be sure that the supply current is limited. For applications
shunting high currents, pay attention to the cathode and anode trace lengths, adjusting the width of the traces to
have proper current density.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Bypass capacitors should be placed as close to the device as possible. Current-carrying traces need to have
widths appropriate for the amount of current they are carrying. Place RS as close as possible to the cathode.
Although not as critical, keep feedback resistor close to the device whenever possible.
