This series reference operates with input voltages as
low as 2V and up to 6V consuming 160 µA (Typ.)
supply current. In power down mode, device current
drops to less than 2 μA.
The LM4125 comes in two grades (A and Standard)
and three voltage options for greater flexibility. The
best grade devices (A) have an initial accuracy of
0.2%, while the standard have an initial accuracy of
0.5%, both with a tempco of 50ppm/°C ensured from
−40°C to +125°C.
The very low dropout voltage, low supply current and
power-down capability of the LM4125 makes this
product an ideal choice for battery powered and
portable applications.
The device performance is ensured over the industrial
temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), while certain
specs are ensured over the extended temperature
range (−40°C to +125°C). Please contact TI for full
specifications over the extended temperature range.
The LM4125 is available in a standard 5-pin SOT-23
package.

Limits are 100% production tested at 25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are ensured through correlation using Statistical
Quality Control (SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Typical numbers are at 25°C and represent the most likely parametric norm.
Dropout voltage is the differential voltage between VOUT and VIN at which VOUT changes ≤ 1% from VOUT at VIN = 3.3V for 2.0V, 2.5V
and 5V for 4.1V. A parasitic diode exists between input and output pins; it will conduct if VOUT is pulled to a higher voltage than VIN.
Output noise voltage is proportional to VOUT. VN for other voltage option is calculated using (VN(1.8V)/1.8) * VOUT. VN (2.5V) =
(36µVPP/1.8) * 2.5 = 46µVPP.
Thermal hysteresis is defined as the change in +25°C output voltage before and after exposing the device to temperature extremes.
Long term stability is change in VREF at 25°C measured continuously during 1000 hrs.

PIN FUNCTIONS
Output (Pin 5): Reference Output.
Input (Pin 4): Positive Supply.
Ground (Pin 2): Negative Supply or Ground Connection.
APPLICATION HINTS
The standard application circuit for the LM4125 is shown in Figure 19. It is designed to be stable with ceramic
output capacitors in the range of 0.022µF to 0.1µF. Note that 0.022µF is the minimum required output capacitor.
These capacitors typically have an ESR of about 0.1 to 0.5Ω. Smaller ESR can be tolerated, however larger ESR
can not. The output capacitor can be increased to improve load transient response, up to about 1µF. However,
values above 0.047µF must be tantalum. With tantalum capacitors, in the 1µF range, a small capacitor between
the output and the reference pin is required. This capacitor will typically be in the 50pF range. Care must be
taken when using output capacitors of 1µF or larger. These application must be thoroughly tested over
temperature, line and load.
An input capacitor is typically not required. However, a 0.1µF ceramic can be used to help prevent line transients
from entering the LM4125. Larger input capacitors should be tantalum or aluminum.
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.
Figure 19. Standard Application Circuit
INPUT CAPACITOR
Noise on the power-supply input can effect the output noise, but can be reduced by using an optional bypass
capacitor between the input pin and the ground.
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATION
The mechanical stress due to PC board mounting can cause the output voltage to shift from its initial value.
References in SOT packages are generally less prone to assembly stress than devices in Small Outline (SOIC)
package.
To reduce the stress-related output voltage shifts, mount the reference on the low flex areas of the PC board
such as near to the edge or the corner of the PC board.
