Improved Precision Micropower Shunt Voltage
Reference with Multiple Reverse Breakdown Voltages
The LM4040 is a precision two-terminal shunt mode,
bandgap voltage reference available in fixed reverse
breakdown voltages of 2.048V, 2.500V, 3.000V, 3.3V,
4.096V, and 5.000V. Ideal for space-critical applications, the LM4040 is offered in the subminiature 3-pin
SC70 surface-mount package (1.8mm ✕ 1.8mm), 50%
smaller than comparable devices in SOT23 surfacemount 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 LM4040 has a 60µA to 15mA shunt
current capability with low dynamic impedance, ensuring stable reverse breakdown voltage accuracy over a
wide range of operating temperatures and currents.
The LM4040 does not require an external stabilizing
capacitor while ensuring stability with any capacitive
load.
The LM4040 is guaranteed over the temperature range
of -40°C to +125°C.
For a 1.225V output version, refer to the LM4041 data
sheet.

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 ±[(∆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 TMIN or TMAX, and VR is the reverse breakdown
voltage. The total overtemperature tolerance for the different grades in the temperature range where max∆T = +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 over-temperature tolerance for the different grades in the extended temperature range where max ∆T = +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 LM4040-2.5 has an over-temperature reverse breakdown voltage tolerance of ±2.5V
✕ 0.75% = ±19mV.
Note 3: Guaranteed by design.

Detailed Description
The LM4040 shunt references use the bandgap principle to produce a stable, accurate voltage. The device
behaves similarly to an ideal zener diode; a fixed voltage is maintained across its output terminals when
biased with 60µA to 15mA of reverse current. The
LM4040 behaves similarly to a silicon diode when
biased with forward currents up 10mA.
Figure 3 shows a typical operating circuit. The LM4040
is ideal for providing a stable reference from a highvoltage power supply.
Applications Information
The LM4040’s internal pass transistor is used to maintain 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 RS when VS is at a minimum and ILOAD
is at a maximum. Maintain a minimum ISHUNT of 60µA at all
times. The RS value should be large enough to keep
ISHUNT less than 15mA for proper regulation when VS is
maximum and ILOAD is at a minimum. To prevent damage
to the device, ISHUNT should never exceed 20mA.
Therefore, the value of RS is 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 adequate, using
the following general power equation:
PDR = ISHUNT ✕ (VS(MAX) - VSHUNT)

Temperature Performance
The LM4040 typically exhibits an output voltage temperature 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 LM4040 is
+150°C. The maximum operating temperature for the
LM4040_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 temperature,
output power dissipation and package thermal resistance
does not conspire to raise the device temperature 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.
Output Capacitance
The LM4040 does not require an external capacitor for frequency stability and is stable for any output capacitance.
