3 Description
The LM4140 series of precision references are
designed to combine high accuracy, low drift, and
noise with low power dissipation in a small package.
The LM4140 is the industry's first reference with
output voltage options lower than the bandgap
voltage.
The key to the advance performance of the LM4140
is the use of EEPROM registers and CMOS DACs for
temperature coefficient curvature correction and
trimming of the output voltage accuracy of the device
during the final production testing.
The major advantage of this method is the much
higher resolution available with DACs than is
available economically with most methods used by
other bandgap references.
The low input and dropout voltage, low supply
current, and output drive capability of the LM4140
makes this product an ideal choice for battery
powered and portable applications.
The LM4140 is available in three grades (A, B, C)
with 0.1% initial accuracy and 3, 6, and 10 ppm/°C
temperature coefficients. For even lower temperature
coefficients, contact Texas Instruments.
The device performance is specified over the
temperature range 0°C to 70°C, and is available in
compact 8-pin package.
For other output voltage options from 0.5 V to 4.5 V,
contact Texas Instruments.

(1) For proper operation, a 1-µF capacitor is required between the output pin and the GND pin of the device.
(2) 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 TI's Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
(3) Typical numbers are at 25°C and represent the most likely parametric norm.
(4) High temperature and mechanical stress associated with PCB assembly can have significant impact on the initial accuracy of the
LM4140 and may create significant shifts in VREF.
(5) Thermal hysteresis is defined as the changes in 25°C output voltage before and after the cycling of the device from 0°C to 70°C.
(6) Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output differential voltage at which the output voltage drops by 0.5% below the value
measured with VIN = 3 V for the 1.024-V and 1.25-V, VIN = 5 V for all other voltage options.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM4140 device is a high-precision series voltage reference available in 5 difference output voltage options,
including the 1.024-V option below the bandgap voltage. The series reference can operate with input voltage as
low as VREF + 400 mV over temperature, consuming 400 µA or less over temperature depending on voltage
option. While in shutdown, the device consumes 10 nA (typical).
7.2 Functional Block Diagram
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 ON/OFF Operation
The LM4140 is designed to quickly reduce both VREF and IQto zero when turned off. VREF is restored in less than
200 µs when turned on. During the turnoff, the charge across the output capacitor is discharged to ground
through internal circuitry.
The LM4140 is turned off by pulling the enable input low, and turned on by driving the input high. If this feature is
not to be used, the enable pin must be tied to the VIN to keep the reference on at all times (the enable pin must
not be left floating).
To ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the enable pin must be able to swing above and
below the specified high and low voltage thresholds which ensure an ON or OFF state (see Electrical
Characteristics).
The ON/OFF signal may come from either a totem-pole output, or an open-collector output with pullup resistor to
the LM4140 input voltage. This high-level voltage may exceed the LM4140 input voltage, but must remain within
the absolute maximum rating for the enable pin.

8 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.
8.1 Application Information
8.1.1 Input Capacitors
Although not always required, TI recommends an input capacitor. A supply bypass capacitor on the input assures
that the reference is working from a source with low impedance, which improves stability. A bypass capacitor can
also improve transient response by providing a reservoir of stored energy that the reference can use in case
where the load current demand suddenly increases. The value used for CIN may be used without limit.
8.1.2 Output Capacitors
The LM4140 requires a 1-µF (nominally) output capacitor for loop stability (compensation) as well as transient
response. During the sudden changes in load current demand, the output capacitor must source or sink current
during the time it takes the control loop of the LM4140 to respond.
This capacitor must be selected to meet the requirements of minimum capacitance and equivalent series
resistance (ESR) range.
In general, the capacitor value must be at least 0.2 µF (over the actual ambient operating temperature), and the
ESR must be within the range indicated in Figure 22,Figure 23, and Figure 24.

8.1.3 Tantalum Capacitors
Surface-mountable solid tantalum capacitors offer a good combination of small physical size for the capacitance
value, and ESR in the range required by the LM4140. The results of testing the LM4140 stability with surface
mount solid tantalum capacitors show good stability with values in the range of 0.1 µF. However, optimum
performance is achieved with a 1-µF capacitor.
Table 2 shows tantalum capacitors that have been verified as suitable for use with the LM4140.

8.1.4 Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
Although probably not a good choice for a production design, because of relatively large physical size, an
aluminium electrolytic capacitor can be used in the design prototype for an LM4140 reference. A 1-µF capacitor
meeting the ESR conditions can be used. If the operating temperature drops below 0°C, the reference may not
remain stable, as the ESR of the aluminium electrolytic capacitor increases, and may exceed the limits indicated
in the figures.

8.1.5 Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors
Surface-mountable multilayer ceramic capacitors may be an attractive choice because of their relatively small
physical size and excellent RF characteristics.
However, they sometimes have an ESR values lower than the minimum required by the LM4140, and relatively
large capacitance change with temperature. The manufacturer's datasheet for the capacitor must be consulted
before selecting a value. Test results of LM4140 stability using multilayer ceramic capacitors show that a
minimum of 0.2 µF is usually required.
Table 4 shows the multilayer ceramic capacitors that have been verified as suitable for use with the LM4140.

4.7 Tokin 1E475ZY5U-C304
8.1.6 Reverse Current Path
The P-channel Pass transistor used in the LM4140 has an inherent diode connected between the VIN and VREF
pins (see Figure 25).
Figure 25. Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor
Forcing the output to voltages higher than the input, or pulling VIN below voltage stored on the output capacitor
by more than a Vbe, forward biases this diode and current flows from the VREF terminal to VIN. No damage to the
LM4140 occurs under these conditions as long as the current flowing into the output pin does not exceed 50 mA.
8.1.7 Output Accuracy
Like all references, either series or shunt, the after assembly accuracy is made up of primarily three components:
initial accuracy itself, thermal hysteresis, and effects of the PCB assembly stress.
LM4140 provides an excellent output initial accuracy of 0.1% and temperature coefficient of 6ppm/°C (B Grade).
For best accuracy and precision, the LM4140 junction temperature must not exceed 70°C.
The thermal hysteresis curve on this datasheet are performance characteristics of three typical parts selected at
random from a sample of 40 parts.
Parts are mounted in a socket to minimize the effect of PCB's mechnical expansion and contraction. Readings
are taken at 25°C following multiple temperature cycles to 0°C and 70°C. The labels on the X axis of Figure 26
indicate the device temperature cycle prior to measurement at 25°C.

Figure 26. Typical Thermal Hysteresis
The mechanical stress due to the PCB's mechanical and thermal stress can cause an output voltage shift more
than the true thermal coefficient of the device. References in surface mount packages are more susceptible to
these stresses because of the small amount of plastic molding which support the leads.
Following the recommendations on Layout can minimize the mechanical stress on the device.

Typical Applications (continued)
8.2.8.1 Design Requirements
Provide positive and negative reference voltages for the ADC1175 low power ADC.
8.2.8.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Use LM4140 to generate a 2.5-V positive reference voltage. The reference voltage is passed into an opamp to
act as a buffer and inverter, which yields a positive and negative reference. Transistors are used to drive the low
impedance inputs of the ADC1175.
8.2.9 Self-Biased Low Power ADC Reference With Trim Current Sources
Figure 37. Self-Biased Low Power ADC Reference With Trim Current Sources Schematic
8.2.9.1 Design Requirements
Use ADC1175 internal reference, but increase accuracy with trimming currents.
8.2.9.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The LM4140-2.5 sets a stable voltage source which is buffered and inverted, and the opamps are used as force
and sense amplifiers. This application does not require the transistor to drive low impedance nodes as the
internal reference voltages are still being used. The external circuitry is to increase the accuracy of the internal
reference.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
While an input capacitor is not required, TI recommends using a 0.1 µF or larger capacitor to reduce noise on the
input and improve transient response.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The simplest ways to reduce the stress related shifts are:
1. Mounting the device near the edges or the corners of the board where mechanical stress is at its minimum.
The center of the board generally has the highest mechanical and thermal expansion stress.
2. Mechanical isolation of the device by creating an island by cutting a U shape slot on the PCB for mounting
the device. This approach would also provide some thermal isolation from the rest of the circuit.
Figure 39 is a recommended printed-circuit board layout with a slot cut on three sides of the circuit layout to
serve as a strain relief.
