Ideal for space critical applications, the LM4040 and
LM4041 precision voltage references are available in
the subminiature SOT-23 surface-mount package.
The LM4040 is 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 60
μA
for
the LM4041-1.2 to 74
μA
for the LM4040-5.0. LM4040
versions have a maximum operating current of 15 mA.
LM4041 versions have a maximum operating current of
12 mA.
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.

† Notice:
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those indicated
in the operational sections of this specification is not intended. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
‡ Notice:
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating ratings.
Note 1:
The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by T
JMAX
(max-
imum junction temperature),
Ɵ
JA
(junction-to-ambient thermal resistance), and T
A
(ambient temperature).
The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is P
DMAX
= (T
JMAX
– T
A
)/
Ɵ
JA
or the number
given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM4040 and LM4041, T
JMAX
= +125°C
and the typical thermal resistance, when board-mounted, is +326°C/W for the SOT-23 package.

Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions are recommended. Human body model, 1.5 kΩ in series
with 100 pF. The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin.

R
/∆T is the V
R
tempera-
ture coefficient, 65°C is the temperature range from –40°C to the reference point of 25°C, and V

is the
reverse-breakdown voltage. The total overtemperature tolerance for the different grades follows:
a. C-grade: ±1.15% = ±0.5% ±100 ppm/°C × 65°C
b. D-grade: ±1.98% = ±1.0% ±150 ppm/°C × 65°C
Example: The C-grade LM4040-2.5 has an overtemperature Reverse-Breakdown Voltage tolerance of
±2.5 × 1.15% = ±29 mV.
