The LM4040 is a family of bandgap circuits designed to
achieve precision micro-power voltage references of 2.5V,
3.0V and 5.0V. The devices are availabl e in 0.2% B-grade,
0.5% C-grade and 1% D-grade initial tolerances.
They are available in small outline SOT23 and SC70-5
surface mount packages which are ideal for applications
where space is at a premium.
Excellent performance is maintained over the 60µA to
15mA operating current range with a typical temperature
coefficient of only 20ppm/°C. The device has been
designed to be highly tolerant of capacitive loads so
maintaining excellent stability.
This device offers a pin for pin compatible alternative to the
LM4040 voltage reference.

Printed circuit board layout considerations
LM4040s in the SOT23 package have the die attached to pin 1, which results in an electrical contact between pin 2 and pin
3. Therefore, pin 1 of the SOT-23 package must be left floating or connected to pin 2.
LM4040s in the SC70-5 package have the die attached to pin 2, which results in an electrical contact between pin 2 and pin
1. Therefore, pin 2 must be left floating or connected to pin1.

RS determines the current that flows through the load (IL) and the LM4040 (IR). Since load current and
supply voltage may vary, RS should be small enough to supply at le ast the minimum acceptable IR to the
LM4040 even when the supply voltage is at its minimum and the load cu rrent 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 LM4040 is less than 15 mA.
