LM4030
SOT-23 Ultra-High Precision Shunt Voltage Reference
LM4030 SOT-23 Ultra-High Precision Shunt Voltage Reference
General Description
The LM4030 is an ultra-high precision shunt voltage reference, having exceptionally high initial accuracy (0.05%) and
temperature stability (10ppm/°C). The LM4030 is available
with fixed voltage options of 2.5V and 4.096V. Despite the tiny
SOT23 package, the LM4030 exhibits excellent thermal hysteresis (75ppm) and long-term stability (40ppm) as well as
immunity to board stress effects.
The LM4030 is designed to operate without an external capacitor, but any capacitor up to 10µF may be used. The
LM4030 can be powered off as little as 120µA (max) but is
capable of shunting up to 30mA continuously. As with any
shunt reference, the LM4030 can be powered off of virtually
any supply and is a simple way to generate a highly accurate
system reference.
The LM4030 is available in three grades (A, B, and C). The
best grade devices (A) have an initial accuracy of 0.05% with
guaranteed temperature coefficient of 10 ppm/°C or less,
while the lowest grade parts (C) have an initial accuracy of
0.05%, 10 ppm/°C max (A grade)LM4030AMF-2.5LM4030AMFX-2.5R5JA

Application Information
THEORY OF OPERATION
The LM4030 is an ultra-high precision shunt voltage reference, having exceptionally high initial accuracy (0.05%) and
temperature stability (10ppm/°C). The LM4030 is available
with fixed voltage options of 2.5V and 4.096V. Despite the tiny
SOT23 package, the LM4030 exhibits excellent thermal hysteresis (75ppm) and long-term stability (25ppm). The LM4030
is designed to operate without an external capacitor, but any
capacitor up to 10 µF may be used. The LM4030 can be powered off as little as 120 µA (max) but is capable of shunting
up to 30 mA continuously. The typical application circuit for
the LM4030 is shown in Figure 1.
30046301
FIGURE 1. Typical Application Circuit
COMPONENT SELECTION
A resistor must be chosen to set the maximum operating current for the LM4030 (RZ in Figure 1). The value of the resistor
can be calculated using the following equation:
RZ = (VIN - V
RZ is chosen such that the total current flowing through RZ is
greater than the maximum load current plus the minimum operating current of the reference itself. This ensures that the
reference is never starved for current. Running the LM4030
at higher currents is advantageous for reducing noise. The
reverse dynamic impedance of the V
ly with the shunted current (see Figure 2) leading to higher
rejection of noise emanating from the input supply and from
EMI (electro-magnetic interferrence).

in Figure 1) and is stable with capacitors of

sient response and reduce broadband noise. Additionally, a
bypass capacitor will counter the rising reverse dynamic
impedance at higher frequencies improving noise immunity
(see Figure 3).

THERMAL HYSTERESIS
Thermal hysteresis is the defined as the change in output
voltage at 25°C after some deviation from 25°C. This is to say
that thermal hysteresis is the difference in output voltage between two points in a given temperature profile. An illustrative
temperature profile is shown in Figure 4.

The LM4030 features a low thermal hysteresis of 75 ppm
LM4030
(typical) from -40°C to 125°C after 8 temperature cycles.
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
Temperature drift is defined as the maximum deviation in output voltage over the temperature range. This deviation over
temperature may be illustrated as shown in Figure 5.
shifts in VREF arise due to offsets between matched devices
within the regulation loop. Both passive and active devices
naturally experience drift over time and stress and temperature gradients across the silicon die also generate offset. The
LM4030 incorporates a dynamic offset cancellation scheme
which compensates for offsets developing within the regulation loop. This gives the LM4030 excellent long-term stability
(40 ppm typical) and thermal hysteresis performance (75ppm
typical), as well as substantial immunity to PCB stress effects,
despite being packaged in a tiny SOT23.
EXPRESSION OF ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Electrical characteristics are typically expressed in mV, ppm,
or a percentage of the nominal value. Depending on the application, one expression may be more useful than the other.
To convert one quantity to the other one may apply the following:

DYNAMIC OFFSET CANCELLATION AND LONG TERM
STABILITY
Aside from initial accuracy and drift performance, other specifications such as thermal hysteresis and long-term stability
can affect the accuracy of a voltage reference, especially over
the lifetime of the application. The reference voltage can also
shift due to board stress once the part is mounted onto the
PCB and during subsequent thermal cycles. Generally, these

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD and LAYOUT
CONSIDERATIONS
The LM4030 has a very small change in reverse voltage with
current (25ppm/mA typical) so large variations in load current
(up to 50mA) should not appreciably shift VREF. Parasitic resistance between the LM4030 and the load introduces a
voltage drop proportional to load current and should be minimized. The LM4030 should be placed as close to the load it
is driving as the layout will allow. The location of RZ is not
important, but C
