Applications Information
The LM4040 is a precision micro-power curvature-corrected
bandgap shunt voltage reference. For space critical applica-
tions, the LM4040 is available in the sub-miniature SOT-23
and SC70 surface-mount package. The LM4040 has been
designed for stable operation without the need of an external
capacitor connected between the “+” pin and the “” pin. If,
however, a bypass capacitor is used, the LM4040 remains
stable. Reducing design effort is the availability of several
fixed reverse breakdown voltages: 2.048V, 2.500V, 3.000V,
4.096V, 5.000V, 6.000, 8.192V, and 10.000V. The minimum
operating current increases from 60 A for the LM4040-2.048
and LM4040-2.5 to 100
μA for the LM4040-10.0. All versions
have a maximum operating current of 15 mA.
LM4040s in the SOT-23 packages have a parasitic Schottky
diode between pin 2 () and pin 3 (Die attach interface con-
tact). Therefore, pin 3 of the SOT-23 package must be left
floating or connected to pin 2.
LM4040s in the SC70 have a parasitic Schottky diode be-
tween pin 1 () and pin 2 (Die attach interface contact).
Therefore, pin 2 must be left floating or connected to pin1.
The 4.096V version allows single +5V 12-bit ADCs or DACs
to operate with an LSB equal to 1 mV. For 12-bit ADCs or
DACs that operate on supplies of 10V or greater, the 8.192V
version gives 2 mV per LSB.
The typical thermal hysteresis specification is defined as the
change in +25°C voltage measured after thermal cycling. The
device is thermal cycled to temperature -40°C and then mea-
sured at 25°C. Next the device is thermal cycled to tempera-
ture +125°C and again measured at 25°C. The resulting
V
OUT delta shift between the 25°C measurements is thermal
hysteresis. Thermal hysteresis is common in precision refer-
ences and is induced by thermal-mechanical package stress.
Changes in environmental storage temperature, operating
temperature and board mounting temperature are all factors
that can contribute to thermal hysteresis.
In a conventional shunt regulator application
(Figure 1) , an
external series resistor (R
S) is connected between the supply
voltage and the LM4040. R
S determines the current that flows
through the load (I
L) and the LM4040 (IQ). Since load current
and supply voltage may vary, R
S should be small enough to
supply at least the minimum acceptable I
Q to the LM4040
even when the supply voltage is at its minimum and the load
current is at its maximum value. When the supply voltage is
at its maximum and I
L is at its minimum, RS should be large
enough so that the current flowing through the LM4040 is less
than 15 mA.
R
S is determined by the supply voltage, (VS), the load and
operating current, (I
L and IQ), and the LM4040's reverse
breakdown voltage, V
R.
