The Texas Instruments LM4040A41IDBZRG4 is a precision shunt voltage reference delivering a fixed 4.096 V output with a tight ±0.1% initial tolerance and a temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C.
Shunt topology — no load-current minimum to manage
As a shunt reference, the LM4040A41IDBZRG4 sinks current through its cathode to regulate the output voltage. The 80 µVrms noise spec (10 Hz to 10 kHz) is clean enough for a 12-bit ADC reference without additional filtering in most layouts.
The SOT-23-3 footprint is shared across the LM4040 family, so a pin-compatible alternate within the same series is straightforward if a different voltage or tolerance tier is needed.
