Product details

5 V shunt reference with ±0.2% initial accuracy

It delivers a fixed 5 V output with ±0.2% initial tolerance — tight enough to serve as the reference for an 8-bit or 10-bit ADC without external trimming. As a shunt (two-terminal) reference, it behaves like a low-temperature-coefficient Zener: you set the operating current with a single series resistor from the supply rail. The minimum cathode current to maintain regulation is 80 µA, and the absolute maximum continuous cathode current is 15 mA.

Obsolete — official status and sourcing path

No official successor part number has been published, so the replacement path is either a pin-compatible shunt reference from the same family or a move to a series reference if the application can tolerate the different topology. Availability is limited to existing factory stock and the independent surplus channel.

For a 5 V reference that is about 16 ppm rms — clean enough for a 12-bit ADC if the reference input is adequately bypassed.

Frequently asked questions

Is LM4040BIM3X-5.0 compatible with LM4040BIM3-5.0?

Yes, the LM4040BIM3X-5.0 and LM4040BIM3-5.0 are electrically identical — same 5 V fixed output, same ±0.2% tolerance, same SOT-23-3 package. The X suffix indicates Tape & Reel packaging; the non-X variant typically ships in bulk or tube. They are drop-in replacements for each other.

What is the recommended replacement for LM4040BIM3X-5.0?

Texas Instruments has not published an official successor for this part. A pin-compatible alternative is the LM4040BIM3-5.0 (same specs, different packaging option). For a newer shunt reference with similar or better performance, consider the LM4040CIM3-5.0 (higher initial accuracy grade) or the REF3030 series if a series topology is acceptable.
