3 V shunt reference in SC-70-5 — precision for tight boards
The Texas Instruments LM4040BIM7-3.0/NOPB is a precision shunt voltage reference that delivers a fixed 3 V output with a ±0.2% initial tolerance. The shunt topology means it operates like a precision Zener diode — the 15 mA output current and 67 µA cathode current let you set the bias resistor for the load without a separate supply rail.
Noise floor and drift — the analog designer's concern
For a panel-mount PLC analog input or a battery-monitoring comparator, that drift budget is tight enough to avoid a software calibration routine.
