Fixed 2.048 V shunt reference in SOT-23-3
The Texas Instruments LM4040C20QDBZTG4 is a precision shunt voltage reference delivering a fixed 2.048 V output with ±0.5% initial tolerance. It operates as a two-terminal shunt device, requiring only a single external resistor to set the bias current, making it a simple drop-in for precision bias or ADC reference applications. The SOT-23-3 package (TO-236-3 / SC-59 compatible) occupies minimal board area and is suited for space-constrained designs in industrial control, instrumentation, and portable equipment.
±0.5% tolerance and 35 µVrms noise floor
Initial tolerance of ±0.5% sets the system accuracy baseline — for a 2.048 V reference, the output stays within 2.037 V to 2.059 V at 25°C. This grade suits 10- to 12-bit ADC references where the reference error is a fraction of the LSB.
Active production, sourced to order
The base product number is LM4040; the full suffix encodes the voltage option (20 = 2.048 V), tolerance grade (C = ±0.5%), and package/reel variant.
