2.5 V shunt reference with ±1% initial accuracy
The shunt architecture allows the reference to sink or source current through an external resistor, with a maximum output current of 15 mA and a cathode current of 80 µA.
Housed in a SOT-23-3 package (also known as TO-236-3 or SC-59), this part uses a standard three-pin footprint. The small body saves board area in space-constrained designs like sensor modules or portable instrumentation.
The base product number LM4040 covers a wide family of voltage options and tolerance grades, so a pin-compatible drop-in for a different output voltage or tighter accuracy is a straightforward BOM adjustment within the same footprint.
