■
■
For applications in tight quarters, the TCN4040 precision voltage reference is available in a space-saving
3mm x 1.3mm SOT-23B-3 surface mount package. The
TCN4040 eliminates the need for an external stabilizing
capacitor while maintaining stability with any capacitive
load. The minimum operating current is 60µA. The maximum operating current is 15mA.
To ensure that the prime parts have an accuracy of
better than ±0.5% (C grade) at 25°C, the TCN4040 uses
fuse and zener-zap reverse breakdown voltage trim during
wafer sort. Low dynamic impedance and bandgap reference
temperature drift curvature correction maintain stable reverse breakdown voltage accuracy over a wide range of
operating temperatures (– 40°C to + 85°C) and currents
from (60µA to 15mA).
The TCN4040 also is available in both adjustable and
1.2V versions.

NOTES: 1. Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which
the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see Electrical
Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when
the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
2. The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX (maximum junction temperature), θJA
(junction to ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is
PDMAX = (TJMAX – TA) /θJA or the number given in Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the TCN4040, TJMAX = 125°C, and
the typical thermal resistance (θJA), when board mounted, is 185°C/W for the M package, 326°C/W for the SOT-23B-3 package, and 180°
C/W with 0.4” lead length and 170°C/W with 0.125” lead length for the TO-92-3 package.
3. The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor
discharged directly into each pin.
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
Boldface type specifications apply for TA = TJ = TMIN to TMAX. All other specifications; TA = TJ = 25°C.

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION

SHUNT VOLTAGE REFERENCE
TCN4040
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
RS is determined by the supply voltage, (VS), the load
and operating current, (IL and IQ), and the TCN4040’s
reverse breakdown voltage, VR.
Available in a space saving SOT-23B-3 surface mount
package, the TCN4040 is a precision micro-power curvature-corrected bandgap shunt voltage reference. The
TCN4040 is designed for stable operation without an external capacitor connected between the “+” pin and the “–” pin.
The TCN4040 also remains stable, however, if a bypass
capacitor is used. The minimum operating current increase
is 60mA and the maximum operating current is 15mA.
The TCN4040, in the SOT-23B-3 package has a parasitic Schottky diode between pin 3 (–) and pin 1. (Die attach
interface contact). Therefore, pin 1 of the SOT-23B-3 package must be left floating or connected to pin 3.
In a conventional shunt regulator application, an external series resistor (RS) is connected between the supply
voltage and the TCN4040 (Figure 1). RS determines the
current that flows through the load (IL) and the TCN4040
(IQ). Even when the supply voltage is at its minimum, and
the load current is at its maximum value, RS should be small
enough to supply at least the minimum acceptable IQ to the
TCN4040 since load current and supply voltage may vary.
Conversely, when the supply voltage is at its maximum and
IL is at its minimum, RS should be large enough that the
current flowing through the TCN4040 is less than 15mA.

For applications in tight quarters, the TCN4041 precision voltage reference is available in a space-saving
3mm x 1.3mm SOT-23B-3 surface mount package. The
TCN4041 eliminates the need for an external stabilizing
capacitor while maintaining stability with any capacitive
load. The minimum operating current is for both the TCN40411.2V and the TCN4041-ADJ. Both versions have a maximum operating current of 12mA.
To ensure that the prime parts have an accuracy of
better than ±0.5% (C grade) at 25°C, the TCN4041 uses
fuse and zener-zap reverse breakdown voltage trim during
wafer sort. Low dynamic impedance and bandgap reference
temperature drift curvature correction maintain stable reverse breakdown voltage accuracy over a wide range of
operating temperatures (– 40°C to + 85°C) and currents
from (60µA to 12mA).
The TCN4041 is available in small SOT-23, TO-92, and

NOTES: 4. Typicals are at TJ = 25°C and represent most likely parametric norm.
5. Limits are 100% production tested at 25°C.
6. The boldface (over-temperature) limit for Reverse Breakdown Voltage Tolerance is defined as the room temperature Reverse Breakdown
Voltage Tolerance ±[(∆VR/∆T)(65°C)(VR)]. ∆VR/∆T is the VR temperature coefficient, 65°C is the temperature range from – 40°C to the
reference point of 25°C, and VR is the reverse breakdown voltage. The total over-temperature tolerance for the different grades is shown
below:
C-grade: ±1.15% = ±0.5% ±100ppm/°C x 65°C
D-grade: ±1.98% = ±1.0% ±150ppm/°C x 65°C
E-grade: ±2.98% = ±2.0% ±150ppm/°C x 65°C
7. When VOUT ≤ 1.6V, the TCN4041-ADJ in the SOT-23B package must operate at reduced IR. This is caused by the series resistance of the
die attach between the die (-) output and the package (-) output pin. See the Output Saturation (SOT23-B only) curve in the Typical
Characteristics section.
8. Reference voltage and temperature coefficient will change with output voltage. See Typical Characteristics curves.

Output voltage on the TCN4041-ADJ can be adjusted to
any value between 1.24V and 10V. It is a function of the
internal reference voltage (VREF) and the ratio of the external
feedback resistors (see Figure 2). The output can be found
with the equation (where VOUT is the desired output voltage):
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Available in space-saving SOT-23B-3 surface
mount packages, the TCN4041 is a precision micro-power
curvature-corrected bandgap shunt voltage reference. It is
designed for stable operation without an external capacitor
connected between the “+” pin and the “-” pin. The TCN4041
also remains stable, however, if a bypass capacitor is used.
The device is available in either a fixed 1.2V or an adjustable
reverse breakdown voltage. The minimum operating current is 60mA, and the maximum operating current is 12mA
for both options.
TCN4041s in the SOT-23 package have pin 1
connected as the (-) output. (Die attach interface contact).
Therefore, pin 1 of the TCN4041-1.2 must be left floating or
connected to pin 3, and pin 1 on the TCN4041-ADJ is the
(-) output.
In a conventional shunt regulator application, an
external series resistor (RS) is connected between the
supply voltage and the TCN4041 (Figure 1). RS determines
the current that flows through the load (IL) and the TCN4041
(IQ). Even when the supply voltage is at its minimum, and
the load current is at its maximum value, RS should be small
enough to supply at least the minimum acceptable IQ to the
TCN4041 since load current and supply voltage may vary.
Conversely, when the supply voltage is at its maximum and
IL is at its minimum, RS should be large enough that the
current flowing through the TCN4041 is less than 12mA.
RS is determined by the supply voltage, (VS), the
load and operating current, (IL and IQ), and the TCN4041’s
reverse breakdown voltage, VR.
VOUT = VREF (R2/R1 + 1)
Equation 1.
The value of the internal VREF is a function of VO. The
“corrected” VREF can be determined by (where VO is the
desired output voltage):
VREF’ = VOUT ∆VREF/∆VOUT) +VY
Equation 2.
∆VREF/∆VOUT is typically -1.3mV/V, and VY = 1.240V.
Replace the value of VREF’ in Equation 1 with the value
determined using Equation 2.
The actual output voltage can deviate from that predicted by the typical ∆VREF/∆VO in Equation 2. The worst
case ∆VREF/∆VOUT for C-grade parts is – 2.5mV/V and
VY = 1.246V; for D-grade, the worst case is – 3.0mV/V and
VY = 1.248V.
The difference in output voltage resulting from typical
worst case values are shown in the following example: Let
VO = +9V. Using the typical value of ∆VREF/∆VOUT, VREF is
1.228; choosing a value of R1 = 10kΩ, R2 = 63.272kW. The
output voltage, when using worst case ∆VREF/∆VOUT for
C-grade and D-grade parts, is 8.965V and 8.946V, respectively. This could result in errors as large as 0.39% for
C-grade, and 0.59% for D-grade parts. However, resistor
values resulting from the typical value of ∆VREF/∆VOUT will
work most of the time, requiring no additional adjustments.
