The minimum operating current ranges from 60µA for the LM4041-1.2 to 74µA for the LM4040-5.0. LM4040 versions have a maximum operating current of 15mA. LM4041 versions have a maximum operating current of 12mA. The LM4040 and LM4041 have bandgap reference temperature drift curvature correction and low dynamic impedance, ensuring stable reverse breakdown voltage accuracy over a wide range of operating temperatures and currents.

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 specification and test conditions, see the “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. Note 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 the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM4040 and LM4041, TJMAX = 125°C, and the typical thermal resistance (θJA), when board mounted, is 326°C/W for the SOT-23 package. Note 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.

Note 8. When VOUT ≤ 1.6V, the LM4041-ADJ 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.

Large Signal Response Test Circuit 12 March 2005 LM4040/4041 Micrel, Inc. Applications Information Adjustable Regulator The LM4041-ADJ’s output voltage can be adjusted to any value in the range of 1.24V through 10V. It is a function of the internal reference voltage (VREF) and the ratio of the external feedback resistors as shown in Figure 2. The output is found using the equation: (1) VO = VREF [ (R2/R1) + 1 ] where VO is the desired output voltage. The actual value of the internal VREF is a function of VO. The “corrected” VREF is determined by: (2) VREF´ = VO (ΔVREF / ΔVO) + VY where VO is the desired output voltage. ΔVREF / ΔVO is found in the “Electrical Characteristics” and is typically –1.3mV/V and VY is equal to 1.233V. Replace the value of VREF in equation (1) with the value VREF found using equation (2). Note that actual output voltage can deviate from that predicted using the typical ΔVREF / ΔVO in equation (2); for Cgrade parts, the worst-case ΔVREF / ΔVO is –2.5mV/V and VY = 1.248V. The following example shows the difference in output voltage resulting from the typical and worst case values of ΔVREF / ΔVO. Let VO = +9V. Using the typical values of ΔVREF /ΔVO , VREF is 1.223V. Choosing a value of R1 = 10kΩ, R2 = 63.272kΩ. Using the worst case ΔVREF / ΔVO for the C-grade and Dgrade parts, the output voltage is actually 8.965V and 8.946V respectively. This results in possible errors as large as 0.39% for the C-grade parts and 0.59% for the D-grade parts. Once again, resistor values found using the typical value of ΔVREF / ΔVO will work in most cases, requiring no further adjustment. The stable operation of the LM4040 and LM4041 references requires an external capacitor greater than 10nF connected between the (+) and (–) pins. Bypass capacitors with values between 100pF and 10nF have been found to cause the devices to exhibit instabilities. Schottky Diode LM4040-x.x and LM4041-1.2 in the SOT-23 package have a parasitic Schottky diode between pin 2 (–) and pin 3 (die attach interface connect). Pin 3 of the SOT-23 package must float or be connected to pin 2. LM4041-ADJs use pin 3 as the (–) output. Conventional Shunt Regulator In a conventional shunt regulator application (see Figure 1), an external series resistor (RS) is connected between the supply voltage and the LM4040-x.x or LM4041-1.2 reference. RS determines the current that flows through the load (IL) and the reference (IQ). Since load current and supply voltage may vary, RS should be small enough to supply at least the minimum acceptable IQ to the reference even when the supply voltage is at its minimum and the load current is at its maximum value. When the supply voltage is at its maximum and IL is at its minimum, RS should be large enough so that the current flowing through the LM4040-x.x is less than 15mA, and the current flowing through the LM4041-1.2 or LM4041-ADJ is less than 12mA. RS is determined by the supply voltage (VS), the load and operating current, (IL and IQ), and the reference’s reverse breakdown voltage (VR): Rs = (Vs – VR) / (IL + IQ) Typical Application Circuits R1 + FB 120k LM4041-ADJ D1 – λ D1 R2 1M FB LM4041– ADJ λ R1 120k R2 1M > –12V R3 LED ON 330 < –12V R3 LED ON 200 –5V –5V Figure 3.
