LM4121 Precision Micropower Low Dropout Voltage Reference General Description Features (LM4121-1.2) The LM4121 is a precision bandgap voltage reference available in a fixed 1.25V and adjustable version with up to 5 mA current source and sink capability. This series reference operates with input voltages as low as 1.8V and up to 12V consuming 160 µA (Typ.) supply current. In power down mode, device current drops to less than 2 µA. The LM4121 comes in two grades A and Standard. The best grade devices (A) have an initial accuracy of 0.2%, while the standard have an initial accuracy of 0.5%, both with a tempco of 50ppm/˚C guaranteed from −40˚C to +125˚C. The very low operating voltage, low supply current and power-down capability of the LM4121 makes this product an ideal choice for battery powered and portable applications. The device performance is guaranteed over the industrial temperature range (−40˚C to +85˚C), while certain specs are guaranteed over the extended temperature range (−40˚C to +125˚C). Please contact National for full specifications over the extended temperature range. The LM4121 is available in a standard 5-pin SOT-23 package. n n n n n n n n n n LM4121-1.2 Block Diagram Small SOT23-5 package Low voltage operation High output voltage accuracy: 0.2% ± 5 mA Source and Sink current output: Supply current: 160 µA Typ.

Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be 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. Note 2: Without PCB copper enhancements. The maximum power dissipation must be de-rated at elevated temperatures and is limited by TJMAX (maximum junction temperature), θJ-A (junction to ambient thermal resistance) and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum power dissipation at any temperature is: PDissMAX = (TJMAX − TA)/θJ-A up to the value listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings. Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin. Note 4: Typical numbers are at 25˚C and represent the most likely parametric norm. Note 5: Limits are 100% production tested at 25˚C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate National’s Averaging Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL). Note 6: Output noise for 1.25V option. Noise is proportional to VOUT. Note 7: Bias Current flows out of the Adjust pin. Note 8: Thermal hysteresis is defined as the change in +25˚C output voltage before and after exposing the device to temperature extremes. Note 9: Long term stability is change in VREF at 25˚C measured continuously during 1000 hrs. www.national.com 4 Unless otherwise specified, VIN = 3.3V, VOUT = 1.25V, ILOAD = 0, COUT = 0.022µF, TA = 25˚C and VEN = VIN.

DS101291-32 Application Hints The standard application circuit for the LM4121 is shown in Figure 1. The output voltage is set with the two feedback resistors, according to the following formula: VOUT = [Vref(1+ R1/R2] − Ibias • R1 DS101291-43 Values for R1 and R2 should be chosen to be less than 1 MΩ. Ibias typically flows out of the adjust pin. Values for Vref and Ibias are found in the Electrical Characteristics Spec. table. For best accuracy, be sure to take into account the variation of VREF with input voltage, load and output voltage. The LM4121 is designed to be stable with ceramic output capacitors in the range of 0.022µF to 0.047µF. Note that 0.022µF is the minimum required output capacitor. These capacitors typically have an ESR of about 0.1 to 0.5Ω. Smaller ESR can be tolerated, however larger ESR can not. The output capacitor can be increased to improve load transient response, up to about 1µF. However, values above 0.047µF must be tantalum. With tantalum capacitors, in the 1µF range, a small capacitor between the output and the reference (Adj) pin is required. This capacitor will typically be in the 50pF range. Care must be taken when using output capacitors of 1µF or larger. These application must be thoroughly tested over temperature, line and load. Also, when the LM4121 is used as a controller, with external active components, each application must be carefully tested to ensure a stable design. The adjust pin is sensitive to noise and capacitive loading. The trace to this pin must be as short as possible and the feedback resistiors should be close to this pin. Also, a single point ground to the LM4121 will help ensure good accuracy at high load currents. An input capacitor is typically not required. However, a 0.1µF ceramic can be used to help prevent line transients from entering the LM4121. Larger input capacitors should be tantalum or aluminium. The enable pin is an analog input with very little hysteresis. About 6µA into this pin is required to turn the part on, and it must be taken close to GND to turn the part off (see spec. table for thresholds). There is a minimum slew rate on this pin of about 0.003V/µS to prevent glitches on the output. All of these conditions can easily be met with ordinary CMOS or TTL logic. If the shutdown feature is not required, then this pin can safely be connected directly to the input supply. Floating this pin is not recommended. FIGURE 1. Standard Application Circuit Printed Circuit Board Layout Consideration The mechanical stress due to PC board mounting can cause the output voltage to shift from its initial value. References in SOT packages are generally less prone to assembly stress than devices in Small Outline (SOIC) package. To reduce the stress-related output voltage shifts, mount the reference on the low flex areas of the PC board such as near to the edge or the corner of the PC board. 13 www.national.com LM4121 Typical Application Circuits Voltage Reference with Complimentary Output Voltage Reference with Negative Output DS101291-6 Two Terminal Constant Current Source DS101291-3 100mA Quasi-LDO Regulator DS101291-7 Precision Voltage Reference with Force and Sense Output DS101291-4 Boosted Output Current with Negative Voltage Reference DS101291-9 DS101291-5 www.national.com 14 LM4121 Typical Application Circuits Power Supply Splitter (Continued) Programmable Current Source DS101291-20 Li + Low Battery Detector DS101291-10 Precision Comparator with Hysteresis DS101291-44 Flasher Circuit DS101291-11 DS101291-45 15 www.national.com LM4121 Precision Micropower Low Dropout Voltage Reference Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted LIFE SUPPORT POLICY NATIONAL’S PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL OF NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION.
