LM4132
SOT-23 Precision Low Dropout Voltage Reference
General Description
The LM4132 family of precision voltage references performs
comparable to the best laser-trimmed bipolar references, but
in cost effective CMOS technology. The key to this break
through is the use of EEPROM registers for correction of
curvature, tempco, and accuracy on a CMOS bandgap ar-
chitecture that allows package level programming to over-
come assembly shift. The shifts in voltage accuracy and
tempco during assembly of die into plastic packages limit the
accuracy of references trimmed with laser techniques.
Unlike other LDO references, the LM4132 is capable of
delivering up to 20mA and does not require an output ca-
pacitor or buffer amplifier. These advantages and the SOT23
packaging are important for space-critical applications.
Series references provide lower power consumption than
shunt references, since they do not have to idle the maxi-
mum possible load current under no load conditions. This
advantage, the low quiescent current (60µA), and the low
dropout voltage (400mV) make the LM4132 ideal for battery-
powered solutions.
The LM4132 is available in five grades (A, B, C, D and E) for
greater flexibility. The best grade devices (A) have an initial
accuracy of 0.05% with guaranteed temperature coefficient
of 10ppm/˚C or less, while the lowest grade parts (E) have
an initial accuracy of 0.5% and a tempco of 30ppm/˚C.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage may occur to the device. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications, see Electrical Characteristics.
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
=(T
JMAX -T
A)/θJ-A up to the value listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings. θJ-A for SOT23-5 package is 220˚C/W, TJMAX = 125˚C.
Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kresistor into each pin.
Note 4: Limits are 100% production tested at 25˚C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality Control.
Note 5: Typical numbers are at 25˚C and represent the most likely parametric norm.
Note 6: Temperature coefficient is measured by the "Box" method; i.e., the maximum VREF is divided by the maximum T.
Note 7: Long term stability is VREF @25˚C measured during 1000 hrs.
Note 8: Thermal hysteresis is defined as the change in +25˚C output voltage before and after cycling the device from (-40˚C to 125˚C).
Note 9: Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output differential at which the output voltage drops by 0.5% below the value measured with a 5V input.

Application Information
THEORY OF OPERATION
The foundation of any voltage reference is the band-gap
circuit. While the reference in the LM4132 is developed from
the gate-source voltage of transistors in the IC, principles of
the band-gap circuit are easily understood using a bipolar
example. For a detailed analysis of the bipolar band-gap
circuit, please refer to Application Note AN-56.
SUPPLY AND ENABLE VOLTAGES
To ensure proper operation, V
EN
and V
IN
must be within a
specified range. An acceptable range of input voltages is
V
IN
>V
REF
+ 400mV (I
LOAD
10mA)
The enable pin uses an internal pull-up current source (I
P-
ULL_UP
)2µA) that may be left floating or triggered by an
external source. If the part is not enabled by an external
source, it may be connected to V
IN
. An acceptable range of
enable voltages is given by the enable transfer characteris-
tics. See the Electrical Characteristics section and Enable
Transfer Characteristics figure for more detail. Note, the part
will not operate correctly for V
EN
>V
IN
.
COMPONENT SELECTION
A small ceramic (X5R or X7R) capacitor on the input must be
used to ensure stable operation. The value of C
IN
must be
sized according to the output capacitor value. The value of
C
IN
must satisfy the relationship C
IN
C
OUT
. When no output
capacitor is used, C
IN
must have a minimum value of 0.1µF.
Noise on the power-supply input may affect the output noise.
Larger input capacitor values (typically 4.7µF to 22µF) may
help reduce noise on the output and significantly reduce
overshoot during startup. Use of an additional optional by-
pass capacitor between the input and ground may help
further reduce noise on the output. With an input capacitor,
the LM4132 will drive any combination of resistance and
capacitance up to V
REF
/20mA and 10µF respectively.
The LM4132 is designed to operate with or without an output
capacitor and is stable with capacitive loads up to 10µF.
Connecting a capacitor between the output and ground will
significantly improve the load transient response when
switching from a light load to a heavy load. The output
capacitor should not be made arbitrarily large because it will
effect the turn-on time as well as line and load transients.
While a variety of capacitor chemistry types may be used, it
is typically advisable to use low esr ceramic capacitors. Such
capacitors provide a low impedance to high frequency sig-
nals, effectively bypassing them to ground. Bypass capaci-
tors should be mounted close to the part. Mounting bypass
capacitors close to the part will help reduce the parasitic
trace components thereby improving performance.
SHORT CIRCUITED OUTPUT
The LM4132 features indefinite short circuit protection. This
protection limits the output current to 75mA when the output
is shorted to ground.
TURN ON TIME
Turn on time is defined as the time taken for the output
voltage to rise to 90% of the preset value. The turn on time
depends on the load. The turn on time is typically 33.2µs
when driving a 1µF load and 78.8µs when driving a 10µF
load. Some users may experience an extended turn on time
(up to 10ms) under brown out conditions and low tempera-
tures (-40˚C).
THERMAL HYSTERESIS
Thermal hysteresis is defined as the change in output volt-
age at 25oC after some deviation from 25oC. This is to say
that thermal hysteresis is the difference in output voltage
between two points in a given temperature profile. An illus-
trative temperature profile is shown in Figure 1.
This may be expressed analytically as the following:

HYS
= Thermal hysteresis expressed in ppm
V
REF

V
REF2

after temperature fluctuation.
The LM4132 features a low thermal hysteresis of 75 ppm
(typical) from -40˚C to 125˚C after 8 temperature cycles.
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
Temperature drift is defined as the maximum deviation in
output voltage over the operating temperature range. This
deviation over temperature may be illustrated as shown in
Figure 2.
Temperature coefficient may be expressed analytically as
the following:

The LM4132 features a low temperature drift of 10ppm
(max) to 30ppm (max), depending on the grade.
LONG TERM STABILITY
Long-term stability refers to the fluctuation in output voltage
over a long period of time (1000 hours). The LM4132 fea-
tures a typical long-term stability of 50ppm over 1000 hours.
The measurements are made using 5 units of each voltage
option, at a nominal input voltage (5V), with no load, at room
temperature.
EXPRESSION OF ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Electrical characteristics are typically expressed in mV, ppm,
or a percentage of the nominal value. Depending on the
application, one expression may be more useful than the
other. To convert one quantity to the other one may apply the
following:
ppm to mV error in output voltage:
Where:
V
REF
is in volts (V) and V
ERROR
is in milli-volts (mV).
Bit error (1 bit) to voltage error (mV):
V
REF
is in volts (V), V
ERROR
is in milli-volts (mV), and n is the
number of bits.
mV to ppm error in output voltage:
Where:
V
REF
is in volts (V) and V
ERROR
is in milli-volts (mV).
Voltage error (mV) to percentage error (percent):
Where:
V
REF
is in volts (V) and V
ERROR
is in milli-volts (mV).
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD and LAYOUT
CONSIDERATIONS
References in SOT packages are generally less prone to PC
board mounting than devices in Small Outline (SOIC) pack-
ages. To minimize the mechanical stress due to PC board
mounting that can cause the output voltage to shift from its
initial value, mount the reference on a low flex area of the PC
board, such as near the edge or a corner.
The part may be isolated mechanically by cutting a U shape
slot on the PCB for mounting the device. This approach also
provides some thermal isolation from the rest of the circuit.
Bypass capacitors must be mounted close to the part.
Mounting bypass capacitors close to the part will reduce the
parasitic trace components thereby improving performance.
