APPLICATION INFORMATION

THEORY OF OPERATION

The LM4030 is an ultra-high precision shunt voltage reference, having exceptionally high initial accuracy (0.05%)

and temperature stability (10ppm/°C). The LM4030 is available with fixed voltage options of 2.5V and 4.096V.

Despite the tiny SOT-23 package, the LM4030 exhibits excellent thermal hysteresis (75ppm) and long-term

stability (25ppm). The LM4030 is designed to operate without an external capacitor, but any capacitor up to 10

µF may be used. The LM4030 can be powered off as little as 120 µA (max) but is capable of shunting up to 30

mA continuously. The typical application circuit for the LM4030 is shown in Figure 21.

μF. The use of a bypass capacitor can improve transient response and reduce broadband

noise. Additionally, a bypass capacitor will counter the rising reverse dynamic impedance at higher frequencies

improving noise immunity (see Figure 23).
