7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The LM4140 device is a high-precision series voltage reference available in 5 difference output voltage options, including the 1.024-V option below the bandgap voltage. The series reference can operate with input voltage as low as VREF + 400 mV over temperature, consuming 400 µA or less over temperature depending on voltage option. While in shutdown, the device consumes 10 nA (typical).

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 ON/OFF Operation

The LM4140 is designed to quickly reduce both VREF and IQ to zero when turned off. VREF is restored in less than 200 µs when turned on. During the turnoff, the charge across the output capacitor is discharged to ground through internal circuitry.

The LM4140 is turned off by pulling the enable input low, and turned on by driving the input high. If this feature is not to be used, the enable pin must be tied to the VIN to keep the reference on at all times (the enable pin must not be left floating).

To ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the enable pin must be able to swing above and below the specified high and low voltage thresholds which ensure an ON or OFF state (see Electrical Characteristics).

The ON/OFF signal may come from either a totem-pole output, or an open-collector output with pullup resistor to the LM4140 input voltage. This high-level voltage may exceed the LM4140 input voltage, but must remain within the absolute maximum rating for the enable pin.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
