Application Information

The LM4041Q comes in two variants:



LM4041_Q with fixed 1.225V output



LM4041DADJQ with variable output voltage.

In a conventional shunt reference (2-terminal, fixed output device) application (Figure 1), an external

LM4041Q even when the supply voltage is at its minimum and the load current is at its maximum value.

the current flowing through the LM4041Q is less than 12 mA.

For the adjustable device 3-terminals are used

The LM4041Q-ADJ’s output voltage can be adjusted to any value in the range of 1.24V through 10V. The

output voltage is set by the ratio of two external feedback resistors as shown in Figure 2 and the internal

Printed Circuit Board Layout Considerations

LM4041Q with fixed output voltage in the SOT23 package has the die attached to pin 3, which results in an electrical contact between pin 2 and

pin 3.

Therefore, pin 3 of the SOT23 package must be left floating or connected to pin 2.
