Overview
The LM4132AMF-2.5/NOPB, produced by Texas Instruments, is a precision low dropout voltage reference in a SOT-23 package. This device is part of the LM4132 family, which offers performance comparable to the best laser-trimmed bipolar references but in cost-effective CMOS technology. The LM4132 uses EEPROM registers to correct for curvature, temperature coefficient, and accuracy, allowing for package-level programming to overcome assembly shifts. This makes it highly accurate and stable across various operating conditions.
The LM4132AMF-2.5/NOPB is particularly suited for space-critical applications due to its compact SOT-23 packaging and does not require an output capacitor or buffer amplifier, making it ideal for battery-powered solutions.
