Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for LM4140, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For power IC and power device sourcing, voltage rating, current rating, power dissipation, package thermal performance, protection features, qualification grade and application conditions should be reviewed before approval.

FAQ

What output voltage options are specified for LM4140?

The LM4140 standard output voltage options are 1.024 V, 1.25 V, 2.048 V, 2.5 V, and 4.096 V. Texas Instruments also identifies custom output voltage options from 0.5 V to 4.5 V by contact request.

What capacitor is required on the LM4140 output?

A 1 µF capacitor is required between the output pin and ground for proper operation. The extracted facts identify this requirement specifically for the output pin and GND connection.

How should the LM4140 enable pin be connected?

The enable pin is pulled to input for normal operation, and forcing it to ground turns off the output. If the enable function is unused, the pin must be tied to VIN and must not be left floating.

What package and pin assignments are listed for LM4140?

The LM4140 is listed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with a 4.90 mm x 3.91 mm body. VIN is pin 2, VREF is pin 6, grounds are pins 1, 4, 7, and 8, and pin 5 is NC.
