LM4050CIM Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Voltage References.
LM4050CIM is a Texas Instruments order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 5 variants that share the same core device but differ in suffix fields (package, grade, reel/tube, electrical bin, etc.). Pick the exact full part number; substituting within the family without checking the datasheet often causes assembly or spec mismatches.
Package: SOT-23 | Output Voltage: 4.096V | Output Current: 15mA | Max Output Current: 15mA | Max Operating Temp: 125°C | Min Operating Temp: -40°C Other listed variants describe: 50-ppm/°C precision micropower shunt voltage reference 3-SOT-23 -40 to 85; 4.1V Shunt Voltage Reference, 15mA, SOT-23, 50ppm/°C.
Across listed variants, watch these parameters: packages: SOT-23, TO-236-3, SC-59, SOT-23-3.
Suffix examples in this family: 3X-4.1/NOPB, 3-10/NOPB, 3-4.1/NOPB, 3X-5.0/NOPB, 3X-2.0/NOPB. The characters after the base number usually encode package, temperature, or performance grade — compare the variant table column-by-column rather than assuming pin-compatible drops-in.
Columns that actually vary on this page: Package Type. If two rows match on MPN prefix but differ there, they are not interchangeable for production.
Example MPNs: LM4050CIM3X-4.1/NOPB, LM4050CIM3-10/NOPB, LM4050CIM3-4.1/NOPB, LM4050CIM3X-5.0/NOPB, LM4050CIM3X-2.0/NOPB.
Key Features
- Footprint / package: SOT-23, TO-236-3, SC-59, SOT-23-3Land pattern and thermal pad differ between these packages — run a quick footprint check before you swap variants.
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 5 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 3X-4.1/NOPB, 3-10/NOPB, 3-4.1/NOPB, 3X-5.0/NOPB, 3X-2.0/NOPB. Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Voltage References — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained

Ordering Code Differences
How suffixes on LM4050CIM map to package, grade, and reel options.
LM4050CIM uses a shared prefix; characters after the prefix encode orderable options. Two lines with the same prefix are not drop-in replacements unless the differing columns match your need.
Suffixes seen here: 3X-4.1/NOPB, 3-10/NOPB, 3-4.1/NOPB, 3X-5.0/NOPB, 3X-2.0/NOPB.
What changes between rows: Package Type. Sort the table by these columns when narrowing from base number to a single MPN.
Full MPN examples: LM4050CIM3X-4.1/NOPB, LM4050CIM3-10/NOPB, LM4050CIM3-4.1/NOPB, LM4050CIM3X-5.0/NOPB, LM4050CIM3X-2.0/NOPB.
Tip: photograph or copy the reel label — reel diameter, QTY per reel, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are often suffix-driven and won't show in the schematic.
How to Choose the Right LM4050CIM Voltage References
Match the footprint first
Packages here: SOT-23, TO-236-3, SC-59, SOT-23-3. Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For LM4050CIM, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "LM4050CIM" — include the full suffix (e.g. 3X-4.1/NOPB, 3-10/NOPB, 3-4.1/NOPB). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
