Product details
Overview
MAX6008BEUR+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 2.5V two-terminal shunt voltage reference in a 3-pin SOT23 package, featuring 0.5% initial accuracy, 75ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and guaranteed operation down to 0.5µA. It serves as a low-power, space-constrained voltage reference for battery-powered instrumentation and high-resolution data converters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6008BEUR+T datasheet, MAX6008BEUR+T pinout, MAX6008BEUR+T application, or MAX6008BEUR+T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low operating current (<1µA), SOT23 footprint compatibility, ±2.5V reference stability across -40°C to +85°C, and direct replacement capability for legacy shunt references like LM4040B25.
Technical Context
The MAX6008BEUR+T implements a laser-trimmed series bandgap core with on-chip thin-film resistors, delivering stable 2.5V output under reverse-biased two-terminal operation. Its design supports bias currents from 0.5µA to 2mA while maintaining <0.2% VR drift over that range.
It requires external bypassing with ≥0.01µF capacitor from OUT to GND and operates with no internal ground connection-GND pin is used solely for thermal and mechanical reference. The IC pin is an internally connected test point and must remain unconnected or tied to GND.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.5% at 1.2µA, enabling precise ADC/DAC reference scaling |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.5% (Grade B), specifying worst-case deviation at +25°C before calibration |
| Temp Coefficient | 75ppm/°C max over -40°C to +85°C, limiting full-range drift to ±0.15% |
| Min Operating Current | 0.5µA, allowing use in nanoamp-level power budgets without dropout |
| Reverse Dynamic Impedance | 2Ω (1.2µA–2mA), ensuring stable regulation under dynamic load transients |
| Low-Frequency Noise | 60µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz), minimizing noise contribution in precision measurement front-ends |
| Long-Term Drift | 150ppm over 1000h, defining baseline aging impact on system calibration intervals |
Pinout & Package
MAX6008BEUR+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0051), measuring 2.1mm × 2.7mm × 1.1mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT | Reference Output Terminal | Bias with external pull-up resistor; must be bypassed to GND with ≥0.01µF capacitor for stability |
| GND | Ground Reference Terminal | Provides mechanical and thermal reference; not electrically connected to internal circuitry |
| IC | Internal Test Point | Internally connected but unused; leave floating or tie to GND-no signal function |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040B25IDBZR | 0.2% initial accuracy, 100ppm/°C TC, 60µA min operating current | Higher quiescent current limits use in sub-µA systems; wider tempco increases full-range error | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs ultra-low-power requirement and tighter TC is not critical |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C TC, 100µA min operating current, 5-pin SOT23 | Requires GND connection and higher bias current; superior TC but incompatible pinout and power envelope | Select when highest stability is mandatory and board layout allows 5-pin footprint and higher current budget |
Compared with LM4040B25IDBZR and ADR3425ARJZ-R7, the MAX6008BEUR+T uniquely balances ultra-low current (0.5µA), SOT23-3 compatibility, and 2.5V precision-making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained designs where neither legacy nor premium alternatives meet all three constraints simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum operating current for MAX6008BEUR+T?
The MAX6008BEUR+T guarantees stable 2.5V regulation with a minimum operating current of 0.5µA-verified across -40°C to +85°C. This value ensures the device remains in regulation even under extreme low-power conditions, such as those found in energy-harvesting sensor nodes or decades-long battery deployments. The MAX6008BEUR+T maintains <0.2% output voltage change relative to its 1.2µA nominal point within this range.
Does MAX6008BEUR+T require an external capacitor, and if so, what value?
Yes, the MAX6008BEUR+T requires a minimum 0.01µF capacitor connected between the OUT and GND pins to ensure stability and reduce noise. This capacitor mitigates transient response overshoot during load or supply step changes and suppresses low-frequency noise-critical for precision measurement applications. Larger values (e.g., 0.1µF) may further improve transient immunity but do not affect DC accuracy. The MAX6008BEUR+T datasheet specifies this as mandatory for all operating conditions.
Can the IC pin on MAX6008BEUR+T be left floating or must it be connected?
The IC pin on MAX6008BEUR+T is an internally connected test point with no functional role in normal operation. It may be left unconnected or tied to GND-neither choice affects electrical performance, regulation accuracy, or thermal behavior. The MAX6008BEUR+T datasheet explicitly states "Leave this pin unconnected, or connect to GND," confirming that no biasing, filtering, or routing is required for this terminal.
How does the temperature coefficient of MAX6008BEUR+T compare to Grade A versions of the same family?
The MAX6008BEUR+T has a maximum temperature coefficient of 75ppm/°C over -40°C to +85°C, whereas the Grade A variant (e.g., MAX6008AEUR+T) is specified at 30ppm/°C. This means the MAX6008BEUR+T contributes up to ±0.15% full-scale output variation across its operating range, versus ±0.06% for Grade A. The difference reflects a trade-off between cost and stability-MAX6008BEUR+T delivers robust performance at lower unit cost where tighter TC is not mission-critical.
Is MAX6008BEUR+T compatible with existing LM4040 footprints?
No, MAX6008BEUR+T is not footprint-compatible with standard LM4040 variants. While both are 3-pin shunt references, the MAX6008BEUR+T uses a SOT23 package with pin 1 = OUT, pin 2 = GND, pin 3 = IC; most LM4040DBZR parts use SOT23-3 with pin 1 = CATHODE, pin 2 = ANODE, pin 3 = NC-different pin functions and internal topology. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign. The MAX6008BEUR+T offers superior low-current performance but is not a drop-in substitute for LM4040 without layout revision.
