Product details
Overview
MAX6018BEUR18+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, low-dropout, micropower bandgap voltage reference in a 3-pin SOT23 package. It delivers a stable 1.800V output with ±0.4% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max temperature drift, and operates from (VOUT + 200mV) = 2.0V up to 5.5V input. Its 5μA max supply current and 200mV dropout enable reliable operation in end-of-life two-cell alkaline battery monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6018BEUR18+T datasheet, MAX6018BEUR18+T pinout, MAX6018BEUR18+T application, or MAX6018BEUR18+T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current, supply-voltage-independent IIN variation (0.1μA/V), load regulation ≤800μV/mA, line regulation ≤275μV/V, and guaranteed capacitive-load stability from 0.1nF to 1000nF.
Technical Context
The MAX6018BEUR18+T is a three-terminal series-mode voltage reference using a BiCMOS bandgap core. It sources or sinks up to ±1mA load current while maintaining output stability across –40°C to +85°C, with thermal hysteresis limited to 130ppm and long-term drift of 100ppm over 1000 hours.
Its dynamic behavior includes 200μs turn-on settling time to 0.1%, 85dB ripple rejection at 120Hz, and noise performance of 45μVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz) and 160μVRMS (10Hz–10kHz). The device requires ≥100pF output capacitance for stability and supports loads up to 1μF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.800V ±0.4% (B grade) - precise reference for 1.8V rail sensing and ADC/DAC biasing |
| Supply Current | ≤5μA (max) - enables >10-year battery life in low-power sensor nodes |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤200mV at 1mA load - supports operation down to 2.0V input, ideal for aging alkaline cells |
| Temp Drift | ≤50ppm/°C - ensures <±1.8mV error over full –40°C to +85°C range |
| Line Regulation | ≤275μV/V (2.0V–5.5V) - minimal output shift during battery discharge or supply ripple |
| Load Regulation | ≤800μV/mA (0–1mA sourcing) - maintains accuracy under varying sensor or converter loading |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 45μVp-p - low enough for 16-bit+ data acquisition without external filtering |
Pinout & Package
MAX6018BEUR18+T uses a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23-3 package (outline 21-0051, land pattern 90-0179) with standard pin 1–3 orientation and top mark FZJM.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Supply Voltage Input | Accepts 2.0V–5.5V; requires 0.1μF bypass capacitor to GND for PSRR optimization |
| 2 (OUT) | Reference Voltage Output | Delivers regulated 1.800V; must be bypassed with ≥100pF to GND for stability |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Low-impedance return path; connects directly to system ground plane for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Supply-current independence | IIN varies only 0.1μA/V across input range - eliminates calibration dependency on supply voltage |
| Capacitive-load compatibility | Stable with 0.1nF–1000nF output capacitance - accommodates ceramic, tantalum, or bulk storage caps |
| Low-temperature hysteresis | 130ppm after –40°C/+85°C cycling - preserves calibration integrity in field-deployed equipment |
| Fast turn-on settling | 200μs to 0.1% with 5nF load - enables duty-cycled power management in portable instruments |
| High PSRR | 85dB at 120Hz - rejects AC ripple from switching regulators or noisy battery inputs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision micropower voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3018AIDBZR | 1.8V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C drift, 50μA supply current | Higher supply current limits use in sub-10μA battery systems | Select when tighter initial accuracy is required and higher IQ is acceptable |
| ADR3418ARJZ-R7 | 1.8V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C drift, 6μA supply current, 100mV dropout | Slightly lower dropout but 20% higher supply current and different SOT23 pinout (IN/GND/OUT vs. IN/OUT/GND) | Select for improved drift and accuracy where layout allows pinout adaptation and 1μA extra IQ is tolerable |
Compared with MAX6018BEUR18+T, REF3018AIDBZR trades ultra-low IQ for tighter initial accuracy, while ADR3418ARJZ-R7 improves drift and accuracy at the cost of higher quiescent current and non-pin-compatible pin assignment-requiring PCB redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current the MAX6018BEUR18+T can source or sink?
The MAX6018BEUR18+T can source up to +1mA and sink up to –1mA while maintaining output regulation within specifications. At 1mA sourcing, dropout remains ≤200mV and load regulation is ≤800μV/mA. Sinking capability supports active pull-down in ratiometric sensor circuits or reference buffering stages where bidirectional current flow is required.
Does the MAX6018BEUR18+T require an external resistor like shunt references?
No, the MAX6018BEUR18+T is a three-terminal series-mode reference and does not require an external current-setting resistor. Unlike two-terminal shunt references, it draws a fixed, ultra-low supply current (<5μA) that is virtually independent of input voltage-eliminating resistor tolerance errors and wasted supply current in battery-sensitive designs.
What output capacitance is required for stability with the MAX6018BEUR18+T?
The MAX6018BEUR18+T requires a minimum output capacitance of 100pF to ensure stability and remains stable with capacitive loads up to 1000nF (1μF). Ceramic capacitors are recommended for low ESR; the device's internal compensation eliminates need for series resistance or specialized capacitor types.
How does the supply current of the MAX6018BEUR18+T vary with input voltage?
The MAX6018BEUR18+T exhibits exceptional supply-voltage independence: its quiescent current varies only 0.1μA per volt across the 2.0V–5.5V input range. This means IIN changes by just 0.35μA from 2.0V to 5.5V, enabling predictable power budgeting regardless of battery state or supply ripple.
Is the MAX6018BEUR18+T pin-compatible with other MAX6018 variants?
Yes, all MAX6018 variants-including MAX6018BEUR18+T-share identical 3-pin SOT23-3 packaging, pinout (IN/OUT/GND), and footprint. Only the output voltage (1.2V/1.6V/1.8V/2.048V) and grade (A/B) differ; no PCB changes are needed when substituting within the same voltage option and package code.
