Product details
Overview
MAX6029ESA41+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision series-mode voltage reference IC delivering 4.096V output with ±0.15% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and ultra-low 8.75µA (max) supply current. It operates from 4.3V to 12.6V input, sources up to 4mA, sinks up to 1mA, and maintains stability with capacitive loads up to 10µF-ideal for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6029ESA41+ datasheet, MAX6029ESA41+ pinout, MAX6029ESA41+ application, or MAX6029ESA41+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SO-8 package layout, thermal hysteresis (140ppm), long-term stability (150ppm/1000h), and design-meaningful comparisons against alternative references for battery-powered precision systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6029ESA41+ uses a bandgap-based series architecture with internal compensation, eliminating external capacitors while ensuring stability across 0–10µF load capacitance when sourcing and up to 0.4µF when sinking. Its low 200mV dropout enables operation near battery end-of-life in 4.5V nominal systems.
Designed for high-accuracy data conversion, it achieves 72µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) and 210µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) noise performance at 4.096V output, with 36dB ripple rejection at 120Hz-critical for maintaining SNR in 12-bit to 16-bit ADC applications over -40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.15% at +25°C - ensures ≤1 LSB error in 12-bit systems over full temp range |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤30ppm/°C - limits drift to <±1.2mV across -40°C to +85°C ambient |
| Supply Current | 8.75µA max - extends coin-cell life beyond 10 years in always-on sensor nodes |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV at 4mA load - supports operation down to 4.296V input, compatible with single Li-ion cells |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 72µVP-P - contributes <0.017 LSB peak-to-peak error in 16-bit 4.096V full-scale ADCs |
| Load Regulation | 2.5–8.5µV/µA - maintains output stability under dynamic load shifts typical in multiplexed sensor front-ends |
| Long-Term Stability | 150ppm/1000h - guarantees <±0.62mV output shift after 42 days of continuous operation |
Pinout & Package
MAX6029ESA41+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (small-outline) package with 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, and rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. Pin 1 is marked with a beveled corner or dot; pins 3, 5, 7, and 8 are no-connect (N.C.) and must remain unconnected or grounded per design guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 1 | IN | Positive supply input - accepts 4.3V to 12.6V; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic if transient immunity required |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - must connect to clean system ground plane with low-impedance path |
| 3 | N.C. | No connection - leave floating or tie to GND; no internal circuitry attached |
| 4 | OUT | Precision 4.096V reference output - drives ADC VREF, DAC REF, or comparator thresholds |
| 5 | N.C. | No connection - leave floating or tie to GND; no internal circuitry attached |
| 6 | N.C. | No connection - leave floating or tie to GND; no internal circuitry attached |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3440BRMZ | 4.096V output, 10ppm/°C max TCVOUT, 4.5µA supply current, but requires 1µF output capacitor for stability | Better tempco suits lab-grade instruments; higher quiescent current limits ultra-low-power use | Select ADR3440BRMZ only when <10ppm/°C drift is mandatory and board space permits external capacitor |
| REF3040AIDBZR | 4.096V output, 50ppm/°C max TCVOUT, 50µA supply current, SOT23-3 package, no internal compensation | Higher power and drift suit cost-sensitive industrial controls where 12-bit accuracy suffices | Choose REF3040AIDBZR for high-volume production where 50ppm/°C and 50µA are acceptable trade-offs for lower unit cost |
Compared with ADR3440BRMZ and REF3040AIDBZR, MAX6029ESA41+ uniquely balances ultra-low 8.75µA supply current, 30ppm/°C tempco, and capacitor-free operation-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-critical 12–16-bit measurement systems requiring guaranteed stability without layout overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current the MAX6029ESA41+ can source and sink?
The MAX6029ESA41+ can source up to 4mA and sink up to 1mA of load current while maintaining specified accuracy and stability. This capability supports direct driving of ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and low-power comparators without external buffers. Exceeding these limits may increase dropout voltage or degrade regulation performance in the MAX6029ESA41+.
Does the MAX6029ESA41+ require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6029ESA41+ does not require an external output capacitor for stability due to its internally compensated architecture. It remains stable with capacitive loads from 0 to 10µF when sourcing current and up to 0.4µF when sinking current. Adding an output capacitor may improve transient response in step-load applications but is optional for basic operation of the MAX6029ESA41+.
What is the dropout voltage specification for the MAX6029ESA41+ at full load?
The dropout voltage for the MAX6029ESA41+ is 200mV maximum at 4mA output source current. This means the device maintains regulation as long as the input voltage remains at least 4.296V (4.096V + 0.200V) - enabling reliable operation from partially discharged single-cell Li-ion batteries or noisy 5V rails. Dropout is measured as the minimum VIN–VOUT differential yielding 0.1% output deviation in the MAX6029ESA41+.
How does the MAX6029ESA41+ perform in terms of output voltage noise?
The MAX6029ESA41+ delivers 72µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) and 210µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) output voltage noise at its 4.096V output. This low noise floor ensures minimal contribution to total system noise in high-resolution data acquisition-equivalent to <0.017 LSBP-P in a 16-bit ADC with 4.096V full-scale range. These values are measured under standard test conditions and apply directly to the MAX6029ESA41+.
Is the MAX6029ESA41+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6029 family?
Yes, the MAX6029ESA41+ shares identical pinout and package (8-pin SO) with all other MAX6029ESA-x variants (e.g., MAX6029ESA25+, MAX6029ESA50+). Output voltage is the only functional difference between these parts; all share the same IN, GND, OUT, and N.C. pin assignments, allowing drop-in replacement within the same voltage grade group without PCB modification for the MAX6029ESA41+.
