Product details
Overview
MAX6029ESA41+T from Maxim Integrated is a micropower, low-dropout series-mode voltage reference delivering 4.096V output with ±0.15% (max) initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C (max) temperature coefficient, and ultra-low 8.75µA (max) supply current in an 8-pin SO package. It sources up to 4mA and sinks up to 1mA, features 200mV dropout at full load, and operates from 4.3V to 12.6V - ideal for precision ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6029ESA41+T datasheet, MAX6029ESA41+T pinout, MAX6029ESA41+T application, or MAX6029ESA41+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 4.096V output stability over –40°C to +85°C, no external compensation requirement, capacitive load tolerance up to 10µF, and compatibility with 12-bit to 16-bit data converters requiring sub-1LSB reference drift.
Technical Context
The MAX6029ESA41+T uses a bandgap-based series-mode architecture with internal compensation, eliminating need for external capacitors while maintaining stability across 0–10µF output capacitance. Its BiCMOS process enables ultra-low quiescent current (8.75µA max) with only 1.5µA/V supply-voltage sensitivity.
It delivers fixed 4.096V output optimized for 12-bit and 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion, where exact scaling (e.g., 4.096V = 1V per LSB for 12-bit) minimizes code-edge errors. Line regulation is specified at 30–310 µV/V and load regulation at 2.5–8.5 µV/µA over full operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.15% (max) at +25°C - enables exact 1V/LSB scaling for 12-bit systems without gain calibration |
| Tempco | 30ppm/°C (max) - ensures ≤±0.5 LSB drift over –40°C to +85°C in 16-bit applications |
| Supply Current | 8.75µA (max) - extends battery life in multidecade standby operation (e.g., >10 years on CR2032) |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV (max) at 4mA load - supports operation down to VIN = 4.296V, compatible with single Li-ion cells under discharge |
| Load Drive | Sources 4mA / sinks 1mA - directly drives SAR ADC reference inputs and op-amp buffers without external gain stage |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 72µVP-P - contributes <0.018 LSB RMS noise in 16-bit 4.096V full-scale systems |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with 0–10µF (source), 0–0.4µF (sink) - eliminates need for output capacitor in space-constrained PCB layouts |

| 2 | N.C. | No connection - must remain unconnected or tied to ground; no internal function |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference - connect to clean system AGND plane with low-inductance path |
| 4 | N.C. | No connection - must remain unconnected or tied to ground; no internal function |
| 5 | N.C. | No connection - must remain unconnected or tied to ground; no internal function |
| 6 | OUT | Precision 4.096V reference output - decouple with 0.1µF ceramic if high transient immunity required |
| 7 | IN | Positive supply input (4.3V–12.6V) - bypass with 0.1µF ceramic close to pin for improved line rejection |
| 8 | N.C. | No connection - must remain unconnected or tied to ground; no internal function |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5040IDR | 4.096V, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 100µA supply current, SO-8 package | Higher precision, higher power - suited for lab-grade instruments, not battery operation | Select when <±0.1 LSB drift over temperature is mandatory and supply current >100µA is acceptable |
| ADR3440ARJZ-R7 | 4.096V, 10ppm/°C max tempco, 120µA supply current, SOT-23-5 package | Smaller footprint but 14× higher supply current - trades battery life for board area reduction | Select when PCB area is critical and system duty cycle allows average current >100µA |
Compared with REF5040IDR and ADR3440ARJZ-R7, the MAX6029ESA41+T uniquely balances ultra-low power (8.75µA), industry-standard 4.096V output, and SO-8 manufacturability - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, long-life portable instrumentation where 30ppm/°C drift is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX6029ESA41+T at +25°C?
The MAX6029ESA41+T guarantees a 4.096V output voltage with ±0.15% (max) initial accuracy at +25°C, corresponding to a range of 4.088V to 4.104V. This specification is production-tested and applies to all units shipped in the MAX6029ESA41+T variant, ensuring consistent performance without post-manufacture calibration.
Does the MAX6029ESA41+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6029ESA41+T does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its internal compensation ensures unconditional stability with capacitive loads from 0 to 10µF when sourcing current and 0 to 0.4µF when sinking current. An output capacitor may be added to improve transient response but is never mandatory.
What is the maximum supply voltage the MAX6029ESA41+T can tolerate?
The MAX6029ESA41+T has an absolute maximum supply voltage (IN to GND) of +13V. Its operational supply range is specified from 4.3V to 12.6V - meaning it functions correctly and meets all electrical specifications within that window, with 12.6V being the highest recommended continuous operating voltage.
How does the supply current of the MAX6029ESA41+T vary with input voltage?
The MAX6029ESA41+T exhibits only 1.5µA/V (max) change in supply current over its 4.3V–12.6V input range, resulting in total variation of ≤12.45µA. At 4.3V, typical supply current is ~7.5µA; at 12.6V, it rises to ~8.75µA (max), preserving ultra-low power operation across wide supply conditions.
Can the MAX6029ESA41+T drive a 10µF load capacitor while sourcing 4mA?
Yes, the MAX6029ESA41+T is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable when sourcing up to 4mA into load capacitances from 0.1µF to 10µF. This capability is confirmed in the datasheet's "Stable with Capacitive Loads Up to 10µF" feature and validated in Typical Operating Characteristics (TOC23, TOC27).
