Product details
Overview
MAX6029EUK21+T from Maxim Integrated is a micropower, low-dropout series-mode voltage reference delivering 2.048V output with ±0.15% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and ultra-low 5.25µA max supply current in a 5-pin SOT23 package. It sources up to 4mA and sinks up to 1mA, operates from 2.5V to 12.6V input, and features 200mV dropout-enabling precision analog sensing and data acquisition in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6029EUK21+T datasheet, MAX6029EUK21+T pinout, MAX6029EUK21+T application, or MAX6029EUK21+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 2.048V output tolerance at +25°C (2.0449V–2.0511V), stability with capacitive loads up to 10µF, no external compensation requirement, and operation across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6029EUK21+T uses a bandgap-based series-mode architecture with internal compensation, eliminating need for external capacitors while maintaining stability under load capacitance ranging from 0 to 10µF during sourcing and up to 0.4µF during sinking. Its BiCMOS process enables ultra-low quiescent current with minimal supply-voltage dependence (≤1.5µA/V variation).
Designed for high-accuracy DC biasing, it delivers tight line regulation (≤200µV/V) and load regulation (≤0.7µV/µA sourcing, ≤5.5µV/µA sinking), with turn-on settling to 0.1% of final value in 450µs. Thermal hysteresis is limited to 140ppm, and long-term drift is 150ppm over 1000 hours at +25°C.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of MAX6029EUK21+T at +25°C?
The MAX6029EUK21+T guarantees an output voltage of 2.0449V to 2.0511V at +25°C, corresponding to ±0.15% initial accuracy. This specification is production-tested and ensures compatibility with 12-bit ADCs requiring ≤1 LSB error at 2.048V full scale. The MAX6029EUK21+T maintains this accuracy across its –40°C to +85°C operating range with a maximum temperature coefficient of 30ppm/°C.
Does MAX6029EUK21+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6029EUK21+T does not require an external output capacitor for stability due to its internally compensated design. It remains stable driving capacitive loads from 0 to 10µF when sourcing current and from 0 to 0.4µF when sinking current. Adding a capacitor (e.g., 1µF ceramic) may improve transient response in step-load applications but is optional-not mandatory-for basic operation.
What is the minimum input voltage needed for MAX6029EUK21+T to regulate properly?
The MAX6029EUK21+T requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5V to maintain regulation. At 4mA load, its dropout voltage is 200mV, meaning the input must be ≥2.248V (2.048V + 0.200V) to sustain nominal output. The device is specified to operate from 2.5V to 12.6V input, with supply current remaining stable across this range (variation ≤1.5µA/V). Below 2.5V, output voltage drops linearly with input.
Can MAX6029EUK21+T sink current, and how much?
Yes, the MAX6029EUK21+T can sink up to 1mA of load current while maintaining output regulation and specified accuracy. This capability supports applications requiring bidirectional reference buffering, such as driving the inverting input of a precision op-amp or interfacing with current-steering DACs. Load regulation under sinking conditions is specified at ≤5.5µV/µA, ensuring predictable behavior even near dropout.
Is MAX6029EUK21+T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MAX6029EUK21+T is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "+T" suffix in its ordering code. The device uses a matte-tin finish on its SOT23 package terminals and conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) standards. It is rated for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to +260°C.
