Product details
Overview
MAX6029EUK25+T from Maxim Integrated is a micropower, low-dropout series-mode voltage reference delivering 2.500V output with ±0.15% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and ultra-low 5.75µA max supply current in a 5-pin SOT23 package. It sources up to 4mA and sinks up to 1mA, operates from 2.7V to 12.6V input, and maintains stability with capacitive loads up to 10µF - ideal for precision ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6029EUK25+T datasheet, MAX6029EUK25+T pinout, MAX6029EUK25+T application, or MAX6029EUK25+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 2.500V output tolerance at +25°C (2.4963V to 2.5038V), 200mV dropout at 4mA load, 137µVRMS noise (10Hz–1kHz), and operation across –40°C to +85°C without external compensation.
Technical Context
The MAX6029EUK25+T uses a bandgap-based series architecture with internal compensation, eliminating need for external capacitors while ensuring stability with 0–10µF output capacitance during sourcing and 0–0.4µF during sinking. Its supply current remains tightly regulated (≤1.5µA/V variation) across the full 2.7V–12.6V input range.
It achieves precision via trimmed output voltage and low thermal hysteresis (140ppm), with long-term stability of 150ppm over 1000 hours. Load regulation is specified at 2.5–6.2µV/µA (0 to +4mA source / 0 to –1mA sink), and line regulation at ≤230µV/V from 2.7V to 12.6V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6126AASA25+ | Higher initial accuracy (±0.02%), lower noise (7.5µVRMS), but 12µA supply current and SO-8 only | Suitable for metrology-grade systems where power is secondary to precision | Select MAX6126AASA25+ when sub-0.05% total error budget is required and board space allows SO-8 |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | Similar 2.5V output and SOT23-5 package, but 12ppm/°C tempco and 6.5µA supply current; requires 1µF output cap for stability | Better tempco for wide-temperature deployments, but adds capacitor and footprint | Choose ADR3425ARJZ-R7 if 12ppm/°C is mandatory and 1µF output cap is acceptable in layout |
Compared with MAX6029EUK25+T, MAX6126AASA25+ trades 2× higher supply current for 7× better accuracy and noise, while ADR3425ARJZ-R7 offers tighter tempco at the cost of mandatory output capacitance and slightly higher quiescent draw - making MAX6029EUK25+T optimal for space- and power-constrained 16-bit applications where ±0.15% is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance of MAX6029EUK25+T at +25°C?
The MAX6029EUK25+T guarantees an output voltage of 2.4963V to 2.5038V at +25°C, corresponding to ±0.15% initial accuracy. This specification is production-tested and applies specifically to the MAX6029EUK25+T variant in the 5-pin SOT23 package, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for MAX6029_25.
Does MAX6029EUK25+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, MAX6029EUK25+T does not require an external output capacitor for stability. It is internally compensated and remains stable with capacitive loads from 0 to 10µF when sourcing current and 0 to 0.4µF when sinking current. This eliminates BOM cost and layout area typically needed for reference decoupling.
What is the maximum supply current of MAX6029EUK25+T across its operating temperature range?
The MAX6029EUK25+T has a maximum supply current of 5.75µA over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is specified at VIN = 2.7V and includes worst-case variation; typical supply current is lower and increases by ≤1.5µA/V across the input voltage range.
Can MAX6029EUK25+T operate from a single 3.0V lithium coin cell?
Yes, MAX6029EUK25+T can operate from a single 3.0V lithium coin cell. With a minimum input voltage of 2.7V and 200mV dropout at 4mA load, it delivers regulated 2.500V output down to 2.9V input - well within the 2.0V–3.0V discharge curve of CR2032 cells under light load conditions.
How does the noise performance of MAX6029EUK25+T impact 16-bit ADC accuracy?
With 137µVRMS noise (10Hz–1kHz) and 39µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz), MAX6029EUK25+T contributes <0.9 LSB of noise to a 2.5V full-scale 16-bit ADC (LSB = 38.1µV). This preserves effective number of bits (ENOB) above 15.5 bits, ensuring noise does not dominate the system's overall quantization error.
