Product details
Overview
MAX6029EUK41+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 a 5-pin SOT23 package. It sources up to 4mA and sinks up to 1mA, operates from 4.3V 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 MAX6029EUK41+T datasheet, MAX6029EUK41+T pinout, MAX6029EUK41+T application, or MAX6029EUK41+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.096V output voltage matched to 12-bit ADC full-scale ranges, guaranteed dropout ≤200mV at 4mA load, 210µVRMS noise (10Hz–1kHz), and operation across –40°C to +85°C without external compensation.
Technical Context
The MAX6029EUK41+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 BiCMOS process enables ultra-low quiescent current (8.75µA max) with only 1.5µA/V line sensitivity.
Designed for precision analog signal chains, it delivers 4.096V output optimized for 12-bit systems (e.g., 4096-count full scale), supports 0.1% settling in 1.2ms, and provides 36dB ripple rejection at 120Hz-critical for high-resolution data acquisition in noisy environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.15% (max) at +25°C - matches 12-bit ADC full-scale code count of 4096 for zero-error scaling. |
| Temperature Coefficient | 30ppm/°C (max) - ensures <±0.5mV drift over –40°C to +85°C, enabling stable 12-bit accuracy without calibration. |
| Supply Current | 8.75µA (max) - extends battery life in portable devices; variation ≤1.5µA/V ensures consistent power draw across 4.3–12.6V input range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV (max) at 4mA load - allows operation from 4.3V input while maintaining regulation, suitable for single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems. |
| Noise (10Hz–1kHz) | 210µVRMS - contributes <0.05 LSB error in 12-bit, 4.096V-range ADCs, minimizing quantization uncertainty. |
| Load Regulation | 2.5–8.5µV/µA (sourcing/sinking) - holds output within ±0.5mV under full 4mA/–1mA load change, preserving reference integrity in dynamic loads. |
| Stability Range | 0–10µF capacitive load (sourcing), 0–0.4µF (sinking) - eliminates need for output capacitor in space-constrained designs while ensuring transient robustness. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6029EUK41+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0057), occupying 70% less PCB area than comparable SO-8 devices. The package features gull-wing leads, thermal pad not connected, and is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN | Positive supply input; accepts 4.3V–12.6V; no input capacitor required, but 0.1µF ceramic improves transient response. |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into reference output. |
| 3, 4 | N.C. | No internal connection; may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability or EMI reduction. |
| 5 | OUT | Precision 4.096V reference output; capable of sourcing 4mA or sinking 1mA; stable with 0–10µF capacitive loads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3041AIDBVR | 4.096V output, 50ppm/°C TC (vs. 30ppm), 50µA supply current (vs. 8.75µA), SOT23-5 package. | Higher drift and 6× higher supply current limit battery life and thermal headroom in portable medical devices. | Select MAX6029EUK41+T when ultra-low power and tight TC are mandatory; choose REF3041AIDBVR only if legacy design reuse or lower cost outweighs performance loss. |
| ADR3440ARJZ-R7 | 4.096V output, 10ppm/°C TC (tighter), but 120µA supply current, 350mV dropout, and requires 1µF output cap for stability. | Superior TC suits metrology-grade instruments, but higher power and external cap requirement conflict with space/power constraints in wearables. | Prefer ADR3440ARJZ-R7 for lab-grade calibration tools; retain MAX6029EUK41+T for field-deployable, battery-operated systems where size and efficiency dominate. |
Compared with REF3041AIDBVR and ADR3440ARJZ-R7, the MAX6029EUK41+T uniquely balances ultra-low 8.75µA supply current, 30ppm/°C TC, and capacitor-free stability-making it the optimal choice for space- and energy-constrained 12-bit data acquisition where 4.096V alignment is essential.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX6029EUK41+T at +25°C?
The MAX6029EUK41+T guarantees an output voltage of 4.096V with ±0.15% (max) initial accuracy at +25°C, corresponding to a tolerance band of 4.0899V to 4.1021V. This specification is production-tested and applies specifically to the MAX6029EUK41+T variant, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for MAX6029_41 on page 6 of the datasheet.
Does the MAX6029EUK41+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6029EUK41+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. This eliminates BOM cost and board space overhead, a key advantage explicitly stated in the General Description and Applications Information sections.
What is the maximum supply current for the MAX6029EUK41+T, and how does it vary with input voltage?
The MAX6029EUK41+T has a maximum supply current of 8.75µA at TA = +25°C and VIN = 4.3V to 12.6V. Its supply current variation is limited to 1.5µA/V (max) across the input range, meaning total current remains tightly bounded-e.g., increasing by ≤12.4µA from 4.3V to 12.6V-ensuring predictable power budgeting in battery systems.
Can the MAX6029EUK41+T drive a 10µF load capacitor while maintaining regulation?
Yes, the MAX6029EUK41+T is specified to remain stable driving capacitive loads up to 10µF when sourcing current, as documented in both the General Description and Applications Information sections. This capability is enabled by its internal compensation and is validated across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range, supporting robust transient response in systems with large local decoupling.
What is the dropout voltage specification for the MAX6029EUK41+T at full 4mA load?
The MAX6029EUK41+T has a maximum dropout voltage of 200mV at 4mA output source current, defined as the minimum VIN − VOUT required to maintain regulation within 0.1% of nominal output. This value is guaranteed across temperature and is critical for operation from low-input rails such as partially discharged batteries or post-LDO supplies.
