Product details
Overview
MAX6029EUK50+T from Maxim Integrated is a micropower, low-dropout series-mode voltage reference delivering 5.000V output with ±0.15% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and ultra-low 10.5µA max supply current. It sources up to 4mA and sinks up to 1mA, operates from 5.2V to 12.6V input, and features 200mV dropout-enabling precision analog sensing in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6029EUK50+T datasheet, MAX6029EUK50+T pinout, MAX6029EUK50+T application, or MAX6029EUK50+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 5.000V output tolerance at +25°C (4.9925V–5.0075V), stability with 0–10µF capacitive loads, no external compensation requirement, and operation across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6029EUK50+T uses a bandgap-based series architecture with internal compensation, eliminating need for external capacitors while maintaining stability under load capacitance ranging from 0 to 10µF when sourcing and up to 0.4µF when sinking. Its supply current remains tightly regulated (10.5µA max) with only 1.5µA/V variation over input voltage.
It achieves precision via trimmed output voltage and low thermal hysteresis (140ppm), with long-term stability of 150ppm over 1000 hours. The device's 90µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) and 245µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) noise performance supports high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing without additional filtering.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3450ARJZ-R7 | Higher 12µA typical supply current; 10ppm/°C max tempco; requires 1µF output cap for stability | Better tempco but higher quiescent draw and external cap dependency limit use in ultra-low-power designs | Select ADR3450ARJZ-R7 only if tighter tempco outweighs battery-life penalty and layout complexity |
| REF3050AIDBZR | 12ppm/°C max tempco; 50µA max supply current; 250mV dropout; stable with ≥1nF load | Higher power consumption and larger dropout reduce suitability for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell systems | Choose REF3050AIDBZR when higher output drive (25mA) and better tempco justify increased supply current |
Compared with ADR3450ARJZ-R7 and REF3050AIDBZR, MAX6029EUK50+T offers lowest supply current (10.5µA max) and smallest footprint (SOT23), making it optimal for space-constrained, long-life battery applications where 30ppm/°C drift is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current the MAX6029EUK50+T can source and sink?
The MAX6029EUK50+T 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 microcontroller VREF pins without external buffering. Exceeding these limits may cause output voltage deviation beyond the 30ppm/°C temperature coefficient specification.
Does the MAX6029EUK50+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6029EUK50+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 up to 0.4µF when sinking current. Adding an output capacitor (e.g., 1µF ceramic) improves transient response during step-load changes but is optional per the datasheet.
What is the dropout voltage specification for MAX6029EUK50+T at full load?
The dropout voltage for MAX6029EUK50+T is 200mV maximum at 4mA output current. This means the device maintains regulation as long as the input voltage remains at least 5.200V (5.000V + 0.200V). Dropout is measured as the minimum VIN–VOUT differential required to hold VOUT within 0.1% of its nominal value under rated load conditions.
How does the supply current of MAX6029EUK50+T vary with input voltage?
The supply current of MAX6029EUK50+T varies by no more than 1.5µA per volt across its 5.2V to 12.6V input range. At 5.2V input, typical supply current is ~10.5µA; at 12.6V, it rises by ≤11.1µA, remaining well below the 10.5µA maximum spec. This near-constant current draw maximizes battery efficiency across varying supply conditions.
Is MAX6029EUK50+T compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, MAX6029EUK50+T carries a "+" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant, lead-free packaging. It is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles with peak temperatures up to +260°C and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/85% RH without dry-pack requirements.
