Product details
Overview
MAX6033CAUT25-T from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision, low-dropout series voltage reference IC delivering 2.500V output with ±0.10% initial accuracy, 40ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over –40°C to +125°C, and 200mV max dropout at 10mA load-designed for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in industrial process control and handheld instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6033CAUT25-T datasheet, MAX6033CAUT25-T pinout, MAX6033CAUT25-T application, or MAX6033CAUT25-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed automotive-grade temperature stability, ultra-low 40µA quiescent current, stable operation with 0.1µF–100µF capacitive loads, and dual-output force/sense architecture enabling precision current sourcing and minimized layout-induced errors.
Technical Context
The MAX6033CAUT25-T employs bandgap-based series topology with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors and post-package trimming to achieve ±0.10% initial accuracy and 40ppm/°C max TCVOUT across –40°C to +125°C. Its force (OUTF) and sense (OUTS) outputs decouple load regulation from PCB trace resistance, enabling sub-0.1mV/mA load regulation performance.
This device operates from 2.7V to 12.6V input, maintains 16µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise at 2.5V output, and achieves <500µs turn-on settling to ±0.01%-all while consuming only 40µA typical supply current and supporting up to 15mA source capability without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.0025V at +25°C - enables direct interface with 2.5V-reference ADCs/DACs without scaling. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.10% - reduces system calibration burden in high-accuracy measurement front-ends. |
| Temp Coefficient | 40ppm/°C max (–40°C to +125°C) - ensures ≤100ppm total drift across full automotive range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV max at 10mA - allows operation from 2.7V supply while maintaining regulation for low-voltage systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA typical - extends battery life in portable instruments and enables always-on sensing nodes. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 16µVP-P - preserves ENOB in 16-bit+ ADC conversions without additional filtering. |
| Load Regulation | 0.001mV/mA - minimizes output shift under dynamic load changes in precision DAC buffers. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6033CAUT25-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (U6F-6 outline), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height-compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles and space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3 | I.C. (Internally Connected) | Not usable externally; internal connection only-must remain unconnected on PCB. |
| 2 | GND | Reference ground return path; requires low-impedance connection to system AGND plane. |
| 4 | IN | Positive supply input (2.7V–12.6V); bypass with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 5 | OUTF | Force output-sources up to 15mA; connects to load or current-sink transistor base; bypass to GND with 0.1µF min. |
| 6 | OUTS | Sense input-monitors voltage at load; must be shorted to OUTF near device to eliminate trace IR drop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-force/sense outputs | Enables Kelvin sensing to reject PCB trace resistance effects-critical for <0.01% accuracy in remote loads. |
| Stable with 0.1µF–100µF capacitive loads | Eliminates need for external compensation; supports both ceramic and bulk electrolytic output capacitance. |
| Low 16µVP-P noise (0.1–10Hz) | Preserves signal integrity in 16-bit+ data acquisition-no added filtering required for DC-coupled sensors. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed temperature coefficient specification for MAX6033CAUT25-T?
The MAX6033CAUT25-T is guaranteed to maintain ≤40ppm/°C temperature coefficient across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for the MAX6033C grade. This value represents maximum drift over temperature-not typical or average-and applies to all units in production.
Can MAX6033CAUT25-T operate from a 2.7V supply while sourcing 15mA?
Yes-MAX6033CAUT25-T supports 2.7V minimum input voltage and delivers up to 15mA output current with ≤200mV dropout, meaning it regulates stably down to 2.5V output at 15mA load. At 2.7V input, headroom is 200mV, satisfying the max dropout spec under worst-case conditions.
How should the OUTF and OUTS pins be connected in a PCB layout?
OUTF and OUTS must be shorted together using a low-inductance, wide copper trace placed as close to the MAX6033CAUT25-T package as possible-ideally within 1mm. This minimizes parasitic resistance between force and sense paths, preserving the accuracy benefit of the dual-output architecture.
Is MAX6033CAUT25-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes-MAX6033CAUT25-T is explicitly rated for the automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and appears in Maxim's automotive-grade ordering guide. All electrical parameters-including initial accuracy, TCVOUT, and dropout-are fully specified and guaranteed across this range.
What is the recommended output capacitance for MAX6033CAUT25-T?
The MAX6033CAUT25-T requires a minimum 0.1µF ceramic capacitor at the output for stability and is certified stable with up to 100µF total capacitive load-including combinations of ceramic and bulk electrolytic types-enabling flexible noise filtering without risk of oscillation.
