Product details
Overview
MAX6033CAUT41 from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision, low-dropout series voltage reference with 4.096V nominal output, ±0.10% initial accuracy (at +25°C), 40ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over -40°C to +125°C, and 200mV max dropout voltage at 10mA load. It delivers stable reference performance for 14-bit DACs in battery-powered handheld instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6033CAUT41 datasheet, MAX6033CAUT41 pinout, MAX6033CAUT41 application, or MAX6033CAUT41 equivalent, this device is selected for precision analog signal chains requiring automotive-grade temperature stability, low noise (32µVP-P, 0.1Hz–10Hz), and minimal quiescent current (85µA max) in space-constrained SOT23-6 layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6033CAUT41 uses bandgap-based architecture with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors and post-package trimming to achieve ±0.10% initial accuracy and 40ppm/°C tempco over the full automotive range. Its dual-output force-sense topology (OUTF/OUTS) enables precise regulation under varying load and PCB trace impedance.
This series reference operates from 4.3V to 12.6V input, sustains 15mA source current, and maintains 0.15mV/mA load regulation across -100µA to +15mA. It is stable with 0.1µF to 100µF output capacitance and exhibits 150ppm temperature hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.10% at +25°C - ensures direct compatibility with 12-bit ADC/DAC full-scale references. |
| Tempco | 40ppm/°C max (-40°C to +125°C) - guarantees ≤±0.5mV drift over full automotive temperature range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV max at 10mA - enables operation from 4.3V supply while maintaining regulation for 4.096V output. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 32µVP-P - supports 16-bit effective resolution in precision data acquisition systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 85µA max (-40°C to +125°C) - extends battery life in portable instrumentation without sacrificing accuracy. |
| Load Regulation | 0.15mV/mA - limits output shift to <1.5mV across full 15mA load range, critical for dynamic load applications. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.3V to 12.6V - accommodates wide-input industrial power rails while avoiding dropout in brownout conditions. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6033CAUT41 is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (package code UGFH-6), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and 1.1mm height. Pin 1 and Pin 3 are internally connected and must remain unconnected on PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3 | I.C. (Internally Connected) | Unused internal node - must be left floating; no external connection permitted. |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference plane - requires low-impedance connection to system AGND for noise immunity. |
| 4 | IN | Positive supply input - accepts 4.3V–12.6V; bypass with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 5 | OUTF | Force output - drives load current; connect directly to OUTS near device to close feedback loop. |
| 6 | OUTS | Sense input - monitors regulated voltage at load; enables remote sensing to cancel PCB trace IR drop. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6033AAUT41#TG16 | 10ppm/°C tempco (vs. 40ppm/°C), ±0.04% initial accuracy - tighter tolerance but higher cost. | Better suited for metrology-grade equipment where <±0.2mV total error budget is required. | Select when tempco-driven error dominates system budget; avoid if cost-sensitive or automotive temp range not needed. |
| ADR4540BRZ | 40ppm/°C tempco, ±0.04% initial accuracy, 4.096V output, SOIC-8 package - higher accuracy but larger footprint and 1.2mA quiescent current. | Preferred for lab-grade instruments where board space is available and ultra-low noise (1.8µVRMS) is critical. | Choose when lower noise and higher drive capability (20mA) outweigh size and power penalties. |
Compared with MAX6033AAUT41#TG16, MAX6033CAUT41 offers 4× lower cost and identical automotive qualification but trades 3.6× higher tempco; versus ADR4540BRZ, it saves 70% board area and 93% quiescent power at the expense of 17× higher low-frequency noise.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX6033CAUT41?
The MAX6033CAUT41 sources up to 15mA of output current while maintaining regulation and specified accuracy. At 10mA load, its dropout voltage remains ≤200mV, and load regulation is limited to 0.15mV/mA. Exceeding 15mA may cause output voltage collapse or thermal shutdown.
Can the MAX6033CAUT41 operate from a 3.3V supply?
No. The MAX6033CAUT41 requires a minimum input voltage of 4.3V to maintain 4.096V output regulation, as specified in its electrical characteristics table. A 3.3V supply falls below the 4.3V lower limit and will result in dropout and unregulated output.
How does the OUTF/OUTS pin configuration improve accuracy in the MAX6033CAUT41?
The MAX6033CAUT41 uses separate force (OUTF) and sense (OUTS) pins to eliminate voltage drop errors caused by PCB trace resistance between the device and load. By routing OUTS directly to the load point, the internal error amplifier adjusts OUTF to maintain exact 4.096V at the sense node, achieving <0.01% remote-load accuracy.
Is the MAX6033CAUT41 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes. The MAX6033CAUT41 is explicitly rated for the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and appears in Maxim's automotive-grade ordering guide. Its 40ppm/°C tempco, 150ppm hysteresis, and AEC-Q200-aligned packaging qualify it for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
What is the recommended output capacitor for optimal noise performance in the MAX6033CAUT41?
For lowest 0.1Hz–10Hz noise, use a 10µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of the OUTS pin. The MAX6033CAUT41 is stable with 0.1µF to 100µF output capacitance; 10µF reduces 32µVP-P noise by ~30% compared to 0.1µF while preserving 500µs turn-on settling time.
