Product details
Overview
MAX6034AEXR21+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, micropower, low-dropout series voltage reference in SC70-3 package, delivering 2.048V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 200mV max dropout at 1mA load. It operates from -40°C to +85°C and serves as a stable reference for high-resolution ADCs and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6034AEXR21+T datasheet, MAX6034AEXR21+T pinout, MAX6034AEXR21+T application, or MAX6034AEXR21+T equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, SC70-3 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in data acquisition and portable systems, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX6034AEXR21+T uses a proprietary curvature-corrected bandgap core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve <30ppm/°C TC and ±0.2% initial accuracy. Its series-mode architecture draws only 90µA quiescent current and maintains supply-current stability of ≤16µA/V across 2.5V–5.5V input range.
It delivers 1mA source / 200µA sink capability with ≤200mV dropout, supports 0–1µF capacitive loads without external compensation, and achieves 0.1% turn-on settling in 85µs (COUT = 50pF). No output capacitor is required for stability-critical for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048V ±0.2% (±4.1mV) - enables 12-bit+ ADC accuracy over full temperature range |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤30ppm/°C - ensures ≤±0.52mV drift from -40°C to +85°C |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤200mV at 1mA load - allows operation from 2.248V supply, ideal for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3420ARJZ-R7 | 2.048V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C TC, 125µA supply current, SOT23-3 package | Higher accuracy and lower TC, but larger footprint and 38% higher supply current | Preferred when sub-0.1% system accuracy is required and board space permits SOT23-3 |
| REF3020AIDBZR | 2.048V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C TC, 50µA supply current, SOT23-3 package | Lower quiescent current but higher TC; not specified for 1µF capacitive load stability | Selected for ultra-low-power applications where TC tolerance >30ppm/°C is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6034AEXR21+T, ADR3420ARJZ-R7 offers superior accuracy and TC at the cost of higher supply current and larger package, while REF3020AIDBZR trades TC performance for lower IQ but lacks guaranteed 1µF load stability-making MAX6034AEXR21+T optimal for space-constrained, moderate-accuracy, high-stability designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MAX6034AEXR21+T?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MAX6034AEXR21+T is +6.0V referenced to GND. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.5V to 5.5V, with minimum input defined as VOUT + 200mV (i.e., ≥2.248V) to maintain regulation. Exceeding 5.5V violates the guaranteed line-regulation specification.
Does MAX6034AEXR21+T require an external output capacitor?
No, MAX6034AEXR21+T does not require an external output capacitor for stability-it is internally compensated and remains stable with load capacitance from 0 to 1µF. Adding a capacitor may improve transient response in step-load applications but is optional and unnecessary for basic regulation. This eliminates BOM cost and PCB area typically consumed by such capacitors.
What is the dropout voltage specification for MAX6034AEXR21+T at 1mA load?
The dropout voltage for MAX6034AEXR21+T is specified as ≤200mV at 1mA sourcing load current. This means the device maintains regulation as long as the input voltage remains ≥2.248V (2.048V + 0.2V). Dropout is measured as the minimum VIN–VOUT differential causing a 0.2% drop in output voltage from its nominal value at VIN = 5.0V.
Can MAX6034AEXR21+T sink current, and if so, how much?
Yes, MAX6034AEXR21+T can sink up to 200µA of load current. This capability supports applications where the reference output must drive a sinking load (e.g., certain DAC bias networks or current-steering circuits). When sinking 200µA, the output voltage change is ≤62mV/mA, meaning total deviation remains within ±12.4mV-well within its ±0.2% (±4.1mV) initial accuracy band at room temperature.
Is MAX6034AEXR21+T compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, MAX6034AEXR21+T is RoHS-compliant and qualified for standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles, including peak temperatures up to +260°C for 10 seconds. Its SC70-3 package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to assembly.
