Product details
Overview
MAX6034AEXR25+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, micropower, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 2.500V ±0.2% (max) output with 30ppm/°C (max) temperature coefficient, 200mV (max) dropout at 1mA load, and 90µA typical supply current. It operates from –40°C to +85°C in battery-powered data-acquisition systems requiring stable, space-constrained analog references.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6034AEXR25+T datasheet, MAX6034AEXR25+T pinout, MAX6034AEXR25+T application, or MAX6034AEXR25+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SC70-3 package details, real-world load/transient behavior, and validated alternative options for precision analog design and BOM optimization.
Technical Context
The MAX6034AEXR25+T uses a proprietary curvature-corrected bandgap core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve ±0.2% initial accuracy and ≤30ppm/°C TC across –40°C to +85°C. Its series-mode architecture eliminates external bias resistors and supports sourcing up to 1mA and sinking up to 200µA.
Internally compensated for stability with 0–1µF capacitive loads, it requires no output capacitor-reducing board area-and maintains <16µA/V supply current variation over input voltage. Dropout is specified at 70–200mV (typ–max) at 1mA, enabling operation down to VIN = VOUT + 200mV (i.e., 2.7V min).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.2% (max) - ensures ≤±5mV absolute error at +25°C for 12-bit ADC reference compliance |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤30ppm/°C (max) - limits drift to ≤±2.25mV over –40°C to +85°C ambient range |
| Dropout Voltage | 70–200mV (typ–max) at 1mA - enables operation from 2.7V supply in single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V rail-scaled systems |
| Supply Current | 85–115µA (min–max) - ultra-low quiescent draw supports >10-year battery life in always-on sensors |
| Load Drive | Sources 1mA / sinks 200µA - sufficient for driving SAR ADC reference inputs and op-amp bias networks |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 55µVP-P - low flicker noise preserves SNR in high-resolution (≥16-bit) data converters |
| Capacitive Load | Stable with 0–1µF - eliminates need for output capacitor, saving PCB area in wearables and portable medical devices |
Pinout & Package
MAX6034AEXR25+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70-3 surface-mount package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.9mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts. The package is moisture-sensitive level 1 (MSL-1) and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Supply Voltage Input | Accepts 2.7V to 5.5V input; minimum VIN = VOUT + 200mV (2.7V); decoupling with 0.1µF ceramic recommended |
| 2 (OUT) | Reference Voltage Output | Provides regulated 2.500V ±0.2%; directly drives ADC REF pins, DAC bias, or op-amp gain-setting networks |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Low-impedance return path; must be connected to clean analog ground plane to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SC70-3 package | 2.0mm × 2.1mm footprint saves >60% board area vs. SOT23-3 in portable instrumentation |
| No external compensation cap | Eliminates 1–2 passive components and associated layout constraints in space-critical designs |
| Supply-current independence | ΔIIN/ΔVIN ≤16µA/V ensures stable current draw across input rail variations (e.g., battery discharge) |
| Low dropout at full load | 200mV max dropout at 1mA allows use with 2.7V supplies - critical for single-cell energy harvesting systems |
| High PSRR (80dB @ 120Hz) | Rejects ripple from noisy DC-DC converters, preserving reference integrity in mixed-signal SoC power domains |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5V ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C TC (lower), 120µA supply current (higher), SOT23-3 package | Better TC and accuracy but larger footprint and higher current - suited for lab-grade instruments, not space/power-constrained nodes | Select ADR3425ARJZ-R7 when TC <10ppm/°C is mandatory and board area is secondary; MAX6034AEXR25+T preferred for portable, battery-limited designs |
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5V ±0.2% accuracy, 50ppm/°C TC (worse), 45µA supply current (lower), SOT23-3 package | Lower power but higher TC - acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where ambient temp is stabilized | Choose REF3025AIDBZR only if supply current <50µA is critical and temperature range is limited (0°C to 70°C); MAX6034AEXR25+T offers superior TC for extended temp deployments |
Compared with ADR3425ARJZ-R7 and REF3025AIDBZR, MAX6034AEXR25+T uniquely balances ultra-low supply current (90µA), tight TC (≤30ppm/°C), and minimal SC70-3 footprint - making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-operated precision analog systems where all three parameters constrain design.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of MAX6034AEXR25+T?
The MAX6034AEXR25+T requires a minimum input voltage of VOUT + 200mV, i.e., 2.7V, to maintain regulation at 1mA load. Below this, output voltage drops nonlinearly. This 200mV dropout specification is verified across –40°C to +85°C and defines the lower limit of compatible supply rails, such as single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) or regulated 3.3V outputs with margin.
Does MAX6034AEXR25+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, MAX6034AEXR25+T is internally compensated and stable with 0–1µF capacitive loads - including no output capacitor. This eliminates a common BOM item and saves PCB area. An optional 1µF ceramic capacitor may be added to improve transient response during large load steps, but it is not required for loop stability per the datasheet.
How does the supply current of MAX6034AEXR25+T vary with input voltage?
MAX6034AEXR25+T exhibits supply current variation of ≤16µA/V across its input range (2.7V to 5.5V). Measured values range from 85µA (min) to 115µA (max), with typical draw at 90µA. This near-constant current simplifies power budgeting in systems with varying input rails, such as battery-powered devices undergoing discharge.
Can MAX6034AEXR25+T sink current, and what is its maximum sink capability?
Yes, MAX6034AEXR25+T can sink up to 200µA while maintaining output regulation. This capability supports active pull-down of reference nodes, biasing of current-sinking DACs, or interfacing with circuits requiring bidirectional reference loading - unlike many shunt references that only source current.
What is the long-term stability performance of MAX6034AEXR25+T?
MAX6034AEXR25+T demonstrates 90ppm drift over 1000 hours at +25°C, measured as change in output voltage under continuous bias. This long-term stability metric supports applications requiring infrequent recalibration, such as field-deployed environmental monitors or sealed industrial controllers where maintenance access is limited.
