Product details
Overview
MAX6034BEXR21+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, micropower, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 2.048V output with ±0.4% initial accuracy, 75ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 200mV max dropout at 1mA load - designed for high-accuracy analog signal chains in space-constrained, battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6034BEXR21+T datasheet, MAX6034BEXR21+T pinout, MAX6034BEXR21+T application, or MAX6034BEXR21+T equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SC70-3 package details, real-world load/line regulation behavior, stability with 0–1µF capacitive loads, and selection guidance against comparable voltage references.
Technical Context
The MAX6034BEXR21+T uses a proprietary curvature-corrected bandgap core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve tight initial accuracy and low thermal drift. Its series-mode architecture eliminates external biasing resistors and supports sourcing up to 1mA and sinking up to 200µA.
Internally compensated for stability across 0–1µF load capacitance, it operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input with supply current varying only ≤16µA/V - enabling predictable power budgeting in ultra-low-power designs without output capacitor dependency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048V ±0.4% (max initial error = ±8.2mV at +25°C) |
| Temp Coefficient | 75ppm/°C max (output drift ≤±0.0155V over -40°C to +85°C) |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV max at 1mA load (enables operation with VIN as low as 2.248V) |
| Supply Current | 85–115µA typical (90µA nominal; variation ≤16µA/V supports wide VIN range) |
| Load Regulation | 1.0mV/mA max sourcing (0–1mA), 62mV/mA max sinking (0–200µA) |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 45µVP-P (critical for high-resolution ADC reference stability) |
| Capacitive Load Range | Stable with 0–1µF (no mandatory output capacitor saves PCB area) |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3420BRJZ-R7 | ±0.1% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C TC, 120µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package | Higher accuracy but higher quiescent current; requires 1µF output cap for stability | Select when tighter initial tolerance is prioritized over ultra-low IQ and board space |
| REF3020AIDBZR | ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C TC, 50µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package | Lower supply current but 250mV dropout; not stable with >10nF load capacitance | Select when lowest possible IQ dominates, and output capacitance can be strictly controlled |
Compared with ADR3420BRJZ-R7 and REF3020AIDBZR, the MAX6034BEXR21+T offers the best balance of moderate accuracy (±0.4%), ultra-low dropout (200mV), zero-output-capacitor operation, and SC70 size - making it uniquely suited for compact, battery-fed systems where layout area and input headroom are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current the MAX6034BEXR21+T can source and sink?
The MAX6034BEXR21+T can source up to 1mA and sink up to 200µA while maintaining specified output voltage accuracy and dropout performance. This dual-direction capability supports both active pull-up and pull-down configurations in precision analog circuits, such as biasing op-amp inputs or driving low-power DAC references. Exceeding these limits may cause excessive dropout or output deviation beyond datasheet tolerances.
Does the MAX6034BEXR21+T require an external output capacitor?
No, the MAX6034BEXR21+T is internally compensated and stable with load capacitance from 0 to 1µF - eliminating the need for an external output capacitor. This feature reduces BOM count and PCB area, which is especially valuable in ultra-compact designs like wearable sensors or miniature data loggers. Adding a capacitor (e.g., 100nF) may improve transient response but is never mandatory for stability.
What is the input voltage range for the MAX6034BEXR21+T?
The MAX6034BEXR21+T operates with an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V. For the 2.048V output version, the minimum input is defined by the dropout specification: VIN ≥ VOUT + 200mV = 2.248V, but the device is only guaranteed over 2.5V–5.5V per datasheet testing. Operation below 2.5V may yield uncharacterized performance and is not recommended for production designs.
How does the MAX6034BEXR21+T compare to the MAX6034AEXR21+T?
The MAX6034BEXR21+T has ±0.4% initial accuracy and 75ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, whereas the MAX6034AEXR21+T offers tighter ±0.2% accuracy and 30ppm/°C TC. Both share identical SC70-3 packaging, pinout, dropout voltage, supply current, and capacitive-load stability. The "B" grade trades precision for cost-effectiveness in applications where moderate accuracy suffices - such as non-critical sensor biasing or mid-resolution ADC references.
Is the MAX6034BEXR21+T suitable for automotive applications?
The MAX6034BEXR21+T is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and meets industrial temperature requirements, but it is not AEC-Q200 qualified or specified for automotive under-hood use. It is appropriate for automotive infotainment, telematics, or cabin-sensing modules operating within its temperature and reliability envelope - however, mission-critical powertrain or ADAS applications require automotive-grade qualified alternatives with extended temperature and stress-test validation.
