Product details
Overview
MAX6037AAUK25 from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower series-mode voltage reference with fixed 2.5V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy (A grade), 25ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and active-low shutdown consuming ≤500nA. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input, delivers ±5mA load current, and supports capacitive loads from 0.02µF to 1µF - ideal for precision ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered medical sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037AAUK25 datasheet, MAX6037AAUK25 pinout, MAX6037AAUK25 application, or MAX6037AAUK25 equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role (precision 2.5V reference), package mapping (SOT23-5), thermal stability data, shutdown timing, and real-world load regulation behavior under automotive temperature conditions (-40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The MAX6037AAUK25 uses a bandgap-based series-mode architecture with internal trimming for high initial accuracy and low thermal drift. Its shutdown logic is active-low and fully specified across the full supply range (2.7V–5.5V), with guaranteed VENL ≤ 0.75V and VENH ≥ 2.0V.
It features a low-output-impedance buffer capable of sourcing/sinking 5mA while maintaining <0.036%/mA load regulation (1mA–5mA sourcing) and stable operation into 1µF ceramic capacitors - enabling direct interface with SAR ADC reference inputs and low-noise analog front-ends without external buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.2% at +25°C - enables 16-bit ADC full-scale accuracy without calibration |
| Tempco | ≤25ppm/°C - ensures ≤±312.5ppm (±0.00078V) drift over -40°C to +125°C |
| Quiescent Current | 190–275µA - allows >1-year runtime on coin-cell batteries in portable diagnostics |
| Shutdown Current | ≤500nA - reduces system standby power by >380× vs. active mode |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤100mV at 1mA - supports operation down to 2.6V input in Li-ion single-cell systems |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking - directly drives 12-bit DAC reference inputs and op-amp bias networks |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 14µVP-P - contributes <0.00056% of 2.5V FS, suitable for 16-bit precision systems |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3425BRJZ-R7 | 2.5V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C, 3.5µA quiescent current, no shutdown | Lacks shutdown; higher supply current limits battery life in intermittent-sampling systems | Choose when lowest tempco and highest initial accuracy are critical, and shutdown is not required |
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C, 50µA quiescent current, no shutdown | Higher tempco degrades 16-bit performance above 60°C; no shutdown disables low-power modes | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 50ppm/°C is acceptable and continuous operation is assumed |
Compared with ADR3425BRJZ-R7 and REF3025AIDBZR, MAX6037AAUK25 uniquely combines A-grade accuracy, automotive tempco, sub-µA shutdown, and SOT23-5 size - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-operated precision systems requiring guaranteed performance across extreme temperatures.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MAX6037AAUK25?
The MAX6037AAUK25 supports an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, as specified in its electrical characteristics table. Operation above 5.5V violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. The minimum input depends on output load but must exceed VOUT + 0.2V (i.e., ≥2.7V for 2.5V output).
Does MAX6037AAUK25 require an output capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, MAX6037AAUK25 requires an output capacitor for stability. The datasheet specifies a stable capacitive-load range of 0.02µF to 1µF. A 0.1µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of the OUT and GND pins is the recommended default for general-purpose use and noise reduction.
How does the shutdown function work on MAX6037AAUK25?
MAX6037AAUK25 features an active-low shutdown input (SHDN pin). Pulling SHDN ≤0.75V disables the reference output and reduces supply current to ≤500nA. For normal operation, connect SHDN to the IN supply rail (≥2.7V). The logic thresholds are guaranteed across the full operating temperature range.
Can MAX6037AAUK25 drive a 10kΩ load directly?
Yes. With a 2.5V output and ±5mA load capability, MAX6037AAUK25 can drive a 10kΩ load (250µA) with negligible error - well within its 0.036%/mA load regulation spec. Output voltage deviation will be <0.009mV, far below 16-bit LSB (38.1µV) at 2.5V full scale.
Is MAX6037AAUK25 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes. MAX6037AAUK25 is explicitly specified over the −40°C to +125°C operating temperature range and packaged in a lead-free SOT23-5 (U5-2) with automotive-grade reliability testing per Maxim's qualification standards - making it suitable for cabin electronics, ADAS sensors, and body control modules.
