Product details
Overview
MAX6037AAUK25+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower, fixed-output voltage reference delivering 2.500V with ±0.2% initial accuracy and 25ppm/°C max temperature coefficient. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V supply, draws ≤275µA quiescent current, supports ±5mA load current, and features active-low shutdown (≤500nA). It serves as a precision reference in battery-powered data converters and automotive sensor signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037AAUK25+T datasheet, MAX6037AAUK25+T pinout, MAX6037AAUK25+T application, or MAX6037AAUK25+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its A-grade accuracy (±0.2%), automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), SOT23-5 package compatibility, and low dropout (100mV max at 1mA) for low-voltage systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6037AAUK25+T is a series-mode bandgap voltage reference with internal trimming for high initial accuracy and low thermal drift. Its architecture enables stable operation with capacitive loads from 0.02µF to 1µF and supports both sourcing and sinking up to 5mA without regulation loss.
Shutdown is implemented via an active-low logic input (SHDN) that disables the output stage and reduces supply current to ≤500nA. The device maintains output impedance >10MΩ when disabled and exhibits <514ppm thermal hysteresis over temperature cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.2% (±5mV) at +25°C - ensures ADC/DAC full-scale accuracy in 12-bit+ systems |
| Tempco | 25ppm/°C max - limits output drift to ±312.5ppm (±0.78mV) across –40°C to +125°C |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV max at 1mA load - enables operation with VIN as low as 2.6V while maintaining regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 275µA max - supports multi-year battery life in always-on portable instrumentation |
| Shutdown Current | 500nA max - reduces system standby power by >500× vs. active mode |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking - directly interfaces with op-amp inputs, SAR ADC references, and analog switches |
| Capacitive Load Range | 0.02µF to 1µF - compatible with standard ceramic bypass caps without oscillation risk |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6037AAUK25+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is ADJ (internally connected, no external connection required for fixed-output variants); pins 2–5 are GND, SHDN, IN, and OUT respectively.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (ADJ) | Adjustment terminal | Internally connected for fixed-output variants like MAX6037AAUK25+T; must remain unconnected |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and supply current; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low enable control | Pull low (≤0.75V) to disable output; tie to IN for always-on operation |
| 4 (IN) | Supply input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stability |
| 5 (OUT) | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated 2.500V; connect 0.02µF–1µF capacitor to GND for transient response and noise filtering |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| A-grade accuracy | ±0.2% initial tolerance enables direct use in 12-bit ADC reference without calibration |
| Automotive temp range | –40°C to +125°C operation qualifies for under-hood and ADAS sensor front-ends |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5V, ±0.2%, 50ppm/°C max, 50µA IQ, SOT23-3, no shutdown | Lacks shutdown; lower quiescent current but higher tempco; smaller footprint | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over tempco and shutdown is unnecessary |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5V, ±0.1%, 10ppm/°C max, 120µA IQ, SOT23-5, no shutdown | Higher accuracy and lower tempco, but no shutdown function; higher cost | Select when highest stability is critical and system-level power gating replaces IC shutdown |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance and temperature coefficient of the MAX6037AAUK25+T?
The MAX6037AAUK25+T provides a nominal 2.500V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy (±5mV) at +25°C and a maximum temperature coefficient of 25ppm/°C across –40°C to +125°C. This ensures total output variation remains within ±0.78mV over the full automotive temperature range, supporting high-resolution data acquisition without recalibration.
Can the MAX6037AAUK25+T be used with a 2.7V supply?
Yes, the MAX6037AAUK25+T operates with a minimum supply voltage of 2.7V (per Electrical Characteristics table for VOUT = 2.500V), delivering full specification performance including ±0.2% accuracy and 25ppm/°C tempco. At 2.7V input, the 100mV max dropout leaves 2.6V at the output - sufficient to maintain regulation under all load and temperature conditions.
How does the shutdown function work on the MAX6037AAUK25+T?
The MAX6037AAUK25+T features an active-low SHDN pin (Pin 3). Pulling SHDN ≤0.75V disables the output and reduces supply current to ≤500nA. For normal operation, SHDN must be tied to the IN pin. The device exits shutdown in ≤75µs (typical) when SHDN rises above 2.0V, enabling fast wake-up in duty-cycled systems.
Is the MAX6037AAUK25+T compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the MAX6037AAUK25+T is explicitly characterized for stable operation with ceramic capacitors ranging from 0.02µF to 1µF on the OUT pin. No series resistance or additional compensation is required, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count compared to references needing tantalum or electrolytic capacitors.
What is the maximum load current the MAX6037AAUK25+T can source or sink?
The MAX6037AAUK25+T can continuously source or sink up to ±5mA while maintaining output regulation within specifications. At 5mA sourcing, dropout remains ≤410mV (tested at VOUT = 5V), and load regulation is ≤0.036%/mA - ensuring minimal voltage shift even under full dynamic load in precision analog circuits.
