Product details
Overview
MAX6037AAUK30+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower series-mode voltage reference with fixed 3.0V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy (A grade), 25ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and active-low shutdown. It operates from 3.2V to 5.5V supply, draws ≤275µA quiescent current, supports ±5mA load current, and delivers stable reference performance in battery-powered precision analog systems such as portable medical sensors and wireless LAN transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037AAUK30+T datasheet, MAX6037AAUK30+T pinout, MAX6037AAUK30+T application, or MAX6037AAUK30+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade -40°C to +125°C operation, 100mV max dropout at 1mA, 0.02µF–1µF capacitive-load stability, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6037AAUK30+T implements a bandgap-based series-mode reference architecture with internal trimming for high initial accuracy and low thermal drift. Its shutdown circuitry uses an active-low logic input (SHDN) that reduces supply current to ≤500nA while raising output impedance to ≥300kΩ when disabled.
It features built-in capacitive-load compensation supporting 0.02µF to 1µF output capacitance without external compensation, and maintains regulation across full load range (±5mA) with <0.035%/mA load regulation and <0.0133%/V line regulation over its specified input voltage range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.000V ±0.2% at +25°C - enables direct replacement of 3V references in ADC/DAC biasing and sensor excitation circuits. |
| Tempco | ≤25ppm/°C (A grade) - ensures ≤±0.075% output drift over -40°C to +125°C automotive range. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤100mV at 1mA load - allows operation with only 3.1V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V rail-sourced systems. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤275µA - supports multi-year battery life in always-on portable instrumentation. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤500nA - reduces standby power by >500×, enabling ultra-low-power wake-up architectures. |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking - eliminates need for external buffer in driving SAR ADC reference inputs or op-amp feedback networks. |
| Capacitive Stability | 0.02µF to 1µF - accommodates ceramic, tantalum, or polymer output caps without oscillation risk. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6037AAUK30+T is housed in a lead-free 5-pin SOT23-5 package (package code U5-2, top mark AEJH), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is ADJ (internally connected, no external connection required for fixed-output variants), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is SHDN, Pin 4 is IN, and Pin 5 is OUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (ADJ) | Adjustment Input | Internally connected; no external connection needed for fixed-output MAX6037AAUK30+T - must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
| 2 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal bias currents; requires low-impedance PCB ground plane connection. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-Low Shutdown Control | Pull ≤0.8V to disable output and reduce supply current to ≤500nA; tie to IN for normal operation. |
| 4 (IN) | Supply Input | Accepts 3.2V–5.5V input; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND close to pin for noise rejection and transient stability. |
| 5 (OUT) | Precision Reference Output | Delivers regulated 3.0V; requires 0.02µF–1µF output capacitor to GND for stability and low-noise performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive Temperature Range | Specified from -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and industrial control applications without derating. |
| Low Dropout Operation | 100mV max at 1mA - enables use with 3.3V supplies even under worst-case voltage drop conditions. |
| High Initial Accuracy | ±0.2% (A grade) - reduces calibration overhead in 12-bit to 16-bit data acquisition systems. |
| Ultra-Low Shutdown Current | ≤500nA - supports energy harvesting and coin-cell-powered IoT edge nodes with multi-year shelf life. |
| Capacitor-Driven Stability | Stable with 0.02µF–1µF output capacitance - eliminates need for external compensation components in compact designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MAX6037AAUK30+T?
The MAX6037AAUK30+T supports a supply voltage range of 3.2V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V at the IN pin violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. The minimum input voltage of 3.2V ensures proper regulation at the 3.0V output with margin for dropout and line variation. Always use a 0.1µF bypass capacitor between IN and GND.
Does MAX6037AAUK30+T require an external capacitor on the output pin?
Yes, the MAX6037AAUK30+T requires an output capacitor between OUT and GND for stability, with a recommended range of 0.02µF to 1µF. Ceramic capacitors are preferred for low ESR. Omitting this capacitor risks oscillation and degraded noise performance. The device is internally compensated for this range and does not require additional series resistance.
Can MAX6037AAUK30+T be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6037AAUK30+T is fully specified for the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is qualified per AEC-Q100 stress test requirements. Its 25ppm/°C max tempco, ±0.2% initial accuracy, and robust shutdown behavior make it suitable for body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and sensor interfaces in automotive ECUs.
What is the typical turn-on settling time for MAX6037AAUK30+T?
The MAX6037AAUK30+T achieves 0.1% final output voltage in 2.4ms (typical) when powered from 5V with COUT = 0.02µF and SHDN pulled high. This value is measured from the rising edge of SHDN to VOUT reaching 2.997V–3.003V. Settling time increases slightly with larger output capacitance or lower input voltage.
How does the shutdown function affect output impedance in MAX6037AAUK30+T?
When MAX6037AAUK30+T is in shutdown (SHDN ≤0.8V), its output impedance rises to ≥300kΩ, effectively isolating the reference node from downstream circuitry. This high impedance prevents loading of the 3.0V output during system sleep modes and avoids unintended current paths, preserving battery life and ensuring clean wake-up transitions.
