Product details
Overview
MAX6037AAUK30-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower voltage reference IC with fixed 3.0V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and active-low shutdown (≤500nA). It operates from 3.2V to 5.5V supply, delivers ±5mA load current, and is used in precision analog front-ends of portable medical devices and battery-powered wireless LAN modules.
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 is a series-mode bandgap voltage reference with internal trimming for high initial accuracy and low thermal drift. Its shutdown circuitry uses an active-low logic input (VENL ≤ 0.8V) to disable output and reduce supply current to ≤500nA while maintaining high output impedance (>300kΩ) in disabled state.
It features built-in capacitive-load stability across 0.02µF–1µF, supports sourcing and sinking up to 5mA with <410mV dropout at full load, and maintains line regulation of ≤0.0133%/V and load regulation of ≤0.2%/mA over its full operating temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.000V ±0.2% at +25°C - enables direct interface with 3V ADC references and precision regulators without external scaling. |
| Tempco | 25ppm/°C max - ensures ≤±0.015V output drift over -40°C to +125°C, critical for automotive sensor signal chains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV max at 1mA - allows operation from 3.1V supply, supporting single-cell Li-ion or regulated 3.3V rail margin. |
| Quiescent Current | 275µA max - enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable instrumentation with periodic wake-up cycles. |
| Shutdown Current | 500nA max - reduces system standby power by >500× versus active mode, essential for energy-harvesting nodes. |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking - directly drives ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, or DAC buffers without external gain stages. |
| Capacitive Stability | 0.02µF to 1µF - accommodates ceramic, tantalum, or polymer output caps; eliminates need for external compensation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6037AAUK30-T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 1.1mm height, optimized for high-density automotive and portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I.C.) | Internally connected | No external connection required; unused pin for fixed-output variants like MAX6037AAUK30-T. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and supply current; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low enable control | Pull ≤0.8V to disable output; tie to IN for always-on operation; compatible with 1.8V/3.3V logic-level microcontrollers. |
| 4 (IN) | Supply input | Accepts 3.2V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND near pin for PSRR optimization and transient immunity. |
| 5 (OUT) | Reference voltage output | Delivers stable 3.0V; connects to 0.02µF–1µF output capacitor to GND for stability and noise filtering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive temperature range | Specified from -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and infotainment applications without derating. |
| Low dropout at full load | 410mV max at 5mA source - sustains regulation even with aging batteries or undersized LDOs upstream. |
| High PSRR | -60dB typical at 1kHz - rejects ripple from switching regulators, reducing need for additional LC filtering. |
| Thermal hysteresis | 501ppm max - minimizes calibration drift after thermal cycling, improving long-term measurement repeatability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3430ARJZ-R7 | Fixed 3.0V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C tempco, but no shutdown function and higher 4.5µA quiescent current. | Lacks active shutdown - unsuitable for ultra-low-power wake-up architectures requiring sub-µA standby. | Select when highest initial accuracy and lowest tempco are prioritized over power gating capability. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of MAX6037AAUK30-T?
The MAX6037AAUK30-T requires a minimum input voltage of 3.2V to maintain regulation at 3.0V output, per its specified 0.2V headroom requirement. Below this, output accuracy degrades and dropout behavior becomes nonlinear. This ensures reliable operation from nominal 3.3V rails with typical 3% tolerance and aging effects.
Does MAX6037AAUK30-T require an external output capacitor, and what value range is supported?
Yes, MAX6037AAUK30-T requires an external output capacitor between OUT and GND, with a supported range of 0.02µF to 1µF. Ceramic capacitors within this range ensure stability across all operating conditions; values outside this window may cause oscillation or degraded transient response.
Can MAX6037AAUK30-T drive a 5mA load while maintaining its specified accuracy?
Yes, MAX6037AAUK30-T is rated to source and sink up to ±5mA while maintaining ≤0.2% output voltage deviation under load regulation testing. At 5mA, its maximum load regulation is 0.2%/mA, resulting in ≤1mV shift from nominal 3.0V - well within its ±6mV initial accuracy band.
How does the shutdown functionality of MAX6037AAUK30-T behave during power-up sequences?
When SHDN is held low during power-up, MAX6037AAUK30-T remains disabled until SHDN rises above 2.0V (VENH). Once enabled, turn-on settling time is 2.4ms to 0.1% of final 3.0V output with 0.02µF capacitor, ensuring predictable timing for microcontroller-controlled reference activation.
Is MAX6037AAUK30-T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6037 family?
Yes, all MAX6037 variants-including MAX6037AAUK30-T-share identical 5-pin SOT23-5 (U5-2) packaging and pinout. Pin 1 is internally connected (I.C.), pins 2–5 are GND, SHDN, IN, and OUT respectively, enabling drop-in replacement across fixed-output versions without PCB changes.
