Product details
Overview
MAX6037AAUK33+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower, fixed-output voltage reference delivering 3.300V with ±0.2% initial accuracy and 25ppm/°C max temperature coefficient. It operates from 3.5V to 5.5V supply, consumes ≤275µA quiescent current, supports ±5mA load current, and features active-low shutdown (≤500nA). It serves precision analog signal chains in battery-powered wireless LAN modules and portable medical sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037AAUK33+T datasheet, MAX6037AAUK33+T pinout, MAX6037AAUK33+T application, or MAX6037AAUK33+T equivalent, key selection criteria include output stability under capacitive loads (0.02–1µF), dropout voltage ≤100mV at 1mA, automotive-grade operation (−40°C to +125°C), and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6037AAUK33+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 the output and reduce supply current to sub-500nA, enabling ultra-low-power sleep modes in portable systems.
It maintains regulation across input voltages from 3.5V to 5.5V and delivers stable 3.300V output into capacitive loads up to 1µF without oscillation-critical for ADC reference rails and precision regulator feedback paths where noise and settling time directly impact measurement fidelity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±0.2% (±6.6mV) at +25°C - ensures direct compatibility with 3.3V logic and ADC reference inputs requiring tight absolute accuracy. |
| Tempco | 25ppm/°C max - limits output drift to ≤±990µV over −40°C to +125°C, meeting 16-bit ADC full-scale error budgets. |
| Quiescent Current | 275µA max - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes powered by coin cells or Li-SOCl₂ batteries. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV max at 1mA load - allows operation from 3.4V input, supporting brownout resilience in 3.3V system rails. |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking - drives ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and DAC feedback resistors without external buffers. |
| Capacitive Load Range | 0.02µF to 1µF - accommodates standard ceramic decoupling and low-ESR polymer caps without stability compensation. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and outdoor IoT deployments. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6037AAUK33+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code), with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and 1.45mm height, optimized for high-density PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I.C.) | Internally connected | No external connection required; unused pin internally tied off for fixed-output variants like MAX6037AAUK33+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 shutdown control | Pull ≤0.8V to disable output and reduce supply current to ≤500nA; tie to IN for always-on operation. |
| 4 (IN) | Supply voltage input | Accepts 3.5V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND close to pin for PSRR and transient immunity. |
| 5 (OUT) | Reference voltage output | Delivers regulated 3.300V; connect 0.02–1µF capacitor to GND for stability and low-noise performance. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX6037AAUK33+T at +25°C?
The MAX6037AAUK33+T has a fixed output voltage of 3.300V with ±0.2% initial accuracy at +25°C, corresponding to a tolerance band of 3.2934V to 3.3066V. This specification is guaranteed for the 'A' grade variant and verified per Maxim's production test flow. The MAX6037AAUK33+T maintains this accuracy across its full operating temperature range when combined with its 25ppm/°C tempco rating.
Does the MAX6037AAUK33+T require an external capacitor on the output pin?
Yes, the MAX6037AAUK33+T requires an output capacitor between OUT and GND for stability, with a recommended range of 0.02µF to 1µF. Ceramic capacitors (X7R/X5R) are preferred due to low ESR. The device remains stable across this entire range without additional compensation components-enabling flexible, low-cost decoupling in compact layouts. The MAX6037AAUK33+T datasheet confirms stability down to 0.02µF, critical for space-constrained applications.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the MAX6037AAUK33+T to regulate at 3.3V?
The MAX6037AAUK33+T requires a minimum input voltage of 3.5V to maintain regulation at its nominal 3.300V output. This is derived from the specified input voltage range of 3.5V to 5.5V for the 3.3V variant, ensuring sufficient headroom for the 100mV maximum dropout voltage at 1mA load. Operating below 3.5V risks loss of regulation and increased output error, particularly at elevated temperatures or higher load currents.
How does the shutdown feature of the MAX6037AAUK33+T function electrically?
The MAX6037AAUK33+T features an active-low shutdown input (SHDN, Pin 3) that disables the output and reduces supply current to ≤500nA when pulled to ≤0.8V. Logic-high (≥2.0V) enables normal operation. Input leakage is ≤±1000nA across temperature, allowing direct interfacing with GPIOs or open-drain controllers without external pull-ups. During shutdown, the output is high-impedance, and the MAX6037AAUK33+T draws negligible current-ideal for energy harvesting and duty-cycled sensor nodes.
Is the MAX6037AAUK33+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6037AAUK33+T is specified for operation across the full automotive temperature range of −40°C to +125°C and is packaged in an AEC-Q100 qualified SOT23-5 (U5-2) package. Its electrical parameters-including output accuracy, tempco, dropout voltage, and shutdown current-are guaranteed over this range. The MAX6037AAUK33+T is commonly deployed in cabin control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces where reliability under thermal stress is mandatory.
