Product details
Overview
MAX6037AAUK41+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower series-mode voltage reference with fixed 4.096V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy (A grade), 25ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and active-low shutdown. It operates from 4.3V to 5.5V supply, draws ≤275µA quiescent current, supports ±5mA load current, and delivers stable output into 0.02µF–1µF capacitive loads - ideal for precision ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037AAUK41+T datasheet, MAX6037AAUK41+T pinout, MAX6037AAUK41+T application, or MAX6037AAUK41+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade -40°C to +125°C operation, 100mV max dropout at 1mA, shutdown current <500nA, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained portable and medical systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6037AAUK41+T implements a bandgap-based series-mode reference architecture with internal trimming for high initial accuracy and low thermal drift. Its shutdown control path uses an active-low logic input referenced to supply voltage, enabling deep sleep states without external circuitry.
It features supply-independent quiescent current across its 4.3V–5.5V input range and maintains output stability over full load (±5mA) and capacitive-load (0.02µF–1µF) variations - critical for high-resolution data acquisition where reference noise and settling time directly impact effective resolution.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.2% (max initial error at +25°C) - enables direct interface with 12-bit to 16-bit ADCs requiring precise VREF |
| Tempco | 25ppm/°C (max) - ensures ≤±0.5mV drift over -40°C to +125°C, supporting automotive sensor signal chains |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV (max at 1mA load) - allows operation with minimal headroom above VOUT, extending battery life in 4.2V Li-ion systems |
| Quiescent Current | 275µA (max) - enables continuous operation in always-on monitoring nodes with µA-level power budgets |
| Shutdown Current | 500nA (max) - reduces system standby power by >500× versus active mode, critical for energy-harvesting devices |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking - supports direct driving of SAR ADC reference inputs and small analog buffers without external op-amps |
| Capacitive Stability | 0.02µF to 1µF output capacitance - accommodates ceramic decoupling and eliminates need for external compensation |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6037AAUK41+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code, top mark AEJG), 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 (active-low), Pin 4 is IN, and Pin 5 is OUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (ADJ) | Adjustment Input | Internally connected for fixed-output variants like MAX6037AAUK41+T; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for reference output and supply current; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-Low Enable | Pull low (<0.8V) to disable output and reduce supply current to <500nA; tie to IN for always-on operation |
| 4 (IN) | Supply Input | Accepts 4.3V–5.5V input; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND close to pin for noise immunity |
| 5 (OUT) | Reference Output | Delivers regulated 4.096V; connect 0.02µF–1µF capacitor to GND for stability and transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MAX6037AAUK41+T?
The MAX6037AAUK41+T supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5V, with minimum supply voltage specified at 4.3V for reliable operation at its 4.096V output. Exceeding 5.5V risks permanent damage per absolute maximum ratings. The device's line regulation remains stable across this full 4.3V–5.5V range, ensuring consistent reference accuracy regardless of battery voltage sag or supply ripple.
Does MAX6037AAUK41+T require an external output capacitor?
Yes, the MAX6037AAUK41+T requires an external output capacitor between OUT and GND, with a recommended value between 0.02µF and 1µF. Ceramic capacitors are preferred for low ESR. This capacitor ensures stability, improves transient response during load steps, and reduces output noise - omission can cause oscillation or excessive settling time, especially under dynamic load conditions.
How does the shutdown function operate on MAX6037AAUK41+T?
The MAX6037AAUK41+T features an active-low shutdown input (SHDN, Pin 3). Pulling SHDN below 0.8V (logic-low) disables the reference output and reduces supply current to ≤500nA. For normal operation, SHDN must be tied to IN (supply voltage). The shutdown transition time is specified at 3.2ms for entering shutdown and 3.2ms for exiting, ensuring predictable power-state control in microcontroller-managed systems.
What is the output impedance of MAX6037AAUK41+T when disabled?
When disabled via SHDN, the MAX6037AAUK41+T exhibits an output impedance of ≥410kΩ (typical 410kΩ, min not specified). This high impedance isolates the reference node during shutdown, preventing loading of downstream circuits and avoiding unintended current paths. It also minimizes leakage into ADC reference inputs or comparator thresholds during sleep modes.
Can MAX6037AAUK41+T drive a 5mA load continuously?
Yes, the MAX6037AAUK41+T is rated to source and sink up to ±5mA continuously while maintaining output regulation within specifications. At 5mA sourcing, dropout voltage remains ≤410mV (tested at VOUT = 5V), and load regulation is ≤0.212%/mA. For sustained 5mA operation, ensure adequate PCB copper area and ambient temperature stay within -40°C to +125°C to avoid thermal derating of accuracy or reliability.
