Product details
Overview
MAX6037BAUK12+T from Maxim Integrated is a 1.25V fixed-output, low-dropout micropower voltage reference with active-low shutdown, ±0.3% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 100mV max dropout at 1mA, and 275µA max quiescent current. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V supply and delivers ±5mA load current, serving as a precision analog reference in battery-powered medical sensors and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037BAUK12+T datasheet, MAX6037BAUK12+T pinout, MAX6037BAUK12+T application, or MAX6037BAUK12+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade -40°C to +125°C operation, SOT23-5 package footprint, sub-500nA shutdown current, and compatibility with 0.02µF–1µF output capacitors for stable regulation in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6037BAUK12+T is a series-mode bandgap voltage reference with internal trimming for 1.25V output. Its shutdown circuitry uses an active-low SHDN input that reduces supply current to ≤500nA while raising output impedance to >10MΩ when disabled.
It features a low-impedance buffered output capable of sourcing/sinking ±5mA, supports capacitive loads from 0.02µF to 1µF without oscillation, and maintains output stability across input voltages from 2.5V to 5.5V - with line regulation as tight as 0.0006%/V and load regulation ≤0.12%/mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.25V ±0.3% (max) at +25°C - ensures consistent ADC/DAC biasing across production units |
| Tempco | 50ppm/°C (max) - limits drift to ±625µV over -40°C to +125°C range |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV (max) at 1mA - enables operation with VIN as low as 1.35V for 1.25V output |
| Quiescent Current | 275µA (max) - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 500nA (max) - reduces standby power by >500× vs active mode |
| Load Drive | ±5mA - supports direct interface to op-amp inputs, SAR ADC references, and small logic rails |
| Capacitive Load Range | 0.02µF to 1µF - accommodates ceramic or tantalum output caps without compensation |
Pinout & Package
MAX6037BAUK12+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is internally connected (I.C.) and must remain unconnected; it is not used for adjustment - this part is fixed-output only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I.C.) | Internally connected | No external connection required; unused pin for fixed-output variants |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and supply current; requires low-inductance connection |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low shutdown control | Pull ≤0.7V to disable output and reduce current to ≤500nA; tie to IN for always-on operation |
| 4 (IN) | Supply input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND for noise rejection |
| 5 (OUT) | Precision reference output | Delivers stable 1.25V; connect 0.02µF–1µF capacitor to GND for transient stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive temperature range | Specified from -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and industrial control applications |
| Low dropout voltage | 100mV max at 1mA - enables use with single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or coin-cell (2.5V min) supplies |
| High output drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking - eliminates need for external buffer in most data-acquisition signal chains |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | ≤500nA - allows multi-year battery operation in intermittent-sampling IoT endpoints |
| Capacitor-stable operation | Stable with 0.02µF–1µF output capacitance - supports miniature 0201/0402 MLCCs without external compensation |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Wireless Sensor Nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6037AAUK12+T | Higher grade: ±0.2% initial accuracy and 25ppm/°C tempco vs. B-grade's ±0.3% and 50ppm/°C | Suitable where tighter long-term stability or wider temperature margin is required (e.g., lab-grade instrumentation) | Select when system-level accuracy budget demands <±0.1% total error over temperature and time |
| ADR3412ARJZ-R7 | Fixed 1.2V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C tempco, 190µA typical IQ, SOT23-5 | Lower output voltage; optimized for 1.2V systems (e.g., FPGA core voltage monitoring) | Choose if 1.2V reference suffices and lower tempco is prioritized over shutdown functionality |
Compared with MAX6037BAUK12+T, the AA-grade offers tighter accuracy at higher cost, while ADR3412 provides superior tempco and lower IQ but lacks shutdown and delivers 1.2V instead of 1.25V - making it unsuitable for legacy 1.25V ADC reference designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MAX6037BAUK12+T?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MAX6037BAUK12+T is +6V, but the recommended operating range is 2.5V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V risks permanent damage, and operation below 2.5V may cause output instability or failure to regulate. The device is specified for reliable 1.25V output across this full 2.5V–5.5V range with guaranteed line regulation performance.
Does MAX6037BAUK12+T require an external capacitor on the output?
Yes, MAX6037BAUK12+T requires an output capacitor between OUT and GND, sized from 0.02µF to 1µF, to ensure stability under all load and supply conditions. Ceramic capacitors are recommended for lowest ESR; values outside this range may cause oscillation or degraded transient response. No series resistor or additional compensation is needed.
Can MAX6037BAUK12+T be used in place of MAX6037AAUK12+T?
MAX6037BAUK12+T can be substituted for MAX6037AAUK12+T in non-critical applications where ±0.3% initial accuracy and 50ppm/°C tempco meet system requirements. However, it is not a drop-in replacement for designs relying on the A-grade's tighter ±0.2% accuracy and 25ppm/°C spec - such as high-resolution 18-bit data acquisition systems where reference error directly impacts ENOB.
What is the typical turn-on settling time for MAX6037BAUK12+T?
The typical turn-on settling time for MAX6037BAUK12+T is 75µs to within 0.1% of final 1.25V output when COUT = 0.02µF and VIN steps from 0V to 3V with SHDN pulled high. This fast wake-up supports burst-mode sensing applications. Settling time increases with larger output capacitance - e.g., ~2.1ms with 1µF.
Is pin 1 (ADJ/I.C.) connected internally in MAX6037BAUK12+T?
Yes, pin 1 of MAX6037BAUK12+T is labeled "I.C." (Internally Connected) in the datasheet and must remain unconnected. Unlike the MAX6037_ADJ variant, this fixed 1.25V version has no adjustment function - the ADJ node is tied internally and inaccessible. Connecting anything to pin 1 may compromise performance or reliability.
