Product details
Overview
MAX6037BAUK12-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower series voltage reference with fixed 1.25V output, ±0.3% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and active-low shutdown (≤500nA). It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V supply, delivers ±5mA load current, and is used in precision ADC/DAC biasing, portable medical sensors, and automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037BAUK12-T datasheet, MAX6037BAUK12-T pinout, MAX6037BAUK12-T application, or MAX6037BAUK12-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.25V reference stability over -40°C to +125°C, 100mV dropout at 1mA, 275µA max quiescent current, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6037BAUK12-T is a series-mode bandgap voltage reference with internal trimming for fixed 1.25V output. Its shutdown circuitry uses an active-low logic input (VENL ≤ 0.7V) to reduce supply current to ≤500nA while maintaining high-impedance output (ZOUT > 125kΩ when disabled).
It features low dynamic error: 0.008%/mA load regulation (sourcing), 0.025%/mA (sinking), and 0.0006%/V line regulation across 2.5V–5.5V input. Output remains stable with capacitive loads from 0.02µF to 1µF, supporting direct interface with SAR ADC sample capacitors and low-ESR ceramic bypassing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.25V ±0.3% at +25°C - ensures accurate full-scale calibration for 12-bit systems requiring ≤3.75mV absolute error |
| Tempco | 50ppm/°C max - contributes ≤0.625mV drift over -40°C to +125°C, suitable for automotive under-hood applications |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV max at 1mA - enables operation from 1.35V supply, critical for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell powered devices |
| Quiescent Current | 275µA max - supports >1-year battery life in 10µA average-power IoT sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 500nA max - reduces standby power by 550× vs active mode, enabling ultra-low-power wake-on-event architectures |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking - directly drives ADC reference inputs, op-amp feedback networks, and small MOSFET gates without buffering |
| Capacitive Stability | 0.02µF to 1µF - compatible with standard 0.1µF ceramic decoupling and eliminates need for external compensation |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6037BAUK12-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 automated placement and thermal performance in dense PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I.C.) | Internally connected | No external connection required; unused pin for fixed-output variants only |
| 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 ≤0.7V to disable output and reduce supply current to ≤500nA; tie to IN for always-on operation |
| 4 (IN) | Supply input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND close to pin for PSRR optimization |
| 5 (OUT) | Reference voltage output | Delivers stable 1.25V; connect 0.02µF–1µF capacitor to GND for transient stability and noise filtering |
Key Features

|---|---|
| Automotive-grade temp range | Specified from -40°C to +125°C - qualified for engine control modules, ADAS camera power rails, and transmission sensors |
| Low-output impedance | Typical 0.2Ω output resistance - minimizes voltage shift under dynamic load steps, critical for high-speed data acquisition |
| Fast turn-on settling | 75µs to 0.1% of final value - enables rapid power cycling in duty-cycled sensor systems without reference stabilization delay |
| High PSRR | ≥60dB at 1kHz - rejects switching regulator ripple and digital supply noise before entering precision analog signal chains |
| Thermal hysteresis | 485ppm max - ensures repeatable reference voltage after thermal cycling, essential for factory calibration repeatability |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX6037BAUK12-T over temperature?
The MAX6037BAUK12-T has a guaranteed initial accuracy of ±0.3% at +25°C and a maximum temperature coefficient of 50ppm/°C. Over the full -40°C to +125°C range, total output variation is bounded by initial error plus tempco-induced drift, resulting in worst-case deviation of approximately ±0.5% relative to nominal 1.25V. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for MAX6037B_12 under "Output Voltage" and "Output-Voltage Temperature Coefficient" parameters.
Can the MAX6037BAUK12-T drive a 1000pF capacitive load without oscillation?
Yes, the MAX6037BAUK12-T is specified for stable operation with output capacitance from 0.02µF to 1µF (20nF to 1000nF), explicitly covering 1000pF. The device's internal compensation ensures phase margin remains sufficient across this range, eliminating need for external series resistance or isolation components in typical layout configurations.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the MAX6037BAUK12-T to regulate at 1.25V?
The minimum input voltage for the MAX6037BAUK12-T is 2.5V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This is independent of output voltage due to its series architecture and internal headroom requirements. At 1mA load, dropout is ≤100mV, so VIN ≥ 1.35V would theoretically suffice-but the datasheet guarantees regulation only above 2.5V, and operation below that is not characterized or recommended.
How does the shutdown functionality affect output impedance in the MAX6037BAUK12-T?
When the MAX6037BAUK12-T is in shutdown (SHDN ≤ 0.7V), the output stage is disabled and the OUT pin presents a high-impedance state of ≥125kΩ, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Impedance when Disabled". This prevents loading of downstream circuits and avoids unintended current paths during sleep modes, preserving system-level power integrity.
Is the MAX6037BAUK12-T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6037 family?
Yes, all MAX6037 variants-including MAX6037BAUK12-T, MAX6037AAUK12+T, and MAX6037CAUK12+T-share identical 5-pin SOT23-5 (U5-2) packaging and pinout. The only differences are initial accuracy (0.2%/0.3%/0.5%), temperature coefficient (25ppm/°C or 50ppm/°C), and top-mark codes (AEIV/AEIW/AEIX). No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading or downgrading within the same output voltage grade.
