Product details
Overview
MAX6037BAUK25 from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower voltage reference IC with fixed 2.5V output, ±0.3% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 100mV max dropout at 1mA, and active-low shutdown consuming ≤500nA. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V supply and delivers ±5mA load current-ideal for precision ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered medical sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037BAUK25 datasheet, MAX6037BAUK25 pinout, MAX6037BAUK25 application, or MAX6037BAUK25 equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C) operation, SOT23-5 package compatibility, capacitive-load stability (0.02µF–1µF), and shutdown logic thresholds (VENL ≤ 0.75V, VENH ≥ 2.0V).
Technical Context
The MAX6037BAUK25 is a series-mode bandgap voltage reference with internal trimming for 2.5V nominal output. Its shutdown circuitry uses an active-low CMOS input that disables the reference core and reduces quiescent current to sub-500nA while raising output impedance to >250kΩ.
It features a low-noise architecture (30µVRMS, 10Hz–1kHz), stable performance across 0.02µF–1µF output capacitance, and load regulation of ≤0.036%/mA sourcing up to 5mA-enabling direct interface with SAR ADC references and low-power microcontroller analog peripherals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.3% at +25°C - ensures accurate 12-bit+ ADC full-scale reference without calibration. |
| Tempco | ≤50ppm/°C - limits drift to <±625µV over -40°C to +125°C, critical for automotive sensor signal chains. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤100mV at 1mA - supports operation down to 2.6V supply, enabling use with single Li-ion or dual alkaline cells. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤275µA - extends battery life in portable ECG monitors and wireless pulse oximeters. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤500nA - reduces standby power by >500×, essential for energy-harvesting IoT nodes. |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking - directly drives ADC reference inputs and op-amp bias networks without buffering. |
| Capacitive Stability | 0.02µF to 1µF - accommodates ceramic decoupling and eliminates need for external compensation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6037BAUK25 is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code, top mark AEJG), with exposed pad not connected. Pin 1 is ADJ (internally connected, no external connection), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is SHDN (active-low), Pin 4 is IN (2.7V–5.5V supply), and Pin 5 is OUT (2.5V reference output).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (ADJ) | Internal connection | No external connection required; reserved for adjustable variants only. |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Must be low-impedance path to system ground; separates reference from digital noise. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low enable control | Pull ≤0.75V to disable output; tie to IN for always-on operation. |
| 4 (IN) | Supply input | Requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND; minimum 2.7V for 2.5V output. |
| 5 (OUT) | Precision reference output | Delivers 2.5V ±0.3%; connect 0.02–1µF capacitor to GND for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive temperature range | Specified from -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and cabin electronics without derating. |
| Low dropout voltage | 100mV max at 1mA - enables operation with minimal headroom, reducing LDO overhead in multi-rail systems. |
| Shutdown leakage suppression | 500nA max shutdown current - preserves battery charge during sleep modes in portable diagnostics. |
| Capacitive-load tolerance | Stable with 0.02µF–1µF ceramic capacitors - eliminates need for tantalum or special ESR requirements. |
| High PSRR | ≥60dB at 1kHz - rejects switching regulator ripple, improving ADC effective resolution in noisy power domains. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MAX6037BAUK25?
The MAX6037BAUK25 supports a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V may cause permanent damage, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings. Operation above 5.5V violates design limits and risks junction failure.
Does MAX6037BAUK25 require an output capacitor?
Yes, MAX6037BAUK25 requires an output capacitor between OUT and GND, sized from 0.02µF to 1µF, for stability. Ceramic capacitors are recommended. Omitting it may cause oscillation or degraded load regulation performance.
Can MAX6037BAUK25 drive a 10kΩ load directly?
Yes, MAX6037BAUK25 can drive a 10kΩ load directly: at 2.5V output, this draws only 250µA, well within its ±5mA sourcing/sinking capability and maintaining output accuracy per load regulation specs (≤0.036%/mA).
What is the logic threshold for the SHDN pin on MAX6037BAUK25?
The SHDN pin on MAX6037BAUK25 has a logic-low threshold (VENL) of ≤0.75V and logic-high threshold (VENH) of ≥2.0V, valid when VIN is 2.7V–5.5V. This ensures reliable interfacing with 3.3V and 5V GPIOs.
Is MAX6037BAUK25 pin-compatible with other MAX6037 variants?
Yes, all MAX6037 variants-including MAX6037BAUK25-share identical 5-pin SOT23-5 packaging and pinout (IN, GND, SHDN, OUT, ADJ). Only the ADJ pin function differs: internally connected in fixed-output versions like MAX6037BAUK25.
