Product details
Overview
MAX6037BAUK25+T 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 portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037BAUK25+T datasheet, MAX6037BAUK25+T pinout, MAX6037BAUK25+T application, or MAX6037BAUK25+T equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role (precision series voltage reference), package mapping (5-pin SOT23), thermal performance (–40°C to +125°C automotive grade), stability specs (0.02µF–1µF capacitive-load range), and validated alternatives for 2.5V reference designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6037BAUK25+T is a series-mode bandgap voltage reference with internal trimming for fixed 2.5V output. Its architecture enables low quiescent current (210–275µA) and high PSRR (>60dB at 1kHz), supporting stable operation under varying input voltage (line regulation ≤0.012%/V) and load conditions (load regulation ≤0.036%/mA sourcing).
Shutdown is implemented via an active-low logic input (SHDN) that disables the reference core and raises output impedance to >250kΩ while reducing supply current to ≤500nA. The device requires no external components for basic operation but mandates 0.02µF–1µF output capacitance for stability across temperature and load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.3% at +25°C - ensures accurate full-scale calibration for 12-bit to 14-bit data converters |
| Tempco | 50ppm/°C max - limits drift to ≤125ppm over –40°C to +125°C, critical for automotive sensor signal chains |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV max at 1mA - enables operation with only 2.6V input, extending battery life in single-cell Li-ion systems |
| Quiescent Current | 210–275µA - supports multi-year operation in energy-harvesting and IoT endpoint nodes |
| Shutdown Current | ≤500nA - reduces standby power by >400×, essential for always-on wake-up circuits |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking - directly drives ADC reference inputs and op-amp bias networks without buffering |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance and temperature coefficient of MAX6037BAUK25+T?
MAX6037BAUK25+T provides a fixed 2.500V output with ±0.3% initial accuracy at +25°C and a maximum temperature coefficient of 50ppm/°C over –40°C to +125°C. This ensures total output variation remains within ±0.125% across the full automotive temperature range, supporting reliable calibration in precision measurement systems.
Does MAX6037BAUK25+T require an external output capacitor, and what value range is supported?
Yes, MAX6037BAUK25+T requires an external output capacitor for stability, with a specified range of 0.02µF to 1µF. Ceramic capacitors within this range ensure adequate phase margin and transient response; values below 0.02µF risk oscillation, while values above 1µF may degrade startup time without improving stability.
How does the shutdown feature of MAX6037BAUK25+T operate, and what is its leakage behavior?
MAX6037BAUK25+T features an active-low SHDN pin: pulling it ≤0.75V disables the reference core and reduces supply current to ≤500nA. During shutdown, output impedance rises to >250kΩ, effectively isolating the reference node. Logic-high threshold is ≥2.0V, ensuring compatibility with 1.8V and 3.3V GPIO interfaces.
Can MAX6037BAUK25+T drive a 5mA load while maintaining specified accuracy?
Yes, MAX6037BAUK25+T is rated to source and sink up to ±5mA while maintaining output accuracy within specifications. Load regulation is ≤0.036%/mA for sourcing (0–1mA) and ≤0.2%/mA for sinking (–1mA to 0), ensuring minimal deviation during dynamic load transitions in ADC reference and op-amp bias applications.
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX6037BAUK25+T to regulate at 2.5V output?
The minimum input voltage for MAX6037BAUK25+T is 2.7V, defined as VOUT + 0.2V per datasheet specifications. At 1mA load, the dropout voltage is guaranteed ≤100mV, so regulation is maintained down to VIN = 2.6V - however, the absolute minimum specified supply is 2.7V to ensure full parameter compliance across temperature and process variation.
