Product details
Overview
MAX6037BAUK30-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower series voltage reference with fixed 3.0V output, ±0.3% initial accuracy (A-grade), 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and active-low shutdown enabling <500nA quiescent current. It operates from 3.2V to 5.5V supply, delivers ±5mA load current, and targets precision analog front-ends in battery-powered wireless LAN modules.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037BAUK30-T datasheet, MAX6037BAUK30-T pinout, MAX6037BAUK30-T application, or MAX6037BAUK30-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade -40°C to +125°C operation, 100mV dropout at 1mA, 0.02µF–1µF capacitive-load stability, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained portable medical sensors and industrial data loggers.
Technical Context
The MAX6037BAUK30-T uses a bandgap-based series-mode architecture with internal trimming for fixed 3.0V output. Its shutdown logic accepts TTL-compatible inputs (VENL ≤ 0.8V, VENH ≥ 2.0V) and disables output while maintaining high-impedance state (ZOUT = 300kΩ when disabled).
It features built-in thermal hysteresis compensation (501ppm typical) and long-term stability of 133ppm over 1000 hours. Load regulation is specified at ±0.03%/mA sourcing and ±0.2%/mA sinking, supporting stable biasing for 12-bit ADCs and precision DACs without external buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.000V ±0.3% at +25°C - ensures accurate 3V rail for SAR ADC reference inputs |
| Tempco | 50ppm/°C max - limits drift to ±600µV over full -40°C to +125°C range |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV max at 1mA - enables operation from 3.1V supply in Li-ion single-cell systems |
| Quiescent Current | 275µA max - supports >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 500nA max - reduces standby power to sub-µW level in sleep-mode IoT endpoints |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking - directly drives 10kΩ ADC input impedance or op-amp bias networks |
| Capacitive Stability | 0.02µF to 1µF - compatible with standard ceramic decoupling caps, no ESR requirements |
Pinout & Package
MAX6037BAUK30-T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code, top mark AEJG), with exposed pad not connected internally. The package measures 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm and is rated for reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - ADJ | Internal connection (no external connection) | Internally tied; unused on fixed-output variants like MAX6037BAUK30-T |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Must be low-impedance path to system ground plane to minimize noise coupling into reference output |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-low enable control | Pull ≤0.8V to disable output; tie to IN for continuous operation; 0.05–1000nA leakage supports clean digital interfacing |
| 4 - IN | Supply input (3.2V–5.5V) | Requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND; line regulation ≤0.0133%/V minimizes supply ripple impact |
| 5 - OUT | Precision 3.0V reference output | Drives 0.02–1µF output cap; 40–100mV dropout at 1–5mA enables direct use with low-voltage LDOs or ADCs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.0V output | Eliminates external resistor network, reducing BOM count and layout area vs. adjustable references |
| Automotive temperature range | -40°C to +125°C operation qualified per AEC-Q100 - suitable for under-hood sensor modules |
| Low dropout voltage | 100mV max at 1mA allows use with 3.1V supplies, extending battery runtime in portable equipment |
| Shutdown mode | <500nA supply current enables micro-power sleep states in energy-harvesting systems |
| Capacitive-load stability | Stable with 0.02µF–1µF ceramic output caps - avoids costly tantalum or special low-ESR types |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MAX6037BAUK30-T?
The MAX6037BAUK30-T supports a supply voltage range of 3.2V to 5.5V, as specified in its electrical characteristics table. Operation above 5.5V risks permanent damage per absolute maximum ratings, and minimum input is defined by dropout margin: VIN must exceed VOUT + 0.2V (i.e., ≥3.2V) to maintain regulation. This range enables compatibility with common 3.3V and 5V rails.
Does MAX6037BAUK30-T require an external capacitor on the output?
Yes, MAX6037BAUK30-T requires an output capacitor between OUT and GND, with a recommended range of 0.02µF to 1µF. Ceramic capacitors are fully supported; no ESR constraints apply. Omitting this capacitor may cause instability or excessive noise, especially under dynamic load conditions. The device remains stable across this full range without tuning.
Can MAX6037BAUK30-T be used in automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6037BAUK30-T is fully specified for the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is manufactured in a flow qualified for automotive use. Its 50ppm/°C tempco, 133ppm long-term stability, and thermal hysteresis of 501ppm meet stringent requirements for engine control units, battery management sensors, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the shutdown behavior of MAX6037BAUK30-T?
When SHDN is pulled low (≤0.8V), MAX6037BAUK30-T disables its output and reduces supply current to ≤500nA. The output enters high-impedance state (ZOUT = 300kΩ), preventing loading of downstream circuits. Pulling SHDN high (≥2.0V) restores normal operation with 75µs turn-on settling time to 0.1% of final value when COUT = 0.02µF.
How does the accuracy of MAX6037BAUK30-T compare to other grades in the MAX6037 family?
MAX6037BAUK30-T belongs to the 'B' grade, offering ±0.3% initial accuracy at +25°C - tighter than 'C' grade (±0.5%) but less precise than 'A' grade (±0.2%). All grades share identical 50ppm/°C max tempco and 500nA max shutdown current. Select 'B' grade when cost-sensitive designs require better-than-C accuracy without paying A-grade premiums.
