Product details
Overview
MAX6037BAUK33+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower voltage reference with fixed 3.3V output, ±0.3% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 100mV max dropout at 1mA, and active-low shutdown consuming ≤500nA. It operates from 3.5V to 5.5V supply and delivers ±5mA load current-ideal for precision ADC/DAC biasing in portable medical monitors and battery-powered wireless LAN modules.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037BAUK33+ datasheet, MAX6037BAUK33+ pinout, MAX6037BAUK33+ application, or MAX6037BAUK33+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade -40°C to +125°C operation, SOT23-5 package footprint, 0.02µF–1µF capacitive-load stability, and shutdown logic compatibility with 0.8V logic-low threshold at VIN ≥ 3.5V.
Technical Context
The MAX6037BAUK33+ is a series-mode bandgap reference with internal trimming for fixed 3.3V output. Its shutdown circuitry uses an active-low input (SHDN) that disables output and reduces quiescent current to ≤500nA while maintaining high output impedance (>330kΩ) when disabled.
It features a low-impedance buffered output capable of sourcing/sinking ±5mA, stable with capacitive loads from 0.02µF to 1µF, and exhibits line regulation of ≤0.0133%/V and load regulation of ≤0.212%/mA over full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±0.3% at +25°C - ensures accurate bias for 3.3V-system ADCs and sensors |
| Tempco | ≤50ppm/°C - supports 12-bit precision over -40°C to +125°C without calibration |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤100mV at 1mA - enables operation with only 3.4V supply in 3.3V systems |
| Quiescent Current | ≤275µA - extends battery life in always-on portable instrumentation |
| Shutdown Current | ≤500nA - reduces standby power by >500× vs active mode |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking - directly drives SAR ADC reference inputs and op-amp buffers |
| Capacitive Stability | 0.02µF to 1µF - compatible with standard ceramic decoupling and low-ESR polymer caps |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6037BAUK33+ is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code), with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height-compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (ADJ) | Adjustment Input | No connection required - internally connected (fixed-output variant); leave unconnected |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for reference output and supply current; requires low-inductance PCB tie to system ground plane |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-Low Shutdown Control | Pull ≤0.8V to disable output; ≥2.0V to enable; draws ≤0.15nA leakage in either state |
| 4 (IN) | Supply Input | Accepts 3.5V–5.5V; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for PSRR optimization |
| 5 (OUT) | Reference Output | Stable 3.3V source; connect 0.02µF–1µF capacitor to GND for transient stability and noise filtering |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3433ARJZ-R7 | ±0.1% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C tempco, 3.3V fixed, 4.5µA quiescent current, no shutdown | Higher accuracy but no shutdown; unsuitable for ultra-low-power sleep modes | Select when highest initial accuracy is prioritized over shutdown capability and quiescent current |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the MAX6037BAUK33+?
The MAX6037BAUK33+ requires a minimum input voltage of 3.5V to guarantee specified performance across temperature, per its electrical characteristics table. This is derived from the (VOUT + 0.2V) rule, ensuring adequate headroom for the 100mV max dropout. Operation below 3.5V may result in degraded line regulation or failure to regulate.
Does the MAX6037BAUK33+ require an external output capacitor, and what value range is supported?
Yes, the MAX6037BAUK33+ requires an external output capacitor for stability and noise reduction. It is fully stable with capacitive loads from 0.02µF to 1µF, including standard X7R/X5R ceramics and low-ESR polymer types. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for general-purpose decoupling and transient response.
What is the logic threshold for enabling the shutdown function on the MAX6037BAUK33+?
The MAX6037BAUK33+ SHDN pin is active-low. To enable normal operation, SHDN must be driven to ≥2.0V (logic-high). To enter shutdown, SHDN must be pulled to ≤0.8V (logic-low) when VIN ≥ 3.5V. Input leakage remains ≤0.15nA in both states, minimizing impact on driving circuitry.
Can the MAX6037BAUK33+ drive a 5mA load while maintaining output accuracy?
Yes, the MAX6037BAUK33+ is rated to source and sink up to ±5mA while maintaining output voltage within its specified load regulation of ≤0.212%/mA. At 5mA sourcing, dropout remains ≤100mV, and output deviation stays within ±0.3% initial accuracy plus tempco drift over temperature.
Is the MAX6037BAUK33+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6037BAUK33+ is specified over the full automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and packaged in a qualified SOT23-5 (U5-2) outline. It meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for reliability in automotive body electronics and infotainment subsystems.
