Product details
Overview
MAX6037BAUK33-T 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, serving as a precision reference in battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037BAUK33-T datasheet, MAX6037BAUK33-T pinout, MAX6037BAUK33-T application, or MAX6037BAUK33-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade -40°C to +125°C operation, SOT23-5 package compatibility, 0.02µF–1µF capacitive-load stability, and shutdown logic thresholds (VENL ≤ 0.8V, VENH ≥ 2.0V) for reliable low-power system control.
Technical Context
The MAX6037BAUK33-T is a series-mode bandgap voltage reference with internal trimming for fixed 3.3V output. Its shutdown circuitry disables the output stage when SHDN is pulled low, reducing quiescent current to ≤500nA while maintaining high-impedance output (ZOUT = 330kΩ).
It features a low-temperature-coefficient bandgap core (50ppm/°C max), supports sourcing/sinking up to ±5mA, and maintains output stability across 0.02µF–1µF output capacitance-enabling direct use with ADCs, DACs, and precision regulators without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±0.3% at +25°C - ensures stable reference for 12-bit ADCs requiring ≤10mV absolute error |
| Tempco | 50ppm/°C max - limits drift to ±6.6mV over -40°C to +125°C ambient range |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV max at 1mA - enables operation from 3.4V supply in 3.3V systems |
| Quiescent Current | 275µA max - supports >1-year battery life in 10µA-average-power IoT sensors |
| Shutdown Current | 500nA max - reduces standby power by 550× vs active mode |
| Load Drive | ±5mA - directly interfaces with op-amp inputs, SAR ADC references, and digital potentiometers |
| Capacitive Load Range | 0.02µF to 1µF - compatible with ceramic decoupling caps without oscillation risk |
Pinout & Package
MAX6037BAUK33-T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code), with exposed pad not electrically connected. The package measures 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm and is rated for -40°C to +125°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I.C.) | Internally Connected | No external connection required; reserved for internal biasing in fixed-output variants |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for reference output and supply current; must be low-impedance |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-Low Enable | Pull ≤0.8V to disable output; tie to IN for always-on operation |
| 4 (IN) | Supply Input | Accepts 3.5V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND for noise rejection |
| 5 (OUT) | Reference Output | 3.3V precision source; connect 0.02µF–1µF capacitor to GND for stability |
Key Features

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, 125µA quiescent current, no shutdown | Lacks shutdown function; higher accuracy but higher supply current | Select when highest DC precision is required and system-level power gating replaces device shutdown |
| REF3333AIDBVR | ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C tempco, 4.5µA quiescent current, no shutdown | No shutdown; significantly higher quiescent current than MAX6037BAUK33-T in active mode | Choose for ultra-low-drift applications where long-term stability outweighs shutdown capability |
Compared with ADR3433ARJZ-R7 and REF3333AIDBVR, the MAX6037BAUK33-T trades minor accuracy degradation for 500nA shutdown current and 275µA active-mode consumption-making it optimal for intermittently powered systems where standby power dominates lifetime energy budget.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MAX6037BAUK33-T?
The MAX6037BAUK33-T supports a supply voltage range of 3.5V to 5.5V. This is specified in the electrical characteristics table for the 3.3V output variant (MAX6037_33), where VIN minimum is defined as VOUT + 0.2V = 3.5V. Exceeding 5.5V violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage to the MAX6037BAUK33-T.
Does MAX6037BAUK33-T require an output capacitor?
Yes, the MAX6037BAUK33-T requires an output capacitor between OUT and GND for stability, with a recommended range of 0.02µF to 1µF. Ceramic capacitors are suitable, and no minimum ESR is required. Omitting the capacitor risks oscillation or degraded transient response in the MAX6037BAUK33-T output.
What is the logic threshold for enabling MAX6037BAUK33-T shutdown?
The MAX6037BAUK33-T uses an active-low SHDN pin with logic-low threshold (VENL) ≤ 0.8V and logic-high threshold (VENH) ≥ 2.0V when VIN is 3.5V–5.5V. Pulling SHDN below 0.8V disables the output and reduces supply current to ≤500nA; tying SHDN to IN enables continuous operation of the MAX6037BAUK33-T.
Can MAX6037BAUK33-T drive a 5mA load in both sourcing and sinking modes?
Yes, the MAX6037BAUK33-T is specified to source and sink up to ±5mA while maintaining output regulation within datasheet limits. Load regulation is characterized across this range, with worst-case deviation of 0.212%/mA in sinking mode. This capability allows the MAX6037BAUK33-T to directly drive op-amp inputs, ADC references, and digital potentiometer wipers without buffering.
Is MAX6037BAUK33-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6037BAUK33-T is fully specified and tested over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range. Its 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 1000-hour long-term stability (133ppm), and thermal hysteresis (514ppm) meet AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for non-automotive-qualified components used in automotive subsystems such as body control and cabin sensing.
