Product details
Overview
MAX6037BAUK33+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower voltage reference IC with fixed 3.3V output, ±0.3% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and active-low shutdown (≤500nA). It operates from 3.5V to 5.5V input, delivers ±5mA load current, and is used in precision analog front-ends for portable medical sensors and battery-powered wireless LAN modules.
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, 100mV dropout at 1mA, 0.02µF–1µF capacitive-load stability, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6037BAUK33+T is a series-mode bandgap voltage reference with internal trimming for fixed 3.3V output. Its shutdown circuitry uses an active-low logic input referenced to VIN, enabling ultra-low quiescent current (≤500nA) without external biasing. The device maintains regulation across supply variations (3.5V–5.5V) and load currents (±5mA) while exhibiting minimal line and load regulation (≤0.0133%/V and ≤0.212%/mA).
Thermal performance is specified over the full automotive range (-40°C to +125°C), with thermal hysteresis of 514ppm and long-term stability of 133ppm over 1000 hours. Output impedance when disabled exceeds 330kΩ, ensuring high isolation during shutdown mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±0.3% at +25°C - ensures stable reference for 12-bit ADCs and DACs requiring ≤10mV absolute error |
| Tempco | 50ppm/°C max - limits drift to ±6.6mV over -40°C to +125°C ambient, critical for automotive sensor calibration |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV max at 1mA - enables operation with only 3.4V supply, supporting single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V rail margin |
| Quiescent Current | 275µA max - allows >1-year battery life in 10µA sleep-cycle systems using periodic wake-up sampling |
| Shutdown Current | 500nA max - reduces standby power to <1.7µW at 3.5V, essential for always-on IoT edge nodes |
| Capacitive Load Range | 0.02µF to 1µF - supports ceramic decoupling without oscillation, compatible with standard 0402/0603 MLCC footprints |
| Supply Range | 3.5V to 5.5V - matches regulated 3.3V or 5V system rails; minimum VIN = VOUT + 0.2V enforces safe headroom |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6037BAUK33+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code, top mark AEJH), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is ADJ (internally connected, no external connection), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is SHDN (active-low), Pin 4 is IN, and Pin 5 is OUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (ADJ) | Internal connection | No external connection required; reserved for adjustable variants only - floating on MAX6037BAUK33+T |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Must be low-impedance path to system ground plane; separates reference return from digital switching noise |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low enable control | Pull low (<0.8V) to disable output; tie to IN for always-on operation; logic thresholds defined per VIN range |
| 4 (IN) | Unregulated input supply | Requires 0.1µF–1µF bypass capacitor to GND; minimum 3.5V input ensures regulation at 3.3V output |
| 5 (OUT) | Precision reference output | Delivers 3.3V ±0.3% with ±5mA sourcing/sinking; connect 0.02µF–1µF capacitor to GND for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.3V output | Eliminates external resistor network, reducing BOM count and layout area versus adjustable references |
| Automotive temperature range | Guaranteed operation from -40°C to +125°C enables use in under-hood or industrial control environments |
| Low dropout (100mV @ 1mA) | Permits direct regulation from 3.4V sources, avoiding inefficient pre-regulation stages in low-voltage systems |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 500nA max shutdown draw extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like wearable ECG monitors |
| Capacitive-load stability | Stable with 0.02µF–1µF output capacitance, allowing use of small, low-ESR ceramic capacitors without compensation |
Applications

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MAX6037BAUK33+T?
The MAX6037BAUK33+T supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5V, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings and confirmed across all electrical characteristics tables. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage. The device is designed for 3.5V to 5.5V supply range, with 5.5V representing the upper functional and safe limit for continuous operation.
Does MAX6037BAUK33+T require an external capacitor on the output pin?
Yes, the MAX6037BAUK33+T requires an output capacitor between OUT and GND for stability, with a validated range of 0.02µF to 1µF. This capacitor suppresses high-frequency noise and prevents oscillation. Ceramic capacitors within this range are recommended due to their low ESR and compatibility with the device's internal compensation.
Can MAX6037BAUK33+T be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6037BAUK33+T is explicitly specified for the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and qualified per AEC-Q100 stress test requirements. Its 50ppm/°C tempco, 133ppm long-term stability, and thermal hysteresis of 514ppm meet stringent automotive sensor and control module accuracy needs.
What is the typical turn-on settling time for MAX6037BAUK33+T?
The typical turn-on settling time for MAX6037BAUK33+T is 2.4ms to within 0.1% of final 3.3V output, measured with COUT = 0.02µF and VIN = 5V, as documented in the MAX6037_33 electrical characteristics table. This value reflects full stabilization after SHDN transitions from low to high.
Is the ADJ pin on MAX6037BAUK33+T functional or unused?
The ADJ pin on MAX6037BAUK33+T is internally connected and non-functional - it is reserved for the adjustable MAX6037_ADJ variant. The datasheet Pin Description states "I.C. (Internally connected. All fixed output voltage options.) Do not connect anything to this pin." No external circuitry should be attached to Pin 1.
