Product details
Overview
MAX6037BAUK41+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower series-mode voltage reference with fixed 4.096V output, ±0.3% initial accuracy (A-grade), 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and active-low shutdown enabling <500nA quiescent current. It operates from 4.3V to 5.5V input, delivers ±5mA load current, and targets precision analog front-ends in battery-powered medical and wireless equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037BAUK41+T datasheet, MAX6037BAUK41+T pinout, MAX6037BAUK41+T application, or MAX6037BAUK41+T equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role (precision 4.096V reference for 12-bit ADCs), validated SOT23-5 package mapping, confirmed 5-pin terminal functions, and two field-tested alternative parts with documented performance trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX6037BAUK41+T implements a bandgap-based series-mode reference architecture with internal trimming for 4.096V output, optimized for stability across automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). Its shutdown control path directly gates the reference core, reducing supply current to ≤500nA while maintaining high-impedance output (>410kΩ when disabled).
Designed for low-noise, low-drift applications, it features 50ppm/°C max TCVOUT, 0.0105%/V line regulation, and 0.212%/mA load regulation-enabling direct use with 12-bit SAR ADCs without external buffering. Capacitive-load stability is guaranteed from 0.02µF to 1µF.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance and temperature coefficient of MAX6037BAUK41+T?
The MAX6037BAUK41+T has a fixed 4.096V output with ±0.3% initial accuracy at +25°C and a maximum temperature coefficient of 50ppm/°C over −40°C to +125°C. This means its output drift is bounded to ±0.614mV over the full temperature range, supporting 12-bit system accuracy without recalibration. The MAX6037BAUK41+T specification sheet confirms these values under "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS-MAX6037_41".
Does MAX6037BAUK41+T support shutdown functionality, and what is its shutdown current?
Yes, MAX6037BAUK41+T features an active-low SHDN pin that reduces quiescent current to ≤500nA when pulled low. Typical shutdown current is 50pA, enabling ultra-low-power sleep states in battery-operated devices. The device maintains high-impedance output during shutdown, preventing loading of downstream circuits. This behavior is verified in the "SHUTDOWN (SHDN)" section of the MAX6037BAUK41+T datasheet.
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX6037BAUK41+T to regulate at 4.096V?
The minimum input voltage for MAX6037BAUK41+T is 4.3V, defined as VOUT + 0.2V per datasheet Note 8. At 1mA load, dropout voltage is ≤100mV, so 4.3V input ensures stable 4.096V output. Operation below 4.3V risks loss of regulation and increased output error. This requirement is explicitly stated in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS-MAX6037_41" table under "Supply Voltage Range".
Can MAX6037BAUK41+T drive a 10kΩ load while maintaining accuracy?
Yes, MAX6037BAUK41+T can source and sink up to ±5mA, making it fully capable of driving a 10kΩ load at 4.096V (drawing only 409.6µA). Load regulation is specified at 0.212%/mA, contributing ≤0.087mV error-well within ±0.3% initial accuracy. This performance is confirmed in the "Load Regulation" row of the MAX6037BAUK41+T electrical characteristics table.
Is MAX6037BAUK41+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6037BAUK41+T is specified over the −40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range and packaged in a lead-free SOT23-5. It meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for voltage references, including thermal cycling, humidity bias, and high-temperature operating life. This qualification is documented in Maxim's automotive product documentation and reflected in the "Operating Temperature Range" absolute maximum rating.
