Product details
Overview
MAX6037BAUKADJ+T from Maxim Integrated is an adjustable, low-dropout, micropower voltage reference IC with active-low shutdown, delivering 1.184V to 5V output via external resistor divider. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V supply, consumes ≤275µA quiescent current, achieves ±0.3% initial accuracy and 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and supports ±5mA load current - ideal for precision battery-powered sensor front-ends and portable medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037BAUKADJ+T datasheet, MAX6037BAUKADJ+T pinout, MAX6037BAUKADJ+T application, or MAX6037BAUKADJ+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable output range, automotive-grade -40°C to +125°C operation, 500nA max shutdown current, SOT23-5 package compatibility, and stability with 0.02µF–1µF capacitive loads.
Technical Context
The MAX6037BAUKADJ+T is a series-mode bandgap voltage reference with internal trimming for ±0.3% initial accuracy and guaranteed 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over full automotive temperature range. Its ADJ pin enables precise output setting using external resistors, while the active-low SHDN input reduces supply current to ≤500nA in disabled state.
It features low dropout (≤410mV at 5mA), high PSRR (>60dB at 1kHz), and stable operation into capacitive loads from 0.02µF to 1µF without requiring output phase compensation. The device draws only 200–250µA quiescent current and maintains regulation across 2.5V–5.5V input, making it suitable for low-voltage, low-power analog signal chains.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6037AAUKADJ+T | ±0.2% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C tempco - tighter spec grade | Better suited for 16-bit+ data acquisition where long-term drift matters | Select when higher accuracy justifies cost premium; same pinout and footprint |
| ADR3412ARJZ-R7 | Fixed 1.2V output, ±0.1% accuracy, 30ppm/°C, 190µA IQ, SOT23-5 | Lacks adjustability and shutdown; optimized for lowest noise in fixed-rail systems | Choose for cost-sensitive, fixed-voltage designs where ADJ functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6037AAUKADJ+T, the MAX6037BAUKADJ+T trades 0.1% accuracy and 25ppm/°C tempco for lower cost, while ADR3412ARJZ-R7 offers superior noise and accuracy but forfeits adjustability and shutdown - making MAX6037BAUKADJ+T optimal for balanced performance in programmable, battery-aware systems.

FAQ
What output voltage range does the MAX6037BAUKADJ+T support?
The MAX6037BAUKADJ+T supports an adjustable output voltage range from 1.184V to 5V, set by an external resistor divider connected between OUT, ADJ, and GND. The internal reference voltage at the ADJ pin is 1.184V, and VOUT = 1.184V × (1 + R1/R2). This flexibility allows one MAX6037BAUKADJ+T variant to replace multiple fixed-output references in diverse designs.
What is the maximum load current the MAX6037BAUKADJ+T can source or sink?
The MAX6037BAUKADJ+T can source and sink up to ±5mA of load current while maintaining regulation and specified accuracy. At 5mA sourcing, dropout voltage remains ≤410mV, enabling reliable operation even under moderate load conditions typical in ADC reference buffers and op-amp bias circuits.
How does the shutdown function work on the MAX6037BAUKADJ+T?
The MAX6037BAUKADJ+T features an active-low SHDN pin (Pin 3). Pulling SHDN ≤0.7V disables the output and reduces supply current to ≤500nA (typically 50pA). For normal operation, SHDN must be tied to IN. Logic thresholds are specified over full input voltage range (2.5V–5.5V), ensuring robust interfacing with microcontrollers and PMICs.
Is the MAX6037BAUKADJ+T qualified for automotive temperature range?
Yes, the MAX6037BAUKADJ+T is fully specified and tested over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range. All electrical parameters - including initial accuracy (±0.3%), tempco (50ppm/°C), quiescent current (≤275µA), and shutdown current (≤500nA) - are guaranteed across this range, meeting AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for automotive body electronics.
What capacitor values ensure stable operation of the MAX6037BAUKADJ+T?
The MAX6037BAUKADJ+T is stable with output capacitors ranging from 0.02µF to 1µF - covering common ceramic values like 0.1µF (standard bypass) and 1µF (low-frequency ripple suppression). Input capacitance of 0.1µF to 1µF on the IN pin is also required. No external compensation components are needed, simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials.
