Product details
Overview
MAX6037CAUK25+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 2.5V fixed-output, low-dropout series voltage reference with ±0.5% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and active-low shutdown (≤500nA). It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input, delivers ±5mA load current, and maintains stability with 0.02µF–1µF capacitive loads-ideal for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in portable medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037CAUK25+T datasheet, MAX6037CAUK25+T pinout, MAX6037CAUK25+T application, or MAX6037CAUK25+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q200–compatible automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), micropower quiescent current (≤275µA), low 100mV dropout at 1mA, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6037CAUK25+T implements a bandgap-based series-mode reference architecture with internal trimming for fixed 2.5V output. Its shutdown circuitry disables the output stage while maintaining <500nA supply current, enabling rapid wake-up (<75µs settling) without external sequencing.
It features inherent capacitive-load tolerance (0.02–1µF), bidirectional 5mA drive capability, and line/load regulation performance optimized across its full –40°C to +125°C operating range-ensuring stable reference voltage under varying supply and load conditions in battery-powered systems.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX6037CAUK25+T at room temperature?
The MAX6037CAUK25+T provides a nominal 2.500V output with ±0.5% initial accuracy at +25°C, corresponding to a guaranteed range of 2.4875V to 2.5125V. This specification is tested and guaranteed per the datasheet's electrical characteristics table for the C-grade variant, ensuring predictable performance in precision analog circuits without post-manufacturing calibration.
Does the MAX6037CAUK25+T require an external output capacitor, and what value range is supported?
Yes, the MAX6037CAUK25+T requires an external output capacitor for stability, supporting values from 0.02µF to 1µF. Ceramic capacitors within this range are recommended for low ESR and minimal board area. The device remains stable across this full range-no minimum ESR is required-enabling flexible design choices for noise filtering and transient response.
How does the shutdown feature of the MAX6037CAUK25+T operate, and what is its leakage behavior?
The MAX6037CAUK25+T features an active-low SHDN pin: pulling it ≤0.75V disables the output and reduces supply current to ≤500nA (typical 50pA). During shutdown, the output is high-impedance (>10MΩ), preventing loading of downstream circuitry. This enables true zero-power sleep states in energy-harvesting and battery-backed systems.
Can the MAX6037CAUK25+T drive a 5mA load while maintaining specified accuracy?
Yes, the MAX6037CAUK25+T is rated to source and sink up to ±5mA while maintaining its specified output voltage accuracy and dropout performance. Load regulation is characterized at ±5mA, with typical deviation <0.2%/mA-ensuring ≤±0.025V shift at full load, well within the ±0.0125V error budget implied by its ±0.5% initial accuracy.
Is the MAX6037CAUK25+T qualified for automotive applications, and what temperature range does it support?
Yes, the MAX6037CAUK25+T is specified for the full automotive temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements. Its 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient and guaranteed performance across this range make it suitable for under-hood and cabin-mounted electronics where thermal robustness is mandatory.
