Product details
Overview
MAX6037CAUK30+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower voltage reference with fixed 3.0V output, ±0.5% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 2.5V–5.5V input range, and active-low shutdown consuming ≤500nA. It operates across –40°C to +125°C and delivers ±5mA load current-ideal for precision battery-powered sensor front-ends in automotive telematics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037CAUK30+T datasheet, MAX6037CAUK30+T pinout, MAX6037CAUK30+T application, or MAX6037CAUK30+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.0V fixed output stability under varying load (±0.035%/mA sourcing), 100mV dropout at 1mA, 0.02µF–1µF capacitive-load compatibility, and SOT23-5 automotive-grade packaging.
Technical Context
The MAX6037CAUK30+T is a series-mode bandgap voltage reference with internal trimming for 3.0V nominal output. Its shutdown logic accepts 0.8V max logic-low and 2.0V min logic-high inputs over 3.2V–5.5V supply, enabling direct interface with microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting.
It maintains output regulation across full automotive temperature range using curvature-compensated bandgap core and proprietary low-noise biasing-achieving 17µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) and 40µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) noise performance while sourcing/sinking up to 5mA with <410mV dropout at full load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.000V ±0.5% at +25°C - ensures stable ADC reference for 10-bit systems requiring ≤15mV absolute error |
| Tempco | 50ppm/°C max - limits drift to ±600ppm (±1.8mV) over –40°C to +125°C ambient |
| Quiescent Current | 210–275µA - enables >1-year battery life in 10µA sleep-cycle IoT nodes |
| Shutdown Current | ≤500nA - reduces standby power to <1.5µW at 3V supply |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV max at 1mA - supports operation down to 3.1V input in Li-ion single-cell systems |

| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low enable control | Pull ≤0.8V to disable output; ≥2.0V to enable; draws ≤0.05nA leakage in high state |
| 4 (IN) | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 3.2V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND within 2mm |
| 5 (OUT) | Precision reference output | Delivers 3.0V ±0.5%; connect 0.02–1µF capacitor to GND for stability and transient response |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MAX6037CAUK30+T?
The MAX6037CAUK30+T supports a supply voltage range of 3.2V to 5.5V, as specified in its electrical characteristics table for the 3.0V output variant. Operation below 3.2V may result in loss of regulation or increased dropout voltage. This range ensures compatibility with standard 3.3V and 5V rails while maintaining headroom for the 100mV typical dropout requirement.
Does MAX6037CAUK30+T require an external capacitor on the output pin?
Yes, the MAX6037CAUK30+T requires an output capacitor between OUT and GND in the range of 0.02µF to 1µF for stability and transient response. Ceramic capacitors are recommended. The device remains stable across this full range, eliminating need for tight tolerance or specific ESR values-simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials cost.
What is the shutdown behavior of MAX6037CAUK30+T?
When SHDN is pulled low (≤0.8V), the MAX6037CAUK30+T disables its output and reduces supply current to ≤500nA. The output enters high-impedance state with >300kΩ output impedance, preventing loading of downstream circuitry. Pulling SHDN high (≥2.0V) restores normal operation with 75µs turn-on settling time to 0.1% of final value.
Can MAX6037CAUK30+T drive a 10kΩ load directly?
Yes, the MAX6037CAUK30+T can drive a 10kΩ load directly. At 3.0V output, this represents 300µA load current-well within its ±5mA sourcing/sinking capability. Load regulation is specified at ±0.035%/mA, meaning output deviation will be ≤10.5µV, preserving accuracy for precision applications like 12-bit ADC references.
Is MAX6037CAUK30+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6037CAUK30+T is specified over the full automotive temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and packaged in a lead-free SOT23-5 (U5-2) with top mark AEJG. It meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components and is widely used in automotive sensor modules, body control units, and infotainment power supplies.
