Product details
Overview
MAX6037CAUK33-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, low-dropout, micropower voltage reference with fixed 3.3V output, ±0.5% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 100mV max dropout at 1mA, and active-low shutdown consuming ≤500nA. It operates from 3.5V to 5.5V input and delivers ±5mA load current, serving as a stable reference in battery-powered data acquisition and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037CAUK33-T datasheet, MAX6037CAUK33-T pinout, MAX6037CAUK33-T application, or MAX6037CAUK33-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C) operation, SOT23-5 package, low quiescent current (275µA max), capacitive-load stability (0.02–1µF), and shutdown logic thresholds (VENL ≤ 0.8V, VENH ≥ 2.0V).
Technical Context
The MAX6037CAUK33-T is a series-mode bandgap voltage reference with internal trimming for fixed 3.3V output. Its shutdown circuitry disables the output stage when SHDN is pulled low, reducing supply current to <500nA while maintaining high output impedance (>330kΩ).
It features a low-impedance buffered output capable of sourcing/sinking ±5mA, supports capacitive loads from 0.02µF to 1µF without oscillation, and maintains regulation over input voltages from 3.5V to 5.5V - ensuring compatibility with Li-ion and regulated 3.3V/5V rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±0.5% (3.2855V to 3.3165V at +25°C); enables accurate ADC/DAC biasing in 3.3V systems. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.5% max; eliminates need for system-level calibration in mid-precision applications like sensor signal chains. |
| Tempco | 50ppm/°C max; ensures ≤1.65mV drift over -40°C to +125°C, critical for automotive and industrial environments. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV max at 1mA load; allows operation with only 3.4V input, supporting single-cell Li-ion or low-headroom supplies. |
| Quiescent Current | 275µA max; extends battery life in portable medical monitors and wireless sensors. |
| Shutdown Current | 500nA max; reduces standby power by >500×, enabling long-term sleep modes in IoT endpoints. |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sourcing/sinking capability; directly drives ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small DACs. |
| Capacitive Stability | Stable with 0.02µF–1µF output capacitance; accommodates ceramic, tantalum, or polymer caps without compensation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6037CAUK33-T is housed in a lead-free 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code, top mark AEJG), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - ADJ | Adjustment Input (No Connect) | Internally connected; left unconnected for fixed-output variants like MAX6037CAUK33-T. |
| 2 - GND | Analog Ground Reference | Low-impedance return path for reference current and output load; must be tied to clean system ground plane. |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-Low Shutdown Control | Pull ≤0.8V to disable output and reduce current to <500nA; tie to IN (≥2.0V) for normal operation. |
| 4 - IN | Supply Input | Accepts 3.5V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND close to pin for noise rejection and transient response. |
| 5 - OUT | Precision Reference Output | Delivers regulated 3.3V; connect 0.02µF–1µF capacitor to GND for stability and low-noise performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.3V Output | Factory-trimmed for 3.300V ±0.5%, eliminating external resistor networks and layout sensitivity. |
| Automotive Temperature Range | Specified from -40°C to +125°C, enabling use in under-hood ECUs and industrial control modules. |
| Low Dropout Operation | 100mV max dropout at 1mA allows reliable regulation even with aging batteries or undersized LDOs upstream. |
| Shutdown Logic Compatibility | VENL ≤ 0.8V and VENH ≥ 2.0V ensure interoperability with standard 3.3V and 5V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| High Output Impedance in Shutdown | >330kΩ output impedance when disabled prevents loading of downstream circuits during sleep states. |
| Long-Term Stability | 133ppm drift over 1000 hours at +25°C supports 10+ year field reliability in metering and infrastructure equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6035BAUT33+T | Same 3.3V output, but ±0.3% initial accuracy and 50ppm/°C tempco; lower quiescent current (120µA max). | Lacks shutdown function; unsuitable for power-gated systems requiring ultra-low standby current. | Select when shutdown is unnecessary and tighter initial accuracy is prioritized over dynamic power control. |
| ADR3433ARJZ-R7 | 3.3V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C tempco, 6µA quiescent current, no shutdown. | Higher precision but no shutdown; requires external enable circuitry for low-power modes. | Choose for metrology-grade accuracy where system-level power management compensates for missing SHDN. |
Compared with MAX6037CAUK33-T, MAX6035BAUT33+T trades shutdown capability for lower operating current and better initial accuracy, while ADR3433ARJZ-R7 offers superior precision and stability but demands external power sequencing - making MAX6037CAUK33-T optimal for automotive and portable designs needing integrated, verified low-power control.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX6037CAUK33-T to regulate properly?
The MAX6037CAUK33-T requires a minimum input voltage of 3.5V to maintain regulation at 3.3V output, as specified in its electrical characteristics table. This 200mV headroom ensures stable operation across temperature and load variations, and aligns with its 100mV max dropout specification at 1mA. Operating below 3.5V risks loss of regulation and increased output error.
Can MAX6037CAUK33-T be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, MAX6037CAUK33-T is explicitly characterized for stable operation with ceramic capacitors ranging from 0.02µF to 1µF, including X7R and C0G types. Its internal compensation eliminates the need for series resistance or specialized capacitor types, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count in space-constrained designs.
How does the shutdown function affect output behavior in MAX6037CAUK33-T?
When SHDN is pulled low, MAX6037CAUK33-T disables its internal reference core and output buffer, reducing supply current to ≤500nA and raising output impedance to >330kΩ. The output voltage collapses passively and does not actively drive low - requiring external pull-down if defined low-state behavior is needed in system sleep modes.
Is MAX6037CAUK33-T compatible with 1.8V logic-level microcontrollers?
No - MAX6037CAUK33-T's SHDN pin requires VENL ≤ 0.8V for recognition of logic-low and VENH ≥ 2.0V for logic-high, making it incompatible with 1.8V GPIOs that typically swing 0–1.8V. A level-shifter or open-drain buffer is required to interface with 1.8V controllers, whereas 3.3V or 5V MCUs can drive SHDN directly.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for MAX6037CAUK33-T?
MAX6037CAUK33-T exhibits 514ppm thermal hysteresis - defined as the change in output voltage at +25°C before and after cycling between -40°C and +125°C. This value reflects mechanical stress memory in the silicon and packaging, and is critical for applications requiring repeatable measurements after thermal excursions, such as automotive diagnostics or field-deployed test equipment.
