Product details
Overview
MAX6037CAUK41-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-dropout, micropower series-mode voltage reference with fixed 4.096V output, ±0.5% 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 portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6037CAUK41-T datasheet, MAX6037CAUK41-T pinout, MAX6037CAUK41-T application, or MAX6037CAUK41-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade -40°C to +125°C operation, 0.02µF–1µF capacitive-load stability, 410mV max dropout at 5mA, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6037CAUK41-T implements a bandgap-based series-mode reference architecture with internal trimming for 4.096V nominal output. Its shutdown circuitry uses an active-low logic interface with 0.8V max VENL and 2.0V min VENH, ensuring robust disable/enable control across its full 4.3V–5.5V supply range.
It features low-noise performance (50µVRMS @ 10Hz–1kHz), thermal hysteresis of 524ppm, and long-term stability of 133ppm over 1000 hours-critical for high-resolution ADC biasing and precision regulator feedback loops where drift directly impacts measurement fidelity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V fixed, ±0.5% initial accuracy at +25°C - enables direct interface with 12-bit ADCs requiring 4.096V full-scale reference. |
| Tempco | 50ppm/°C max - limits output drift to ±614µV over -40°C to +125°C, supporting automotive sensor signal conditioning. |
| Dropout Voltage | 410mV max at 5mA source current - allows operation with only 4.506V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 275µA max - ensures >1-year battery life in 10µA sleep-current portable devices when paired with shutdown. |
| Shutdown Current | 500nA max - reduces standby power to negligible levels in always-on monitoring nodes. |
| Load Drive | ±5mA sink/source capability - supports driving 10kΩ ADC input impedance plus 100pF sampling capacitance without external buffer. |
| Capacitive Stability | Stable with 0.02µF–1µF output capacitor - accommodates ceramic decoupling for noise-sensitive data acquisition. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6037CAUK41-T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code, top mark AEJG), with exposed pad not electrically connected. The package measures 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm and is rated for reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I.C.) | Internally Connected | No external connection required; reserved for fixed-output variants (not ADJ version). |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for reference output and supply current; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-Low Shutdown Input | Pull ≤0.8V to disable output and reduce supply current to <500nA; tie to IN for continuous operation. |
| 4 (IN) | Supply Voltage Input | Accepts 4.3V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND close to pin for PSRR optimization. |
| 5 (OUT) | Reference Output | Delivers stable 4.096V; connect 0.02µF–1µF capacitor to GND to ensure loop stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.096V Output | Matches standard 12-bit DAC/ADC full-scale voltage, eliminating external scaling resistors in data converter interfaces. |
| Automotive Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C operation enables use in under-hood sensors and industrial controllers without derating. |
| Low Dropout at Full Load | 410mV max dropout at 5mA allows reliable regulation from 3.3V LDO outputs or partially discharged batteries. |
| High PSRR | ≥60dB rejection up to 10kHz suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding the reference input. |
| Adjustable Version Compatibility | Shares pinout and footprint with MAX6037_ADJ, enabling design reuse across fixed/adjustable reference requirements. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX6037CAUK41-T to regulate at 4.096V?
The MAX6037CAUK41-T requires a minimum input voltage of 4.3V to maintain regulation at its 4.096V output, as specified in the electrical characteristics table. This 200mV headroom ensures stable operation even at maximum load and temperature extremes, and aligns with the 410mV max dropout voltage specification at 5mA source current.
Can MAX6037CAUK41-T drive a 10kΩ load while maintaining output accuracy?
Yes, the MAX6037CAUK41-T can drive a 10kΩ load (409.6µA current) while maintaining output accuracy within specifications. Its load regulation is 0.212%/mA sinking and sourcing, resulting in <0.087mV change at 409.6µA-well within the ±0.5% initial accuracy window and compatible with 12-bit ADC interfaces.
How does the shutdown functionality affect output behavior in MAX6037CAUK41-T?
When SHDN is pulled low, the MAX6037CAUK41-T disables its internal reference core, reducing supply current to <500nA and presenting a high-impedance (>10MΩ) output state. The output voltage collapses to near-GND, and turn-on settling time is 3.2ms to 0.1% of final value-ensuring clean power-state transitions in sequenced systems.
Is MAX6037CAUK41-T compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the MAX6037CAUK41-T is explicitly characterized for stability with ceramic capacitors ranging from 0.02µF to 1µF, including X7R and C0G types. This eliminates the need for tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, reducing board area and improving reliability in high-vibration environments.
What is the long-term stability specification for MAX6037CAUK41-T?
The MAX6037CAUK41-T exhibits 133ppm long-term stability after 1000 hours of operation at +25°C, meaning its output voltage drifts by no more than ±0.545mV from initial value. This performance supports calibration intervals exceeding 12 months in field-deployed instrumentation without recalibration.
