Product details
Overview
MAX6037CAUKADJ+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 ±0.5% 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 MAX6037CAUKADJ+T datasheet, MAX6037CAUKADJ+T pinout, MAX6037CAUKADJ+T application, or MAX6037CAUKADJ+T equivalent, this page delivers verified circuit role (adjustable series-mode reference), automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C) operation, SOT23-5 package mapping, validated ADJ-based output tuning range, and confirmed alternatives with documented accuracy/temperature-coefficient trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX6037CAUKADJ+T implements a series-mode bandgap reference architecture with integrated shutdown control logic. Its ADJ pin accepts a resistive divider to set output voltage while maintaining regulation across input variations from 2.5V to 5.5V and load currents up to ±5mA.
It features internal thermal compensation yielding ≤50ppm/°C tempco (Grade C), ±0.5% initial output accuracy at +25°C, and stable operation with capacitive loads from 0.02µF to 1µF - enabling direct use in high-resolution ADC biasing and low-noise analog signal chains without external buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 1.184V to 5V, adjustable via external resistor divider on ADJ pin - enables flexible system-level voltage scaling |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.5% (max) at +25°C - sufficient for 12-bit ADC reference without calibration |
| Tempco | 50ppm/°C (max) - ensures <±0.6% drift over full -40°C to +125°C automotive range |
| Quiescent Current | 275µA (max) - supports multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors |
| Shutdown Current | 500nA (max) - enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in portable equipment |

Pinout & Package
MAX6037CAUKADJ+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-2 code, top mark AEJH), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - ADJ | Adjustment node | Connects to center tap of external R1/R2 divider; sets VOUT = 1.184V × (1 + R1/R2); bias current <50nA minimizes resistor error |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Must be low-impedance star point; separates from digital ground to avoid noise coupling into reference output |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-low enable control | Pull low (<0.7V) to enter shutdown (ISHDN ≤500nA); tie to IN for always-on operation |
| 4 - IN | Supply input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for PSRR optimization |
| 5 - OUT | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated voltage; stable with 0.02µF–1µF output capacitance; drives ±5mA load directly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6035AAUT+T | Fixed 1.25V output; ±0.2% accuracy; 25ppm/°C tempco; same SOT23-5 package | Lacks adjustability; superior accuracy/tempco but limited to single voltage rail | Select when fixed 1.25V suffices and tighter spec is required - no circuit redesign needed |
| ADR3412ARJZ-R7 | Fixed 1.2V output; ±0.1% accuracy; 30ppm/°C tempco; 6-pin SOT23 package | Higher accuracy, lower tempco, but non-adjustable and incompatible pinout | Choose for metrology-grade 1.2V references where board layout permits 6-pin footprint change |
Compared with MAX6035AAUT+T and ADR3412ARJZ-R7, MAX6037CAUKADJ+T trades absolute accuracy for output flexibility and automotive temperature range - making it optimal for multi-rail portable systems where one reference must serve several analog subsystems.

FAQ
What output voltage range does the MAX6037CAUKADJ+T support?
The MAX6037CAUKADJ+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 ADJ is 1.184V, and VOUT = 1.184V × (1 + R1/R2). This range accommodates common system rails including 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V, making MAX6037CAUKADJ+T suitable for multi-voltage designs without requiring multiple fixed-reference SKUs.
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy and temperature coefficient for MAX6037CAUKADJ+T?
The MAX6037CAUKADJ+T is specified with ±0.5% maximum initial accuracy at +25°C and a maximum temperature coefficient of 50ppm/°C over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. These Grade C specifications are validated per Maxim's production test flow and ensure predictable drift behavior in automotive and industrial environments - critical for applications like battery fuel gauging and precision sensor signal conditioning where calibration intervals are extended.
How does the shutdown function operate on the MAX6037CAUKADJ+T?
The MAX6037CAUKADJ+T features an active-low shutdown input (SHDN, Pin 3) that disables the reference output and reduces supply current to ≤500nA when pulled below 0.7V. During shutdown, the output impedance rises above 10MΩ, effectively isolating the reference node. To enable normal operation, SHDN must be tied to IN (Pin 4). This function enables MAX6037CAUKADJ+T to support ultra-low-power sleep states in portable instrumentation and wireless edge devices.
What is the minimum and maximum supply voltage for reliable operation of MAX6037CAUKADJ+T?
The MAX6037CAUKADJ+T operates reliably from a supply voltage (IN, Pin 4) of 2.5V to 5.5V. The minimum input voltage depends on the desired output: VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.2V (e.g., ≥3.384V for 3.184V output). At 1mA load, dropout is ≤100mV - allowing MAX6037CAUKADJ+T to maintain regulation even as a single-cell Li-ion battery discharges from 4.2V to 2.6V, supporting uninterrupted operation in compact portable systems.
Which package and pin configuration does MAX6037CAUKADJ+T use?
MAX6037CAUKADJ+T uses a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (package code U5-2, top mark AEJH), with pin 1 = ADJ, pin 2 = GND, pin 3 = SHDN, pin 4 = IN, and pin 5 = OUT. This standardized footprint enables drop-in compatibility with other MAX6037 variants and simplifies PCB design reuse across voltage options. The 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm dimensions support high-density layouts in wearables and handheld diagnostics equipment.
