Product details
Overview
MAX6043BAUT41-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 4.096V voltage reference IC in SOT23-6 package, delivering ±0.1% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 6.6µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise. It operates from 6.1V to 40V input, sources up to 10mA, and targets high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in automotive-grade systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6043BAUT41-T datasheet, MAX6043BAUT41-T pinout, MAX6043BAUT41-T application, or MAX6043BAUT41-T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, automotive-temperature-range use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6043BAUT41-T uses bandgap-based architecture with curvature-correction circuitry and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve low drift and high DC accuracy. Its dual-output topology (OUTF/OUTS) enables remote sensing for load regulation compensation without external capacitors.
It requires no output bypass capacitor for stability and remains stable with capacitive loads up to 100µF. The device draws only 320µA quiescent current at +25°C and supports operation across –40°C to +125°C, meeting AEC-Q100 stress-test readiness for automotive power domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.1% (±4.1mV) at +25°C - ensures ≤1 LSB error in 12-bit systems over full temp range |
| Tempco | 20ppm/°C max (–40°C to +125°C) - limits drift to ±1.68mV over full range, critical for precision metrology |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 6.6µVP-P - enables <16-bit effective resolution in low-frequency data acquisition |
| Supply Range | +6.1V to +40V - supports direct connection to unregulated 12V/24V automotive rails without pre-regulation |
| Load Current | Sources 10mA / sinks 0.6mA - drives SAR ADC reference inputs and small analog signal chains directly |
| Quiescent Current | 320µA typical at +25°C - extends battery life in portable test equipment and sensor nodes |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with 0–100µF - eliminates need for output capacitor, saving PCB area in space-constrained modules |
Pinout & Package
MAX6043BAUT41-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (outline U6FH-6), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance in high-density layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3 | I.C. (Internally Connected) | No external connection required; internal bond wire stubs - must remain floating per datasheet |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference plane; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into reference path |
| 4 | IN | Positive supply input; accepts 6.1V–40V; decoupling with 0.1µF ceramic near pin improves line-transient rejection |
| 5 | OUTF | Force output terminal; connects directly to load to deliver regulated 4.096V; enables Kelvin sensing when paired with OUTS |
| 6 | OUTS | Sense input terminal; returns to OUTF point near load to compensate for trace IR drop - eliminates 10–100mV errors in long traces |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Remote sensing (OUTF/OUTS) | Compensates for PCB trace resistance up to 1Ω, maintaining ±0.1% output accuracy at point-of-load |
| No output capacitor required | Reduces BOM count and board area by eliminating mandatory 1–10µF ceramic capacitor at reference output |
| Short-circuit protection | Limits output current to 60mA during fault, preventing damage when OUTF is accidentally shorted to GND or IN |
| Wide operating temperature | –40°C to +125°C operation validated per automotive qualification - suitable for engine control and ADAS sensor modules |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 150ppm max - ensures repeatable voltage after thermal cycling, critical for calibration-critical instrumentation |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5040IDR | 4.096V, 3ppm/°C max, 0.05% initial accuracy, SOIC-8 package, 950µA IQ | Lower drift but higher supply current and larger footprint - suited for lab-grade instruments, not space-constrained automotive modules | Select REF5040IDR only if <10ppm/°C drift is mandatory and board area/power budget allow SOIC-8 and 3× higher IQ |
| ADR444BRZ | 4.096V, 3ppm/°C max, 0.04% initial accuracy, SOIC-8, 750µA IQ, 1.8µVP-P noise | Superior noise and drift, but SOIC-8 footprint and higher cost - used in high-end calibration equipment, not cost-sensitive volume automotive | Choose ADR444BRZ when sub-2µVP-P noise is required for 18-bit+ systems; avoid for SOT23-restricted layouts or <500µA power budgets |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of MAX6043BAUT41-T over temperature?
The MAX6043BAUT41-T guarantees ±0.1% initial accuracy at +25°C and maintains output stability within ±0.1% over –40°C to +125°C due to its 20ppm/°C max temperature coefficient. At the extremes, this translates to ±1.68mV deviation from nominal 4.096V, verified across production lots per datasheet Section "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS-VOUT = +4.096V".
Does MAX6043BAUT41-T require an output bypass capacitor?
No, MAX6043BAUT41-T does not require an output bypass capacitor for stability. It is explicitly characterized as stable with capacitive loads from 0 to 100µF, enabling direct connection to ADC reference inputs or op-amp bias networks without added components - a key advantage confirmed in the "Features" and "Applications Information" sections of the datasheet.
How is remote sensing implemented on MAX6043BAUT41-T?
MAX6043BAUT41-T implements remote sensing using separate OUTF (pin 5) and OUTS (pin 6) terminals. OUTF delivers the regulated 4.096V to the load, while OUTS senses voltage at the load point and feeds back to internal error amplifiers. This Kelvin connection compensates for voltage drop across PCB traces or cables, preserving accuracy even with trace resistances up to 1Ω.
What is the maximum load current MAX6043BAUT41-T can source?
MAX6043BAUT41-T can source up to 10mA while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. This is confirmed in the "General Description" ("sources 10mA") and "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS-VOUT = +4.096V" table under "Load Regulation", where sourcing behavior is tested from 0 to 10mA across temperature.
Is MAX6043BAUT41-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6043BAUT41-T is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C and is built on Maxim's automotive-qualified BiCMOS process. Though not AEC-Q200 certified as a standalone component, its datasheet specifies automotive temperature range compliance and includes thermal hysteresis, long-term stability, and robustness data aligned with automotive reliability expectations.
