Product details
Overview
MAX6043CAUT33-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 3.3V voltage reference IC in SOT23-6 package, delivering ±0.5% initial accuracy and 65ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over –40°C to +125°C. It operates from 5.3V to 40V input, supplies up to 10mA load current, and features 5.3µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise-optimized for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in automotive sensor signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6043CAUT33-T datasheet, MAX6043CAUT33-T pinout, MAX6043CAUT33-T application, or MAX6043CAUT33-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed automotive-grade temp range, no-output-capacitor stability, low quiescent current (380–650µA), and force-sense output architecture enabling accurate remote sensing in noisy environments.
Technical Context
The MAX6043CAUT33-T implements a bandgap-based reference core with proprietary curvature-correction circuitry and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve stable 3.3V output across wide temperature and line variations. Its dual-output architecture separates force (OUTF) and sense (OUTS) terminals to reject PCB trace resistance errors.
It requires no external output capacitor for stability and remains functional with capacitive loads up to 100µF. Input line regulation is specified at 1.5–10ppm/V over 5.3V–40V supply range, and load regulation is ≤900ppm/mA for sourcing (0–10mA) and sinking (–0.6mA–0mA) conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±0.5% (3.2836V to 3.3165V at +25°C); enables direct interface with 3.3V logic and SAR ADC references. |
| Tempco | 65ppm/°C max (–40°C to +125°C); supports 12-bit accuracy without calibration in automotive ambient. |
| Supply Range | +5.3V to +40V; accommodates unregulated battery rails and industrial 24V systems with headroom margin. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 5.3µVP-P; contributes <0.5 LSB error in 16-bit 3.3V ADCs (LSB = 50.3µV). |
| Quiescent Current | 380–650µA (–40°C to +125°C); allows >10-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on monitoring nodes. |
| Load Drive | Sources 10mA / sinks 0.6mA; sufficient to drive ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small DACs. |
| Stability | Stable with 0–100µF capacitive loads; eliminates need for output bypass cap-reducing BOM count and board area. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6043CAUT33-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (outline U6FH-6, land pattern 90-0175), 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) | Not bonded; must remain unconnected-no external routing or pull-up/pull-down allowed. |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference; requires low-impedance connection to system AGND plane for noise immunity. |
| 4 | IN | Positive supply input; accepts 5.3V–40V; decoupling with 0.1µF ceramic near pin improves line-transient rejection. |
| 5 | OUTF | Force output; drives load directly; connect to OUTS via shortest possible trace to enable Kelvin sensing. |
| 6 | OUTS | Sense input; returns feedback to internal error amplifier; connects to load's reference node to cancel trace IR drop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Force-sense output architecture | Eliminates voltage drop error from PCB traces or connectors-critical for remote sensor front-ends and modular systems. |
| No-output-capacitor stability | Reduces bill-of-materials cost and layout area; avoids capacitor aging, ESR drift, and microphonic effects in vibration-prone environments. |
| Automotive temperature range | –40°C to +125°C operation qualified per AEC-Q100 stress test flow; suitable for under-hood and ADAS power domains. |
| Short-circuit protection | Limits output current to 60mA during fault; prevents thermal runaway and enables safe operation in test jigs or miswired prototypes. |
| Low 1/f noise | 5.3µVP-P (0.1–10Hz) enables high-precision DC measurements in weigh scales, medical sensors, and strain-gauge bridges. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3333AIDBVR | 3.3V, 30ppm/°C max, 0.1% initial accuracy, SOT23-5, 3.9V min supply | Lower tempco but narrower supply range; lacks force-sense outputs and automotive temp rating | Select when higher accuracy is needed and supply is regulated ≥3.9V; not suitable for unregulated 12V/24V rails or remote sensing. |
| ADR3433ARJZ-R7 | 3.3V, 10ppm/°C max, 0.1% initial accuracy, SOT23-6, 3.6V min supply, 4.5µVP-P noise | Superior tempco and noise, but only rated –40°C to +125°C with derated specs above +105°C; no force-sense architecture | Prefer for lab-grade instrumentation where ultimate stability matters more than automotive qualification or trace IR cancellation. |
Compared with REF3333AIDBVR and ADR3433ARJZ-R7, the MAX6043CAUT33-T trades tighter initial accuracy and lower tempco for robustness in harsh supply environments, built-in short-circuit protection, and force-sense capability-making it uniquely suited for automotive and industrial field devices where reliability and layout flexibility outweigh marginal spec improvements.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MAX6043CAUT33-T?
The MAX6043CAUT33-T supports an absolute maximum input voltage of +42V, with recommended operating range from +5.3V to +40V. Operation above +40V risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. The device's line regulation is characterized from +5.3V to +40V, ensuring stable 3.3V output across this full range.
Does MAX6043CAUT33-T require an output bypass capacitor?
No, the MAX6043CAUT33-T does not require an output bypass capacitor for stability and is explicitly designed to operate stably with capacitive loads from 0 to 100µF. This eliminates a common BOM item and simplifies layout-especially valuable in space-constrained applications like automotive ECUs and handheld instruments.
What is the purpose of the OUTF and OUTS pins on MAX6043CAUT33-T?
OUTF (pin 5) is the force output that delivers current to the load, while OUTS (pin 6) is the sense input that feeds back the actual reference voltage at the load point. Connecting them together near the device enables standard operation; separating them with a Kelvin connection cancels voltage drop across PCB traces or connectors-ensuring precise 3.3V at the load.
Can MAX6043CAUT33-T be used in battery-powered applications?
Yes, the MAX6043CAUT33-T draws only 380–650µA over its full temperature range, making it highly suitable for battery-powered systems. Its wide 5.3V–40V input range also supports direct connection to multi-cell Li-ion or lead-acid batteries, and its low noise (5.3µVP-P) preserves resolution in low-power data acquisition nodes.
Is MAX6043CAUT33-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6043CAUT33-T is specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C and manufactured using processes aligned with AEC-Q100 requirements. While not formally AEC-Q100 certified in this specific variant, its electrical specifications, packaging, and characterization across the full automotive temperature range make it widely deployed in automotive cabin, chassis, and powertrain subsystems.
