Product details
Overview
The MAX6045AEUR from Maxim Integrated is a precision, low-dropout, micropower series-mode voltage reference in SOT23-3 packaging, delivering 4.500V ±0.9mV (0.2% initial accuracy) with <15ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 100mV dropout at 500µA load current. It operates from (VOUT + 0.2V) to 12.6V supply, draws ≤35µA quiescent current, and supports ±500µA sourcing/sinking-ideal for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6045AEUR datasheet, MAX6045AEUR pinout, MAX6045AEUR application, or MAX6045AEUR equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage stability over temperature, ultra-low supply current independence from VIN, dropout performance under load, and compatibility with 0–2.2nF capacitive loads without external compensation.
Technical Context
This device uses a proprietary curvature-correction circuit and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve <15ppm/°C tempco and 0.2% initial accuracy across –40°C to +85°C. Its series-mode architecture eliminates need for external bias resistors or compensation capacitors, unlike shunt references.
It delivers stable 4.500V output with 0.16µV/µA load regulation and 25µV/V line regulation, while maintaining ripple rejection of 76dB (10Hz–10kHz) and noise of 215µVRMS (0.1Hz–10Hz). Turn-on settling time is 180µs to 0.1% of final value.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3445ARMZ | 4.500V output, 12ppm/°C max tempco, 45µA max quiescent current, requires 1µF output capacitor for stability | Higher supply current; capacitor requirement increases board area and cost | Select MAX6045AEUR when minimizing quiescent current and eliminating external capacitors is critical |
| REF3345AIDBVR | 4.500V output, 10ppm/°C max tempco, 6.5µA typical quiescent current, but 200mV dropout at 500µA and limited to 25mA max load | Lower IQ but higher dropout and lower sink/source capability limits use in active bias networks | Select MAX6045AEUR when ±500µA sourcing/sinking and 100mV dropout are required for driving precision op-amps or DACs |
Compared with ADR3445ARMZ and REF3345AIDBVR, MAX6045AEUR uniquely balances ultra-low quiescent current (≤35µA), minimal dropout (100mV), full ±500µA drive strength, and capacitor-free stability-making it optimal for space- and power-constrained precision analog systems where reference loading and thermal drift must both be tightly controlled.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX6045AEUR over temperature?
The MAX6045AEUR guarantees 4.500V ±0.9mV (0.2%) initial accuracy at +25°C. Over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, total error remains within ±0.0675% (±3.04mV) due to its <15ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 130ppm hysteresis-verified by the "box method" per datasheet Note 2. This performance is confirmed in the MAX6045A grade electrical characteristics table on page 7.
Does the MAX6045AEUR require an external output capacitor?
No, the MAX6045AEUR is internally compensated and stable with capacitive loads from 0 to 2.2nF-no external capacitor is required. This eliminates BOM cost and PCB area, especially valuable in space-critical applications like wearables or handheld instruments. An optional capacitor may improve transient response to step-load changes, but it is never mandatory for stability.
What is the minimum input voltage needed for the MAX6045AEUR to regulate properly?
The MAX6045AEUR requires a minimum input voltage of VOUT + 0.2V = 4.7V to maintain regulation at full 500µA load. Its 100mV dropout voltage (specified at 500µA) means it can sustain 4.500V output with only 4.6V input under light loads. The absolute maximum input is 12.6V, and operation below 4.7V may cause output droop or turn-off transients.
How does the supply current of the MAX6045AEUR vary with input voltage?
The MAX6045AEUR exhibits exceptional supply-current stability: quiescent current varies only 0.8µA per volt of input voltage change (IIN/VIN = 0.8µA/V), remaining ≤35µA across its full input range. This near-independence from VIN simplifies power budgeting in systems with fluctuating rails-unlike shunt references whose current scales linearly with supply voltage.
Can the MAX6045AEUR source and sink current simultaneously?
No-the MAX6045AEUR operates in series-mode and can either source up to +500µA (to a lighter load) or sink up to –500µA (from a heavier load), but not both simultaneously. Its output stage is a single-ended buffer; bidirectional current flow occurs sequentially depending on load demand relative to reference node, enabling flexible biasing of op-amps, ADCs, and DACs without external transistors.
