Product details
Overview
MAX6045AEUR+T from Analog Devices is a precision, low-dropout, micropower series-mode voltage reference delivering 4.500V ±0.2% initial accuracy in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package. It features <15ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 100mV dropout at 500μA load, and operates from VOUT + 0.2V to 12.6V supply across –40°C to +85°C. It serves as a stable reference for high-resolution ADCs and battery-powered sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6045AEUR+T datasheet, MAX6045AEUR+T pinout, MAX6045AEUR+T application, or MAX6045AEUR+T equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, real-world use cases, pin-level design meaning, and validated alternative options for precision analog systems requiring ultra-low quiescent current (≤35μA) and minimal board area.
Technical Context
The MAX6045AEUR+T uses a proprietary curvature-correction circuit and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve <15ppm/°C tempco over –40°C to +85°C and 0.2% initial accuracy. Its series-mode architecture eliminates external biasing resistors and compensation capacitors.
It delivers ±500μA output sourcing/sinking capability with 0.16μV/μA load regulation (source) and 0.22μV/μA (sink), remains stable with 0–2.2nF load capacitance, and exhibits only 0.8μA/V supply current variation across input voltage - enabling predictable power budgeting in low-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.500V ±0.2% (±9mV) at +25°C - enables direct interface with 12-bit+ SAR ADCs without gain calibration |
| Tempco | ≤15ppm/°C (0°C to +70°C) - ensures ≤0.54mV drift over industrial temperature range |
| Quiescent Current | ≤35μA - supports >10-year battery life in 10μA-average IoT sensors |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 500μA load - allows operation from 4.6V supply in 5V-rail-constrained systems |
| Load Regulation | 0.16μV/μA (source), 0.22μV/μA (sink) - maintains <100μV error under full 500μA dynamic load swing |
| Line Regulation | 25μV/V - contributes <125μV error over 5V supply tolerance (±5%) |
| Capacitive Load Stability | 0–2.2nF - eliminates need for output capacitor, saving PCB space in wearables and medical patches |
Pinout & Package
MAX6045AEUR+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), measuring 2.92mm × 1.30mm × 1.00mm, with gull-wing leads and coplanarity ≤0.10mm. Pin 1 (IN) accepts input voltage; Pin 2 (OUT) delivers regulated 4.500V; Pin 3 (GND) provides reference ground return path.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF43GM | 4.096V output, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 45μA IQ, SOIC-8 package | Higher accuracy and lower tempco but larger footprint and higher supply current | Select when sub-ppm/°C stability is critical and board space permits SOIC-8 |
| ADR3445 | 4.500V output, 10ppm/°C max tempco, 38μA IQ, SOT23-3 package | Nearly identical voltage and package; slightly better tempco but 3μA higher quiescent current | Prefer for new designs where 10ppm/°C is mandatory and 3μA extra IQ is acceptable |
Compared with REF43GM and ADR3445, MAX6045AEUR+T offers the lowest quiescent current (≤35μA) in SOT23-3 while maintaining 4.500V output and 15ppm/°C tempco - making it optimal for size- and battery-limited applications where moderate tempco suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current the MAX6045AEUR+T can source or sink?
The MAX6045AEUR+T can source or sink up to ±500μA while maintaining regulation within specifications. At 500μA load, dropout voltage remains ≤200mV, and load regulation is specified at 0.16μV/μA (source) and 0.22μV/μA (sink). Exceeding ±500μA may cause output voltage deviation beyond guaranteed limits or thermal stress in the SOT23-3 package.
Does the MAX6045AEUR+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6045AEUR+T is internally compensated and stable with output capacitance ranging from 0 to 2.2nF. An external capacitor is optional and only recommended in applications with fast load or supply transients to reduce overshoot/undershoot. Omitting it saves board area - a key advantage in wearables and miniaturized sensor modules using MAX6045AEUR+T.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the MAX6045AEUR+T to regulate properly?
The MAX6045AEUR+T requires a minimum input voltage of VOUT + 0.2V = 4.7V to maintain regulation at full load. The absolute maximum input is +13.5V. Below 4.7V, the device enters dropout mode and output voltage drops linearly with input; operation below 4.7V is not guaranteed per datasheet specifications for MAX6045AEUR+T.
How does the supply current of the MAX6045AEUR+T vary with input voltage?
The MAX6045AEUR+T exhibits only 0.8μA/V variation in quiescent supply current across its input voltage range (4.7V to 12.6V). This near-constant current draw - typically 27–35μA - simplifies power budgeting and extends battery life in systems where input voltage fluctuates, unlike shunt references whose current scales with VIN. This behavior is intrinsic to the series-mode architecture of MAX6045AEUR+T.
Is the MAX6045AEUR+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX60xx family?
Yes, all MAX60xx devices (including MAX6012, MAX6021, MAX6025, MAX6030, MAX6041, MAX6045, and MAX6050) share identical 3-pin SOT23-3 pinout (IN, OUT, GND) and package dimensions. This allows drop-in replacement across output voltages (1.247V to 5.000V) without PCB redesign - a key design flexibility benefit confirmed for MAX6045AEUR+T and its family members.
