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 range. It is designed for high-accuracy analog signal chains in battery-powered instrumentation and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6045AEUR-T datasheet, MAX6045AEUR-T pinout, MAX6045AEUR-T application, or MAX6045AEUR-T equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, real-world design context, SOT23-3 terminal mapping, application-specific value statements, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX6045AEUR-T uses a curvature-corrected bandgap core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve ≤15ppm/°C TC over –40°C to +85°C and 0.16μV/μA sourcing load regulation. Its series-mode architecture eliminates external biasing resistors and enables supply current independence (35μA max, varying only 0.8μA/V with input voltage).
Internally compensated for stability with 0–2.2nF capacitive loads, it requires no external capacitor-reducing board area in space-constrained designs. Turn-on settling time is 180μs to 0.1% of final value with 50pF load capacitance, and it maintains 76dB ripple rejection at 120Hz.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3445ARJZ-R7 | 4.5V output, 10ppm/°C max TC, 30μA IQ, but requires ≥2.5V headroom (dropout ~250mV at 500μA) | Higher dropout limits use in 4.75V systems; better TC but higher supply sensitivity (1.5μA/V) | Select when ultra-low TC outweighs dropout penalty and supply headroom ≥250mV is available |
| REF3345AIDBVR | 4.5V output, 30ppm/°C max TC, 7.5μA IQ, 120mV dropout, SOT23-3 compatible pinout | Lower power but looser TC; less suitable for wide-temperature industrial calibration | Select for ultra-low-power sensor nodes where ±0.1% accuracy over 0–70°C suffices |
Compared with ADR3445ARJZ-R7 and REF3345AIDBVR, MAX6045AEUR-T offers the optimal balance of low dropout (100mV), tight TC (≤15ppm/°C), and moderate quiescent current (35μA), making it preferred for battery-operated industrial instruments needing full-temperature-range accuracy without layout redesign.

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 specified load regulation (0.16μV/μA sourcing, 0.22μV/μA sinking). At 500μA load, dropout remains ≤200mV, ensuring stable 4.500V output even under full rated current. Exceeding this limit may cause output deviation beyond datasheet guarantees.
Does the MAX6045AEUR-T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6045AEUR-T is internally compensated and stable with 0–2.2nF output capacitance. An external capacitor is optional and only recommended in applications subject to fast load or supply transients to improve transient response-no capacitor is needed for basic DC reference stability.
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. Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input. At 500μA load, dropout is typically 100mV, so 4.6V input yields ~4.5V output-but guaranteed regulation starts at 4.7V per datasheet specification.
How does the MAX6045AEUR-T compare to shunt voltage references in terms of supply efficiency?
Unlike shunt references that waste current through a series resistor, the MAX6045AEUR-T draws only 27–35μA quiescent current independent of load. Its supply current varies just 0.8μA/V with input voltage, minimizing wasted power-critical for battery life in devices like MAX6045AEUR-T-based data loggers operating for years on coin cells.
Is the MAX6045AEUR-T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX60xx family?
Yes, all MAX60xx variants-including MAX6045AEUR-T, MAX6041AEUR-T, and MAX6050AEUR-T-share identical SOT23-3 pinout (IN, OUT, GND) and package dimensions. This allows direct substitution within the same family when only output voltage differs, simplifying design reuse and BOM rationalization.
