Product details
Overview
The MAX6045BEUR from Maxim Integrated is a precision, low-dropout, micropower series-mode voltage reference in SOT23-3 package, delivering 4.500V ±0.009V output with 0.2% initial accuracy and ≤15ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to +85°C. It draws only 35µA quiescent current, supports ±500µA load sourcing/sinking, and maintains stability with up to 2.2nF capacitive load-ideal for battery-powered data acquisition and industrial sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6045BEUR datasheet, MAX6045BEUR pinout, MAX6045BEUR application, or MAX6045BEUR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, thermal performance data, load/transient behavior, dropout characteristics at 500µA, and validated alternative options for precision analog signal chains requiring stable 4.5V reference rails.
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. It operates as a series-mode (three-terminal) reference, eliminating need for external bias resistors or compensation capacitors.
Its supply current varies only 0.8µA/V across input voltage (VIN = VOUT + 0.2V to 12.6V), and it delivers 100mV dropout at 500µA load while maintaining 0.12µV/µA load regulation and 25µV/V line regulation-enabling reliable operation in low-voltage, space-constrained systems.

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 | Higher initial accuracy (±0.1%), higher quiescent current (120µA), same 4.5V output and SOT23-3 package | Better accuracy but reduces battery life in ultra-low-power designs | Select when absolute accuracy outweighs current consumption |
| REF3045AIDBZR | Lower tempco (8ppm/°C), higher max load current (25mA), larger SOT23-5 package with enable pin | Requires PCB redesign; suited for high-current analog front-ends | Choose when long-term stability and drive capability are critical |
Compared with ADR3445ARJZ-R7 and REF3045AIDBZR, the MAX6045BEUR offers the lowest quiescent current (35µA) and smallest footprint (SOT23-3), making it optimal for size- and energy-constrained applications where 0.2% accuracy is sufficient and load current stays below 500µA.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MAX6045BEUR?
The MAX6045BEUR supports input voltages from (VOUT + 0.2V) = 4.7V up to 12.6V. Absolute maximum rating is +13.5V on the IN pin. Operation above 12.6V risks exceeding power dissipation limits in the SOT23-3 package, especially at elevated temperatures.
Does MAX6045BEUR require an external output capacitor?
No. The MAX6045BEUR is internally compensated and stable with 0–2.2nF output capacitance. An external capacitor is optional and only recommended in applications with fast load or supply transients to improve overshoot/undershoot response-no capacitor is needed for basic DC reference stability.
What is the load current capability of MAX6045BEUR?
The MAX6045BEUR can source or sink up to ±500µA while maintaining specified accuracy and dropout voltage. At ±500µA, dropout remains ≤200mV, and load regulation is 0.12µV/µA-ensuring minimal output shift across its full rated load range.
How does MAX6045BEUR compare to shunt-mode references like TL431?
Unlike TL431, the MAX6045BEUR is a three-terminal series-mode reference that draws near-constant 35µA supply current regardless of input voltage or load-eliminating the need for a series bias resistor and avoiding wasted current. It also achieves superior tempco (<15ppm/°C vs. ~50ppm/°C) and lower noise.
Is MAX6045BEUR suitable for use with high-resolution ADCs?
Yes. With 215µVRMS (0.1Hz–10kHz) noise, 0.2% initial accuracy, and <15ppm/°C tempco, the MAX6045BEUR supports 16-bit to 18-bit SAR and delta-sigma ADCs. Its 0.12µV/µA load regulation prevents code-dependent errors during dynamic conversions.
