Product details
Overview
MAX6061BEUR-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, low-dropout, micropower series voltage reference delivering 1.248V output with ±0.48% initial accuracy and 20ppm/°C (max) temperature coefficient over –40°C to +85°C. It sources up to 5mA or sinks 2mA, draws only 90µA typical supply current, and operates from 2.5V to 12.6V input - ideal for high-accuracy ADC biasing in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6061BEUR-T datasheet, MAX6061BEUR-T pinout, MAX6061BEUR-T application, or MAX6061BEUR-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200mV max dropout at 1mA, no-output-capacitor-required operation, 13µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise, and SOT23-3 footprint compatibility with space-constrained, low-power embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6061BEUR-T employs a proprietary curvature-correction circuit and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve ultra-low drift and high initial accuracy. Its BiCMOS process and 117-transistor architecture enable stable regulation without external compensation components.
As a three-terminal series-mode reference, it eliminates the supply-current waste inherent in shunt-mode alternatives by drawing only load-dependent current - supply current varies just 3.4–8.0µA/V across 2.5V–12.6V input, enabling efficient operation in wide-input-voltage battery systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.248V (±0.48% initial accuracy at +25°C - supports 12-bit+ ADC reference stability) |
| Temp Coefficient | 20ppm/°C (max) - ensures ≤0.25% output drift over full –40°C to +85°C range |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV (max at 1mA load) - enables operation with input as low as VOUT + 0.2V |
| Supply Current | 90µA (typ), 125µA (max) - ultra-low quiescent draw extends battery life in always-on sensors |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 13µVp-p - low flicker noise critical for precision measurement front-ends |
| Load Current | Sources 5mA / sinks 2mA - drives SAR ADC references and op-amp bias networks directly |
| Line Regulation | 10–90µV/V - minimal output shift across input voltage variations improves system PSRR |
Pinout & Package
MAX6061BEUR-T is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 1.3mm × 0.8mm footprint and 0.95mm height - optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Voltage Supply | Accepts 2.5V–12.6V; internal regulation starts above VOUT + 0.2V; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic for best line transient response |
| 2 (OUT) | Precision Reference Output | 1.248V ±0.48% output; stable with capacitive loads ≥0.1µF; no external capacitor required for stability |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Low-impedance return path; must be connected to clean system ground plane to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SOT23-3 package | Enables placement adjacent to ADCs or microcontrollers in wearables and IoT nodes without board area penalty |
| No output capacitor required | Eliminates 1–10µF ceramic capacitor and associated layout constraints - reduces BOM count and assembly cost |
| Stable with capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC input caps or op-amp feedback networks without oscillation risk |
| Supply-current independence | Draws ~90µA regardless of VIN (2.5V–12.6V), unlike shunt references whose current scales with supply voltage |
| Low 13µVp-p noise (0.1–10Hz) | Meets noise budget for 16-bit delta-sigma ADCs and precision instrumentation amplifiers |
Applications
| Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) | Portable Battery-Powered Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6061AEUR-T | ±0.32% initial accuracy (tighter tolerance), same 1.248V output and SOT23-3 package | Better suited for 16-bit+ data acquisition where initial offset must be minimized before calibration | Select when tighter initial accuracy justifies minor cost premium; identical pinout and layout |
| ADR3412ARJZ-R7 | 1.2V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C drift, but 120µA supply current and requires 1µF output cap | Higher precision at expense of board area and power; not drop-in due to different output voltage and stability requirements | Choose for ultra-low-drift applications where 1.2V matches system needs and extra capacitor area is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6061AEUR-T, the MAX6061BEUR-T trades 0.16% initial accuracy for broader availability and lower unit cost, while maintaining identical thermal performance and noise. Against ADR3412ARJZ-R7, it offers lower supply current and capacitor-free operation at the cost of slightly higher drift - making it preferable for space- and energy-constrained portable designs.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX6061BEUR-T?
The MAX6061BEUR-T has a guaranteed initial output voltage of 1.248V with ±0.48% tolerance at +25°C, meaning the actual output falls between 1.242V and 1.254V under nominal conditions. This tolerance is specified across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, and the device maintains tight regulation via its curvature-correction circuit and laser-trimmed resistors.
Does the MAX6061BEUR-T require an external output capacitor?
No, the MAX6061BEUR-T does not require an external output capacitor for stability - it is internally compensated and remains stable with purely capacitive loads. An optional 0.1µF ceramic capacitor may be added at the OUT pin to improve transient response during large load steps, but it is not necessary for basic operation or frequency stability.
What is the minimum input voltage needed for the MAX6061BEUR-T to regulate properly?
The MAX6061BEUR-T requires a minimum input voltage of VOUT + 0.2V = 1.448V to maintain regulation, though the datasheet specifies guaranteed operation from 2.5V to 12.6V. At 1mA load, the maximum dropout is 200mV - so with 1.248V output, 1.448V input is sufficient. However, 2.5V is the tested lower limit to ensure performance across temperature and process variation.
How does the supply current of the MAX6061BEUR-T vary with input voltage?
The MAX6061BEUR-T exhibits exceptional supply-current stability: typical quiescent current is 90µA, with variation limited to 3.4–8.0µA/V across 2.5V–12.6V input. This means supply current changes by less than 80µA over its full input range - a key advantage over shunt references whose current scales linearly with VIN and load.
Can the MAX6061BEUR-T sink current, and if so, how much?
Yes, the MAX6061BEUR-T can sink up to 2mA of load current - a critical capability for driving active loads like op-amp inputs or pull-down networks in precision analog circuits. This bidirectional current capability (source 5mA / sink 2mA) allows flexible interface design without external transistors or level-shifting components.
