Product details
Overview
MAX6064AEUR+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, low-dropout, micropower series voltage reference delivering a stable 4.096V output with ±0.2% 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 down to 4.296V input (VOUT + 200mV), making it ideal for high-resolution ADC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6064AEUR+T datasheet, MAX6064AEUR+T pinout, MAX6064AEUR+T application, or MAX6064AEUR+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 4.096V output tolerance, ultra-low quiescent current independent of input voltage, absence of required output capacitor, and SOT23-3 footprint compatibility with space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6064AEUR+T is a three-terminal, series-mode voltage reference using proprietary curvature-correction circuitry and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve high initial accuracy and low thermal drift. Its internal compensation eliminates need for external capacitors, and its supply current varies by only ≤8µA/V across 4.296V–12.6V input range.
It delivers 4.096V with 50mV max dropout at 1mA load and maintains stability with capacitive loads - critical for driving SAR ADC reference inputs and precision sensor signal chains where low noise (50µVp-p, 0.1Hz–10Hz) and high PSRR (72dB at 120Hz) are required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.2% (max) at +25°C - enables direct interface with 12-bit ADCs requiring exact VREF = VDD/2 or 4.096V full-scale calibration. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤20ppm/°C (max) - ensures <±0.17% output drift over –40°C to +85°C, suitable for industrial-grade measurement systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA (typ), ≤125µA (max) - minimizes battery drain in always-on portable devices; variation ≤8µA/V supports wide input range without efficiency penalty. |
| Dropout Voltage | 50mV (typ), 200mV (max) at 1mA - allows operation from single Li-ion cell (≥4.296V) or regulated 5V rail with minimal headroom loss. |
| Load Current | Sources 5mA / sinks 2mA - drives medium-current ADC references, op-amp bias networks, or DAC buffers without external gain stages. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 50µVp-p - low enough to avoid degrading ENOB in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems. |
| PSRR | 72dB at 120Hz - suppresses ripple from switching regulators feeding the reference input. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6064AEUR+T is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and 1.45mm height - optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 4.296V to 12.6V; requires no series resistor; bypass capacitor (0.1µF) recommended for line-transient immunity. |
| 2 - OUT | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated 4.096V; stable with 0–1µF capacitive loads; no external compensation needed. |
| 3 - GND | Analog ground reference | Must be connected to clean system ground plane; separates reference return from noisy digital or power grounds. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Initial accuracy | ±0.2% (max) - eliminates factory calibration for many 12-bit applications and reduces BOM cost vs. higher-grade references. |
| No output capacitor required | Internally compensated - saves board area and component count in wearables, handheld meters, and IoT edge nodes. |
| Low dropout | 200mV (max) at 1mA - enables use with buck-boost or LDO outputs near VOUT, extending usable battery voltage range. |
| Capacitive load stability | Stable with 0–1µF output capacitance - simplifies design when driving ADC sample-and-hold or op-amp buffers with parasitic capacitance. |
| Supply current independence | ≤8µA/V variation - ensures predictable power budget across varying input rails (e.g., aging battery or unregulated supply). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3440BRJZ-R7 | 4.096V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C TC, but 120µA quiescent current and requires 1µF output capacitor. | Better accuracy and TC, but higher supply current and mandatory capacitor reduce suitability for ultra-low-power or space-constrained designs. | Select when absolute drift performance outweighs board area and battery life constraints. |
| REF3040AIDBZR | 4.096V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C TC, 45µA quiescent current, no output capacitor required. | Lower quiescent current than MAX6064AEUR+T but higher temperature drift limits use in extended-temperature industrial environments. | Select for longest battery life in consumer-grade portable devices operating 0°C–70°C. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for MAX6064AEUR+T over temperature?
The MAX6064AEUR+T guarantees ±0.2% initial accuracy at +25°C and maintains ≤20ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to +85°C, resulting in total output variation of ≤±0.17% across the full industrial temperature range. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for MAX6064A grade under "Output Voltage Temperature Coefficient" and "Output Voltage" parameters.
Does MAX6064AEUR+T require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6064AEUR+T is internally compensated and does not require an external output capacitor for stability - a key differentiator from many competing references. It remains stable with 0–1µF capacitive loads, as stated in the "Features" and "Applications Information" sections of the datasheet.
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX6064AEUR+T to regulate at full load?
The MAX6064AEUR+T requires a minimum input voltage of VOUT + 200mV = 4.296V to maintain regulation at 1mA load, per the Selector Guide and Electrical Characteristics table. Dropout voltage is specified as 50mV (typ) and 200mV (max) at 1mA, ensuring reliable operation from single-cell Li-ion or regulated 5V rails.
Can MAX6064AEUR+T sink current, and how much?
Yes, the MAX6064AEUR+T can sink up to 2mA of load current, as explicitly specified in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics tables. This bidirectional capability supports applications like active filtering, precision current sinking, or biasing circuits requiring controlled discharge paths.
What is the noise performance of MAX6064AEUR+T, and how does it impact high-resolution ADCs?
The MAX6064AEUR+T exhibits 50µVp-p noise in the 0.1Hz–10Hz band, as measured in the MAX6064-specific Electrical Characteristics table. This low noise floor prevents degradation of effective number of bits (ENOB) in 16-bit+ SAR and sigma-delta ADCs, especially in precision DC measurement applications like strain gauge or thermistor readouts.
