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 quiescent current, and operates down to 4.296V input (VOUT + 200mV), making it ideal for high-accuracy ADC biasing in portable 3.3V/5V systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6064AEUR-T datasheet, MAX6064AEUR-T pinout, MAX6064AEUR-T application, or MAX6064AEUR-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low supply current independence from VIN, no-output-capacitor-required stability, 50–190µs turn-on settling, and guaranteed performance across industrial temperature range without external compensation.
Technical Context
The MAX6064AEUR-T is a three-terminal, internally compensated series-mode voltage reference using proprietary curvature-correction circuitry and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors. Its architecture eliminates need for external output capacitors while maintaining stability with capacitive loads up to 1µF.
It features supply-current variation of only 3.2µA/V across 4.296V–12.6V input range, dropout voltage ≤200mV at 1mA load, and 72dB PSRR at 120Hz - enabling robust operation in noisy, battery-constrained environments where precision analog signal chains demand clean, stable references.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.2% (max) at +25°C - ensures direct compatibility with 12-bit ADC full-scale ranges and reduces calibration overhead. |
| Tempco | 20ppm/°C (max) - guarantees ≤±0.82mV drift over –40°C to +85°C, critical for uncalibrated field-deployed instrumentation. |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA (typ), ≤125µA (max) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes and portable DMMs. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤200mV at 1mA load - supports operation from single Li-ion cell (3.0V min) when paired with LDOs or low-VIN regulators. |
| Load Regulation | 0.5–0.9mV/mA sourcing - maintains <±0.5 LSB error in 12-bit systems under dynamic load conditions. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 50µVp-p - contributes <0.012 LSB RMS noise to 4.096V-referenced 12-bit converters. |
| PSRR @ 120Hz | 72dB - suppresses line ripple and switching regulator noise before ADC sampling. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6064AEUR-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 space-constrained portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 4.296V–12.6V; requires no series resistor; internal regulation rejects supply variations up to 8µA/V change. |
| 2 (OUT) | Precision reference output | Provides 4.096V with sourcing/sinking capability; stable without output capacitor; drives ADC REF pins directly. |
| 3 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Must be connected to clean system AGND; separates reference path from digital return currents to preserve accuracy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Initial accuracy | ±0.2% (max) - eliminates factory trimming in cost-sensitive production test flows for portable medical and industrial sensors. |
| No-output-capacitor operation | Fully stable with 0pF output capacitance - saves board area and BOM count in ultra-thin wearables and handheld analyzers. |
| Low dropout | 200mV max at 1mA - enables use after low-headroom LDOs or directly from partially discharged batteries. |
| Capacitive load tolerance | Stable with ≥0.1µF ceramic output cap - improves transient response during ADC conversion bursts without oscillation risk. |
| Supply current independence | 90µA ±8µA/V variation - ensures predictable power budget across wide input voltage swings in multi-rail systems. |

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 tempco, 120µA IQ, SOT23-3 | Higher accuracy and lower tempco but 33% higher quiescent current; requires 1µF output cap for stability | Select when ultimate long-term stability and tighter tempco outweigh battery life concerns in lab-grade instruments. |
| REF3040AIDBZR | 4.096V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C tempco, 45µA IQ, SOT23-3 | Lower IQ but significantly higher tempco; no output cap required; wider input range (2.2V–12V) | Select for ultra-low-power IoT edge nodes where temperature range is limited (0°C–70°C) and 12-bit accuracy is sufficient. |
Compared with ADR3440BRJZ-R7 and REF3040AIDBZR, the MAX6064AEUR-T uniquely balances ±0.2% accuracy, 20ppm/°C tempco, and 90µA IQ without mandatory output capacitance - making it optimal for cost- and space-constrained portable 12-bit data acquisition where industrial temperature coverage is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MAX6064AEUR-T?
The MAX6064AEUR-T has an absolute maximum input voltage of +13.5V referenced to GND. However, its specified operating input range is (VOUT + 0.2V) to +12.6V - i.e., 4.296V to 12.6V. Operation above 12.6V voids parametric guarantees and risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does MAX6064AEUR-T require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6064AEUR-T is internally compensated and stable with 0pF output capacitance. An optional 0.1µF ceramic capacitor may be added to improve transient response under step-load conditions, but it is not required for loop stability - a key advantage for space-critical PCB layouts.
What is the load current capability of MAX6064AEUR-T?
The MAX6064AEUR-T can source up to 5mA into a load and sink up to 2mA from a load. Load regulation is specified as 0.5–0.9mV/mA for sourcing and 2.2–8mV/mA for sinking, ensuring minimal output deviation across its full rated current range.
How does MAX6064AEUR-T perform under temperature cycling?
The MAX6064AEUR-T exhibits 130ppm output voltage hysteresis after cycling from –40°C to +85°C and back to +25°C. This hysteresis reflects mechanical stress effects in the package and bandgap core, and is fully characterized and bounded in the datasheet for design margining.
Is MAX6064AEUR-T compatible with 3.3V-only systems?
Yes - the MAX6064AEUR-T's minimum input voltage is 4.296V (VOUT + 200mV), so it cannot be powered directly from a 3.3V rail. However, it is fully compatible when supplied by a 3.3V LDO followed by a boost stage, or more commonly, by a 5V system rail derived from USB or a buck-boost converter - common in 3.3V logic systems with auxiliary 5V domains.
