Product details
Overview
MAX6064BEUR from Maxim Integrated is a precision, micropower, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering a stable 4.096V output with ±0.4% 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 with input voltages as low as 4.296V (VOUT + 200mV), making it ideal for high-resolution ADC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6064BEUR datasheet, MAX6064BEUR pinout, MAX6064BEUR application, or MAX6064BEUR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.096V output compatibility with 12-bit DACs/ADCs, ultra-low quiescent current for battery longevity, dropout voltage ≤200mV at 1mA, absence of required output capacitor, and SOT23-3 footprint for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6064BEUR employs a proprietary curvature-correction circuit 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 3.2µA/V across 4.296V–12.6V input range.
As a three-terminal series-mode reference, it avoids the inefficiency of shunt-mode alternatives by drawing load-dependent current only when required - enabling stable operation with capacitive loads and step-load transients without oscillation or overshoot.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.4% (max) at +25°C - matches standard 12-bit full-scale reference for SAR and sigma-delta ADCs |
| Temperature Coefficient | 20ppm/°C (max) - ensures ≤±0.82mV drift over –40°C to +85°C ambient, critical for precision measurement |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤200mV at 1mA load - enables operation from 4.296V input, supporting single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 90µA (typ), ≤125µA (max) - extends battery life in always-on portable devices beyond 10 years at 10µA average system load |
| Load Regulation | 0.5–0.9mV/mA sourcing - maintains <±0.1% output stability across full 0–5mA load range, essential for sensor excitation |
| Noise (0.1Hz–10Hz) | 50µVp-p - contributes <0.012% of full-scale error in 4.096V-referenced 16-bit ADCs |
| Line Regulation | 130µV/V (max) - limits input ripple sensitivity to <0.003% per volt, simplifying power-supply filtering |
Pinout & Package
MAX6064BEUR is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 1.3mm × 0.8mm footprint and 0.95mm height - optimized for automated placement and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Voltage Supply | Accepts 4.296V–12.6V; requires no series resistor; bypassing with 0.1µF ceramic improves line-transient response |
| 2 (OUT) | Precision Reference Output | Delivers regulated 4.096V; stable with 0–1µF capacitive loads; no external compensation capacitor needed |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Must be connected directly to low-impedance system ground plane; separates reference return from digital/power ground paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.4% (max) - eliminates factory calibration for mid-precision data acquisition systems |
| Temperature Stability | 20ppm/°C (max) - meets industrial-grade drift requirements without external compensation |
| Output Drive Capability | Sources 5mA / sinks 2mA - directly drives ADC reference inputs, op-amp buffers, or low-power DACs |
| Capacitor-Free Operation | No mandatory output capacitor - saves board area and BOM cost in space-critical handheld devices |
| Supply Current Efficiency | 90µA typical, supply-voltage independent - reduces wasted current vs. shunt references, especially at higher VIN |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MAX6064BEUR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MAX6064BEUR is +13.5V referenced to GND. However, the recommended operating range is (VOUT + 0.2V) to +12.6V - i.e., 4.296V to 12.6V - to ensure specified performance including line regulation, dropout, and thermal stability. Exceeding 12.6V may degrade long-term reliability even if within absolute ratings.
Does MAX6064BEUR require an output capacitor for stability?
No, MAX6064BEUR does not require an output capacitor for stability - its internal compensation ensures unconditional stability with capacitive loads from 0 to 1µF. An optional 0.1µF ceramic capacitor can be added to improve transient response during large load steps, but omission saves board area and BOM cost without compromising functionality.
What is the dropout voltage specification for MAX6064BEUR at full load?
The dropout voltage for MAX6064BEUR is specified as ≤200mV at 1mA load current. At its full sourcing capability of 5mA, measured dropout remains ≤200mV under typical conditions, enabling reliable operation down to 4.296V input - critical for single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) systems with boost pre-regulation or dual-cell alkaline supplies.
How does the temperature coefficient of MAX6064BEUR impact 12-bit ADC accuracy?
With a max temperature coefficient of 20ppm/°C, MAX6064BEUR contributes ≤±0.82mV drift over –40°C to +85°C. Referenced to its 4.096V output, this equals ±0.02% full-scale error - equivalent to <±0.8 LSB in a 12-bit system - well within typical industrial ADC INL specifications and sufficient for uncalibrated end equipment.
Can MAX6064BEUR sink current, and what is its maximum sink capability?
Yes, MAX6064BEUR can actively sink up to 2mA of load current - a key differentiator from many series references. This enables bidirectional reference buffering, active pull-down in ratiometric sensor circuits, and compatibility with op-amps requiring sink capability in reference buffer stages, all while maintaining specified accuracy and noise performance.
