Product details
Overview
MAX6064BEUR-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, low-dropout, micropower 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 as little as 4.296V input (VOUT + 200mV), making it ideal for high-resolution ADC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6064BEUR-T datasheet, MAX6064BEUR-T pinout, MAX6064BEUR-T application, or MAX6064BEUR-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 4.096V output tolerance, ultra-low supply current independence from input voltage (≤8µA/V variation), absence of required output capacitor, and SOT23-3 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6064BEUR-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 stability capacitors, and its supply current remains stable across 4.296V–12.6V input range.
It features 50µV/V line regulation (typ), 0.5–0.9mV/mA load regulation (sourcing), and 72dB power-supply rejection at 120Hz - enabling reliable operation in noisy battery-powered systems where reference stability directly impacts ADC effective resolution.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.4% (max) at +25°C - ensures direct compatibility with 12-bit ADC full-scale ranges requiring exact VREF = VDD/2 or 4.096V scaling. |
| Temp Coefficient | 20ppm/°C (max) - limits output drift to ≤±1.7mV over –40°C to +85°C, critical for precision sensor signal chains. |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA (typ), ≤125µA (max) - enables >1-year battery life in always-on portable DMMs drawing <10µA average system current. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV (max) at 1mA load - allows operation from single Li-ion cell (3.0–4.2V) when paired with LDO or direct from 4.3V supply rail. |
| Load Drive | Sources 5mA / sinks 2mA - supports driving SAR ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small DAC loads without external buffers. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 50µVp-p - contributes <0.012 LSB noise to 12-bit 4.096V ADCs, preserving ENOB in low-frequency measurement applications. |
| PSRR | 72dB at 120Hz - suppresses ripple from switching regulators or AC/DC adapters feeding the reference input. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6064BEUR-T is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and 1.45mm height - compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Voltage Supply | Accepts 4.296V–12.6V DC; requires no series resistor; decoupling with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor improves line-transient response. |
| 2 (OUT) | Precision Reference Output | Delivers regulated 4.096V; stable with capacitive loads ≥0.1µF; no external compensation capacitor needed for stability. |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Must be connected to clean analog ground plane; separate from digital ground if mixed-signal layout used to avoid noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.4% (max) - eliminates need for post-production calibration in factory-set portable test equipment. |
| Temperature Stability | 20ppm/°C (max) - maintains <±0.01% output error across industrial temperature range, supporting uncalibrated field deployments. |
| No External Capacitor Required | Fully internally compensated - saves ≥1.5mm² PCB area per unit and removes capacitor aging/reliability variables in long-life medical devices. |
| Supply-Current Independence | ≤8µA/V variation over 4.296–12.6V input - ensures predictable battery drain regardless of battery voltage sag during discharge. |
| Low Dropout | 200mV (max) at 1mA - enables direct connection to 4.3V buck converter output without additional LDO, reducing BOM count and power loss. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of the MAX6064BEUR-T?
The MAX6064BEUR-T has a guaranteed initial accuracy of ±0.4% (max) at +25°C, corresponding to the 'B' grade in Maxim's ordering nomenclature. This specification applies across the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and is verified during 100% production testing. The MAX6064BEUR-T output voltage is specified as 4.080V to 4.112V at room temperature.
Does the MAX6064BEUR-T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6064BEUR-T does not require an external output capacitor for stability due to its fully internal compensation. It remains stable with capacitive loads ranging from 0 to ≥1µF. An optional 0.1µF ceramic capacitor may be added to improve transient response under large load steps, but it is never mandatory - a key advantage for ultra-compact PCB layouts.
What is the minimum input voltage required for proper operation of the MAX6064BEUR-T?
The MAX6064BEUR-T requires a minimum input voltage of VOUT + 200mV = 4.296V to maintain regulation at 1mA load. Its absolute maximum input is +12.6V. The device operates across this full range with only 8µA/V variation in supply current, ensuring consistent battery drain regardless of input voltage level.
Can the MAX6064BEUR-T sink current, and how much?
Yes, the MAX6064BEUR-T can sink up to 2mA of load current while maintaining output regulation and specified accuracy. This capability supports applications such as active pull-down of ADC reference inputs during power-down sequencing or biasing of current-sinking sensor interfaces - all without requiring external transistors or additional supply rails.
How does the MAX6064BEUR-T compare to shunt voltage references in terms of supply efficiency?
Unlike shunt references that waste current through a series resistor, the MAX6064BEUR-T draws only ~90µA quiescent current independent of load - even when sinking or sourcing up to 5mA. This architecture avoids fixed bias current overhead, maximizing battery life in intermittent-use devices like handheld meters and wireless sensors where load current is dynamic and often near-zero.
