Product details
Overview
MAX6065AEUR from Maxim Integrated is a precision, micropower, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering a stable 5.000V output with ±0.2% (max) 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 5.2V input (VOUT + 0.2V), making it ideal for high-accuracy 5V analog front-ends in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6065AEUR datasheet, MAX6065AEUR pinout, MAX6065AEUR application, or MAX6065AEUR equivalent, this device offers verified performance in battery-powered precision ADC biasing, low-voltage 5V system regulation, and space-constrained industrial sensor signal conditioning-where ultra-low quiescent current, no external capacitor requirement, and tight thermal drift are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The MAX6065AEUR is a three-terminal, series-mode voltage reference using proprietary curvature-correction circuitry and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve 20ppm/°C max TCVOUT and ±0.2% max initial error. Its internal compensation eliminates need for external output capacitance, and its supply current varies by only ≤8µA/V across 5.2V–12.6V input range.
It delivers 5.000V output with 50mV (typ) dropout at 1mA load, supports capacitive loads without instability, and exhibits 60µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise and 65dB PSRR at 120Hz-enabling direct use in high-resolution SAR and delta-sigma ADC reference paths without additional filtering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±0.2% (max) at +25°C - ensures direct compatibility with 5V ADC full-scale ranges and eliminates calibration offset due to reference error. |
| Temp. Coefficient | 20ppm/°C (max) - limits output drift to ±1.5mV over –40°C to +85°C, critical for uncalibrated field-deployed sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA (typ), ≤125µA (max) - enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell-powered data loggers drawing <10µA average system current. |
| Dropout Voltage | 50mV (max) at 1mA load - allows operation from single Li-ion cell (≥3.3V) or regulated 5.2V rail with minimal headroom loss. |
| Load Drive | Sources 5mA / sinks 2mA - directly drives ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small DACs without buffer amplifiers. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 60µVp-p - contributes <0.0012% of full-scale error in 16-bit 5V ADCs, avoiding resolution degradation. |
| PSRR @ 120Hz | 65dB - suppresses ripple from switching regulators feeding the reference, reducing AC-coupled measurement artifacts. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6065AEUR is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and 1.0mm height-optimized for high-density PCB layouts in handheld test equipment and IoT edge nodes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply Terminal | Accepts 5.2V to 12.6V DC input; requires no series resistor; internal regulation maintains constant current draw independent of VIN. |
| 2 (OUT) | Precision Reference Output | Delivers stable 5.000V; electrically isolated from IN/GND; capable of sourcing/sinking load current without external components. |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Must be connected to clean system AGND plane; separates reference core from digital noise; no separate VREF return path required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Internally compensated architecture eliminates mandatory 1µF output cap-reducing BOM count and saving ≥1.5mm² board area per unit. |
| Stable with capacitive loads | Remains stable driving 0–1µF loads-enables direct connection to ADC reference pins with decoupling caps without oscillation risk. |
| Supply-current independence | ΔIIN/ΔVIN ≤ 8µA/V - avoids dynamic power supply interaction in multi-rail systems where VIN may vary during operation. |
| Low dropout at full load | 200mV (max) dropout at 1mA - permits use with LDOs having tight tolerance on 5.2V output, improving overall power chain efficiency. |
| Long-term stability | 62ppm/1000hr - ensures <0.03% output shift over 1 year, supporting maintenance-free deployment in remote monitoring hardware. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3450ARJZ-R7 | 5.0V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C TCVOUT, 4.5µA quiescent current, but only 10mA max source current and requires 1µF output cap for stability. | Better accuracy and lower drift, but higher drive capability comes with mandatory output capacitance-increasing board area and complicating layout near noise-sensitive nodes. | Select ADR3450ARJZ-R7 when ultimate initial accuracy and thermal stability outweigh board space constraints and design simplicity. |
| REF5050AIDR | 5.0V output, ±0.05% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C TCVOUT, 950µA quiescent current, SOIC-8 package, requires 1µF output cap and 10µF input bypass. | Ultra-high precision for lab-grade instruments, but 10× higher supply current and larger SOIC-8 footprint make it unsuitable for portable or space-limited designs. | Select REF5050AIDR only for benchtop equipment where power and size are secondary to metrology-grade reference performance. |
Compared with ADR3450ARJZ-R7 and REF5050AIDR, MAX6065AEUR provides optimal balance of precision (±0.2%), ultra-low quiescent current (90µA), and zero-output-capacitor operation in the smallest possible SOT23-3 package-making it the preferred choice for production-volume portable and industrial 5V reference applications where reliability, size, and battery life are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of MAX6065AEUR?
The MAX6065AEUR requires a minimum input voltage of 5.2V (VOUT + 0.2V) to maintain regulation and specified performance across temperature and load. At 1mA load, dropout is typically 50mV, so operation is guaranteed down to 5.2V input. Below this, output voltage collapses nonlinearly and specifications no longer apply.
Does MAX6065AEUR require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, MAX6065AEUR does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its internally compensated architecture remains stable with 0–1µF capacitive loads, eliminating a common BOM item and saving PCB area. An optional 0.1µF ceramic capacitor may be added to improve transient response if step-load changes exceed 2mA.
What is the maximum load current MAX6065AEUR can source or sink?
MAX6065AEUR can continuously source up to 5mA and sink up to 2mA while maintaining output voltage within specification. Exceeding these limits causes increased dropout voltage and potential deviation from ±0.2% accuracy. For loads >2mA sinking, verify thermal derating in the target ambient environment.
How does MAX6065AEUR's supply current vary with input voltage?
MAX6065AEUR's quiescent supply current varies by ≤8µA/V across its 5.2V–12.6V input range, resulting in a total variation of ≤60µA. This near-constant current draw-unlike shunt references-simplifies power budgeting and avoids interaction with upstream regulators or battery discharge curves.
Is MAX6065AEUR compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, MAX6065AEUR in the SOT23-3 package is rated for standard lead-free reflow profiles (JEDEC J-STD-020), including peak temperatures up to +260°C for 30 seconds. The device meets RoHS compliance and has been qualified for MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity-no bake-out required prior to assembly.
