Product details
Overview
MAX6065AEUR+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5.0V, low-dropout, micropower series voltage reference in SOT23-3 package. It delivers ±0.2% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and supports 5mA source / 2mA sink load current. Designed for high-accuracy ADC biasing and battery-powered instrumentation requiring stable 5V reference under varying input and temperature.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6065AEUR+T datasheet, MAX6065AEUR+T pinout, MAX6065AEUR+T application, or MAX6065AEUR+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤200mV at 1mA), supply-current independence from VIN (90µA typ, 8µA/V variation), absence of required output capacitor, and guaranteed performance across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6065AEUR+T is a three-terminal, series-mode voltage reference using proprietary curvature-correction circuitry and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors. Its BiCMOS process enables ultra-low quiescent current while maintaining tight initial tolerance and low thermal drift.
It operates with input voltage as low as (VOUT + 200mV) = 5.2V up to 12.6V, requires no external compensation capacitor, and remains stable with capacitive loads - eliminating board-area overhead common in shunt references. Output hysteresis is limited to 130ppm after thermal cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±0.2% (±10mV) at +25°C - ensures direct compatibility with 5V ADC full-scale ranges without calibration. |
| Temp. Coefficient | 20ppm/°C max - contributes ≤±1.5mV error over –40°C to +85°C ambient, critical for portable metrology. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV max at 1mA load - enables operation from 5.2V supply, supporting single-cell Li-ion or regulated 5.5V rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA typical, ≤125µA max - draws <100µA regardless of input voltage (8µA/V variation), maximizing battery life. |
| Load Drive | Sources 5mA / sinks 2mA - directly drives SAR ADC reference inputs and small analog front-ends without buffering. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 60µVP-P - low enough for 16-bit+ precision data acquisition without additional filtering. |
| PSRR | 65dB at 120Hz - suppresses ripple from switching regulators feeding the reference input. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6065AEUR+T is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SOT-23 layouts and reflow-process ready.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply Terminal | Accepts 5.2V to 12.6V; internal regulation rejects line variations - no external resistor needed unlike shunt references. |
| 2 (OUT) | Precision Reference Output | Delivers stable 5.0V; electrically isolated from IN/GND by internal series pass element; stable with 0–1µF capacitive loads. |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Return path for load current and internal bias; must be connected to clean system AGND to maintain accuracy and noise performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Eliminates 0.1–1µF ceramic capacitor and associated PCB area - essential for ultra-compact wearables and sensor nodes. |
| Supply-current independence | 90µA quiescent current varies only ±8µA per volt of VIN change - avoids wasted current at higher supply voltages. |
| Low dropout (200mV) | Enables use with low-headroom supplies (e.g., 5.5V buck converter output), reducing power loss and thermal stress. |
| Stable with capacitive loads | Operates reliably with 0–1µF output capacitance - simplifies layout and supports decoupling for downstream analog circuits. |
| Extended temp range | Specified from –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial and automotive cabin applications without derating. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3450ARJZ-R7 | 5.0V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C TC, but 180µA quiescent current and requires 1µF output capacitor. | Better accuracy and TC, but higher supply current and mandatory capacitor reduce suitability for space-constrained, ultra-low-power designs. | Select when ultimate TC performance outweighs board area and current budget constraints. |
| REF5050AIDR | 5.0V output, ±0.05% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C TC, SO-8 package, 950µA quiescent current, requires 1µF output capacitor. | Higher precision and lower TC, but 10× higher supply current and larger SO-8 footprint limit use in portable or battery-critical systems. | Select for lab-grade instrumentation where accuracy dominates size/power trade-offs. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX6065AEUR+T to regulate at 5.0V?
The MAX6065AEUR+T requires a minimum input voltage of (VOUT + 200mV) = 5.2V to maintain regulation within specification. This low dropout enables operation from marginally regulated 5.5V supplies or single-cell Li-ion batteries with integrated LDOs. Below 5.2V, output voltage drops linearly with input, and accuracy is not guaranteed.
Does MAX6065AEUR+T require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6065AEUR+T is internally compensated and does not require an external output capacitor for stability - a key differentiator from most competing references. An optional 0.1µF–1µF ceramic capacitor may be added to improve transient response under step-load conditions, but it is never mandatory.
What is the guaranteed temperature coefficient for MAX6065AEUR+T over –40°C to +85°C?
The MAX6065AEUR+T has a guaranteed maximum temperature coefficient of 20ppm/°C across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, measured using the "box method." This translates to a worst-case output variation of ±1.5mV over the entire temperature span, ensuring predictable performance in uncontrolled environments.
Can MAX6065AEUR+T sink current, and how much?
Yes, the MAX6065AEUR+T can actively sink up to 2mA of load current into its OUT pin, enabling bidirectional reference usage - for example, driving the reference input of dual-supply op-amps or compensating for leakage in high-impedance sensor interfaces. This capability eliminates need for external sinking circuitry.
How does the supply current of MAX6065AEUR+T vary with input voltage?
The MAX6065AEUR+T exhibits exceptional supply-current stability: typical quiescent current is 90µA with only ±8µA/V variation across its 5.2V to 12.6V input range. This near-constant draw - unlike shunt references whose current scales with VIN - maximizes efficiency and simplifies power budgeting in wide-input-voltage systems.
