Product details
Overview
The MAX6065AEUR-T 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 with as little as 5.2V input (VOUT + 0.2V), making it ideal for high-accuracy 5V analog signal chains in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6065AEUR-T datasheet, MAX6065AEUR-T pinout, MAX6065AEUR-T application, or MAX6065AEUR-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 5.000V output tolerance, ultra-low 90µA quiescent current, dropout voltage ≤200mV at 1mA, absence of required output capacitor, and SOT23-3 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This three-terminal series voltage reference uses 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 capacitors, and supply current varies by only 3.2–8.0 µA/V across 5.2V–12.6V input range.
Designed for operation from VIN = VOUT + 0.2V (min), it maintains regulation under sourcing (0–5mA) and sinking (–2mA to 0) loads while exhibiting 65dB PSRR at 120Hz and 130ppm output voltage hysteresis after thermal cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±0.2% (max) at +25°C - ensures ADC full-scale reference stability within 10mV absolute error |
| Temp Coefficient | 20ppm/°C (max) - contributes ≤1mV drift over –40°C to +85°C ambient range |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤200mV at 1mA load - enables operation from 5.2V supply in 5V systems with minimal headroom |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA (typ), ≤125µA (max) - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Load Current | Sources 5mA / sinks 2mA - drives SAR ADC references, op-amp bias networks, and DAC buffers directly |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 60µVp-p - supports 16-bit+ precision measurement without added filtering |
| PSRR | 65dB at 120Hz - rejects ripple from switching regulators feeding the reference input |
Pinout & Package
MAX6065AEUR-T is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with pin 1 = IN, pin 2 = OUT, pin 3 = GND. The package measures 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm and is RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 5.2V to 12.6V; requires no series resistor; bypassing with 0.1µF ceramic improves line transient response |
| 2 (OUT) | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated 5.000V; stable with capacitive loads ≥0.1µF; no external compensation capacitor needed |
| 3 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Must be connected to clean system ground plane; separates reference return from high-current paths to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±0.2% initial accuracy | Reduces calibration burden in factory-trimmed 5V data acquisition systems |
| No output capacitor required | Eliminates 1–2 passive components and associated board area in compact handheld devices |
| Stable with capacitive loads | Enables direct connection to ADC input caps or op-amp feedback networks without oscillation risk |
| 90µA typical supply current | Supports >1-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors drawing <1µA average system current |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the MAX6065AEUR-T?
The MAX6065AEUR-T requires a minimum input voltage of VOUT + 0.2V = 5.2V to maintain regulation at 1mA load, per the datasheet's dropout specification. At lighter loads, it may operate slightly below this threshold, but 5.2V is the guaranteed minimum across –40°C to +85°C. The MAX6065AEUR-T is not functional below 5.2V under full-load conditions.
Does the MAX6065AEUR-T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6065AEUR-T is internally compensated and does not require an external output capacitor for stability. It remains stable with capacitive loads up to at least 1µF. An optional 0.1µF ceramic capacitor may be added to improve transient response in high-dynamic-load applications, but it is not necessary for basic regulation.
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of the MAX6065AEUR-T at +25°C?
The MAX6065AEUR-T is specified with ±0.2% (max) initial output voltage accuracy at +25°C, corresponding to a 5.000V output tolerance of 4.990V to 5.010V. This grade ('A' suffix) is tighter than the 'B' grade (±0.4%), and applies across the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
How does the supply current of the MAX6065AEUR-T vary with input voltage?
The MAX6065AEUR-T exhibits a supply current variation of only 3.2–8.0 µA/V across its 5.2V–12.6V input range, meaning total change is ≤60µA over full VIN span. This near-constant current behavior - unlike shunt references - maximizes efficiency and simplifies power budgeting in battery-powered systems using the MAX6065AEUR-T.
Can the MAX6065AEUR-T sink current, and if so, how much?
Yes, the MAX6065AEUR-T can sink up to 2mA of load current while maintaining regulation. This capability allows it to serve as a bidirectional reference in circuits requiring active pull-down (e.g., certain DAC buffer configurations or programmable gain amplifier references), distinguishing it from many fixed-output shunt references that only source current.
