Product details
Overview
MAX6066AEUR-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, low-dropout, micropower series voltage reference delivering a stable 2.500V output with ±0.2% 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 200mV dropout at 1mA load - ideal for high-accuracy ADC biasing in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6066AEUR-T datasheet, MAX6066AEUR-T pinout, MAX6066AEUR-T application, or MAX6066AEUR-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOT23-3 package footprint, absence of required output capacitor, supply-current independence from input voltage (≤8µA/V variation), and compatibility with capacitive loads without external compensation.
Technical Context
The MAX6066AEUR-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 ultra-low thermal drift. Its internal compensation eliminates need for external stability capacitors.
It operates across an input range of (VOUT + 0.2V) to 12.6V - i.e., 2.7V to 12.6V - and maintains regulation under sourcing (0–5mA) and sinking (–2mA to 0) load conditions, with line regulation ≤300µV/V and load regulation ≤0.9mV/mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.2% (±5mV) at +25°C - enables direct interface with 2.5V ADC references and precision analog signal chains |
| Temp Coefficient | 20ppm/°C max - ensures ≤±0.5mV output shift over full –40°C to +85°C range |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV max at 1mA load - supports operation from 2.7V supply in low-voltage battery systems |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and portable instrumentation |
| Load Drive | Sources 5mA / sinks 2mA - drives ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small DACs directly |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 27µVp-p - low enough for 16-bit+ data acquisition without added filtering |
| PSRR | 86dB at 120Hz - rejects ripple from switching regulators feeding the reference input |
Pinout & Package
MAX6066AEUR-T is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 1.3mm × 0.8mm footprint and 0.95mm height - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply Terminal | Accepts 2.7V–12.6V input; requires no series resistor; supplies internal regulator and output stage |
| 2 (OUT) | Precision Reference Output | Delivers stable 2.500V; capable of sourcing/sinking load current; stable with ≥0.1µF capacitive loads |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Return path for internal bandgap core and output stage; must be connected to clean system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low tempco | 20ppm/°C max - minimizes gain/offset drift in precision measurement front-ends |
| No external capacitor needed | Fully internally compensated - saves board area and eliminates capacitor-related aging or ESR risks |
| Supply-current independence | ≤8µA/V variation over 2.7–12.6V - simplifies power budgeting across varying battery states |
| Low dropout | 200mV max at 1mA - enables use with single Li-ion cell (3.0–4.2V) or dual NiMH (2.4–3.0V) |
| High output drive | 5mA source / 2mA sink - eliminates need for external buffer in most 12–16-bit ADC applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max tempco, 125µA quiescent current, SOT23-5 package | Higher accuracy and lower tempco, but higher supply current and 5-pin package requires PCB redesign | Select when tighter initial tolerance and thermal stability outweigh layout constraints and power budget |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MAX6066AEUR-T?
The MAX6066AEUR-T supports an input voltage range from (VOUT + 0.2V) to 12.6V - i.e., 2.7V to 12.6V. Absolute maximum rating is +13.5V on the IN pin. Exceeding 12.6V may degrade long-term stability or violate specified line regulation performance, so operation within the guaranteed range is recommended for production designs using MAX6066AEUR-T.
Does MAX6066AEUR-T require an output capacitor?
No, the MAX6066AEUR-T is internally compensated and does not require an 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 - a key advantage for ultra-compact PCB layouts using MAX6066AEUR-T.
What is the load current capability of MAX6066AEUR-T?
The MAX6066AEUR-T can source up to 5mA and sink up to 2mA while maintaining output accuracy within specifications. This bidirectional drive capability allows direct interfacing with ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small DACs without external buffers - a critical feature distinguishing MAX6066AEUR-T from many micropower references limited to sourcing only.
How does the temperature coefficient of MAX6066AEUR-T affect system accuracy?
With a maximum temperature coefficient of 20ppm/°C, the MAX6066AEUR-T contributes ≤±0.5mV output change over its full –40°C to +85°C operating range. For a 2.5V reference, this translates to <0.02% full-scale error - sufficient for 14–16-bit precision systems where other components (e.g., ADC INL, resistor tolerances) dominate overall error. This performance is confirmed in MAX6066AEUR-T's production-tested electrical characteristics.
Is MAX6066AEUR-T pin-compatible with other parts in the MAX6061–MAX6068 family?
Yes, all MAX6061–MAX6068 variants, including MAX6066AEUR-T, share identical SOT23-3 pinout (IN, OUT, GND) and package dimensions. This allows drop-in replacement across output voltages (1.25V to 5.0V) without PCB changes - provided input voltage and load requirements remain compatible. The top-mark code (FZFM for MAX6066AEUR-T) enables visual identification on assembled boards.
