Product details
Overview
MAX6066BEUR-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, low-dropout, micropower 2.5V voltage reference in a 3-pin SOT23 package. It delivers ±0.4% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and supports 5mA source / 2mA sink load current. Designed for high-accuracy ADC biasing and portable battery-powered systems requiring stable low-voltage references.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6066BEUR-T datasheet, MAX6066BEUR-T pinout, MAX6066BEUR-T application, or MAX6066BEUR-T equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤200mV at 1mA), ultra-low 90µA typical supply current, absence of required output capacitor, and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6066BEUR-T is a three-terminal series-mode voltage reference featuring proprietary curvature-correction circuitry and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors. Its architecture eliminates dependence on external compensation capacitors and achieves supply current variation of only 3.3–8.0 µA/V across 2.7V to 12.6V input range.
It operates with a minimum input voltage of VOUT + 0.2V (i.e., ≥2.7V), maintains stability with capacitive loads, and exhibits 130ppm output voltage hysteresis after thermal cycling. Noise performance is specified as 27µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz) and 30µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.4% (2.490V to 2.510V at +25°C) - enables precise 2.5V system rail or ADC reference without calibration. |
| Temp. Coefficient | ≤20ppm/°C (max) - ensures ≤±0.5mV drift over –40°C to +85°C ambient, critical for measurement integrity. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤200mV at 1mA load - allows operation from 2.7V supply, ideal for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V rail-derived systems. |
| Supply Current | 90µA (typ), ≤125µA (max) - minimizes quiescent power draw; variation ≤8µA/V enables predictable battery life modeling. |
| Load Current | Sources up to 5mA / sinks up to 2mA - directly drives SAR ADC reference inputs or op-amp bias networks without buffering. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 27µVp-p - low enough to avoid degrading ENOB in 16-bit+ ADCs when used as reference source. |
| Line Regulation | ≤300µV/V - limits output change to <0.12mV per volt of input variation, supporting unregulated supply inputs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6066BEUR-T is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.0mm height, surface-mount compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Voltage Supply | Accepts 2.7V to 12.6V; internal regulation rejects ripple; no external resistor needed unlike shunt references. |
| 2 (OUT) | Precision Reference Output | Delivers stable 2.5V; capable of sourcing/sinking load current; stable with 0–1µF capacitive loads. |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Low-impedance return path; must be connected directly to system ground plane to maintain accuracy and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Internally compensated design eliminates need for external stabilization capacitor, saving PCB area and BOM cost. |
| Stable with capacitive loads | Operates reliably with 0–1µF output capacitance, simplifying interface to ADCs or filters without stability analysis. |
| Ultra-low supply current | 90µA typical draw enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors with periodic wake-up. |
| Low dropout | 200mV max dropout at 1mA allows use with 2.7V supplies-critical for energy-harvesting and low-voltage microcontroller systems. |
| High output current drive | 5mA sourcing capability directly powers reference inputs of multiple precision ADCs or instrumentation amplifiers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3425BRJZ-R7 | 2.5V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C TC, 4.5µA supply current, SC70-5 package (5-pin) | Lower noise (10µVp-p) and tighter TC, but requires external decoupling and has higher pin count | Select for ultra-high-precision metrology where 0.1% accuracy and sub-5ppm TC outweigh size and simplicity trade-offs. |
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C TC, 50µA supply current, SOT23-3 package | Higher TC and looser initial tolerance; lower supply current but reduced thermal stability | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications where 50ppm/°C drift is acceptable and power is more constrained than accuracy. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MAX6066BEUR-T?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MAX6066BEUR-T is +13.5V referenced to GND. However, the recommended operating range is (VOUT + 0.2V) to 12.6V - i.e., 2.7V to 12.6V - as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Exceeding 12.6V may degrade long-term reliability even if within absolute ratings.
Does MAX6066BEUR-T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, MAX6066BEUR-T does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its internally compensated architecture remains stable with 0–1µF capacitive loads. An optional 0.1µF ceramic capacitor may be added to improve transient response under step-load conditions, but it is not necessary for basic operation.
What is the dropout voltage specification for MAX6066BEUR-T at full load?
The dropout voltage for MAX6066BEUR-T is specified as ≤200mV at 1mA load current. At 5mA source load, typical dropout increases to ~300mV (per Figure MAX6066 toc07). To guarantee 2.5V output, the input must therefore be ≥2.8V at 5mA - confirming suitability for 3.3V rail or boosted 2.7V sources.
How does the supply current of MAX6066BEUR-T vary with input voltage?
MAX6066BEUR-T exhibits a supply current variation of 3.3–8.0 µA/V across its input range (2.7V to 12.6V), meaning total IIN changes by ≤80µA over the full range. At 2.7V input, typical IIN is ~90µA; at 12.6V, it rises to ~125µA max - enabling accurate power budgeting in wide-input systems.
Is MAX6066BEUR-T suitable for driving the reference input of a 16-bit SAR ADC?
Yes, MAX6066BEUR-T is well-suited for driving 16-bit SAR ADC reference inputs. With 27µVp-p (0.1–10Hz) noise, ±0.4% initial accuracy, and 5mA sourcing capability, it meets or exceeds requirements for 16-bit (≈9.7µV LSB at 2.5V) systems - especially when paired with proper PCB layout and grounding.
