Product details
Overview
MAX6070AAUT18+T from Analog Devices is a precision 1.8V low-noise, low-drift series voltage reference in a 6-pin SOT23 package. It delivers ±0.04% initial accuracy, 6ppm/°C max temperature drift (A grade), and 4.8µVP-P 1/f noise (0.1Hz–10Hz) at 1.8V output, enabling high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in industrial process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6070AAUT18+T datasheet, MAX6070AAUT18+T pinout, MAX6070AAUT18+T application, or MAX6070AAUT18+T equivalent, this device supports critical design requirements including low dropout (150mV @ 10mA), 85dB ripple rejection, and filter-enabled wideband noise suppression - essential for precision instrumentation and automotive sensor signal chains.
Technical Context
The MAX6070AAUT18+T implements a bandgap-based series voltage reference architecture with dual-output force-sense topology (OUTF/GNDF and OUTS/GNDS) to reject PCB trace resistance errors. Its integrated FILTER pin accepts an external 0.1µF capacitor to suppress high-frequency noise without compromising settling time.
It operates over –40°C to +125°C with 150µA quiescent current, supports ±10mA load sourcing/sinking, and maintains stability with capacitive loads from 0.1µF to 10µF - making it suitable for dynamically loaded precision analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.800V ±0.04% at +25°C - ensures accurate scaling for 1.8V logic-compatible ADCs and DACs |
| Temp Drift (max) | 6ppm/°C (A grade) - limits full-range error to ≤0.72mV over –40°C to +125°C |
| 1/f Noise | 4.8µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - preserves resolution in sub-10Hz measurement applications |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV @ 10mA - allows operation from 1.95V supply in low-voltage systems |
| Ripple Rejection | 86dB @ 60Hz - suppresses power-supply coupling into sensitive analog circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3418RTER | Lower 3.8µVP-P noise but higher 200µA IQ; no force-sense outputs | Lacks trace-resistance compensation - requires careful layout for <0.01% accuracy | Select when ultra-low noise dominates over layout flexibility and power budget permits +50µA |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX6070AAUT18+T?
The MAX6070AAUT18+T supports ±10mA of load current - meaning it can source up to +10mA to a load or sink up to –10mA from a load while maintaining regulation within specifications. This capability allows direct driving of ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and precision current sources without external buffers. The device remains stable across this full range with proper output capacitance (0.1µF–10µF).
Does the MAX6070AAUT18+T require an external capacitor on the FILTER pin?
No, the FILTER pin on the MAX6070AAUT18+T is optional. Connecting a 0.1µF capacitor from FILTER to ground reduces high-frequency thermal noise (10Hz–10kHz) by up to 50%, but the device functions fully without it. When omitted, only 1/f noise (0.1Hz–10Hz) applies. Designers should include the capacitor only when wideband noise performance is critical - e.g., in audio-grade or RF sampling applications.
How does the force-sense topology of the MAX6070AAUT18+T improve accuracy?
The MAX6070AAUT18+T uses separate OUTF (force) and OUTS (sense) pins to eliminate voltage drop errors caused by PCB trace resistance between the IC and load. By routing the sense line directly to the load point and feeding it back to the internal error amplifier, the device actively regulates the voltage *at the load*, compensating for up to ~100mΩ of series resistance. This ensures ±0.04% accuracy is maintained regardless of board layout or current level - unlike single-output references.
Is the MAX6070AAUT18+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6070AAUT18+T is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1: –40°C to +125°C), making it suitable for automotive applications including engine control units, battery management systems, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Its 85dB ripple rejection, low dropout, and force-sense architecture ensure reliable operation amid noisy 12V rail transients and thermal cycling - validated per AEC-Q100 stress test conditions.
What is the typical turn-on settling time for the MAX6070AAUT18+T?
The MAX6070AAUT18+T achieves 0.01% output settling in 6.2ms when the FILTER pin is bypassed with 0.1µF, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for VOUT = 1.800V. This settling behavior is consistent across the –40°C to +125°C operating range and enables fast power-up sequencing in systems with strict wake-up timing requirements, such as battery-powered data loggers and modular sensor nodes.
