Product details
Overview
MAX6070AAUT21+T from Analog Devices is a precision 2.048V series voltage reference IC in a 6-pin SOT23 package, featuring ±0.04% initial accuracy, 6ppm/°C max temperature drift (A grade), 4.8µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) low-frequency noise, and 150µA quiescent current. It supports ±10mA load sourcing/sinking and is optimized for high-resolution ADCs and industrial process control systems requiring stable, low-noise reference voltage.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6070AAUT21+T datasheet, MAX6070AAUT21+T pinout, MAX6070AAUT21+T application, or MAX6070AAUT21+T equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage tolerance at temperature extremes, 1/f noise performance in precision sensor signal chains, dropout voltage under 10mA load, filter-capable architecture for wideband noise suppression, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The MAX6070AAUT21+T implements a bandgap-based series voltage reference with dual-output force-sense architecture (OUTF/OUTS) to reject PCB trace resistance effects and maintain regulation accuracy at the load. Its integrated FILTER pin enables external 0.1µF capacitor connection to suppress high-frequency noise-critical for 16-bit+ data converters.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C with guaranteed 2.048V output, 110–230mV dropout at 10mA, and 84dB ripple rejection at 60Hz. The device enters shutdown mode drawing ≤6µA when EN is low, enabling power-sensitive portable instrumentation designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048V - matches common 12-bit DAC/ADC full-scale codes and simplifies ratio-metric system design. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.04% at +25°C - ensures <±0.82mV absolute error without calibration in factory-set systems. |
| Temp Drift (max) | 6ppm/°C - contributes ≤±0.25mV error over –40°C to +125°C ambient range. |
| 1/f Noise | 4.8µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - enables sub-LSB stability in precision weigh scales and strain gauge bridges. |
| Quiescent Current | 150µA typical - allows battery operation >1 year in 10µA-sleep-cycle IoT sensor nodes. |
| Load Current | ±10mA - drives 10kΩ minimum load directly, eliminating need for external buffer in most DAQ front-ends. |
| Dropout Voltage | 110–230mV at 10mA - supports operation from 2.8V supply rails, compatible with Li-ion and 3.3V LDO outputs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (package code U6+5A, outline 21-0058), footprint-compatible with JEDEC MS-012AC, thermal resistance θJA = 230°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FILTER (Pin 1) | Noise filter input | Accepts 0.1µF capacitor to GND to attenuate >10kHz switching noise-required for optimal wideband PSRR. |
| GNDF (Pin 2) | Force ground | Provides dedicated ground return path for internal reference core; must be connected to clean analog ground plane. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input (VIH ≥0.7×VIN); enables fast 10ms turn-on settling with 0.01% accuracy. |
| IN (Pin 4) | Supply input | Accepts 2.8V–5.5V input; internal regulation maintains stable 2.048V output despite rail variation. |
| OUTS (Pin 5) | Sense output | Feedback node for remote sensing-connect directly to load ground to compensate for trace IR drop. |
| OUTF (Pin 6) | Force output | Main reference output; bypass with 0.1–10µF capacitor to GNDF for stability and noise filtering. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5020IDR | 2.048V, 3ppm/°C max drift, 3.8µVP-P noise, but 950µA IQ; no FILTER pin or force-sense outputs. | Higher accuracy at cost of 6× higher supply current; unsuitable for battery-powered or space-constrained layouts. | Select REF5020IDR only when drift budget is <3ppm/°C and board area permits larger SOIC-8 package. |
| ADR4520BRZ | 2.048V, 3ppm/°C max drift, 5.5µVP-P noise, 950µA IQ, includes trim pin; no enable or filter functionality. | Lacks shutdown mode and noise-filtering capability-requires external circuitry for power gating or HF noise suppression. | Choose ADR4520BRZ for metrology-grade lab equipment where ultimate drift performance outweighs power and integration trade-offs. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX6070AAUT21+T over temperature?
The MAX6070AAUT21+T guarantees ±0.04% initial accuracy at +25°C and a maximum temperature coefficient of 6ppm/°C (A grade) over –40°C to +125°C. This results in a total output voltage deviation of ≤±0.25mV across its full operating range, calculated as 2.048V × 6ppm/°C × 165°C span.
Does the MAX6070AAUT21+T require an external capacitor on the FILTER pin?
Yes-the FILTER pin of the MAX6070AAUT21+T must be connected to ground through a 0.1µF capacitor to achieve specified 30nV/√Hz noise spectral density and optimal high-frequency PSRR. Leaving FILTER unconnected degrades wideband noise performance and reduces ripple rejection above 10kHz.
Can the MAX6070AAUT21+T drive a 10kΩ load directly?
Yes-the MAX6070AAUT21+T can source or sink up to ±10mA while maintaining regulation, supporting direct drive of loads down to 204.8Ω (2.048V/10mA). A 10kΩ load draws only 205µA, well within specification, and benefits from the device's 75–125µV/mA load regulation performance.
How does the force-sense (OUTS/OUTF) architecture improve accuracy in the MAX6070AAUT21+T?
The MAX6070AAUT21+T uses separate OUTS (sense) and OUTF (force) pins to close the feedback loop at the load rather than at the IC package. This compensates for voltage drop across PCB traces-e.g., 50mΩ resistance causes only 10mV error at 200mA, which the force-sense topology actively corrects to preserve <0.005% output accuracy at the destination node.
Is the MAX6070AAUT21+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes-the MAX6070AAUT21+T is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1: –40°C to +125°C) and specified for automotive use. Its 6ppm/°C drift, 4.8µVP-P noise, and robust ESD tolerance (±2kV HBM) meet stringent requirements for engine control units, battery management systems, and radar sensor signal chains.
