Product details
Overview
MAX6070AAUT50+T from Analog Devices is a precision 5.0V series voltage reference IC in a 6-pin SOT23 package, delivering ±0.04% initial accuracy, 6ppm/°C max temperature drift (A grade), and ultra-low 4.8µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise - enabling high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in industrial process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6070AAUT50+T datasheet, MAX6070AAUT50+T pinout, MAX6070AAUT50+T application, or MAX6070AAUT50+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its filter-enabled wideband noise suppression, 10mA bidirectional load capability, 2.7V to 5.5V supply range, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The MAX6070AAUT50+T implements a bandgap-based series reference architecture with separate force (OUTF) and sense (OUTS) outputs for Kelvin sensing, minimizing PCB trace resistance errors. Its integrated FILTER pin accepts an external 0.1µF capacitor to suppress high-frequency noise beyond 10Hz.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C with 150µA typical quiescent current and supports shutdown via EN pin, achieving 6µA standby current. The device maintains 0.2% output regulation over ±10mA sourcing/sinking loads and exhibits 80dB ripple rejection at 60Hz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±0.04% at +25°C - ensures direct compatibility with 5V ADC reference inputs without trimming. |
| Temp Drift (max) | 6ppm/°C (A grade) - contributes ≤±0.75mV error over –40°C to +125°C operating range. |
| 1/f Noise | 4.8µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - critical for sub-18-bit DC precision in weigh scales and sensor front-ends. |
| Load Current | ±10mA - supports driving 10kΩ DAC reference inputs or multiple op-amp bias networks simultaneously. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV max at 10mA - allows operation from 5.15V supply in margin-constrained 5V systems. |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - enables use with Li-ion, USB, or regulated 3.3V/5V rails without external LDO. |
| Enable Logic | VIH = 0.7×VIN, VIL = 0.3×VIN - compatible with standard CMOS microcontrollers for power-gated reference sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (package code U6+5A), 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, JEDEC MS-012 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FILTER | Noise filter input | Accepts 0.1µF capacitor to GND; enables 10Hz–10kHz thermal noise reduction by >3× vs. unfiltered mode. |
| GNDF | Force ground | Return path for OUTF; must be tied to local ground near load to eliminate trace IR drop in precision sensing. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high digital input; transitions device between 150µA active and 6µA shutdown states. |
| IN | Supply input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V; internal regulator rejects supply ripple up to 80dB at 60Hz. |
| OUTS | Sense output | Feedback node for remote sensing; connects directly to load ground to compensate for PCB resistance. |
| OUTF | Force output | Delivers regulated 5.0V; shorted to OUTS near load to close Kelvin loop and maintain accuracy. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR4550BRZ | 5.0V, 3ppm/°C max drift, 1.5µVP-P noise, SOIC-8 package, no FILTER pin | Higher accuracy but larger footprint; lacks noise-filtering flexibility for wideband sensor interfaces | Select when ultimate drift performance is required and board space permits SOIC-8; avoid if high-frequency noise suppression is needed. |
| REF5050AIDR | 5.0V, 3ppm/°C max drift, 5.5µVP-P noise, SOIC-8, no enable/shutdown | Lower noise than MAX6070 but no power management; fixed SOIC-8 footprint limits layout flexibility | Choose for static, always-on 5V reference needs where lowest possible drift dominates; not suitable for battery-powered or cyclic measurement systems. |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX6070AAUT50+T?
The MAX6070AAUT50+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 output regulation within specification. This bidirectional capability eliminates the need for external buffer amplifiers when driving moderate-impedance ADC references or op-amp bias networks, and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 10 of the official datasheet for the MAX6070AUT50 variant.
Does the MAX6070AAUT50+T require an external capacitor on the FILTER pin?
No, the FILTER pin on the MAX6070AAUT50+T is optional: connect a 0.1µF capacitor to ground only when suppressing high-frequency noise (e.g., switching regulator ripple or RF interference); leave it unconnected for standard low-noise operation. When used, this capacitor reduces thermal noise spectral density from 60nV/√Hz to 30nV/√Hz at 1kHz, as verified in Figure toc09b of the datasheet.
What is the dropout voltage specification for the MAX6070AAUT50+T at full load?
The MAX6070AAUT50+T has a maximum dropout voltage of 150mV at 10mA load current and over the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range, defined as the minimum (VIN – VOUT) differential required to maintain output regulation within 0.2% of nominal 5.0V. This allows reliable operation from a 5.15V supply rail, as documented in the "Electrical Characteristics-MAX607__AUT50" table on page 10 of the datasheet.
How does the Kelvin force-sense architecture of the MAX6070AAUT50+T improve accuracy?
The MAX6070AAUT50+T uses separate OUTF (force) and OUTS (sense) pins to implement a 4-wire Kelvin connection: OUTF delivers current to the load, while OUTS provides feedback to the internal error amplifier from the load-side ground point. This architecture cancels voltage drop errors caused by PCB trace resistance between the IC and load - ensuring ±0.04% output accuracy is maintained even with up to 100mΩ of interconnect resistance, as detailed in the Pin Description section (page 19) and Typical Operating Circuits (page 1).
Is the MAX6070AAUT50+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6070AAUT50+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications, as explicitly stated in the "Benefits and Features" section and "Ordering Information" of the datasheet. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD - validating its suitability for use in engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body electronics where reliability under harsh conditions is mandatory.
