Product details
Overview
MAX6071AAUT18+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. Designed for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing and industrial sensor signal chains, it operates from –40°C to +125°C with 150µA quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6071AAUT18+T datasheet, MAX6071AAUT18+T pinout, MAX6071AAUT18+T application, or MAX6071AAUT18+T equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in precision instrumentation, and confirmed alternative options for design flexibility and supply continuity.
Technical Context
The MAX6071AAUT18+T is a bandgap-based series voltage reference optimized for ultra-low noise and tight thermal stability. Its dual-output architecture separates force (OUTF) and sense (OUTS) paths to eliminate IR drop errors in high-accuracy systems, while GNDF and GNDS pins enable Kelvin sensing for load regulation integrity.
Unlike the MAX6070, the MAX6071 omits the FILTER pin and internal noise-filtering path-making it suitable for applications where external filtering is managed separately and board space is constrained. It supports bidirectional 10mA load current and maintains 84dB ripple rejection at 60Hz without requiring external capacitors on the FILTER node.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.800V ±0.04% at +25°C - matches common LDO and ADC reference rails with minimal calibration overhead |
| Temp Drift (max) | 6ppm/°C (A grade) - ensures ≤108ppm total drift over –40°C to +125°C, critical for uncalibrated field instruments |
| 1/f Noise | 4.8µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - enables 20-bit+ effective resolution in slow-sampling precision data acquisition |
| Supply Current | 150µA typical - allows operation from micro-power supplies without compromising reference stability |
| Load Current | ±10mA - supports direct driving of SAR ADC references and op-amp bias networks without buffering |
| Dropout Voltage | 110mV (max, 10mA load) - permits use with 2.0V input rails, ideal for single-cell Li-ion or low-VIN industrial systems |
| Ripple Rejection | 84dB at 60Hz - suppresses power-supply hum in battery-powered portable test equipment |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (U6+5/U6+5A), 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, JEDEC MO-178 compliant, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - GNDF | Ground Force | Low-impedance return path for internal bandgap core; must be connected to clean system ground near IC |
| 2 - GNDS | Ground Sense | Kelvin-sense return for load-side ground; connects to ground at load to cancel trace resistance error |
| 3 - EN | Enable Input | CMOS-compatible control: VIH ≥ 0.7×VIN enables output; VIL ≤ 0.3×VIN disables (ISD = 6µA) |
| 4 - IN | Supply Input | Input rail (2.7V–5.5V); requires local 0.1µF bypass to GNDF for PSRR optimization |
| 5 - OUTS | Reference Sense Output | High-impedance feedback node; connects directly to load ground reference point for closed-loop accuracy |
| 6 - OUTF | Reference Force Output | Low-impedance output driver; shorted to OUTS near load to maintain 4-wire reference integrity |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX6071AAUT18+T?
The MAX6071AAUT18+T supports ±10mA of load current - meaning it can both source up to +10mA and sink up to –10mA while maintaining specified accuracy and stability. This capability allows direct driving of ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, or current-source circuits without external buffers, reducing bill-of-materials cost and board area in compact designs.
Does the MAX6071AAUT18+T require an external filter capacitor like the MAX6070?
No, the MAX6071AAUT18+T does not include a FILTER pin and is not designed for internal high-frequency noise filtering. Unlike the MAX6070, it relies on external 0.1µF–10µF bypass capacitors on the OUTF pin to achieve optimal noise performance and stability. This simplifies layout for applications where filtering is handled at the system level or where board space is constrained.
Is the MAX6071AAUT18+T AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, the MAX6071AAUT18+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. It meets Grade 1 temperature requirements (–40°C to +125°C) and has passed stress testing per AEC-Q100 Rev H, making it suitable for engine control, transmission, and chassis subsystems where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory.
How does the dual-output (OUTF/OUTS) architecture improve accuracy in the MAX6071AAUT18+T?
The MAX6071AAUT18+T uses separate OUTF (force) and OUTS (sense) outputs to implement a 4-wire Kelvin reference configuration. By routing OUTF to the load and connecting OUTS directly to the load's ground reference point, voltage drops across PCB traces or connectors are excluded from the feedback loop - preserving ±0.04% initial accuracy even with milliohm-level trace resistances in high-current industrial layouts.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the MAX6071AAUT18+T to regulate at 1.8V?
The MAX6071AAUT18+T requires a minimum input-to-output differential of 110mV (typical) to maintain regulation at full 10mA load, per its dropout specification. Therefore, with a 1.8V output, the minimum valid input voltage is 1.91V - though the datasheet specifies guaranteed operation starting at VIN = 2.7V across temperature and process corners to ensure margin for line regulation and stability.
