Product details
Overview
MAX6072AAUB25+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output precision series voltage reference delivering 2.5V and 1.25V outputs with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 6ppm/°C max temperature drift over –40°C to +125°C, and 4.8µVP-P (0.1–10Hz) 1/f noise. It sources/sinks ±10mA per output with independent force/sense pins and enables precision ADC common-mode biasing in high-accuracy data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6072AAUB25+ datasheet, MAX6072AAUB25+ pinout, MAX6072AAUB25+ application, or MAX6072AAUB25+ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail tracking stability, thermal hysteresis matching (2.5ppm), low quiescent current (150µA/ref), and µMAX package compatibility for space-constrained industrial sensor front-ends.
Technical Context
The MAX6072AAUB25+ integrates two independent BiCMOS bandgap references with Kelvin force/sense architecture per output, enabling cancellation of PCB trace IR drop. Each reference features separate enable control (EN1/EN2), dedicated supply inputs (IN1/IN2), and operates down to 2.75V on IN2 and 2.8V on IN1 - supporting rail-to-rail operation across its 2.8V–5.5V input range.
Its dual-output topology provides inherent VREF/2 tracking without external dividers, with measured output voltage temperature drift tracking of 0.4ppm/°C and long-term drift matching of 7ppm over 1000 hours - critical for maintaining signal chain integrity in portable medical and ATE equipment.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
The MAX6072AAUB25+ is housed in a 10-pin µMAX® package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 3 and Pin 8 are both GND and must be connected to a solid ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT1F) | VREF1 Force Output | Delivers 2.5V to load; connect directly to load and bypass with 0.1–10µF capacitor to GND |
| 2 (OUT1S) | VREF1 Sense Input | Feedback node for regulation; short to OUT1F at load point to eliminate trace resistance error |
| 3, 8 (GND) | Ground Reference | Dual GND pins require low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane for noise immunity |
| 4 (EN2) | VREF2 Enable Control | Logic-high (>0.7×VIN2) enables 1.25V output; logic-low disables with 0.6–28µA shutdown current |
| 5 (IN2) | VREF2 Supply Input | Accepts 2.75–5.5V; powers 1.25V reference independently of IN1 |
| 6 (OUT2F) | VREF2 Force Output | Delivers 1.25V to load; requires local bypass and Kelvin sense routing |
| 7 (OUT2S) | VREF2 Sense Input | Regulation feedback path; short to OUT2F at load to maintain 1.25V accuracy under load |
| 9 (EN1) | VREF1 Enable Control | Independent enable for 2.5V rail; supports power sequencing and dynamic reference activation |
| 10 (IN1) | VREF1 Supply Input | Accepts 2.8–5.5V; may be tied to IN2 for single-supply operation |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6072BAUB25+ | 0.08% initial accuracy (vs. 0.05%), 8ppm/°C max drift (vs. 6ppm/°C) | Suitable where cost sensitivity outweighs sub-0.03% accuracy requirement | Select when budget constraints permit relaxed initial tolerance and thermal drift |
| ADR4525BRZ | Single 2.5V output, no VREF/2 rail; 0.02% accuracy, 3ppm/°C drift; SOIC-8 package | Requires external divider or second reference for 1.25V generation - increases component count and mismatch risk | Choose only if dual-rail integration is unnecessary and lowest possible drift is mandatory |
Compared with MAX6072BAUB25+, the MAX6072AAUB25+ delivers tighter initial accuracy and lower drift for demanding metrology-grade applications; compared with ADR4525BRZ, it eliminates external components needed for VREF/2 generation but trades off ultimate drift performance for integrated functionality.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by each output of the MAX6072AAUB25+?
The MAX6072AAUB25+ supports ±10mA load current on both OUT1F (2.5V) and OUT2F (1.25V) outputs. This allows direct interfacing with high-input-impedance ADC reference inputs and op-amp bias networks without external buffers. Sourcing and sinking capability ensures stable regulation under dynamic load conditions typical in precision data acquisition.
How does the Kelvin force/sense architecture improve accuracy in the MAX6072AAUB25+?
The MAX6072AAUB25+ uses separate force (OUTxF) and sense (OUTxS) pins for each output to eliminate voltage drop errors caused by PCB trace resistance. By routing OUTxS directly to the load point and feeding it back to the internal regulator, the device maintains ±0.05% accuracy at the load - not just at the die. This is critical for maintaining precision in systems with long interconnects or high-current paths.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for the MAX6072AAUB25+ and why does it matter?
The MAX6072AAUB25+ exhibits 85ppm thermal hysteresis per output and 2.5ppm hysteresis tracking between outputs. Thermal hysteresis measures output voltage shift after cycling from –40°C to +125°C and back to +25°C. Low hysteresis ensures repeatable voltage values in field-deployed equipment subject to ambient temperature swings - essential for calibration-critical applications like portable medical devices.
Can the MAX6072AAUB25+ operate from a single supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6072AAUB25+ supports single-supply operation: IN1 and IN2 can be tied together to a common 2.8V–5.5V rail. Each reference remains independently controllable via EN1 and EN2, allowing dynamic power sequencing. When powered from a single source, the device maintains full 2.5V/1.25V output accuracy and tracking performance - simplifying power architecture in space-constrained designs.
What output capacitor value is recommended for stable operation of the MAX6072AAUB25+?
The MAX6072AAUB25+ requires an output capacitor between 0.1µF and 10µF on both OUT1F and OUT2F. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to each output pin is sufficient for most applications. For systems with rapidly changing loads or switching noise, use a 10µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor in parallel with the 0.1µF ceramic to suppress transients while maintaining stability.
