Product details
Overview
The MAX6072AAUB41+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision dual-output series voltage reference delivering 4.096V and 2.048V outputs with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 6ppm/°C max temperature drift over -40°C to +125°C, and 9.6μVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) 1/f noise. It sources/sinks ±10mA per output with independent force/sense pins and enables precision ADC common-mode biasing in industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6072AAUB41+ datasheet, MAX6072AAUB41+ pinout, MAX6072AAUB41+ application, or MAX6072AAUB41+ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail tracking stability (0.4ppm/°C drift matching), low 150μA quiescent current per reference, thermal hysteresis of 85ppm, and μMAX-10 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6072AAUB41+ integrates two independent BiCMOS bandgap references with Kelvin force/sense architecture for each output-OUT1F/OUT1S for 4.096V and OUT2F/OUT2S for 2.048V-enabling cancellation of trace resistance errors. Each reference features separate enable inputs (EN1/EN2) and supply inputs (IN1/IN2), allowing independent power sequencing and noise isolation.
Its design supports precision signal chains requiring matched temperature coefficients and long-term stability: 15ppm drift over 1000 hours, 2.5ppm thermal hysteresis tracking between outputs, and 80dB/86dB ripple rejection at 60Hz for VREF1/VREF2 respectively-critical for high-resolution SAR and delta-sigma ADCs.

Pinout & Package
The MAX6072AAUB41+ is housed in a 10-pin μMAX® package (U10M+5 outline, 3mm × 3mm footprint) with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin 3 and Pin 8 are both GND and must connect to a solid ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT1F) | VREF1 Force Output | Delivers 4.096V to load; must be shorted to OUT1S near load to eliminate trace IR drop |
| 2 (OUT1S) | VREF1 Sense Input | Feedback node for internal regulation; connects to OUT1F at load point for Kelvin sensing |
| 3, 8 (GND) | Ground Reference | Dual ground pins require low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane for noise immunity |
| 4 (EN2) | VREF2 Enable Control | Active-high logic input; disables VREF2 (2.048V) to reduce system power during idle cycles |
| 5 (IN2) | VREF2 Supply Input | Independent 2.7V–5.5V supply for second reference; allows separate LDO feeding for PSRR optimization |
| 6 (OUT2F) | VREF2 Force Output | Delivers 2.048V to load; shorted to OUT2S at load for accurate common-mode bias generation |
| 7 (OUT2S) | VREF2 Sense Input | Sense feedback for VREF2 regulation; critical for maintaining VREF2/VREF1 ratio accuracy |
| 9 (EN1) | VREF1 Enable Control | Active-high logic input; enables/disables 4.096V output independently for power sequencing |
| 10 (IN1) | VREF1 Supply Input | Independent 4.3V–5.5V supply for primary reference; supports headroom for 4.096V output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6072AAUB50+ | Outputs 5.000V/2.500V instead of 4.096V/2.048V; identical accuracy (±0.05%), drift (6ppm/°C), and package | Targeted at 5V-system ADCs and legacy designs using 5V full-scale references | Select when system ADC resolution requires exact 5V reference (e.g., 5V/65536 = 76.3μV/LSB vs. 4.096V/65536 = 62.5μV/LSB) |
| LT6657IMS8-4.096#PBF | Single 4.096V output with 2ppm/°C drift, 0.025% accuracy, and 1.8μVP-P noise; 8-pin MSOP package | Lacks VREF/2 output, requiring external resistor divider or second reference for common-mode bias | Choose when ultra-low drift/noise outweighs need for integrated dual-rail solution and board space permits discrete bias network |
Compared with MAX6072AAUB50+, the MAX6072AAUB41+ provides optimized 4.096V/2.048V outputs for 16-bit systems where LSB size must match standard binary scaling; versus LT6657, it trades marginal noise/drift improvement for integrated dual-rail functionality, eliminating layout complexity and matching errors from external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by each output of the MAX6072AAUB41+?
The MAX6072AAUB41+ supports ±10mA sourcing and sinking capability on both the 4.096V (OUT1F/OUT1S) and 2.048V (OUT2F/OUT2S) outputs. This is sufficient to drive typical ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small-signal conditioning circuits without external buffers. The device maintains specified accuracy and noise performance across this full current range.
How does the Kelvin force/sense architecture improve accuracy in the MAX6072AAUB41+?
The MAX6072AAUB41+ uses separate force (OUTxF) and sense (OUTxS) pins for each output to eliminate voltage drop errors caused by PCB trace resistance. By routing the sense line directly to the load's reference input point-and shorting it to the force pin there-the internal regulator corrects for IR losses. This ensures the actual voltage delivered to the load matches the specified 4.096V/2.048V within ±0.05% accuracy, even with 100mΩ trace resistance.
Can the MAX6072AAUB41+ operate from a single supply rail, or do IN1 and IN2 require separate voltages?
The MAX6072AAUB41+ supports both configurations: IN1 and IN2 may be tied together to a single supply (e.g., +5V), or powered independently. For optimal PSRR, IN2 can be supplied from a cleaner LDO than IN1. The required ranges differ-IN1 needs ≥4.3V for 4.096V output, while IN2 only requires ≥2.7V for 2.048V-allowing flexible power architecture design in the MAX6072AAUB41+.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for the MAX6072AAUB41+, and why does it matter in field applications?
The MAX6072AAUB41+ exhibits 85ppm absolute thermal hysteresis on each output and 2.5ppm hysteresis tracking between outputs. This means that after cycling from -40°C to +125°C and back to +25°C, the output voltage shifts by ≤85ppm from its original +25°C value. In field-deployed equipment subject to daily thermal cycles (e.g., outdoor sensors), low hysteresis ensures repeatable measurements without recalibration drift.
Is the MAX6072AAUB41+ compatible with ceramic output capacitors, and what is the recommended range?
Yes, the MAX6072AAUB41+ is stable with ceramic output capacitors ranging from 0.1μF to 10μF on both outputs. A 0.1μF X7R ceramic capacitor placed close to each OUTxF pin is the minimum recommended for high-frequency noise suppression. For applications with rapidly changing loads (e.g., multiplexed ADC sampling), a 10μF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic in parallel with 0.1μF ceramic is advised to maintain transient response and stability in the MAX6072AAUB41+.
