Product details
Overview
The MAX6078AMWT25+T from Analog Devices is a precision 2.5V voltage reference IC with ±0.04% initial accuracy, <10ppm/°C temperature drift, and 12µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) low-frequency noise. It sources/sinks up to ±3mA load current, operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input, and features force-sense output architecture for high-accuracy biasing in precision ADCs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6078AMWT25+T datasheet, MAX6078AMWT25+T pinout, MAX6078AMWT25+T application, or MAX6078AMWT25+T equivalent, this device delivers ultra-low drift and noise performance in a 1.5mm × 1.3mm 6-bump WLP package-critical for space-constrained, high-stability analog signal chains requiring long-term stability (16ppm typical over 4000 hours) and wideband noise reduction via NR pin.
Technical Context
The MAX6078AMWT25+T implements a bandgap-based reference core with independent force (OUTF) and sense (OUTS) outputs to eliminate PCB trace IR drop errors. Its enable-controlled shutdown reduces supply current to ≤2µA, while the NR pin accepts a 0.01µF capacitor to reduce 100Hz spectral noise density from 580nV/√Hz to 385nV/√Hz.
It supports operation across –55°C to +125°C with 100mV dropout at 3mA load and maintains 0.1% settling in 5ms (no NR cap) or 50ms (with 0.01µF NR cap), enabling fast wake-up in battery-powered instrumentation and portable test equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.04% (±1mV) at +25°C - ensures direct compatibility with 2.5V ADC/DAC reference rails without calibration. |
| Temp Coefficient | <10ppm/°C (–55°C to +125°C) - enables ≤250µV total drift over full industrial range, critical for process control transmitters. |
| Low-Freq Noise | 12µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - minimizes quantization uncertainty in 24-bit delta-sigma ADCs used in precision weigh scales. |
| Supply Current | 15µA max (at +25°C, VIN = 5V) - allows multi-year operation from coin-cell batteries in wireless sensor nodes. |
| Load Drive | ±3mA sourcing/sinking - supports driving 800Ω loads directly, eliminating need for external buffer in low-power DAC reference paths. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 3mA load - permits operation from 2.7V supply while maintaining 2.5V output, ideal for single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Long-Term Drift | 16ppm typical (4000hrs at +35°C) - guarantees stable calibration over product lifetime in medical diagnostic equipment. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6078AMWT25+T uses a 1.5mm × 1.3mm, 0.5mm pitch, 6-bump Wafer-Level Package (WLP) optimized for minimal board area and thermal performance. The exposed die attach pad (EP) must remain unconnected for optimal stress-free operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | OUTS | Sense feedback input - connects directly at load point to cancel PCB trace resistance error in precision current sources or remote sensing. |
| A2 | OUTF | Force output - delivers regulated 2.5V to load; bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor to GND for stability and noise filtering. |
| A3 | NR | Noise reduction input - accepts 0.01µF capacitor to GND to lower wideband noise spectral density by ~34% at 100Hz. |
| B1 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be connected to clean, low-impedance system ground plane to minimize PSRR degradation. |
| B2 | IN | Power supply input - operates from 2.7V to 5.5V; requires local 0.1µF bypass capacitor to suppress supply ripple. |
| B3 | EN | Enable control - logic-high (>0.7×VIN) enables output; logic-low (<0.3×VIN) disables output and reduces IQ to ≤2µA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Force-sense output architecture | Eliminates voltage drop errors on PCB traces up to 100mΩ, preserving 2.5V accuracy at remote load points. |
| Wideband noise reduction (NR) pin | Reduces 100Hz noise spectral density from 580nV/√Hz to 385nV/√Hz using only a 0.01µF capacitor-no active filtering required. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 15µA max enables integration into always-on sensor nodes powered by energy-harvesting circuits or microampere battery supplies. |
| Extended temperature operation | Specified from –55°C to +125°C supports deployment in automotive under-hood modules and industrial motor drives. |
| High PSRR and ripple rejection | 50dB rejection at 60Hz allows direct use from noisy switch-mode power supplies without additional LDO filtering. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR4525BRZ-R7 | 2.5V, ±0.02% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C drift, 1.8µA supply current, SOIC-8 package (4.9mm × 6.0mm) | Higher accuracy and lower drift, but larger footprint and no force-sense outputs - unsuitable for remote-sensing layouts. | Select when ultimate initial accuracy outweighs board space and remote sensing needs; verify SOIC-8 thermal derating in sealed enclosures. |
| REF5025IDR | 2.5V, ±0.05% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C drift, 950µA supply current, SOIC-8 package | Higher power consumption and no enable/shutdown - incompatible with ultra-low-power or duty-cycled systems. | Choose only if higher drive strength (±10mA) is required and continuous operation is acceptable; avoid for battery-powered designs. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX6078AMWT25+T at room temperature?
The MAX6078AMWT25+T has an initial output voltage tolerance of ±0.04% (±1mV) at +25°C, verified by 100% production testing. This tight accuracy eliminates the need for post-assembly trimming in precision data acquisition systems and ensures consistent performance across production batches of the MAX6078AMWT25+T.
How does the force-sense (OUTF/OUTS) architecture improve accuracy in the MAX6078AMWT25+T?
The MAX6078AMWT25+T uses separate OUTF (force) and OUTS (sense) pins to regulate voltage at the load point rather than at the IC output pad. By routing OUTS directly to the load, the MAX6078AMWT25+T cancels voltage drops across PCB traces and interconnects-enabling sub-0.01% gain error even with 100mΩ series resistance in remote-sensing applications.
What capacitor value should be used on the NR pin of the MAX6078AMWT25+T for optimal noise reduction?
A 0.01µF capacitor connected between the NR pin and GND provides optimal wideband noise reduction for the MAX6078AMWT25+T, lowering 100Hz spectral noise density from 580nV/√Hz to 385nV/√Hz. Larger values yield diminishing returns; smaller values provide less attenuation. The capacitor must be placed close to the NR pin with short, low-inductance traces.
Can the MAX6078AMWT25+T operate from a 2.7V supply while delivering full 2.5V output?
Yes-the MAX6078AMWT25+T supports input voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V and maintains full 2.5V output with only 100mV dropout at 3mA load. At 2.7V input, it delivers regulated 2.5V output with sufficient headroom, making the MAX6078AMWT25+T suitable for single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) and 3V primary battery applications.
What is the long-term stability specification for the MAX6078AMWT25+T, and how is it measured?
The MAX6078AMWT25+T exhibits 16ppm typical long-term drift over 4000 hours at +35°C, measured as cumulative change in output voltage at +25°C before and after accelerated aging. This metric reflects real-world calibration stability in medical and industrial equipment, ensuring the MAX6078AMWT25+T maintains accuracy without field recalibration for multi-year deployments.
