Product details
Overview
The MAX6105EUR-T from Maxim Integrated is a 5.000V, low-dropout (LDO), micropower series-mode voltage reference in a 3-pin SOT23 package. It delivers ±0.4% initial accuracy, 75ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and operates from −40°C to +85°C with only 90µA quiescent current. It sources up to 5mA and sinks 2mA, enabling precision analog sensing and ADC biasing in space-constrained portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6105EUR-T datasheet, MAX6105EUR-T pinout, MAX6105EUR-T application, or MAX6105EUR-T equivalent, this device is selected for battery-powered instrumentation requiring stable 5V reference with ultra-low supply current, minimal board area, and no external compensation capacitor.
Technical Context
The MAX6105EUR-T uses a proprietary curvature-correction circuit and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve low drift and high initial accuracy. Its series-mode architecture eliminates dependency on external bias resistors and enables supply current virtually independent of input voltage (4–8µA/V variation).
Internally compensated for stability with capacitive loads, it supports output capacitance from 0 to ≥1µF without oscillation. Dropout voltage is 50mV at 1mA load, and line regulation is 550µV/V max-critical for operation across varying battery voltages in portable designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±0.4% (±20mV) - sets precise full-scale reference for 12-bit+ ADCs and DACs |
| Temp Coefficient | 75ppm/°C max - ensures ≤3.75mV drift over −40°C to +85°C operating range |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in 10µA sleep-mode systems |
| Dropout Voltage | 50mV at 1mA - allows operation down to 5.05V input, compatible with single Li-ion cells under load |
| Load Regulation | 0.9mV/mA (source), 10mV/mA (sink) - maintains stability during dynamic sensor excitation |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 60µVP-P - supports low-noise precision measurement without post-filtering |
| Supply Range | 5.2V to 12.6V - accommodates regulated 5.5V rails and higher-voltage industrial supplies |
Pinout & Package
MAX6105EUR-T is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SOT-23 layouts. Pin 1 = IN (input voltage), Pin 2 = OUT (5.000V reference output), Pin 3 = GND (ground reference). The device requires no external compensation capacitor and is stable with any load capacitance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply Terminal | Accepts 5.2V–12.6V input; internal LDO regulation begins here; decoupling with 0.1µF ceramic recommended for transient immunity |
| 2 (OUT) | Reference Output | Provides stable 5.000V output; capable of sourcing 5mA or sinking 2mA; connects directly to ADC REF+, op-amp bias, or sensor excitation |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Low-impedance return path for reference current; must be tied to clean system ground plane to avoid noise coupling into VREF |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Internally compensated - eliminates 1–2 mm² PCB area and BOM cost per unit in high-volume portable designs |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 90µA typical - reduces standby power by >95% vs. legacy bandgap references (e.g., LM4040) |
| Stable with capacitive loads | Operates reliably from 0 to ≥1µF - supports direct connection to noisy digital ICs without instability risk |
| Low dropout voltage | 50mV at 1mA - enables use with aging batteries or low-headroom regulators where VIN may dip near 5.05V |
| High output current capability | 5mA source / 2mA sink - drives multiple ADC references, op-amp inputs, or low-power sensors without buffering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3450ARJZ-R7 | 5.0V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C TC, 125µA IQ, SOT23-3 | Higher accuracy and lower drift, but 39% higher quiescent current and 2× cost | Select when metrology-grade stability is required and power budget allows >125µA continuous draw |
| REF3050AIDBZR | 5.0V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C TC, 50µA IQ, SOT23-3 | Lower quiescent current, but limited 25mA max output and no sink capability | Select for ultra-low-power sensor biasing where load current never exceeds 25mA and sink function is unnecessary |
Compared with ADR3450ARJZ-R7, MAX6105EUR-T trades 0.3% initial accuracy and 65ppm/°C higher drift for 30µA lower IQ and 2mA sink capability-making it preferable in battery-operated systems driving mixed-signal loads. Against REF3050AIDBZR, it offers 2.5× higher output current and bidirectional drive at the cost of 40µA higher IQ.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX6105EUR-T?
The MAX6105EUR-T has an absolute maximum input voltage of +13.5V referenced to GND. However, its specified operating supply voltage range is 5.2V to 12.6V. Operation above 12.6V is not guaranteed and may impact long-term reliability or parametric performance. Always observe the 13.5V absolute maximum to prevent permanent damage.
Does the MAX6105EUR-T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6105EUR-T does not require an external output capacitor for stability. It is internally compensated and remains stable with any capacitive load-from 0 to ≥1µF. This eliminates board area and BOM cost, making it ideal for ultra-compact designs like wearable sensors and handheld meters where every mm² matters.
Can the MAX6105EUR-T sink current, and if so, how much?
Yes, the MAX6105EUR-T can sink up to 2mA of load current. This bidirectional capability allows it to actively pull down the reference node-useful for calibrating zero-scale points in ratiometric sensor interfaces or driving low-impedance loads that demand sink current during certain phases of operation.
What is the turn-on settling time specification for the MAX6105EUR-T?
The MAX6105EUR-T settles to within 0.1% of final value in 300µs (typical) when measured with COUT = 50pF. Turn-on time increases under worst-case conditions-up to 1.5ms at minimum dropout voltage and maximum load-but remains fully characterized and reliable across the −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
How does the MAX6105EUR-T compare to shunt-mode voltage references in terms of supply efficiency?
Unlike shunt-mode references that waste supply current through a series resistor-even when no load is present-the MAX6105EUR-T draws only 90µA quiescent current regardless of load state. Its supply current varies by just 4–8µA/V with input voltage, making it dramatically more efficient in battery-powered systems where energy conservation is critical.
