Product details
Overview
MAX6125EUR+T from Maxim Integrated is a 2.5V, low-dropout (200mV), micropower (75µA typical) three-terminal voltage reference in SOT23-3 package, designed for precision analog signal conditioning and ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered systems. It delivers ±1% initial accuracy, 15ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient, and stable operation with capacitive loads up to 10nF.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6125EUR+T datasheet, MAX6125EUR+T pinout, MAX6125EUR+T application, or MAX6125EUR+T equivalent, this device is selected for high-accuracy, low-quiescent-current voltage referencing in portable instrumentation, data-acquisition front-ends, and 3V/5V embedded sensor interfaces where supply headroom and thermal drift are critical constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX6125EUR+T employs a bandgap-based reference core with internal trimming for ±1% initial output tolerance at +25°C and guaranteed ≤50ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to +85°C. Its 200mV dropout enables regulation from VIN as low as 2.7V while maintaining 2.5V output.
Supply current remains stable across input voltage (2.7V–12.6V) and temperature, varying only 1.7–6µA/V and 75–130µA over full range. Output noise is 15µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) and 500µVP-P (10Hz–10kHz), supporting high-resolution measurement circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±1% at +25°C; 2.450V–2.550V over –40°C to +85°C - ensures stable bias for 12-bit+ ADCs without recalibration |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV at 1mA load - enables operation from 2.7V supply in 3V systems with margin |
| Quiescent Current | 75µA typical, ≤130µA over temperature - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Tempco | 15ppm/°C typical, ≤50ppm/°C max - contributes ≤125ppm (0.0125%) error over 85°C span |
| Load Regulation | 0.4–1.0mV/mA sourcing - maintains <0.04% output shift under 1mA dynamic load changes |
| Line Regulation | 1–50µV/V - rejects input ripple better than 100dB up to low frequencies |
| Output Noise | 15µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - suitable for precision weigh-scale and medical front-ends |
Pinout & Package
MAX6125EUR+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AB), with 1.3mm × 0.8mm footprint and 0.95mm height. Pin 1 = IN, Pin 2 = OUT, Pin 3 = GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.7V–12.6V; must be ≥ (VOUT + 200mV) for regulation; decoupling with 0.1µF ceramic recommended |
| 2 (OUT) | Stable 2.5V reference output | Source/sink capable up to ±1mA; stable with 0–10nF capacitive load; no external capacitor required |
| 3 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Low-impedance return path; must be connected directly to system AGND plane to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout (200mV) | Enables use in 3V battery systems down to ~2.7V cutoff without loss of regulation |
| Micropower operation (75µA) | Reduces average current draw in sleep-mode data loggers to sub-100µA system level |
| Capacitive-load stability (0–10nF) | Eliminates need for output capacitor, simplifying layout and avoiding phase-margin risks |
| Supply-current independence | IQ varies <6µA/V across input range - prevents gain error in ratiometric sensor bridges |
| Thermal hysteresis (80ppm) | Limits repeatability error after thermal cycling - critical for calibration-critical test equipment |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3025AIDBVR | 2.5V, 50ppm/°C max, 50µA IQ, SOT23-3 - lower quiescent current but higher tempco guarantee | Suitable for ultra-low-power IoT nodes where tempco relaxation is acceptable | Select REF3025AIDBVR when <50µA IQ is mandatory and ±0.05% total error budget allows higher drift |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5V, 10ppm/°C max, 120µA IQ, SOT23-3 - tighter tempco but 60% higher supply current | Better for lab-grade instruments requiring <25ppm total drift over 0–70°C | Select ADR3425ARJZ-R7 when long-term stability and low hysteresis outweigh battery-life concerns |
Compared with MAX6125EUR+T, REF3025AIDBVR trades 25ppm/°C tighter tempco spec for 25µA lower IQ, while ADR3425ARJZ-R7 achieves 5ppm/°C better tempco at cost of 45µA higher IQ - making MAX6125EUR+T the optimal balance for industrial portable devices needing both low power and moderate precision.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MAX6125EUR+T?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MAX6125EUR+T is +13.5V relative to GND. However, the recommended operating range is 2.7V to 12.6V. Exceeding 12.6V may degrade long-term reliability or cause parametric shift, even if within absolute maximum ratings. Always maintain VIN ≥ (VOUT + 200mV) = 2.7V for proper regulation. The MAX6125EUR+T datasheet specifies continuous operation up to 12.6V at full temperature range.
Can MAX6125EUR+T drive a 10nF capacitive load without oscillation?
Yes, MAX6125EUR+T is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with capacitive loads from 0nF to 10nF - no external compensation or series resistance is required. This capability eliminates output capacitor dependencies in DAC reference buffers and simplifies PCB layout. The stability margin is verified across –40°C to +85°C and full load range. This behavior is intrinsic to the MAX6125EUR+T internal architecture and confirmed in the Typical Operating Characteristics section of its datasheet.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for MAX6125EUR+T?
The thermal hysteresis for MAX6125EUR+T is specified as 80ppm, measured over multiple temperature cycles from –40°C to +85°C and back. This value represents the maximum residual output voltage shift after thermal cycling, independent of temperature coefficient. It directly impacts repeatability in field-deployed equipment subject to ambient cycling. The 80ppm hysteresis is a guaranteed maximum per the MAX6125EUR+T datasheet and applies to all units in the SOT23-3 package variant.
Does MAX6125EUR+T require an input bypass capacitor?
A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended at the IN pin of MAX6125EUR+T for optimal line-transient response, especially in noisy supply environments. While not strictly required for DC regulation, omitting it degrades PSRR above 10kHz and increases output perturbation during input voltage steps. The capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the IN and GND pins. This recommendation is validated in the MAX6125EUR+T Typical Operating Circuit and Line-Transient Response plots.
How does load regulation behave when sinking current from MAX6125EUR+T?
When sinking up to 1mA, MAX6125EUR+T exhibits load regulation of 1.15–10mV/mA, meaning output voltage drops by that amount per mA drawn from the OUT pin. This is higher than sourcing regulation (0.4–1.0mV/mA) due to internal transistor topology. For applications requiring bidirectional current handling - such as driving transmission gates or active filters - this asymmetry must be accounted for in error budgeting. The exact value depends on temperature and is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for MAX6125EUR+T.
