Product details
Overview
MAX6126AASA33+T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-high-precision, ultra-low-noise series voltage reference delivering 3.300V output with ±0.02% (max) initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C (max) temperature coefficient over –40°C to +125°C, and 1.95µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) flicker noise - enabling high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in automotive and industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6126AASA33+T datasheet, MAX6126AASA33+T pinout, MAX6126AASA33+T application, or MAX6126AASA33+T equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (8-pin SO), force/sense output architecture, dropout voltage ≤200mV at 10mA, load regulation ≤40µV/mA, and noise-reduction capacitor interface for 60nV/√Hz → 60nV/√Hz wideband noise optimization.
Technical Context
The MAX6126AASA33+T employs curvature-correction circuitry and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve 3ppm/°C max tempco and ±0.02% max initial accuracy across –40°C to +125°C. Its proprietary low-noise architecture separates force (OUTF) and sense (OUTS) outputs to eliminate line-drop errors in precision current sources and remote-sensing applications.
It operates from 3.5V to 12.6V supply, draws 380µA quiescent current (independent of VIN), supports 0.1µF–10µF capacitive loads, and integrates a dedicated NR pin for external 0.1µF capacitor to reduce 1kHz wideband noise from 100nV/√Hz to 60nV/√Hz - without increasing supply current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±0.02% at +25°C - enables direct interface with 3.3V logic and SAR ADC reference inputs without scaling. |
| Tempco (–40°C to +125°C) | ≤5ppm/°C (A grade SO) - ensures <±165µV drift over full automotive range, critical for calibration stability. |
| Flicker Noise (0.1Hz–10Hz) | 1.95µVP-P - minimizes low-frequency error in precision weigh scales and digital voltmeters. |
| Wideband Noise (1kHz) | 100nV/√Hz (no NR cap); 60nV/√Hz (with 0.1µF on NR) - directly reduces quantization noise floor in 20-bit+ converters. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤200mV at 10mA load - allows operation from 3.5V supply while maintaining regulation for 3.3V systems. |
| Load Regulation | ≤40µV/mA sourcing - maintains <±400µV error across full 10mA load range, supporting active filter and DAC buffer designs. |
| Supply Current | 380µA typical, ≤725µA over –40°C to +125°C - enables low-power battery-backed precision measurement nodes. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6126AASA33+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 NR | Noise Reduction | Accepts 0.1µF capacitor to reduce 1kHz noise from 100nV/√Hz to 60nV/√Hz; left open if unused. |
| 2 IN | Positive Supply Input | Operates from 3.5V to 12.6V; supplies internal bandgap and error amplifier; bypass to GND recommended. |
| 3 GND | Power Ground | Main ground return for internal circuitry; separate from GNDS to enable Kelvin sensing. |
| 4 GNDS | Ground Sense | Connects to load-side ground point to cancel ground path IR drop in precision current sources. |
| 5, 8 I.C. | Internally Connected | No external connection; internally tied to GND or floating - must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
| 6 OUTS | Voltage Sense Output | High-impedance feedback node; connects to load-side reference point to regulate OUTF voltage remotely. |
| 7 OUTF | Voltage Force Output | Low-impedance power output; delivers up to 10mA; bypassed with 0.1–10µF capacitor to GND near load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Force/Sense Output Architecture | Separates OUTF (current delivery) and OUTS (voltage sensing) to eliminate line-drop errors in 4-wire remote sensing. |
| Ultra-Low Flicker Noise | 1.95µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) enables sub-20-bit effective resolution in precision data acquisition systems. |
| Curvature-Corrected Bandgap Core | Laser-trimmed thin-film resistors deliver ≤5ppm/°C tempco over –40°C to +125°C without external compensation. |
| Stable with Wide Capacitive Load Range | Guaranteed stability with 0.1µF–10µF output capacitance - supports both fast transient response (0.1µF) and ripple suppression (10µF). |
| Low Dropout & High PSRR | 200mV max dropout at 10mA; >60dB PSRR at 100Hz - rejects supply ripple in noisy industrial power rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR4533BRZ | 3.3V, ±0.02% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max tempco, but higher 3.8µVP-P flicker noise and no force/sense outputs. | Lacks Kelvin sensing; unsuitable for precision current sources with long traces or high load currents. | Select when ultra-low noise is secondary to cost and footprint; requires external buffering for load regulation. |
| REF5033AIDR | 3.3V, ±0.05% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 1.6µVP-P noise, but 1.2mA quiescent current and no NR pin. | Higher supply current limits battery life; no noise-reduction capacitor option restricts wideband noise optimization. | Prefer where long-term stability (15ppm/1000hr) outweighs low-noise priority; avoid in space-constrained or low-power designs. |
Compared with ADR4533BRZ and REF5033AIDR, the MAX6126AASA33+T uniquely combines force/sense architecture, 0.1µF NR-capable wideband noise reduction, and 380µA quiescent current - making it optimal for remote-sensing, low-power, and high-SNR precision analog systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX6126AASA33+T?
The MAX6126AASA33+T supports up to 10mA of sourced or sunk load current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. Load regulation is guaranteed ≤40µV/mA for sourcing (0–10mA) and ≤40µV/mA for sinking (–10mA to 0), ensuring stable 3.3V reference performance under dynamic load conditions encountered in DAC buffers and active filters.
Can the MAX6126AASA33+T be used with a 3.3V supply rail?
No - the MAX6126AASA33+T requires a minimum supply voltage of 3.5V (VIN ≥ VOUT + 200mV) to maintain regulation. Using a 3.3V rail would place the device below dropout, causing output collapse. A 5V or higher supply is recommended to ensure margin for line drop, ripple, and temperature variation.
How does the NR (Noise Reduction) pin function on the MAX6126AASA33+T?
The NR pin on the MAX6126AASA33+T accepts an external 0.1µF capacitor to reduce 1kHz wideband noise from 100nV/√Hz to 60nV/√Hz. It has no effect on 0.1Hz–10Hz flicker noise (1.95µVP-P). Leaving NR unconnected retains default noise performance; adding larger capacitors (e.g., 100µF) further reduces flicker noise to 0.6µVP-P, but increases turn-on time to 20ms.
What is the purpose of separate OUTF and OUTS pins on the MAX6126AASA33+T?
OUTF (Force Output) delivers current to the load, while OUTS (Sense Output) provides a high-impedance feedback node connected directly to the load's reference point. This Kelvin configuration cancels voltage drop across PCB traces or cables between the MAX6126AASA33+T and the load - essential for precision current sources and remote ADC references where trace resistance would otherwise degrade accuracy.
Is the MAX6126AASA33+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - the MAX6126AASA33+T is rated for the automotive temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements. Its 5ppm/°C max tempco, 20ppm/1000hr long-term stability, and robust ESD tolerance (±2kV HBM) make it suitable for engine control units, battery management systems, and ADAS sensor signal conditioning where reference stability is mission-critical.
