Product details
Overview
The MAX6133A30 from Maxim Integrated is a precision series-mode voltage reference delivering 3.000V output with ±0.04% initial accuracy (A-grade SO package), 3ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 200mV max dropout voltage - enabling high-accuracy analog signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation and portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6133A30 datasheet, MAX6133A30 pinout, MAX6133A30 application, or MAX6133A30 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package mapping, real-world load regulation behavior (0.003–0.06 mV/mA), noise performance (24 µVP-P, 0.1Hz–10Hz), and validated alternative options for precision reference design.
Technical Context
The MAX6133A30 employs bandgap-based series architecture with post-package laser trimming of thin-film resistors, achieving 0.04% initial accuracy and 3ppm/°C tempco over –40°C to +125°C. Its low 40µA quiescent current remains stable across 3.2V–12.6V input range, minimizing power loss in supply-constrained systems.
It delivers 15mA source capability with guaranteed load regulation ≤0.06 mV/mA and line regulation ≤30 µV/V, supporting direct driving of ADC reference inputs, DAC bias networks, and precision regulator feedback nodes without external buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0000 V (±0.04% initial tolerance at +25°C, A-grade SO) |
| Tempco | 3 ppm/°C max (–40°C to +125°C, A-grade SO) - enables ≤0.9 LSB drift over full range in 16-bit systems |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV max (at 10mA load) - supports operation from 3.2V input when outputting 3.0V |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (+25°C), ≤85 µA (–40°C to +125°C) - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 24 µVP-P - suitable for 16-bit SAR ADCs requiring <1 LSB noise contribution |
| Load Regulation | 0.003–0.06 mV/mA - ensures stable reference under dynamic load changes up to 15mA |
| Line Regulation | 2–30 µV/V - maintains accuracy despite input rail variation in unregulated supplies |
Pinout & Package
MAX6133A30 is supplied in an 8-pin SO (SOICN) package measuring 4.90mm × 3.90mm × 1.75mm (max height), with gull-wing leads and 1.27mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 7 | N.C. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| 2 | IN | Positive supply input (3.2V–12.6V); requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; low-impedance return path critical for noise performance |
| 5, 8 | I.C. | Internally connected; no external connection permitted - floating or grounded violates specification |
| 6 | OUT | Stable 3.000V reference output; minimum 0.1µF output capacitance required for stability |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3430ARZ | 3.0V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max tempco, 65µA IQ, SOT-23-5 | Higher tempco and accuracy tolerance; smaller footprint but lower precision | Choose when board space is critical and 16-bit system accuracy is sufficient |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX6133A30?
The MAX6133A30 guarantees 15mA output source current capability across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). Load regulation is specified at ≤0.06 mV/mA, meaning output voltage deviation remains within ±0.9mV at full 15mA load - sufficient to drive most precision ADC reference inputs and op-amp bias networks without external buffers. The MAX6133A30 maintains this performance with input voltages as low as 3.2V.
Does the MAX6133A30 require external capacitors, and if so, what values?
Yes - the MAX6133A30 requires a minimum 0.1µF ceramic capacitor on both IN and OUT pins. The input capacitor must be placed adjacent to pin 2 (IN) to suppress line transients; the output capacitor (≥0.1µF, up to 100µF) ensures stability and improves transient response. These values are validated in the MAX6133A30 Typical Operating Circuit and confirmed across all output variants including MAX6133A30.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for the MAX6133A30?
The MAX6133A30 exhibits 120ppm thermal hysteresis - defined as the change in output voltage at +25°C before and after cycling between –40°C and +125°C. This value is identical for both SO and µMAX packages and is measured per Note 3 in the MAX6133A30 datasheet. It represents a fixed offset error independent of temperature ramp rate or dwell time.
Can the MAX6133A30 be used with a 3.3V supply rail?
Yes - the MAX6133A30 operates with a minimum input voltage of 3.2V (for 3.0V output), making it fully compatible with standard 3.3V supply rails. At 3.3V input, the dropout margin is 300mV, well above the 200mV max specification, ensuring stable regulation even under worst-case load and temperature conditions. The MAX6133A30 quiescent current remains ~40µA at this input voltage.
How does the noise performance of the MAX6133A30 compare across output voltages?
The MAX6133A30 delivers 24µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) output voltage noise - a value confirmed in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS-MAX6133_30" table. This is higher than the 16µVP-P of the 2.5V variant but lower than the 40µVP-P of the 5.0V version, following the expected scaling with output voltage. All noise figures are measured under identical conditions (CLOAD = 0.1µF, TA = +25°C) and apply strictly to the MAX6133A30.
