Product details
Overview
MAX6133A41+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision, low-power, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 4.096V output with ±0.04% initial accuracy (A-grade SO), 3ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 200mV max dropout voltage. It operates from 4.2V to 12.6V input, draws only 45µA typical quiescent current, and supports up to 15mA source current - ideal for precision ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6133A41+T datasheet, MAX6133A41+T pinout, MAX6133A41+T application, or MAX6133A41+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 4.096V output stability over –40°C to +125°C, low 32µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise, and SO-8 package compatibility with space-constrained industrial sensor nodes and battery-powered data loggers.
Technical Context
The MAX6133A41+T uses bandgap-based series-mode architecture with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors and post-package trimming to achieve ±0.04% initial accuracy and 3ppm/°C tempco across –40°C to +125°C. Its low 45µA supply current remains stable over 4.2V–12.6V input range, enabling direct integration into low-power microcontroller systems without external regulators.
It delivers 15mA output sourcing capability with 0.08mV/mA max load regulation and 40µV/V max line regulation, supporting dynamic loads in precision analog front-ends. The device features internal connection of pins 5 and 8 (I.C.), requires ≥0.1µF output capacitance for stability, and exhibits 800µs turn-on settling to ±0.01% of final value at 4.096V output.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5040AIDR | 4.096V, 3ppm/°C, 100µA IQ, SO-8 - higher quiescent current, no load regulation spec | Requires external decoupling for 15mA loads; less suitable for ultra-low-power portable designs | Select when higher PSRR (>110dB) is required over battery life optimization |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of the MAX6133A41+T at +25°C?
The MAX6133A41+T guarantees ±0.04% initial output voltage accuracy at +25°C, as specified for the A-grade SO package variant. This corresponds to ±1.64mV deviation from the nominal 4.096V output, verified by laser trimming and post-package calibration during manufacturing.
Does the MAX6133A41+T require external capacitors for stable operation?
Yes, the MAX6133A41+T requires a minimum 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between OUT and GND for stability, and a 0.1µF capacitor on the IN pin is recommended for optimal line-transient response. These capacitors must be placed as close as possible to their respective pins to minimize parasitic inductance.
What is the maximum load current the MAX6133A41+T can source while maintaining regulation?
The MAX6133A41+T is specified to source up to 15mA while maintaining output voltage regulation within its published accuracy and dropout specifications. Load regulation is guaranteed at 0.08mV/mA max, meaning output shifts by ≤1.2mV across the full 0–15mA range.
Can the MAX6133A41+T operate from a 5V supply rail?
Yes, the MAX6133A41+T operates from a minimum input voltage of 4.2V, making it fully compatible with standard 5V supply rails. At 5V input, it maintains 4.096V output with 200mV dropout margin, supporting robust operation even with ±5% supply tolerance and PCB trace drops.
How does the MAX6133A41+T's 0.1Hz–10Hz noise performance impact 16-bit ADC applications?
The MAX6133A41+T's 32µVP-P noise in the 0.1Hz–10Hz band contributes approximately 0.08 LSB of uncertainty in a 16-bit system referenced to 4.096V, well below the 1LSB threshold (63µV). This eliminates the need for additional noise-filtering circuitry in high-fidelity data acquisition paths.
