Product details
Overview
MAX6133A50+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision, low-power, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 5.000V output with ±0.04% initial accuracy (A grade, SO package), 3ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 200mV max dropout voltage. It operates from 5.2V to 12.6V input, supplies up to 15mA, and serves as a stable reference in high-resolution data converters and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6133A50+ datasheet, MAX6133A50+ pinout, MAX6133A50+ application, or MAX6133A50+ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SO-8 package layout, real-world load/line regulation performance (0.01–0.10 mV/mA, 2–50 µV/V), thermal hysteresis (120 ppm), and design-critical noise (40 µVP-P, 0.1Hz–10Hz) - all confirmed for the exact A-grade, 5V-output, SO-packaged variant.
Technical Context
The MAX6133A50+ is a bandgap-based series-mode voltage reference using laser-trimmed thin-film resistors and post-package trimming to achieve ±0.04% initial accuracy and 3ppm/°C tempco over –40°C to +125°C. Its architecture eliminates external current-setting components and enables direct sourcing of 15mA load current without shunt dissipation.
It features ultra-low quiescent current (40µA typ., ≤85µA over full temperature range), wide supply range (5.2V–12.6V), and robust stability with 0.1µF–100µF output capacitance. The device exhibits 1000-hour long-term drift of 40ppm (SO) and maintains ±0.01% settling within 1000µs at full load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±0.04% (A grade, SO package) - ensures <±2mV absolute error at +25°C for 14-bit DAC reference compliance. |
| Tempco | 3ppm/°C max (–40°C to +125°C) - supports ≤1 LSB error in 16-bit systems across industrial temperature range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV max at 10mA load - enables operation with only 5.2V input, critical for single-supply 5V systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA typical, ≤85µA over –40°C to +125°C - minimizes battery drain in portable instruments and sensor nodes. |
| Load Regulation | 0.01–0.10 mV/mA - holds output within ±150µV over full 15mA load swing, enabling precision analog front-ends. |
| Line Regulation | 2–50 µV/V - rejects supply ripple effectively; <250µV shift over 5.2V–12.6V input range. |
| Output Noise | 40 µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz), 26 µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) - preserves SNR in high-resolution ADC/DAC signal chains. |
| Long-Term Stability | 40ppm over 1000 hours (SO package) - reduces calibration frequency in metrology and test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6133A50+ is supplied in an 8-pin SO (SOIC-N) package measuring 4.90mm × 3.90mm × 1.75mm (max height), compliant with JEDEC MS-012. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; pins are numbered counter-clockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 7 | No Connection (N.C.) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout best practice - no routing or loading required. |
| 2 | IN | Positive supply input (5.2V–12.6V); requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for optimal line transient rejection. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; must connect to clean, low-impedance system ground plane - shared return for IN and OUT paths. |
| 5, 8 | I.C. (Internally Connected) | Internal bond wires; externally inaccessible - leave unconnected; no PCB trace or component attachment permitted. |
| 6 | OUT | Stable 5.000V reference output; requires ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND; stable up to 100µF for improved transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-tempco precision | 3ppm/°C max (–40°C to +125°C) - meets tight drift budgets for industrial control and medical instrumentation. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40µA typical - extends battery life >10 years in 10µA-average IoT sensor nodes powered from coin cells. |
| High load drive capability | 15mA source current - directly drives ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and DACs without external buffers. |
| Wide input voltage range | 5.2V to 12.6V - accommodates unregulated 6V–12V rails and brown-out tolerant operation in automotive subsystems. |
| Low-noise bandgap core | 40µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - avoids noise-induced quantization errors in 16+ bit data acquisition systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR4550BRZ | 5.0V output, ±0.02% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, but 4.5mA quiescent current - 112× higher than MAX6133A50+. | Requires heat management and cannot operate from weak-battery sources; suited for mains-powered lab equipment, not portable devices. | Select ADR4550BRZ only when ultimate initial accuracy (<±1mV) outweighs power budget constraints. |
| REF5050AIDR | 5.0V output, ±0.05% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, 950µA quiescent current, SO-8 package - 23× higher supply current. | Higher noise (12µVRMS, 10Hz–1kHz) and limited 10mA output drive reduce suitability for high-speed DACs or noisy industrial environments. | Choose REF5050AIDR if long-term stability (15ppm/1000h) is prioritized over battery life and transient response. |
Compared with ADR4550BRZ and REF5050AIDR, the MAX6133A50+ uniquely balances ultra-low power (40µA), high output drive (15mA), and industrial-grade tempco (3ppm/°C) in a standard SO-8 footprint - making it the only viable option for space-constrained, battery-operated precision instruments requiring sustained 5V reference stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX6133A50+?
The MAX6133A50+ guarantees 15mA output source current capability across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This allows direct driving of precision op-amps, ADC reference inputs, and DACs without external buffers. Load regulation remains within 0.10 mV/mA up to 15mA, ensuring <±1.5mV total deviation under full load.
Does the MAX6133A50+ require an input bypass capacitor?
Yes - a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the IN pin (Pin 2) is recommended for optimal line-transient performance. While the MAX6133A50+ remains functional without it, omitting the capacitor degrades PSRR and increases susceptibility to supply ripple, especially above 10kHz. The capacitor must be X7R or C0G dielectric with low ESR.
Can the MAX6133A50+ be used with output capacitances larger than 0.1µF?
Yes - the MAX6133A50+ is stable with output capacitance ranging from 0.1µF to 100µF. Larger capacitors (e.g., 10µF–47µF) improve transient response during load steps and reduce overshoot/undershoot, particularly in DAC reference or sensor excitation applications. Ensure low-ESR ceramic or polymer types are used to maintain phase margin.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for the MAX6133A50+?
The MAX6133A50+ 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 reflects mechanical stress effects on the bandgap core. It is fully characterized and guaranteed across the A-grade SO variant.
Is the MAX6133A50+ compatible with 3.3V logic I/O or control interfaces?
No - the MAX6133A50+ is a passive voltage reference IC with no digital interface, control pins, or logic-level compatibility. It provides only an analog 5.000V output. Control functionality (e.g., enable/disable) is not supported; the device operates continuously when powered within its 5.2V–12.6V input range. Any on/off sequencing must be managed externally via the IN supply rail.
