Product details
Overview
MAX6133AASA30+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision, low-power, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 3.000V output with ±0.04% initial accuracy (A grade, SO package), 3ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 200mV max dropout voltage, and 40µA quiescent current - ideal for precision A/D and D/A converters in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6133AASA30+ datasheet, MAX6133AASA30+ pinout, MAX6133AASA30+ application, or MAX6133AASA30+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation guidance, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX6133AASA30+ 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 biasing components and enables stable operation with 0.1µF to 100µF output capacitance.
It operates across a 3.2V to 12.6V input range while sourcing up to 15mA load current, with line regulation ≤30µV/V and load regulation ≤0.06mV/mA - enabling direct integration into precision analog signal chains without additional regulation stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.000V ±0.04% at +25°C - ensures 12-bit DAC full-scale error remains <0.5 LSB over temperature |
| Tempco | 3ppm/°C max (–40°C to +125°C) - supports ≤1 LSB drift in 16-bit systems over full industrial range |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV max at 10mA - allows operation from 3.2V supply while maintaining 3.0V reference under load |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in handheld meters with 200mAh coin cell |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 24µVP-P - contributes <0.001% RMS error in 24-bit sigma-delta ADC front-ends |
| Load Regulation | 0.06mV/mA max - limits output shift to <90µV across 0–15mA load variation |
| Line Regulation | 30µV/V max - holds output stable within 90µV over 3.2–12.6V input swing |
Pinout & Package
MAX6133AASA30+ uses an 8-pin SO (SOIC-N) package measuring 4.9mm × 3.9mm × 1.5mm, with gull-wing leads and standard 1.27mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| 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 |
| 2 | IN | Positive supply input - requires ≥0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - forms return path for reference output and internal bandgap core |
| 5, 8 | I.C. (Internally Connected) | Internal bond wires - externally inaccessible; must not be connected to any net |
| 6 | OUT | Precision 3.000V reference output - requires ≥0.1µF decoupling to GND for stability and transient immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-tempco SO package | 3ppm/°C max (–40°C to +125°C) - enables single-point calibration in field-deployed sensors |
| Laser-trimmed accuracy | ±0.04% initial tolerance - eliminates need for system-level trimming in medical-grade data loggers |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40µA independent of VIN - permits direct connection to microcontroller VDD rail without loading |
| Wide input range | 3.2V to 12.6V - supports operation from Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), 5V rails, and 12V industrial supplies |
| High load drive | 15mA source capability - drives multiple SAR ADC references or op-amp buffers without external gain stage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3030AIDBZR | 3ppm/°C tempco, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package | Lower accuracy and no SO-8 footprint compatibility; limited to ≤10mA load | Select when board space is critical and ±0.2% system accuracy suffices |
| ADR3430ARZ | 3ppm/°C tempco, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 120µA IQ, SO-8 package | Higher quiescent current reduces battery life; same pinout but different IN/GND/OUT assignment | Select when long-term stability (50ppm/1000h) outweighs ultra-low power needs |
Compared with REF3030AIDBZR and ADR3430ARZ, MAX6133AASA30+ uniquely delivers ±0.04% initial accuracy in an SO-8 package with 40µA IQ - making it the only option that simultaneously meets stringent accuracy, low-power, and legacy SO-8 layout requirements for upgrade paths in existing industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX6133AASA30+?
The MAX6133AASA30+ guarantees stable operation with up to 15mA of sourced output current across its full temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Source-Current Capability" and validated in the DROPOUT VOLTAGE vs. OUTPUT CURRENT plots (toc05/toc06), where performance remains within spec up to 15mA with ≤400mV dropout at worst-case conditions.
Does the MAX6133AASA30+ require input or output capacitors for stability?
Yes - the MAX6133AASA30+ requires a minimum 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from IN to GND for optimal line-transient response, and a minimum 0.1µF capacitor from OUT to GND for stability. The device remains stable with output capacitance up to 100µF, as stated in the Applications Information section. These values are mandatory for meeting specified load/line regulation and noise performance.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for the MAX6133AASA30+?
The MAX6133AASA30+ 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 Electrical Characteristics tables. It directly impacts repeatability in cyclic thermal environments like outdoor sensor enclosures.
Can the MAX6133AASA30+ be used with a 3.3V supply?
Yes - the MAX6133AASA30+ supports input voltages from 3.2V to 12.6V, making it fully compatible with standard 3.3V rails. At VIN = 3.3V, the 200mV max dropout ensures ≥3.1V output headroom, satisfying the 3.000V nominal output with margin. This is explicitly verified in the Input Voltage Range row of the MAX6133_30 electrical characteristics table.
How does the MAX6133AASA30+ compare to the MAX6133AASA25+ in terms of noise performance?
The MAX6133AASA30+ specifies 24µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise, versus 16µVP-P for the 2.5V version (MAX6133AASA25+). This increase reflects inherent scaling of bandgap noise with output voltage and is consistent across the family - higher-output variants show proportionally higher low-frequency noise, as documented in the respective Electrical Characteristics tables for each suffix.
