Product details
Overview
MAX6133AASA41+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision, low-power, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 4.096V output with ±0.04% initial accuracy (max), 3ppm/°C temperature coefficient (max), and 200mV maximum dropout voltage. It operates from 4.2V to 12.6V supply, draws only 45µA quiescent current at +25°C, and supports up to 15mA source current - ideal for precision ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6133AASA41+T datasheet, MAX6133AASA41+T pinout, MAX6133AASA41+T application, or MAX6133AASA41+T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SO-8 package layout, real-world load/line regulation behavior, noise performance (32µVP-P, 0.1Hz–10Hz), and validated alternatives for portable, industrial, and communication systems requiring stable 4.096V references.
Technical Context
The MAX6133AASA41+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 over –40°C to +125°C. Its low 45µA supply current remains stable across input voltage (4.2V–12.6V), minimizing power loss while enabling direct integration into low-quiescent-current signal chains.
It delivers 4.096V output with guaranteed load regulation of ≤0.08mV/mA (–100µA to +15mA) and line regulation of ≤40µV/V, supporting precision applications where supply ripple or load transients must not perturb reference stability. Thermal hysteresis is limited to 120ppm, and long-term stability is 40ppm after 1000 hours in SO package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.04% (max) at +25°C - enables exact 12-bit full-scale alignment in 4.096V-referenced ADCs/DACs |
| Tempco | 3ppm/°C (max), –40°C to +125°C - ensures ≤±0.5 LSB drift over full industrial range for 16-bit systems |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV (max) at 10mA - allows operation from 4.2V supply with 4.096V output, minimizing headroom loss |
| Quiescent Current | 45µA (typ) at +25°C - supports multi-year battery life in handheld meters and sensor nodes |
| Output Noise | 32µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - preserves SNR in high-resolution data acquisition without external filtering |
| Load Regulation | 0.08mV/mA (max), –100µA to +15mA - maintains reference integrity during dynamic DAC loading |
| Line Regulation | 40µV/V (max), 4.2V–12.6V - rejects supply ripple in unregulated or switching-derived rails |
Pinout & Package
MAX6133AASA41+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (SOIC-N) package per JEDEC MS-012, 150-mil body width, with standard gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 7 | No Connection (N.C.) | Internally unconnected - must remain floating or tied to GND; no electrical function |
| 2 | IN | Positive supply input - accepts 4.2V to 12.6V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor near pin |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - common return for IN, OUT, and load; separate from digital ground if possible |
| 5, 8 | I.C. | Internally connected - do not route externally; internal bond wires only |
| 6 | OUT | Precision 4.096V reference output - requires ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability; drives up to 15mA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-tempco SO package | 3ppm/°C max over –40°C to +125°C - meets tight drift requirements for industrial control loops |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 45µA typ at +25°C - enables always-on reference in energy-harvesting and coin-cell systems |
| High output drive capability | 15mA source current - directly powers ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small DACs |
| Stable with wide capacitive loads | 0.1µF to 100µF output capacitance - accommodates layout variations and improves transient response |
| Laser-trimmed initial accuracy | ±0.04% max at +25°C - eliminates system-level calibration for many 14-bit applications |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by MAX6133AASA41+T?
MAX6133AASA41+T supports up to +15mA output source current and –100µA sink current, with load regulation specified at ≤0.08mV/mA over that range. This allows direct driving of ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small DACs without external buffers - confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table for VOUT = 4.096V.
Does MAX6133AASA41+T require an input bypass capacitor?
Yes - a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended between IN and GND, placed as close as possible to the MAX6133AASA41+T pins to ensure optimal line-transient performance. The device remains functional without it when transients are not critical, but input decoupling is required for full specification compliance per Applications Information section.
What is the minimum input voltage needed for MAX6133AASA41+T to regulate at 4.096V?
The minimum input voltage is 4.2V, derived from the dropout voltage specification (200mV max at 10mA) plus nominal output (4.096V). This ensures regulation across temperature and load - explicitly stated in the Electrical Characteristics table for MAX6133_41 under "Input Voltage Range".
Can MAX6133AASA41+T be used with output capacitances larger than 0.1µF?
Yes - MAX6133AASA41+T is stable with output capacitances from 0.1µF up to 100µF, including ceramic, tantalum, and electrolytic types. Larger values improve transient response and reduce overshoot during load steps, as verified in Typical Operating Characteristics (toc13–toc16) and Applications Information.
Is MAX6133AASA41+T qualified for automotive temperature range?
No - MAX6133AASA41+T is rated for –40°C to +125°C operation, which meets industrial grade but not AEC-Q100 automotive qualification. Its tempco, long-term stability, and thermal hysteresis (120ppm) are specified across this range, but no automotive reliability testing or qualification documentation is provided in the datasheet.
