Product details
Overview
The MAX6133AASA50+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision series-mode voltage reference delivering 5.000V output with ±0.04% initial accuracy (max), 3ppm/°C temperature coefficient (max, -40°C to +125°C), and 200mV maximum dropout voltage - enabling stable operation in low-voltage, battery-powered instrumentation and high-resolution data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6133AASA50+ datasheet, MAX6133AASA50+ pinout, MAX6133AASA50+ application, or MAX6133AASA50+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its SO-8 package, 40µA quiescent current, 15mA source capability, 40µV/V line regulation, and compatibility with 0.1µF–100µF output capacitors for transient-stable precision biasing.
Technical Context
The MAX6133AASA50+ employs bandgap-based series architecture with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors and post-package trimming to achieve 0.04% initial accuracy and ultra-low thermal drift. Its internal design eliminates external feedback components and supports direct connection to ADC/DAC reference inputs without buffering.
Operating across 5.2V–12.6V input range, it maintains 0.1% output stability over load currents from –100µA to +15mA and exhibits 40µV/V line regulation and 0.01–0.10mV/mA load regulation - confirming tight control of output voltage under dynamic supply and load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±0.04% at +25°C - ensures ≤2mV absolute error for 14-bit DAC reference alignment. |
| Tempco | 3ppm/°C max (–40°C to +125°C) - limits drift to ≤1.5mV over full industrial temperature range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV max at 10mA - enables operation from 5.2V supply with ≥300mV headroom for noise margin. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA typical, ≤85µA over temperature - supports multi-year battery life in portable meters. |
| Line Regulation | 40µV/V max (5.2V–12.6V) - contributes <0.3mV error across full input range at 5V output. |
| Load Regulation | 0.01–0.10mV/mA - guarantees ≤1.5mV shift from no-load to 15mA sink, critical for sensor front-ends. |
| Output Noise | 40µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz), 26µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) - preserves SNR in 16-bit+ measurement systems. |
| Supply Range | 5.2V to 12.6V - compatible with standard 5V/12V rails and regulated intermediate supplies. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6133AASA50+ uses an 8-pin SO (SOICN) package per JEDEC MS-012, 150-mil body width, with 1.27mm pitch. Pin 1 is top-left corner (notch/dot marked), and pins 5 & 8 are internally connected (do not connect externally).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 7 | No Connection (N.C.) | Unbonded pads - leave floating or tie to GND for mechanical stability; no electrical function. |
| 2 | IN | Positive supply input - requires ≥5.2V; accepts up to 13V absolute max; decouple with 0.1µF ceramic. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - star-point connection recommended to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5, 8 | I.C. (Internally Connected) | Internal bond wires - must remain unconnected; external connection risks damage or parametric shift. |
| 6 | OUT | 5.000V precision reference output - requires ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND; stable up to 100µF. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-Tempco Architecture | 3ppm/°C max over –40°C to +125°C - achieved via bandgap core + laser-trimmed thin-film resistors and post-package trimming. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 40µA typical, independent of input voltage - minimizes standby power in always-on portable instruments. |
| High Load Drive Capability | 15mA source current - eliminates need for external buffer in most 12–16-bit DAC/ADC reference applications. |
| Wide Input Voltage Range | 5.2V to 12.6V - accommodates unregulated 6V/9V/12V supplies while maintaining 5V reference accuracy. |
| Low-Noise Output | 40µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - enables sub-LSB stability in high-resolution weigh scales and precision RTD interfaces. |
| Thermal Hysteresis Control | 120ppm max - mitigated by matched die stress design, ensuring repeatable calibration after thermal cycling. |
Applications
| Portable Precision DMMs | Industrial 16-Bit Data Loggers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR4550BRZ | 5.0V, 3ppm/°C, 95µA IQ, SO-8 - higher quiescent current, superior long-term stability (15ppm/1000h vs. 40ppm). | Preferred in lab-grade equipment where aging matters more than battery life; less suitable for portable devices. | Select ADR4550BRZ when long-term calibration hold is prioritized over ultra-low power. |
| REF5050AIDR | 5.0V, 3ppm/°C, 1.1mA IQ, SO-8 - 27× higher supply current, 50mA drive, lower noise (12µVRMS). | Used in high-speed DAQ systems needing fast settling and heavy loading; incompatible with energy-constrained designs. | Choose REF5050AIDR only when driving multiple ADCs or requiring <10µs turn-on time. |
Compared with ADR4550BRZ and REF5050AIDR, the MAX6133AASA50+ uniquely balances ultra-low 40µA quiescent current, 15mA drive, and 3ppm/°C tempco in SO-8 - making it optimal for portable, battery-powered precision instruments where power, size, and stability are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX6133AASA50+?
The MAX6133AASA50+ supports up to +15mA output source current and –100µA sink current, with guaranteed load regulation of 0.01–0.10mV/mA. This allows direct driving of ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small logic loads without external buffering - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for VOUT = 5.000V operation.
Does the MAX6133AASA50+ require an input capacitor?
The MAX6133AASA50+ does not require an input capacitor for stability, but a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the IN pin significantly improves line-transient response. The datasheet explicitly states "bypassing is optional" and recommends this capacitor only when supply transients are present - making it design-optional rather than mandatory.
Can the MAX6133AASA50+ be used with output capacitances larger than 0.1µF?
Yes - the MAX6133AASA50+ is stable with output capacitances from 0.1µF up to 100µF, including ceramic, tantalum, and electrolytic types. Larger capacitors (e.g., 10µF) reduce overshoot during load transients, as demonstrated in Typical Operating Characteristics figures toc13–toc16. This wide capacitive tolerance simplifies filtering in noisy industrial environments.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for the MAX6133AASA50+?
The MAX6133AASA50+ exhibits 120ppm maximum thermal hysteresis - defined as the change in output voltage at +25°C before and after cycling from –40°C to +125°C. This value is identical for both SO and µMAX packages and is measured per Note 3 in the datasheet, reflecting package-induced stress on the bandgap core.
Is the MAX6133AASA50+ pin-compatible with other MAX6133 variants?
Yes - all MAX6133 variants (including MAX6133AASA25+, MAX6133AASA30+, MAX6133AASA41+, and MAX6133AASA50+) share identical SO-8 pinout and package dimensions. Only the output voltage and grade-specific parameters (tempco, accuracy) differ; no PCB layout change is needed when swapping within the same package type.
