Product details
Overview
MAX6145EUR+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 4.5V low-dropout three-terminal voltage reference in SOT23-3 package, featuring ±1% initial accuracy, 200mV dropout at 1mA load, and 79µA typical supply current independent of input voltage. It operates from 4.7V to 12.6V input and delivers stable 4.5V output for high-resolution ADCs and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6145EUR+T datasheet, MAX6145EUR+T pinout, MAX145EUR+T application, or MAX6145EUR+T equivalent, this page provides verified pin mapping, thermal hysteresis (80ppm), load regulation (0.6–1.8 mV/mA), noise performance (30µVP-P @ 0.1–10Hz), and real-world substitution guidance for industrial and portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6145EUR+T uses a bandgap-based reference core with internal trimming for ±1% initial accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. Its 200mV dropout enables operation from 4.7V input in 5V systems while maintaining regulation down to VOUT + 200mV.
Supply current remains stable across input voltage (79µA typ., 130µA max) and temperature, eliminating battery drain variation seen in two-terminal references. Output is stable with capacitive loads up to 10nF without external compensation.
Key Specifications

| Initial Accuracy | ±1% - eliminates need for system-level calibration in mid-precision applications |
| Tempco | 15ppm/°C typ., ≤50ppm/°C max - supports <±0.02% output drift over industrial temperature range |

| Supply Current | 79µA typ., 130µA max - ultra-low quiescent draw extends battery life in portable equipment |
| Line Regulation | 2µV/V typ. - maintains output stability despite input rail fluctuations |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 30µVP-P - minimizes quantization error in 16-bit+ SAR ADC references |
Pinout & Package
MAX6145EUR+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SOT-23 layouts. Pin 1 = IN, Pin 2 = OUT, Pin 3 = GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 4.7V–12.6V; must be ≥ VOUT + 200mV for regulation |
| 2 (OUT) | Precision reference output | Delivers 4.5V ±1% with low noise and high PSRR; drives ≤1mA load |
| 3 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Must be connected to clean system ground; separates reference return from power return paths |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3045AIDBZR | 4.5V fixed output, 50ppm/°C max tempco, 50µA IQ, SOT23-3 - lower quiescent current but wider tempco tolerance | Preferred where ultra-low power dominates over thermal stability (e.g., energy-harvesting sensors) | Select REF3045AIDBZR only if <50µA supply current is mandatory and thermal drift budget allows 50ppm/°C worst-case |
| ADR3445ARJZ-R7 | 4.5V output, 10ppm/°C max tempco, 120µA IQ, SOT23-5 - tighter tempco but higher current and 5-pin package | Suitable when <10ppm/°C drift is required and board space allows 5-pin layout | Choose ADR3445ARJZ-R7 only if system-level drift specification demands <10ppm/°C and 120µA IQ is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6145EUR+T, REF3045AIDBZR trades 29µA lower IQ for looser thermal stability, while ADR3445ARJZ-R7 improves tempco by 4× at the cost of 41µA higher IQ and incompatible pinout - making MAX6145EUR+T the optimal balance for 4.5V industrial references needing SOT23-3 compatibility, 200mV dropout, and proven 50ppm/°C guarantee.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed temperature coefficient specification for MAX6145EUR+T over its full operating range?
The MAX6145EUR+T guarantees a maximum temperature coefficient of 50ppm/°C over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, with typical performance at 15ppm/°C. This specification is validated across production lots and ensures predictable output drift in industrial environments where ambient temperature varies widely. The MAX6145EUR+T achieves this via laser-trimmed bandgap circuitry and on-chip thermal compensation networks.
Can MAX6145EUR+T operate from a 4.2V lithium-ion battery without dropout?
No - MAX6145EUR+T requires a minimum input voltage of 4.7V for guaranteed regulation at 4.5V output, due to its 200mV dropout specification. At 4.2V input, the device enters dropout and output voltage will fall linearly with input. For single-cell Li-ion applications, consider the MAX6141EUR+T (4.096V output, 4.3V min input) or a buck-boost regulator feeding a higher-input reference.
Does MAX6145EUR+T require an output capacitor for stability?
No - MAX6145EUR+T is internally compensated and stable with capacitive loads from 0nF to 10nF. An output capacitor is unnecessary and may degrade transient response. If used for charge reservoir purposes (e.g., decoupling a DAC input), total output capacitance must not exceed 10nF to maintain specified settling time and avoid peaking.
What is the maximum load current that MAX6145EUR+T can source while maintaining output accuracy?
MAX6145EUR+T is specified to maintain output accuracy up to 1mA source current, with load regulation of 0.6–1.8 mV/mA. Beyond 1mA, output voltage deviation increases nonlinearly and is not guaranteed. For higher-current applications, use an op-amp buffer stage or select a reference with integrated buffer (e.g., MAX6070 series).
How does the supply current of MAX6145EUR+T behave across input voltage and temperature?
MAX6145EUR+T exhibits supply current independence: typical IQ is 79µA at +25°C and remains within 75–130µA across 4.7–12.6V input and –40°C to +85°C. This behavior is confirmed by design - unlike two-terminal references, its three-terminal architecture isolates supply current from VIN variations, enabling accurate battery-life modeling in portable systems.
