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, 15ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient, and 200mV dropout at 1mA load-optimized for 3V/5V battery-powered instrumentation and data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6145EUR-T datasheet, MAX6145EUR-T pinout, MAX145EUR-T application, or MAX6145EUR-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal stability data, supply-current independence from input voltage, and real-world design guidance for high-accuracy analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The MAX6145EUR-T uses a bandgap-based reference core with internal trimming to achieve ±1% output tolerance at +25°C and guaranteed ≤50ppm/°C drift over –40°C to +85°C. Its 3-pin architecture integrates IN, OUT, and GND terminals without external resistors or adjustment pins-unlike the 4-pin MAX6160.
It operates from 4.7V to 12.6V input, delivers stable 4.5V output up to 1mA sourcing/sinking, and maintains 79–105µA quiescent current independent of VIN variation-enabling predictable battery life in portable systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.500V ±0.045V at +25°C; ±0.090V over –40°C to +85°C - ensures ADC/DAC reference stability across industrial temperature range |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1% - eliminates need for system-level calibration in mid-precision measurement applications |
| Tempco | 15ppm/°C typical, ≤50ppm/°C max - contributes <0.225mV drift over 15°C ambient shift |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV at 1mA - supports operation from 4.7V supply in 5V systems with margin |
| Supply Current | 79–105µA at +25°C; ≤130µA over full temp range - enables multi-year battery life in µA-budget devices |
| Line Regulation | 2µV/V typical - rejects supply ripple better than 100dB up to low frequencies |
| Load Regulation | 0.6–1.8mV/mA sourcing; 1.75–18mV/mA sinking - defines worst-case error when driving DAC reference inputs |
Pinout & Package
MAX6145EUR-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AB), with 1.3mm × 0.8mm footprint and 1.0mm height - compatible with standard high-density PCB assembly processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply Terminal | Accepts 4.7V to 12.6V DC; requires ≥0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for optimal line-transient rejection |
| 2 (OUT) | Precision Reference Output | Delivers regulated 4.5V; stable with 0–10nF capacitive loads - no output capacitor required unless charge reservoir needed |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Must be connected to clean, low-impedance system ground plane; separates reference return from digital or power ground paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout | 200mV at 1mA enables use in 5V systems with tight headroom - avoids need for boost regulators or higher-supply rails |
| Supply-Current Stability | 79–105µA over VIN = 4.7V–12.6V - eliminates dynamic current draw uncertainty in battery SOC estimation |
| Capacitive Load Immunity | Stable with 0–10nF output capacitance - simplifies layout by removing mandatory compensation networks |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 80ppm maximum - limits repeatability error after thermal cycling in field-deployed equipment |
| PSRR Performance | >60dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching regulator noise coupling into precision analog subsystems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF43GM | 4.096V fixed output, 10ppm/°C max tempco, 125µA IQ, SO-8 only | Higher precision but higher supply current and larger package - unsuitable for space-constrained SOT23 designs | Select REF43GM only if 4.096V matches ADC full-scale and board area permits SO-8 |
| ADR3445 | 4.5V output, 10ppm/°C max tempco, 120µA IQ, SOT23-3 package, ±0.1% initial accuracy | Superior accuracy and tempco, but 50% higher quiescent current - trades battery life for metrology-grade performance | Choose ADR3445 when system-level calibration is impractical and long-term drift budget is <50ppm |
Compared with REF43GM and ADR3445, the MAX6145EUR-T offers the lowest supply current in SOT23-3 at 4.5V, making it optimal for ultra-low-power portable instrumentation where battery runtime outweighs marginal accuracy gains.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the MAX6145EUR-T?
The MAX6145EUR-T requires a minimum input voltage of 4.7V to maintain regulation at its nominal 4.5V output, due to its 200mV dropout specification. Operation below 4.7V risks output collapse or increased load regulation error. This headroom enables reliable function in 5V systems with supply droop or ripple, and is validated across –40°C to +85°C per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
Does the MAX6145EUR-T require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6145EUR-T does not require an output capacitor. It is internally compensated and remains stable with capacitive loads from 0nF to 10nF. An output capacitor is only recommended if the application needs local charge reservoir capability-for example, to buffer transient current demands from a DAC reference input-provided total capacitance stays ≤10nF to preserve settling time performance.
How does the supply current of the MAX6145EUR-T vary with temperature?
The MAX6145EUR-T draws 79–105µA at +25°C and up to 130µA over the full –40°C to +85°C range. Its supply current exhibits minimal sensitivity to input voltage changes (≤6µA/V), making it highly predictable for battery-life modeling. This behavior is confirmed in Figure MAX6125 toc02 and the Electrical Characteristics table under "Quiescent Supply Current".
Can the MAX6145EUR-T be used in place of the MAX6141EUR-T or MAX6150EUR-T?
The MAX6145EUR-T is not a direct replacement for MAX6141EUR-T (4.096V) or MAX6150EUR-T (5.0V), as each has a different preset output voltage. Swapping them would shift ADC full-scale range or bias points, requiring firmware and calibration updates. However, all three share identical pinout, package, dropout, and supply-current characteristics-so PCB layout is interchangeable if voltage requirements align.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for the MAX6145EUR-T?
The MAX6145EUR-T has a thermal hysteresis of 80ppm maximum, as specified in the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Typical Operating Characteristics sections. This value represents the residual output voltage shift after cycling between –40°C and +85°C twice, and is critical for applications requiring repeatable measurements after field temperature excursions-such as portable calibration tools or outdoor environmental monitors.
