Product details
Overview
The MAX6150ESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5.0V, low-dropout, micropower, three-terminal voltage reference in an 8-pin SO package. It delivers ±1% initial accuracy, 15ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient (≤50ppm/°C max), and 200mV dropout-enabling stable operation in 5V systems with input as low as 5.2V. Its 80µA typical supply current and stability with up to 10nF capacitive loads make it suitable for battery-powered data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6150ESA+ datasheet, MAX6150ESA+ pinout, MAX150ESA+ application, or MAX6150ESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage tolerance over temperature, load regulation (0.65–2 mV/mA sourcing), line regulation (1–50 µV/V), thermal hysteresis (80 ppm), and compatibility with 3V/5V supply rails and low-noise ADC/DAC biasing.
Technical Context
This device operates as a shunt-independent, series-connected bandgap-based voltage reference with internal trimming for factory-set 5.0V output. Its architecture eliminates external resistor dependency and maintains supply current virtually independent of input voltage (75–110 µA over VIN = 5.2V to 12.6V), reducing system power variability.
It features a fixed-output topology (non-adjustable), uses no ADJ pin, and supports continuous short-circuit protection to IN or GND. The SO-8 package includes four NC pins (pins 2, 3, 5, 6) and is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation with 471mW maximum power dissipation at TA = +70°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000 V ±1% at +25°C; 4.900–5.100 V over –40°C to +85°C - ensures stable reference for 12-bit ADCs without calibration. |
| Tempco | 15 ppm/°C typical, ≤50 ppm/°C max - limits drift to <±0.25% over full temperature range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV - allows operation with VIN as low as 5.2V while maintaining regulation. |
| Supply Current | 80 µA typical, ≤145 µA over temperature - enables multi-year battery life in 10µA-sleep systems. |
| Load Regulation | 0.65–2 mV/mA (sourcing); 1.9–20 mV/mA (sinking) - defines output shift under DAC or op-amp loading. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 35 µVP-P - low enough for 16-bit SAR ADC reference without external filtering. |
| PSRR | ≥80 dB at 100 Hz - rejects ripple from noisy switching supplies feeding the reference input. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6150ESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with exposed pad (RoHS-compliant, + suffix). Pin 1 is IN, pin 4 is GND, pin 8 is OUT; pins 2, 3, 5, and 6 are No Connection (N.C.) and must remain unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN | Input voltage supply rail (5.2V to 12.6V); requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass for optimal transient rejection. |
| 2 | N.C. | No internal connection; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice-no functional impact. |
| 3 | N.C. | No internal connection; electrically isolated; no routing or soldering required. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; must connect to clean, low-impedance system ground plane near device. |
| 5 | N.C. | No internal connection; unused pin; avoid routing traces or vias beneath it. |
| 6 | N.C. | No internal connection; no electrical function; PCB footprint may omit copper for thermal relief. |
| 7 | N.C. | No internal connection; not bonded; serves only mechanical alignment in SO-8 mold. |
| 8 | OUT | Stable 5.0V reference output; drives capacitive loads ≤10nF; connects directly to ADC REF+ or DAC VREF. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low 200mV dropout | Enables use in 5V systems where input margin is constrained-no need for ≥6V supply rails. |
| 75–145 µA supply current | Independent of input voltage variation, simplifying battery-life estimation and eliminating dynamic current spikes. |
| Stable with 0–10nF capacitive loads | Eliminates need for output capacitor; avoids phase-margin degradation and startup oscillation risks. |
| ±1% initial accuracy | Reduces or eliminates system-level calibration steps for mid-resolution data converters (12–14 bit). |
| Guaranteed ≤50ppm/°C tempco | Meets industrial-grade drift requirements without external compensation circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3450ARZ | 5.0V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 4.5µA supply current, SOT23-5 package | Ultra-low power and higher accuracy; requires different pinout and external decoupling; not drop-in compatible | Select ADR3450ARZ when sub-0.1% accuracy and <10µA IQ are mandatory; MAX6150ESA+ preferred for cost-sensitive 5V systems with moderate accuracy needs. |
| REF5050AIDR | 5.0V output, ±0.05% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 950µA supply current, SO-8 package | Higher precision and lower drift but 12× higher supply current; same SO-8 footprint but different pin mapping (GND on pin 4, OUT on pin 6) | Choose REF5050AIDR for metrology-grade applications requiring <0.05% error; MAX6150ESA+ remains optimal for general-purpose 5V reference where power and cost are critical. |
Compared with ADR3450ARZ and REF5050AIDR, the MAX6150ESA+ trades ultra-low drift and micro-power for significantly lower unit cost, proven robustness in industrial temperature ranges, and direct compatibility with legacy SO-8 layouts-making it ideal for high-volume 5V embedded systems where ±1% accuracy suffices.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed temperature coefficient specification for MAX6150ESA+?
The MAX6150ESA+ has a guaranteed maximum temperature coefficient of 50ppm/°C over the full operating range of –40°C to +85°C. Typical performance is 15ppm/°C. This spec ensures output voltage drift remains within ±0.25% across temperature, supporting 12-bit system accuracy without calibration. The MAX6150ESA+ datasheet confirms this value in the Electrical Characteristics table under TCVOUT parameter.
Can MAX6150ESA+ operate from a 5.0V supply rail?
No-MAX6150ESA+ requires a minimum input voltage of 5.2V due to its 200mV dropout specification. At 5.0V input, the device cannot maintain regulated 5.0V output. Operation is guaranteed only for VIN ≥ 5.2V (up to 12.6V). This requirement is explicitly stated in the Electrical Characteristics table under Supply Voltage (VIN) conditions for MAX6150.
Does MAX6150ESA+ require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6150ESA+ is internally compensated and stable with capacitive loads from 0nF to 10nF. An output capacitor is not required and may degrade transient response. If used for charge reservoir purposes (e.g., buffering a DAC input), total capacitance must not exceed 10nF to ensure optimal settling time. This behavior is confirmed in the Applications Information section under "Output Bypassing".
What are the absolute maximum ratings for MAX6150ESA+ input voltage?
The absolute maximum input voltage rating for MAX6150ESA+ is +13.5V with respect to GND. Exceeding this voltage-even momentarily-may cause permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 5.2V to 12.6V. This limit is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 2 of the MAX6150ESA+ datasheet.
How does supply current vary with input voltage in MAX6150ESA+?
The MAX6150ESA+ exhibits near-constant supply current across its input voltage range: 75–110 µA at +25°C and up to 145 µA over –40°C to +85°C, regardless of VIN (5.2V to 12.6V). Change in supply current vs. input voltage (∆IQ/∆VIN) is only 1.7–6 µA/V-confirming minimal dependence. This behavior is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table and illustrated in Figure 1 (Supply Current vs. Input Voltage).
