Product details
Overview
MAX6173BASA+TG002 from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision, low-noise 2.5V voltage reference with integrated temperature sensor output (TEMP), ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and operation over -40°C to +125°C. It sources up to 30mA, draws only 320μA typical supply current, and requires no output bypass capacitor-enabling stable performance with capacitive loads up to 100μF in space-constrained high-resolution data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6173BASA+TG002 datasheet, MAX6173BASA+TG002 pinout, MAX6173BASA+TG002 application, or MAX6173BASA+TG002 equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 2.5V output with TRIM input for ±6% adjustment, linear TEMP output (630mV at +25°C, 2.1mV/°C), automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification (per family), and stability without external compensation.
Technical Context
The MAX6173BASA+TG002 uses bandgap-based architecture with proprietary curvature-correction circuitry and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve 3ppm/°C max TCVOUT across -40°C to +125°C. Its TEMP terminal provides a ratiometric analog voltage proportional to die temperature (2.1mV/°C), calibrated at 630mV ±155mV over full temperature range.
It features a dedicated TRIM input enabling fine output adjustment via external resistive divider, supports sourcing up to 30mA while sinking 2mA, and maintains stability under load transients without requiring output capacitance-unlike conventional references dependent on external COUT for phase margin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5V nominal, ±0.1% initial accuracy (2.4975V to 2.5025V at +25°C) - ensures ≤1 LSB error in 12-bit ADCs over full temp range. |
| Tempco (TCVOUT) | 3ppm/°C max (−40°C to +125°C) - enables <±0.5mV drift over automotive temperature range. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 3.8µVP-P typical - critical for 16-bit+ SAR and delta-sigma ADCs where low-frequency noise dominates INL. |
| Supply Current | 320μA typical, 600μA max (−40°C to +125°C) - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and sensor nodes. |
| TEMP Output | 630mV at +25°C, 2.1mV/°C slope - provides direct die-temperature sensing without external signal conditioning. |
| Load Current | Sources 30mA / sinks 2mA - drives ADC reference inputs, DAC buffers, and comparator thresholds directly. |
| Input Voltage Range | +4.5V to +40V - accommodates wide-input industrial supplies and unregulated battery rails. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6173BASA+TG002 is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package (package code S8+4, outline 21-0041), rated for −40°C to +125°C operation and qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 for automotive use.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | I.C. | Internally connected; must remain unconnected externally - floating pins prevent parasitic coupling or ESD path misrouting. |
| 2 | IN | Positive power-supply input (4.5V to 40V); requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling for optimal line-transient rejection. |
| 3 | TEMP | Temperature-proportional analog output (630mV @ +25°C, 2.1mV/°C); high-impedance node - buffer required if loaded >10kΩ. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be star-connected to minimize ground bounce in mixed-signal systems. |
| 5 | TRIM | Voltage-adjust input; accepts 0V to VOUT; enables ±6% output tuning via external resistor divider - adds <1µA bias current to IIN. |
| 6 | OUT | Precision 2.5V reference output; capable of sourcing 30mA; stable with 0–100µF capacitive loads - eliminates need for output capacitor in most layouts. |
| 7 | N.C. | No internal connection; left unconnected - avoids unintended parasitic paths or thermal stress on unused bond wires. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-output-capacitor stability | Stable with 0–100µF capacitive loads - saves PCB area and eliminates capacitor aging/reliability concerns in long-life systems. |
| Integrated temperature sensor | Linear TEMP output (2.1mV/°C) referenced to die temperature - enables on-chip thermal monitoring without external ICs or calibration. |
| Trim-adjustable output | ±6% output voltage tuning via external resistive divider on TRIM pin - allows field calibration and system-level gain trimming. |
| Short-circuit protection | 60mA current limit when OUT shorted to GND; 3mA limit when OUT shorted to IN - prevents damage during board-level fault conditions. |
| Automotive temperature range | Guaranteed operation from −40°C to +125°C - meets requirements for engine control, ADAS, and under-hood electronics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5025AIDR | 2.5V, 3ppm/°C max, 0.05% initial accuracy, 3.6µVP-P noise, SO-8 package, but no TEMP output or TRIM input. | Lacks integrated temperature sensing and output adjust capability - requires separate IC for thermal monitoring or calibration. | Select when highest initial accuracy and lowest noise are prioritized over system integration and field trim. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of the MAX6173BASA+TG002?
The MAX6173BASA+TG002 guarantees ±0.1% initial accuracy (2.4975V to 2.5025V at +25°C, no load). This specification is tested and binned during production, ensuring compliance across the full −40°C to +125°C operating range without derating.
Does the MAX6173BASA+TG002 require an output bypass capacitor for stability?
No - the MAX6173BASA+TG002 is internally compensated and remains stable with 0–100µF capacitive loads. Unlike many references, it does not require an output capacitor, simplifying layout and improving reliability in space-constrained or high-vibration environments.
How is the TEMP output of the MAX6173BASA+TG002 calibrated and what is its usable range?
The TEMP output of the MAX6173BASA+TG002 is factory-calibrated to 630mV ±155mV at +25°C with a slope of 2.1mV/°C. It operates linearly from 300mV (−40°C) to 1130mV (+125°C), enabling direct die-temperature measurement without external amplification or lookup tables.
Can the MAX6173BASA+TG002 be used in automotive applications?
Yes - the MAX6173BASA+TG002 belongs to the MAX6173–MAX6177 family, which includes AEC-Q100 qualified variants (e.g., MAX6174BASA/V+ and MAX6175BASA/V+). While MAX6173BASA+TG002 itself is not individually AEC-Q100 certified, its SO-8 package, −40°C to +125°C rating, and automotive-grade design make it widely deployed in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems.
What is the maximum load current the MAX6173BASA+TG002 can source or sink?
The MAX6173BASA+TG002 can source up to 30mA and sink up to 2mA while maintaining output regulation within specified accuracy. Load regulation is characterized at ±10ppm/mA (sourcing) and ±900ppm/mA (sinking) over −40°C to +125°C - supporting direct drive of ADC reference inputs and op-amp buffers.
