Product details
Overview
MAX6174AASA+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision, low-noise 4.096V voltage reference with integrated temperature sensor output, ±0.06% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 7µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise-designed for 16-bit ADC/DAC calibration in automotive and industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6174AASA+ datasheet, MAX6174AASA+ pinout, MAX6174AASA+ application, or MAX6174AASA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal transducer behavior, trim interface design guidance, and AEC-Q100-compliant operating envelope details critical for precision analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The MAX6174AASA+ employs bandgap-based curvature-corrected topology with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve ultra-low drift across –40°C to +125°C. Its TEMP pin provides a linear 2.1mV/°C output referenced to die temperature, enabling on-chip thermal monitoring without external sensors.
It features a dedicated TRIM terminal supporting ±6% output adjustment via external resistive divider, while maintaining stability with capacitive loads up to 100µF-eliminating mandatory output bypassing and simplifying PCB layout in space-constrained designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.06% (±2.46mV) at +25°C - ensures ≤1 LSB error in 16-bit systems over full temp range |
| Tempco (TCVOUT) | ≤3ppm/°C (–40°C to +125°C) - guarantees <±0.5mV total drift across automotive temperature range |
| Noise (0.1Hz–10Hz) | 7µVP-P - supports high-resolution measurement without added filtering overhead |
| Supply Current | 320µA (typ), 500µA (max at +25°C) - enables low-power battery operation and reduces self-heating effects |
| TEMP Output | 475–785mV at +25°C, 2.1mV/°C slope - provides calibrated die temperature sensing with ±1.5°C accuracy |
| Load Drive | Sources 30mA / sinks 2mA - sufficient to drive ADC reference inputs and small buffer stages directly |
| Input Voltage Range | +6.1V to +40V - accommodates wide-input industrial supplies and unregulated battery rails |
Pinout & Package
MAX6174AASA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package (package code S8+4, outline 21-0041), RoHS-compliant, rated for –40°C to +125°C operation.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | I.C. | Internally connected - must remain unconnected on PCB; no external routing allowed |
| 2 | IN | Positive supply input - accepts 6.1V–40V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling |
| 3 | TEMP | Digital-temperature transducer output - provides 2.1mV/°C analog voltage proportional to die temperature |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be low-impedance star point shared with ADC reference ground |
| 5 | TRIM | Voltage-adjust input - connects to center tap of resistor divider between OUT and GND for ±6% fine tuning |
| 6 | OUT | Precision 4.096V reference output - stable with 0–100µF capacitive load; no bypass capacitor required |
| 7 | N.C. | No internal connection - left floating; no PCB trace or pad needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated temperature sensor | Linear 2.1mV/°C TEMP output enables real-time die-temperature compensation in calibration algorithms |
| Trimmable reference | ±6% output adjustment via external resistive divider on TRIM pin - eliminates need for custom factory-trimmed variants |
| No output capacitor required | Guaranteed stability with 0–100µF load capacitance - saves board area and avoids ESR-related instability risks |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Rev H - supports under-hood and ADAS module deployment |
| Short-circuit protection | 60mA current limit when OUT shorted to GND; 3mA limit when shorted to IN - prevents latch-up and damage during fault conditions |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of the MAX6174AASA+?
The MAX6174AASA+ guarantees ±0.06% initial accuracy (±2.46mV at 4.096V) at +25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for the 'A' grade variant. This tolerance is laser-trimmed at wafer test and remains valid across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range without additional calibration.
Does the MAX6174AASA+ require an output bypass capacitor for stability?
No-the MAX6174AASA+ is internally compensated and stable with 0–100µF capacitive loads. Unlike many references, it does not require an output bypass capacitor, reducing bill-of-materials count and PCB area. Stability is maintained even with large ceramic or tantalum output caps used for transient suppression.
How is the TEMP output calibrated, and what is its accuracy?
The TEMP output of the MAX6174AASA+ provides 2.1mV/°C with a nominal 630mV at +25°C (range: 475–785mV). Accuracy is ±1.5°C over –40°C to +125°C after accounting for self-heating. The output is proportional to die temperature-not ambient-so thermal coupling to the PCB must be considered in system-level calibration.
Can the MAX6174AASA+ be used in automotive applications?
Yes-the MAX6174AASA+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0, –40°C to +125°C) and designed for automotive use. It meets stringent reliability, ESD, and thermal cycling requirements, making it suitable for engine control units, ADAS sensor interfaces, and infotainment power management where precision reference stability is critical.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the MAX6174AASA+?
The MAX6174AASA+ supports an input voltage range of +6.1V to +40V. Absolute maximum rating is +42V on the IN pin relative to GND. Operation above +40V is not guaranteed and may degrade long-term reliability or initial accuracy specifications.
