Product details
Overview
MAX6174AASA+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision, low-noise 4.096V voltage reference with integrated temperature sensor output (TEMP), ±0.06% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over –40°C to +125°C, and 7µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise - designed for metrology-grade ADC/DAC biasing in automotive and industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6174AASA+T datasheet, MAX6174AASA+T pinout, MAX6174AASA+T application, or MAX6174AASA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 4.096V output tolerance, TRIM-adjustable range (±3% to ±6%), TEMP output linearity (2.1mV/°C), no-output-capacitor stability, and AEC-Q100-compatibility in automotive-grade SO-8 packaging.
Technical Context
The MAX6174AASA+T uses bandgap-based architecture with proprietary curvature-correction circuitry and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve 3ppm/°C max TCVOUT and ±0.06% initial accuracy. Its TEMP pin delivers a linear 2.1mV/°C analog voltage proportional to die temperature, calibrated at 630mV @ +25°C (300–1130mV over full range).
It supports trimming via external resistive divider on TRIM pin (0–VOUT), enabling ±3% to ±6% output adjustment. The device operates from 6.1V to 40V input, draws 320µA typical supply current, sources up to 30mA, sinks up to 2mA, and remains stable without output bypass capacitor - even with 100µF capacitive load.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5040IDR | 4.096V, 3ppm/°C max, 5.5µVP-P noise, but no TEMP output; SO-8, –40°C to +125°C | Lacks integrated temperature sensing - requires separate thermal sensor for die-temp monitoring | Select when lowest noise is critical and TEMP functionality is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of MAX6174AASA+T?
The MAX6174AASA+T guarantees ±0.06% initial accuracy at +25°C, corresponding to a 4.096V output tolerance of ±2.46mV (4.0935V to 4.0985V). This specification is production-tested and applies across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range per the datasheet's electrical characteristics table for MAX6174A.
Does MAX6174AASA+T require an output bypass capacitor for stability?
No, MAX6174AASA+T does not require an output bypass capacitor for stability. It is explicitly characterized as stable with 0–100µF capacitive loads. This eliminates board space and cost associated with external capacitors while maintaining phase margin across all operating conditions.
How is the TEMP output of MAX6174AASA+T calibrated and what is its usable range?
The TEMP output of MAX6174AASA+T is factory-calibrated to 630mV at +25°C with a slope of 2.1mV/°C. Its specified range is 300mV to 1130mV over –40°C to +125°C. The output is high-impedance and must not be loaded; it provides direct die-temperature measurement without external components.
Can MAX6174AASA+T be used in automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6174AASA+T is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0) and rated for –40°C to +125°C operation. Its robustness against thermal cycling, low hysteresis (120ppm), and short-circuit protection make it suitable for under-hood automotive applications including battery monitoring, ADAS sensor conditioning, and powertrain control modules.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for MAX6174AASA+T?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MAX6174AASA+T is +42V (IN to GND), but the guaranteed operating range is 6.1V to +40V. Operation below 6.1V may result in degraded regulation or dropout; the minimum headroom depends on load current and temperature - see dropout voltage curves in the datasheet.
