Product details
Overview
MAX6190AESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, micropower, low-dropout series-mode bandgap voltage reference delivering 1.250V output with ±2mV initial accuracy, 4ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35µA max quiescent supply current. It operates from 2.5V to 12.6V input, supports ±500µA load current, and is used in high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing, portable instrumentation, and industrial process control systems requiring stable low-power references.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6190AESA+T datasheet, MAX6190AESA+T pinout, MAX6190AESA+T application, or MAX6190AESA+T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated SO-8 pin mapping, application-specific implementation guidance, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and parametric differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6190AESA+T uses a proprietary curvature-correction circuit and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve <5ppm/°C temperature coefficient and ±2mV initial accuracy over -40°C to +85°C. Its series-mode architecture enables bidirectional load capability (±500µA) with only 100mV dropout at 500µA sink/source.
Internally compensated for stability with capacitive loads up to 2.2nF, it achieves 30µs turn-on settling time to 0.1% and exhibits 0.12µV/µA load regulation and 8µV/V line regulation - critical for precision data conversion and battery-powered measurement systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.250V ±2mV (±0.16% tolerance) - sets absolute accuracy floor for 12–16-bit ADC/DAC reference rails |
| Temp Coefficient | 4ppm/°C max - contributes ≤0.375mV drift over full -40°C to +85°C range, enabling stable operation without calibration |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA max - enables >1-year battery life in 10µA-average-power handheld instruments |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 500µA load - allows operation from 1.35V supply in ultra-low-voltage systems |
| Load Regulation | 0.12µV/µA - ensures <60µV output shift across full ±500µA load swing, preserving LSB integrity |
| Line Regulation | 8µV/V - limits output variation to <100µV over 2.5V–12.6V input range, simplifying supply filtering |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 65µVRMS - sub-LSB noise for 16-bit 1V-range converters sampling at ≤100SPS |
Pinout & Package
MAX6190AESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 | N.C. | No internal connection - must remain unconnected; floating or tied to GND has no effect |
| 2 | IN | Positive supply input - accepts 2.5V to 12.6V; supplies internal bandgap core and output stage |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - requires low-impedance connection to system AGND plane |
| 6 | OUT | Precision 1.250V reference output - capable of sourcing/sinking ±500µA with <100mV dropout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Initial accuracy | ±2mV (±0.16%) - eliminates need for post-assembly trimming in production test flow |
| Temperature coefficient | 4ppm/°C max - meets 16-bit INL stability requirements over industrial temperature range |
| Capacitive-load stability | 0–2.2nF - enables direct connection to ADC reference inputs without external compensation |
| Turn-on settling time | 30µs to 0.1% - supports fast wake-up in duty-cycled sensor nodes and portable meters |
| Bidirectional load drive | ±500µA - allows use as both high-side and low-side reference in ratiometric bridge circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3412ARJZ-R7 | 1.2V output, ±1.5mV initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, 125µA supply current | Higher power consumption limits use in multi-year battery applications; tighter tempco suits metrology-grade designs | Select when ultimate temperature stability outweighs battery life; verify 1.2V vs. 1.25V system compatibility |
| REF3012AIDBZR | 1.2V output, ±2mV initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C tempco, 50µA supply current | Higher tempco degrades accuracy above 40°C; higher quiescent current reduces battery runtime | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where moderate tempco is acceptable and 1.2V output aligns with existing layout |
Compared with ADR3412ARJZ-R7 and REF3012AIDBZR, the MAX6190AESA+T delivers superior thermal stability (4ppm/°C vs. 3ppm/°C and 50ppm/°C) and lowest power (35µA vs. 125µA and 50µA), making it optimal for long-life portable instrumentation where 1.250V output is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX6190AESA+T?
The MAX6190AESA+T can source and sink up to ±500µA while maintaining specified accuracy and dropout performance. At 500µA load, dropout voltage is guaranteed ≤100mV. Exceeding this current may cause output deviation beyond datasheet limits or thermal stress under high ambient temperatures.
Does the MAX6190AESA+T require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6190AESA+T is internally compensated and stable with capacitive loads from 0 to 2.2nF. An external capacitor is optional and recommended only in applications with fast load or supply transients to reduce overshoot - it is not required for basic stability or oscillation prevention.
What is the supply voltage range for the MAX6190AESA+T?
The MAX6190AESA+T operates from 2.5V to 12.6V input. Minimum supply is defined by dropout: for 500µA load, VIN must be ≥1.35V (1.250V + 0.100V). The device remains functional down to 2.5V regardless of load, ensuring robust start-up in brown-out conditions.
How does the MAX6190AESA+T compare to the MAX6190BESA+T in accuracy?
The MAX6190AESA+T guarantees ±2mV initial accuracy (±0.16%), while the MAX6190BESA+T is specified at ±4mV (±0.32%). Both share identical 4ppm/°C max temperature coefficient and 35µA max supply current. Select MAX6190AESA+T when tighter initial tolerance is required for reduced calibration overhead.
Is the MAX6190AESA+T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the "+T" suffix in MAX6190AESA+T denotes a lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant 8-pin SO package. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) and is qualified for reflow soldering at 260°C peak temperature.
