Product details
Overview
MAX6190BESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision micropower low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 1.250V output with ±2mV initial accuracy, 5ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35µA max quiescent current-designed for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered handheld instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6190BESA+ datasheet, MAX6190BESA+ pinout, MAX6190BESA+ application, or MAX6190BESA+ equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SO-8 package details, load-regulation behavior at ±500µA, dropout performance (100mV @ 500µA), and real-world settling time (30µs to 0.1%)-all critical for low-power precision analog system design.
Technical Context
The MAX6190BESA+ employs a curvature-corrected bandgap core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve <5ppm/°C temperature stability and ±2mV initial tolerance over –40°C to +85°C. Its series-mode architecture enables bidirectional output current (±500µA) without external compensation.
Internally compensated for stability with capacitive loads up to 2.2nF, it exhibits 0.12µV/µA load regulation and 8µV/V line regulation-key for maintaining reference integrity across varying supply and load conditions in portable instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.250V ±2mV (±0.16% initial error at +25°C) |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤5ppm/°C (max drift over –40°C to +85°C) |
| Quiescent Current | ≤35µA (enables >1-year battery life in µA-scale systems) |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 500µA load (supports operation down to VIN = 1.35V) |
| Load Regulation | 0.12µV/µA (output shift ≤60µV over full ±500µA sink/source range) |
| Line Regulation | 8µV/V (output shift ≤100µV over 2.5V–12.6V input range) |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with 0–2.2nF (no minimum COUT required; saves board space) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6190BESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant and rated for –40°C to +85°C operation. Pin 1 is OUT, Pin 2 is IN, Pin 4 is GND; Pins 1,3,5,7,8 are No Connect (N.C.).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 | N.C. | No internal connection-must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| 2 | IN | Supply input (2.5V to 12.6V); supplies internal bandgap and output stage |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 6 | OUT | Precision 1.250V reference output; capable of sourcing/sinking ±500µA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Curvature-corrected bandgap | Enables ≤5ppm/°C TC without external trimming or calibration |
| Laser-trimmed thin-film resistors | Guarantees ±2mV initial accuracy without post-package adjustment |
| Bidirectional output drive | Sinks and sources up to 500µA-supports active filtering and buffered reference topologies |
| Zero-COUT requirement | Stable with no output capacitor-reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs |
| Low-noise output | 65µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz) and 25µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz)-minimizes quantization noise in 16-bit+ ADCs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3412BRMZ | 1.2V output, ±1.2mV initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C TC, 125µA supply current | Higher power consumption limits use in ultra-low-power battery systems | Select when tighter initial accuracy and lower TC outweigh quiescent current penalty |
| REF3012AIDBZR | 1.2V output, ±1.5mV initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C TC, 50µA supply current | Higher tempco degrades performance above 40°C; not suitable for wide-temperature industrial use | Select only for cost-sensitive, room-temperature consumer applications |
Compared with ADR3412BRMZ and REF3012AIDBZR, MAX6190BESA+ uniquely balances ultra-low quiescent current (35µA), tight tempco (≤5ppm/°C), and ±2mV accuracy-making it optimal for battery-powered precision instruments requiring long-term stability across temperature extremes.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by MAX6190BESA+?
MAX6190BESA+ supports bidirectional load current up to ±500µA while maintaining specified accuracy and stability. It can source up to +500µA into a load and sink up to –500µA from a load, with guaranteed load regulation of 0.12µV/µA. This capability enables direct driving of op-amp inputs, DAC references, or active filter stages without external buffering-reducing system complexity and power loss.
Does MAX6190BESA+ require an output capacitor for stability?
No, MAX6190BESA+ is internally compensated and stable with output capacitance ranging from 0 to 2.2nF. Unlike many references, it does not require a minimum output capacitor-eliminating a common BOM item and saving PCB area. An optional capacitor may be added to improve transient response during large load steps, but it is never mandatory for stability.
What is the dropout voltage specification for MAX6190BESA+?
MAX6190BESA+ has a guaranteed dropout voltage of 100mV at 500µA load current, meaning it maintains regulation as long as VIN ≥ VOUT + 100mV (i.e., VIN ≥ 1.35V). This low dropout enables reliable operation from single-cell batteries (e.g., 1.5V alkaline or 3.0–3.6V Li-ion with aging margin) and low-voltage logic rails-critical for extended battery life in portable instrumentation.
How does MAX6190BESA+ perform under varying input voltage conditions?
MAX6190BESA+ exhibits excellent line regulation of 8µV/V over its full 2.5V–12.6V input range, translating to ≤100µV output shift across that span. Its supply current also remains highly stable-varying only 0.8µA/V with input voltage-ensuring consistent power draw and thermal behavior regardless of rail fluctuations, which is essential for precision metrology and battery-gauge accuracy.
Is MAX6190BESA+ compatible with standard SO-8 footprints?
Yes, MAX6190BESA+ uses the industry-standard 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package (outline 21-0041, land pattern 90-0096), fully compatible with common SOIC-8 PCB footprints and reflow profiles. The "+" suffix confirms RoHS compliance and lead-free termination, supporting modern assembly requirements without footprint or process changes.
