Product details
Overview
MAX6193AESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision, micropower, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 3.000V output with ±2mV initial accuracy, 5ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35µA max quiescent current. It operates from (VOUT + 0.2V) to 12.6V input, supports ±500µA load current, and is used in high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing, portable instrumentation, and industrial process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6193AESA+ datasheet, MAX6193AESA+ pinout, MAX6193AESA+ application, or MAX6193AESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include initial voltage error, thermal drift stability over -40°C to +85°C, dropout performance at full load, capacitive-load tolerance up to 2.2nF, and compatibility with battery-powered systems requiring <35µA supply current.
Technical Context
The MAX6193AESA+ employs a curvature-corrected bandgap core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve <5ppm/°C temperature coefficient and ±2mV initial accuracy. Its series-mode architecture enables sourcing and sinking up to 500µA while maintaining low dropout (100mV typ at 500µA).
Internally compensated for stability with capacitive loads from 0 to 2.2nF, it achieves 100µs turn-on settling time to 0.1% and exhibits 0.14µV/µA load regulation and 20µV/V line regulation - critical for precision data conversion and low-power sensor signal chains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.000V ±2mV (guaranteed initial accuracy over -40°C to +85°C) |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤5ppm/°C (max drift over full operating temperature range) |
| Quiescent Current | ≤35µA (enables multi-year battery life in handheld instruments) |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV typical at 500µA load (supports operation down to 3.1V input) |
| Load Regulation | 0.14µV/µA (output change per µA load shift - ensures stable reference under dynamic loads) |
| Capacitive Load Stability | 0–2.2nF (no minimum output capacitor required; simplifies layout) |
| Line Regulation | 20µV/V (output variation per volt of input change - critical for unregulated supplies) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6193AESA+ 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, and 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 | Positive supply input; accepts 3.2V to 12.6V; requires local decoupling for PSR optimization |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be connected to clean system ground plane with low-impedance path |
| 6 | OUT | Precision 3.000V reference output; capable of sourcing/sinking ±500µA with minimal regulation error |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Curvature-corrected bandgap | Enables ≤5ppm/°C tempco without external compensation components |
| Laser-trimmed thin-film resistors | Guarantees ±2mV initial accuracy - eliminates post-manufacture calibration |
| Series-mode architecture | Draws only 35µA quiescent current regardless of load state - maximizes battery efficiency |
| Internal compensation | Stable with 0–2.2nF output capacitance - removes need for external compensation network |
| Low-output-impedance design | Supports fast transient response (<100µs settling) into dynamic loads like SAR ADC sampling |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by MAX6193AESA+?
MAX6193AESA+ supports sourcing and sinking up to ±500µA while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. At 500µA load, dropout voltage is typically 100mV, and load regulation is characterized at 0.14µV/µA - ensuring minimal output deviation even under full bidirectional loading conditions. This capability makes MAX6193AESA+ suitable for driving ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and precision DACs without external buffering.
Does MAX6193AESA+ require an external output capacitor?
No, MAX6193AESA+ does not require an external output capacitor for stability - it is internally compensated and remains stable with capacitive loads from 0 to 2.2nF. An optional capacitor may improve transient response in systems with abrupt load or supply changes, but omitting it saves board space and cost. The absence of mandatory output capacitance is a key advantage in space-constrained portable designs where MAX6193AESA+ is commonly deployed.
What is the operating temperature range for MAX6193AESA+?
MAX6193AESA+ is rated for continuous operation from -40°C to +85°C. All key specifications - including ±2mV initial accuracy, ≤5ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 35µA max quiescent current - are guaranteed across this full industrial temperature range. This makes MAX6193AESA+ appropriate for deployment in outdoor instrumentation, factory-floor controllers, and automotive cabin electronics where ambient thermal extremes are expected.
How does the supply voltage affect quiescent current in MAX6193AESA+?
Quiescent supply current in MAX6193AESA+ is highly stable: it varies by only 0.8µA/V across its input range (3.2V to 12.6V), remaining ≤35µA maximum. This near-constant current draw - independent of VIN - is a defining feature of its series-mode architecture and directly enables predictable battery-life estimation in portable equipment. Unlike shunt references, MAX6193AESA+ does not waste current when load demand is low.
Can MAX6193AESA+ be used in a 3.3V system?
Yes, MAX6193AESA+ is fully compatible with 3.3V systems: its minimum input voltage is VOUT + 0.2V = 3.2V, and typical dropout is 100mV at 500µA load. With a 3.3V supply, it maintains full specification compliance and delivers stable 3.000V output. This tight headroom tolerance makes MAX6193AESA+ ideal for modern low-voltage embedded platforms where rail margins are constrained and power efficiency is critical.
