Product details
Overview
MAX6193BESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision, micropower, low-dropout series-mode bandgap voltage reference delivering a stable 3.000V output with ±2mV initial accuracy, 5ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and only 35µA max quiescent supply 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 requiring long-term stability and low power.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6193BESA+T datasheet, MAX6193BESA+T pinout, MAX6193BESA+T application, or MAX6193BESA+T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated SO-8 pin configuration, application-specific implementation guidance, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and parametric differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6193BESA+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 current (±500µA) with only 100mV dropout at 500µA sink/source.
Internally compensated for stability with capacitive loads up to 2.2nF, it delivers fast 100µs turn-on settling time to 0.1% and exhibits 0.14µV/µA load regulation and 20µV/V line regulation - critical for precision data acquisition in battery-powered and low-noise systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.000V ±2mV (guaranteed initial tolerance enables direct replacement of 3V references without calibration) |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤5ppm/°C (max drift of ±0.45mV over full –40°C to +85°C range supports uncalibrated industrial sensors) |
| Quiescent Current | ≤35µA (enables >10-year battery life in 10µA-sleep IoT nodes with wake-up reference biasing) |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 500µA load (allows operation from 3.1V supply in 3.3V systems with tight headroom) |
| Load Regulation | 0.14µV/µA (output shift <70µV across full ±500µA load range preserves 16-bit ADC LSB integrity) |
| Line Regulation | 20µV/V (output change <200µV over 3.2V–12.6V input range simplifies LDO selection) |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 150µVP-P (low flicker noise avoids degradation in high-resolution weigh-scale front-ends) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6193BESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not electrically connected. 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; no routing required |
| 2 | IN | Supply input (VOUT + 0.2V to 12.6V); requires local 100nF ceramic decoupling near pin |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; must connect to clean system AGND plane with low-inductance path |
| 6 | OUT | Stable 3.000V reference output; capable of sourcing/sinking ±500µA with <100mV dropout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Curvature-corrected bandgap core | Enables ≤5ppm/°C TC without external compensation - eliminates trimming overhead in production test |
| Laser-trimmed thin-film resistors | Guarantees ±2mV initial accuracy at +25°C - reduces need for post-assembly calibration in medical devices |
| Capacitive-load stability (0–2.2nF) | Allows direct drive of SAR ADC sample capacitors without isolation resistor - saves board space and cost |
| ±500µA bidirectional load capability | Supports active filtering and buffered reference topologies without external op-amp - simplifies analog front-end design |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network - ensures stability across all qualified loads and PCB parasitics |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3030AIDBZR | 3.0V output, ±1.5mV initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max TC, 50µA supply current, SOT-23-3 package | Higher TC and supply current; smaller footprint but no N.C. pins - less layout flexibility for noise isolation | Choose for space-constrained designs where 50ppm/°C TC is acceptable and SOT-23-3 mounting is preferred |
| ADR3430ARJZ-R7 | 3.0V output, ±2mV initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max TC, 3.5µA typical supply current, SOT-23-5 package | Lower quiescent current but higher TC; requires external capacitor for stability; different pinout | Choose for ultra-low-power applications where 10ppm/°C TC meets system budget and external COUT is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by MAX6193BESA+T?
MAX6193BESA+T supports ±500µA bidirectional load current - it can both source and sink up to 500µA while maintaining output regulation within specification. This capability allows it to drive ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and active filter stages without external buffering, and is validated across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range.
Does MAX6193BESA+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, MAX6193BESA+T is internally compensated and stable with output capacitance ranging from 0 to 2.2nF. An external capacitor is optional and only recommended in applications subject to fast load or supply transients - such as multiplexed sensor arrays - where it improves transient response and reduces overshoot. The absence of mandatory COUT saves board area and BOM cost.
What is the dropout voltage specification for MAX6193BESA+T at full load?
At 500µA load current, MAX6193BESA+T has a guaranteed maximum dropout voltage of 100mV - meaning it maintains regulation with input as low as 3.1V when delivering 3.000V output. This low dropout enables reliable operation from aging batteries or tightly regulated 3.3V rails, and is specified under worst-case conditions including high temperature and maximum load.
How does the temperature coefficient of MAX6193BESA+T compare to standard bandgap references?
MAX6193BESA+T achieves ≤5ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient - significantly better than typical bandgap references (25–100ppm/°C). This performance results from Maxim's proprietary curvature-correction circuit and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors, enabling applications like precision weigh scales and portable calibrators to meet accuracy targets without temperature compensation firmware or hardware.
Is MAX6193BESA+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX619x family?
Yes, all MAX6190–MAX6195/MAX6198 variants, including MAX6193BESA+T, share identical 8-pin SO package pinout and electrical interface - IN, OUT, GND, and five N.C. pins. This allows drop-in substitution across output voltages (1.25V to 5.0V) and accuracy grades (A/B/C) without PCB redesign, provided input voltage and load requirements remain compatible.
