Product details
Overview
MAX6193CESA from Maxim Integrated is a precision, micropower, low-dropout series-mode bandgap voltage reference delivering 3.000V output with ±2mV initial accuracy, 5ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35µA max quiescent supply current - ideal for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered handheld instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6193CESA datasheet, MAX6193CESA pinout, MAX6193CESA application, or MAX6193CESA equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low-power, high-stability reference needs in precision 3V systems where load regulation (0.14µV/µA), dropout (100mV at 500µA), and capacitive-load stability (up to 2.2nF) are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX6193CESA 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. It operates as a series-mode reference capable of sourcing and sinking up to ±500µA while maintaining regulation.
Internally compensated for fast settling (100µs to 0.1%), it remains stable with capacitive loads from 0 to 2.2nF and exhibits minimal supply current variation (0.8–2µA/V) across its input range (VOUT + 0.2V to 12.6V). Line regulation is 20µV/V max; load regulation is 0.14µV/µA max.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3030AIDBZR | 3.0V output, ±1.5mV initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max tempco, SOT23-3 package, 50µA supply current | Higher tempco and supply current; lacks load-sinking capability and capacitive-load stability margin | Preferred only when board space is constrained and 50ppm/°C drift is acceptable |
| ADR3430ARJZ-R7 | 3.0V output, ±2mV initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max tempco, SOT23-5 package, 120µA supply current | Higher quiescent current and larger tempco; requires minimum 100nF output capacitor for stability | Selected when higher drive strength (>10mA) is needed, but not for ultra-low-power or capacitor-free designs |
Compared with REF3030AIDBZR and ADR3430ARJZ-R7, the MAX6193CESA delivers superior temperature stability (5ppm/°C vs. ≥10ppm/°C), lower supply current (35µA vs. ≥50µA), and true capacitor-free operation - making it optimal for space- and power-constrained 3V instrumentation where long-term calibration integrity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current the MAX6193CESA can source or sink while maintaining regulation?
The MAX6193CESA is specified to source and sink up to ±500µA while maintaining output voltage regulation within datasheet limits. At 500µA load, dropout is guaranteed ≤100mV, and load regulation is bounded at 0.14µV/µA. Exceeding ±500µA may cause output deviation beyond specification and is not recommended for production designs using MAX6193CESA.
Does the MAX6193CESA require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6193CESA is internally compensated and stable with capacitive loads from 0 to 2.2nF - meaning no output capacitor is required for stability. An optional capacitor may improve transient response in high-dynamic-load applications, but omitting it saves board space and reduces BOM count without compromising functionality of MAX6193CESA.
What is the supply voltage range for the MAX6193CESA?
The MAX6193CESA operates with a supply voltage (IN) from (VOUT + 0.2V) = 3.2V minimum to 12.6V maximum. This 3.2V–12.6V range ensures reliable operation across varying input conditions while maintaining 3.000V output accuracy and low dropout performance throughout the usable range of MAX6193CESA.
How does the MAX6193CESA's temperature coefficient compare to similar references?
The MAX6193CESA guarantees a maximum temperature coefficient of 5ppm/°C - among the lowest in its class of micropower references. This compares favorably to alternatives like REF3030AIDBZR (50ppm/°C) and ADR3430ARJZ-R7 (10ppm/°C), enabling tighter system-level accuracy over –40°C to +85°C without software compensation in MAX6193CESA-based designs.
Is the MAX6193CESA RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MAX6193CESA carries the ESA+ suffix, indicating it is RoHS-compliant and lead-free per JEDEC J-STD-609. The 8-pin SO package meets global environmental regulations and is suitable for modern automated assembly processes without requiring special lead-free reflow profiles beyond standard Pb-free guidelines for MAX6193CESA.
