Product details
Overview
MAX6195CESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision, micropower, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 5.000V output with ±2mV initial accuracy, 5ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35µA max quiescent current - ideal for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered handheld instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6195CESA+ datasheet, MAX6195CESA+ pinout, MAX6195CESA+ application, or MAX6195CESA+ equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, SO-8 package details, load-regulation behavior at 500µA, dropout performance (100mV @ 500µA), and real-world application context for precision analog systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6195CESA+ is a series-mode bandgap voltage reference using proprietary curvature-correction circuitry and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve <5ppm/°C temperature drift and ±2mV initial tolerance. It operates over 5.2V to 12.6V input range (VOUT + 0.2V min) and supports bidirectional load currents up to ±500µA.
Internally compensated for stability with capacitive loads up to 2.2nF, it achieves 220µs turn-on settling time to 0.1% and exhibits 0.17µV/µA load regulation and 25µV/V line regulation - enabling use in fast-settling, low-noise data acquisition front-ends without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±2mV (±0.04% initial accuracy at +25°C) |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤5ppm/°C (max drift over -40°C to +85°C; enables <0.5mV total variation in industrial temp range) |
| Quiescent Current | ≤35µA (ultra-low power draw; stable across input voltage; extends battery life in portable instruments) |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ 500µA load (enables operation from 5.1V supply in 5V systems; minimal headroom requirement) |
| Load Regulation | 0.17µV/µA (0.085mV shift over full ±500µA load range; critical for ratiometric ADC reference stability) |
| Line Regulation | 25µV/V (0.125mV shift over 5.2V–12.6V input; ensures reference integrity despite supply ripple or variation) |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 240µVRMS (low-frequency noise floor suitable for high-resolution 16–24-bit converter references) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6195CESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant and rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. Pin 1 is marked with a beveled corner or dot; pins 1, 3, 5, 7, and 8 are no-connect (N.C.) terminals not bonded internally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 2 (IN) | Supply Voltage Input | Accepts 5.2V–12.6V input; must exceed VOUT by ≥100mV for regulation; supplies internal bandgap core and output stage |
| Pin 4 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Primary ground return for reference output and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system AGND |
| Pin 6 (OUT) | Precision Reference Output | Delivers regulated 5.000V ±2mV; capable of sourcing/sinking up to ±500µA while maintaining specified accuracy and dropout |
| Pins 1,3,5,7,8 (N.C.) | No Connection | Not internally connected; must remain unconnected on PCB; no routing or thermal relief required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Initial Accuracy | ±2mV (0.04%) - eliminates need for system-level trimming in portable test equipment and sensor signal chains |
| Temperature Stability | ≤5ppm/°C - ensures <0.25mV total drift over full -40°C to +85°C range, critical for unheated industrial field instruments |
| Capacitive Load Tolerance | Stable with 0–2.2nF output capacitance - supports direct connection to ADC input caps without oscillation risk |
| Bidirectional Load Drive | ±500µA sink/source capability - enables use in both sourcing (e.g., DAC reference) and sinking (e.g., op-amp bias) configurations |
| Low Dropout | 100mV @ 500µA - allows operation from single Li-ion cell (4.2V) with LDO pre-regulator, minimizing power loss |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5050IDR | 5.0V output, ±0.05% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C TC, 950µA quiescent current, SO-8 | Higher power consumption; better TC but larger supply current limits battery life | Select REF5050IDR only when ultra-low TC (<3ppm/°C) outweighs micropower requirements |
| ADR4550BRZ | 5.0V output, ±0.02% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C TC, 950µA quiescent current, SO-8 | Superior accuracy and TC, but 27× higher supply current; requires heatsinking at full load | Choose ADR4550BRZ for lab-grade metrology where power is secondary to long-term stability |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by MAX6195CESA+ while maintaining regulation?
MAX6195CESA+ supports bidirectional load currents from -500µA to +500µA while maintaining specified accuracy and dropout voltage. At ±500µA, the device exhibits ≤100mV dropout and retains its ±2mV initial accuracy over temperature. Exceeding this range may cause output deviation beyond guaranteed specifications or thermal stress.
Does MAX6195CESA+ require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, MAX6195CESA+ is internally compensated and stable with output capacitance ranging from 0 to 2.2nF. An external capacitor is optional and recommended only in applications with fast load transients or supply ripple to improve transient response - not for basic stability.
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX6195CESA+ to regulate at full load?
The minimum input voltage for MAX6195CESA+ is VOUT + 0.2V = 5.2V under full 500µA load conditions. This 200mV headroom ensures regulation integrity; at lighter loads, dropout decreases - e.g., 100mV at 500µA - but design margin should maintain ≥5.2V input.
How does MAX6195CESA+ compare to MAX6195BESA+ in accuracy and temperature coefficient?
MAX6195CESA+ offers ±2mV initial accuracy and ≤5ppm/°C temperature coefficient, whereas MAX6195BESA+ provides ±5mV accuracy and ≤10ppm/°C TC. Both share identical pinout, package, and electrical behavior outside these trimmed parameters - C-grade is selected for highest-precision applications.
Can MAX6195CESA+ be used in a sinking configuration to bias an op-amp input?
Yes, MAX6195CESA+ is fully bidirectional and can sink up to 500µA. When used to bias an op-amp input (e.g., setting common-mode voltage), it maintains regulation as long as the sink current stays within -500µA and input voltage remains ≥5.2V - confirmed in Electrical Characteristics tables.
