Product details
Overview
MAX6220ASA-2.5+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision +2.5V voltage reference IC using buried-zener technology, delivering ±0.1% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to +125°C, and 1.5µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise - deployed in high-resolution 16-bit data converters and ATE systems requiring stable excitation sources.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6220ASA-2.5+ datasheet, MAX6220ASA-2.5+ pinout, MAX6220ASA-2.5+ application, or MAX6220ASA-2.5+ equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade tempco stability, low-noise performance under capacitive loads, ±15mA sink/source capability, and trim-adjustable output for calibration-critical instrumentation.
Technical Context
The MAX6220ASA-2.5+ employs a buried-zener core with on-chip temperature compensation to achieve flat thermal drift across –40°C to +125°C, eliminating need for ovenized or heated references. Its output remains stable with any capacitive load from 0µF to 100µF, enabling direct interface with ADC sample-and-hold inputs and DAC reference buffers without external isolation.
It supports optional noise reduction via a 1µF capacitor on the NR pin, reducing wideband noise while maintaining <5µs turn-on settling to ±0.01%. The TRIM pin allows ±15mV (±0.6%) adjustment without degrading temperature stability or long-term drift.
Key Specifications

| Output Voltage | +2.500V ±3mV at +25°C - ensures sub-LSB error in 16-bit (±31.25mV full-scale) systems |
| Tempco | 20ppm/°C max (–40°C to +125°C) - enables ≤±0.5mV total drift over full automotive range |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 1.5µVp-p - preserves SNR >110dB in precision sigma-delta ADC front-ends |
| Load Regulation | ≤15ppm/mA sourcing, ≤30ppm/mA sinking - maintains accuracy under dynamic load switching |
| Input Range | 8V to 40V - supports unregulated industrial rails and battery-backed supplies |
| Long-Term Stability | 20ppm/1000hr - guarantees calibration integrity over 6+ months in field-deployed sensors |
| Supply Current | 3.3mA typical - enables low-power operation in always-on monitoring nodes |
Pinout & Package
MAX6220ASA-2.5+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO) package with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pins 1, 7, and 8 are internally connected and must remain unconnected in PCB layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 2) | Positive power-supply input | Accepts 8V–40V DC; bypass capacitor recommended to suppress supply ripple coupling |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog ground reference | Must be star-connected to minimize ground bounce in mixed-signal systems |
| NR (Pin 3) | Noise reduction node | Connects to 1µF capacitor to reduce wideband noise; open if unused |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Precision +2.5V reference output | Stable with 0–100µF capacitive loads; drives ADC REF pins directly |
| TRIM (Pin 5) | External voltage trim input | Accepts resistive divider for ±15mV (±0.6%) fine adjustment without affecting tempco |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Buried-zener core | Enables ultra-low 1.5µVp-p noise and 20ppm/°C tempco without heater power or thermal mass |
| Capacitive-load immunity | Stable with 0–100µF output capacitance - eliminates need for series isolation resistor in ADC reference paths |
| Trim-adjustable output | ±15mV (±0.6%) adjustment range via external potentiometer - supports system-level calibration without firmware changes |
| High transient immunity | <5µs turn-on settling and <500µV overshoot during ±10mA load steps - prevents reference glitching in fast-sampling systems |
| Automotive temperature range | Specified from –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and industrial control environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5025IDR | 2.5V, 3ppm/°C max, 0.1µVp-p noise, but only ±10mA output drive and requires ≥3.3V supply | Better tempco/noise, but unsuitable for 8V–40V industrial rails or high-current sourcing | Select REF5025IDR only when ultra-low drift dominates over supply flexibility and drive strength |
| ADR441BRZ | 2.5V, 3ppm/°C max, 1.2µVp-p noise, SOIC-8, but limited to –40°C to +105°C and no NR pin | Higher precision in commercial temp range; lacks automotive qualification and noise-reduction option | Choose ADR441BRZ for lab-grade bench instruments where extended temperature range is unnecessary |
Compared with REF5025IDR and ADR441BRZ, the MAX6220ASA-2.5+ trades minor tempco/noise margin for robust 8V–40V operation, ±15mA drive, automotive qualification, and configurable noise reduction - making it optimal for field-deployed industrial and automotive systems demanding reliability over absolute best-case specs.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX6220ASA-2.5+ can drive without instability?
The MAX6220ASA-2.5+ is specified stable with any capacitive load from 0µF to 100µF across its full operating temperature and load-current range. This eliminates the need for series isolation resistors when driving ADC reference inputs or large decoupling caps, simplifying layout and preserving transient response. No external compensation is required for stability - a key differentiator versus bandgap-based references.
Does the MAX6220ASA-2.5+ require an external noise-reduction capacitor to meet its 1.5µVp-p specification?
No - the 1.5µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise specification for the MAX6220ASA-2.5+ is guaranteed with CNR = 0µF. Adding a 1µF capacitor to the NR pin further reduces wideband noise but is optional. The base specification reflects intrinsic buried-zener performance, making MAX6220ASA-2.5+ suitable for ultra-low-noise applications even without added components.
Can the MAX6220ASA-2.5+ operate from a 5V supply rail?
No - the MAX6220ASA-2.5+ requires a minimum input voltage of 8V per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. It is designed for higher-voltage industrial and automotive supplies (8V–40V), not low-voltage logic rails. Attempting operation below 8V will result in regulation loss and undefined output behavior.
What is the purpose of the TRIM pin on the MAX6220ASA-2.5+ and how much adjustment does it provide?
The TRIM pin on the MAX6220ASA-2.5+ accepts an external resistive divider to adjust the output voltage by ±15mV (±0.6% of 2.5V). This allows system-level calibration after PCB assembly to compensate for board-level errors. Crucially, trimming does not degrade the device's 20ppm/°C temperature coefficient or long-term stability - the compensation is applied post-compensation circuitry.
Is the MAX6220ASA-2.5+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - the MAX6220ASA-2.5+ is explicitly rated for the automotive temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and features 20ppm/°C max tempco, 20ppm/1000hr long-term stability, and robust supply rejection - all validated across that full range. Its SOIC package meets AEC-Q200 stress requirements when used within specified electrical limits.
