Product details
Overview
MAX6220ASA-2.5+T 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. It sources/sinks ±15mA and operates from 8V to 40V input, serving as a stable reference in high-resolution 16-bit data converters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6220ASA-2.5+T datasheet, MAX6220ASA-2.5+T pinout, MAX6220ASA-2.5+T application, or MAX6220ASA-2.5+T equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade thermal stability, low-frequency noise performance, trim-adjustable output, load regulation under ±15mA, and compatibility with all capacitive loads up to 100µF.
Technical Context
The MAX6220ASA-2.2.5+T implements a temperature-compensated buried-zener core with internal curvature correction, enabling flat output drift across -40°C to +125°C. Its output impedance remains below 1Ω up to 10kHz, supporting fast load-transient response (±10mA step in <2µs with <500µV deviation).
It features dual-path noise suppression: optional 1µF capacitor on NR pin reduces wideband noise, while internal design minimizes sensitivity to supply ripple - achieving >85dB rejection at 1kHz with CNR = 0µF. The TRIM pin allows ±15mV (±0.6%) adjustment without degrading long-term stability or temperature coefficient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +2.500V ±3mV at +25°C - ensures 16-bit DAC/ADC full-scale accuracy without calibration |
| Temp. Coefficient | 20ppm/°C max (-40°C to +125°C) - enables stable operation in automotive engine control units |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.1% - eliminates need for post-production trimming in precision sensor signal chains |
| Output Noise | 1.5µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz), 1.3µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) - critical for low-drift weigh-scale and strain-gauge amplifiers |
| Load Regulation | 15ppm/mA sourcing, 30ppm/mA sinking - maintains reference integrity under dynamic current draw in multiplexed data acquisition |
| Input Range | 8V to 40V - supports direct connection to unregulated industrial 24V rails or automotive battery systems |
| Long-Term Stability | 20ppm/1000hr - guarantees minimal drift during 10-year field deployment in process control transmitters |
Pinout & Package
MAX6220ASA-2.5+T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO) package with exposed pad (not electrically connected), footprint compliant with JEDEC MS-012AA. Pins 1, 7, and 8 are internally connected and must remain unconnected on PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 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-circuit if unused |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Precision voltage output | Delivers regulated +2.5V; stable with 0–100µF capacitive loads |
| TRIM (Pin 5) | External voltage trim input | Accepts resistive divider for ±15mV (±0.6%) output adjustment without affecting tempco |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Use Value: Low 1.5µVp-p noise prevents current ripple that would obscure sub-nA photocurrent measurements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5025IDR | 2.5V output, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 0.05% initial accuracy, but only ±10mA output drive | Better stability for lab-grade metrology; insufficient sink current for multiplexed ADC references | Select REF5025IDR when ultra-low tempco outweighs drive strength; avoid where ±15mA load capability is required |
| ADR4525BRZ | 2.5V output, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 0.02% initial accuracy, 1.0µVp-p noise, but requires ≥3.3V input and lacks TRIM/NR pins | Superior noise and accuracy for portable instrumentation; no provision for board-level trimming or noise filtering | Select ADR4525BRZ for battery-powered precision devices; choose MAX6220ASA-2.5+T when adjustable output and wide-input flexibility are mandatory |
Compared with REF5025IDR and ADR4525BRZ, the MAX6220ASA-2.5+T trades marginal accuracy and tempco for robust ±15mA drive, 8V–40V input range, and configurable noise/trim features - making it uniquely suited for industrial and automotive systems where supply variation, load dynamics, and field calibration matter more than lab-grade specs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MAX6220ASA-2.5+T?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MAX6220ASA-2.5+T is +42V referenced to GND. Continuous operation is specified from 8V to 40V. Exceeding +42V may cause permanent damage. The device's internal protection limits allow continuous short-circuit of OUT to GND when VIN ≤12V, but only 5 seconds when VIN ≤42V - a critical constraint for fault-tolerant power-supply designs using MAX6220ASA-2.5+T.
Does MAX6220ASA-2.5+T require an output capacitor for stability?
No, MAX6220ASA-2.5+T is explicitly designed to be stable with any capacitive load from 0µF to 100µF across its full operating range and load current (±15mA). This eliminates output capacitor selection risk in high-reliability systems. While adding a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor improves transient response and reduces glitching, it is optional - unlike many bandgap references that oscillate without minimum COUT.
Can the output voltage of MAX6220ASA-2.5+T be adjusted, and by how much?
Yes, the output voltage of MAX6220ASA-2.5+T can be adjusted using the TRIM pin with an external 10kΩ potentiometer between OUT and GND. This provides ±15mV (±0.6%) trim range at the +2.5V output - sufficient for system-level calibration without degrading the 20ppm/°C temperature coefficient or 20ppm/1000hr long-term stability. The TRIM function is fully characterized and supported across -40°C to +125°C.
How does the noise performance of MAX6220ASA-2.5+T compare across frequency bands?
MAX6220ASA-2.5+T delivers 1.5µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz) low-frequency noise ideal for precision weighing and strain measurement, and 1.3µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) broadband noise suitable for audio-grade DAC references. Adding a 1µF capacitor to the NR pin reduces wideband noise further, while the device maintains >85dB supply ripple rejection at 1kHz - a combination not achievable with standard bandgap references.
Is MAX6220ASA-2.5+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6220ASA-2.5+T is rated for the full automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and meets AEC-Q100 stress-test requirements per Maxim's qualification report. Its buried-zener architecture, 20ppm/°C tempco, and 20ppm/1000hr long-term stability are validated across this range - making it suitable for engine control, transmission, and ADAS subsystems where reference stability directly impacts functional safety compliance.
