Product details
Overview
MAX6220ASA-4.1 from Maxim Integrated is a precision +4.096V voltage reference IC using buried-zener technology, delivering ±0.1% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C temperature coefficient over -40°C to +125°C, and 2.4µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise - optimized for 16-bit data converters in automotive and industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6220ASA-4.1 datasheet, MAX6220ASA-4.1 pinout, MAX6220ASA-4.1 application, or MAX6220ASA-4.1 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-noise performance, wide 8V–40V input range, ±15mA source/sink capability, trim-adjustable output, and stability with all capacitive loads up to 100µF.
Technical Context
The MAX6220ASA-4.1 implements a temperature-compensated buried-zener core with optional NR pin filtering and TRIM pin adjustment, enabling high DC stability without heater power. Its architecture supports simultaneous sourcing and sinking up to ±15mA while maintaining <30ppm/mA load regulation and <45ppm/V line regulation.
It features low-output-impedance broadband response (<1Ω at 10kHz), excellent transient recovery (<5µs settling to ±0.01%), and ripple rejection >85dB at 1kHz - critical for precision ADC biasing and closed-loop current-source control in noisy supply environments.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance and temperature coefficient of the MAX6220ASA-4.1?
The MAX6220ASA-4.1 has ±0.1% initial output voltage tolerance at +25°C, corresponding to ±4.1mV around its nominal +4.096V output. Its temperature coefficient is guaranteed at ≤20ppm/°C over the full -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range, ensuring total drift of ≤±0.5mV across that interval. These specifications are measured per the box method and verified across production lots.
Can the MAX6220ASA-4.1 operate from a 24V unregulated supply?
Yes, the MAX6220ASA-4.1 supports an input voltage range of 8V to 40V DC, making it fully compatible with standard 24V industrial and automotive unregulated rails. No external pre-regulator is required. Its line regulation is specified at ≤45ppm/V, so output variation due to 24V ±10% supply fluctuation remains below ±11ppm - well within its overall accuracy budget.
Does the MAX6220ASA-4.1 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX6220ASA-4.1 is explicitly designed to be stable with any capacitive load from 0µF to 100µF, regardless of load current. Unlike many references, it does not require a minimum output capacitance for phase margin. An output capacitor may be added to reduce high-frequency noise or transient glitches, but it is optional and does not affect DC accuracy or stability margins.
How is noise reduced on the MAX6220ASA-4.1?
Noise reduction on the MAX6220ASA-4.1 is achieved via the NR (Noise Reduction) pin: connecting a 1µF capacitor from NR to GND attenuates wideband noise by >10dB without impacting DC performance or settling time. The device's intrinsic 2.4µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise is already among the lowest in its class, and the NR pin provides additional headroom for ultra-sensitive applications like metrology-grade digitizers.
What is the maximum source and sink current capability of the MAX6220ASA-4.1?
The MAX6220ASA-4.1 guarantees ±15mA output current capability - both sourcing and sinking - while maintaining its specified load regulation of ≤30ppm/mA. This allows direct driving of precision current sources, op-amp reference inputs, and sensor excitation circuits without external buffers. Output voltage deviation remains within ±0.12mV/mA across the full ±15mA range at +25°C.
