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 - ideal for 16-bit SAR ADCs and high-stability current sources in automotive and industrial instrumentation.
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 guaranteed ±15mA source/sink capability, 8V–40V input range, trim-adjustable output (±24mV min), low-frequency noise performance, and stability with all capacitive loads up to 100µF.
Technical Context
The MAX6220ASA-4.1+ employs a thermally compensated buried-zener core with on-chip curvature correction, enabling flat temperature drift across the full automotive range. Its output is buffered by a low-impedance emitter-follower stage, supporting fast transient response (5µs turn-on settling to ±0.01%) and stable operation under dynamic load conditions.
It integrates dedicated NR and TRIM pins for external wideband noise filtering (via 1µF capacitor) and precision output adjustment (±24mV typical), without degrading long-term stability (20ppm/1000hr) or temperature hysteresis (20ppm). Input ripple rejection exceeds 85dB at 1kHz with CNR = 1µF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +4.096V nominal, with ±0.004V (±0.1%) initial tolerance at +25°C - ensures direct compatibility with 12-bit DACs and 16-bit ADCs requiring exact 4.096V full-scale reference. |
| Temp. Coefficient | 20ppm/°C max over –40°C to +125°C - enables <±0.5mV total drift across automotive operating range, critical for uncalibrated sensor front-ends. |
| Output Noise | 2.4µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz), 2.0µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) - preserves SNR in precision data acquisition systems where reference noise dominates system ENOB. |
| Load Regulation | 30ppm/mA max sinking, 15ppm/mA max sourcing - maintains <±12µV error at ±15mA load swing, suitable for driving op-amp bias networks and active filters. |
| Input Range | 8V to 40V DC - supports direct connection to unregulated automotive battery rails (9V–16V) and industrial 24V systems without pre-regulation. |
| Supply Current | 3.5mA typical - enables low-power operation in always-on monitoring circuits while sustaining full output drive capability. |
| Long-Term Stability | 20ppm/1000hr - guarantees <±0.083mV drift per year, reducing recalibration frequency in metrology-grade equipment. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6220ASA-4.1+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions (4.9mm × 6.0mm, 1.27mm pitch). 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 supply input | Accepts 8V–40V DC; internal regulation isolates output from input ripple - enables clean reference generation from noisy power rails. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog ground reference | Must be star-connected to minimize ground bounce; separates reference return from digital or power ground paths. |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Precision voltage output | Low-impedance buffered output capable of sourcing/sinking ±15mA; stable with 0–100µF capacitive loads - eliminates need for external buffer in most applications. |
| TRIM (Pin 5) | External output adjustment | Accepts resistive divider to adjust output ±24mV (±0.59%); trimming does not affect tempco or long-term stability - supports field calibration. |
| NR (Pin 3) | Noise reduction node | Connects to 1µF capacitor to GND to reduce wideband noise; optional - omission retains full spec compliance but increases 10Hz–1kHz noise by ~0.7µVRMS. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Buried-zener core | Delivers ultra-low 1/f noise and superior long-term stability vs. bandgap references - essential for metrology and calibration equipment. |
| Trim-adjustable output | ±24mV minimum adjustment range via external potentiometer - enables end-of-line calibration without firmware or laser trimming. |
| Capacitive-load immunity | Stable with 0µF to 100µF output capacitance - simplifies layout and eliminates risk of oscillation when using ceramic decoupling or EMI filters. |
| High PSRR | 85dB ripple rejection at 1kHz with NR capacitor - allows direct use after switching regulators without additional LDO filtering. |
| Automotive-grade operation | Specified from –40°C to +125°C with no derating - qualified for engine control units, battery management, and ADAS sensor signal chains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR444BRZ | 4.096V output, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 1.2µVp-p noise, but only ±10mA output drive and 3.3V–18V input range. | Better noise/tempco, but insufficient for high-current sensor biasing or automotive 24V direct-input use cases. | Select ADR444BRZ only when ultra-low drift (<±0.15mV over –40°C to +125°C) is prioritized over drive strength and input voltage flexibility. |
| REF5040AIDR | 4.096V output, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 1.6µVp-p noise, ±10mA drive, 4.6V–18V input, requires external buffer for >5mA loads. | Superior stability and noise, but incompatible with unregulated 24V/40V supplies and cannot directly drive 15mA loads. | Choose REF5040AIDR for lab-grade instrumentation where power supply is tightly regulated and load current ≤5mA. |
Compared with ADR444BRZ and REF5040AIDR, the MAX6220ASA-4.1+ trades minor noise/tempco margin for robustness in harsh environments - its 8V–40V input, ±15mA drive, and capacitive-load immunity make it uniquely suited for automotive and industrial systems where supply quality and load variability are uncontrolled.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of the MAX6220ASA-4.1+?
The MAX6220ASA-4.1+ has a guaranteed ±0.1% initial accuracy at +25°C, corresponding to ±4.1mV tolerance around its nominal 4.096V output. This specification is tested and binned during production, ensuring every unit meets this limit before shipment - critical for systems avoiding post-assembly calibration.
Can the MAX6220ASA-4.1+ operate directly from a 24V automotive supply?
Yes, the MAX6220ASA-4.1+ supports an input voltage range of 8V to 40V DC, making it fully compatible with nominal 24V industrial and automotive systems - including cold-crank (down to ~6V) and load-dump (up to 40V) transients when used with appropriate input protection circuitry.
Does the MAX6220ASA-4.1+ require an external capacitor on the NR pin?
No - the NR pin is optional. Adding a 1µF capacitor to NR reduces wideband noise (10Hz–1kHz) by ~0.7µVRMS, but the MAX6220ASA-4.1+ meets all specifications with NR left open. Omitting the capacitor simplifies layout and reduces BOM count where ultra-low noise is not required.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX6220ASA-4.1+ can drive stably?
The MAX6220ASA-4.1+ is specified stable with output capacitive loads from 0µF to 100µF across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range and full ±15mA load current. This eliminates phase-margin concerns and enables direct use with bulk ceramic or tantalum output capacitors for EMI suppression.
How does the TRIM pin function on the MAX6220ASA-4.1+?
The TRIM pin on the MAX6220ASA-4.1+ accepts a resistive divider between OUT and GND to adjust the output voltage by ±24mV (±0.59%) - achieved with a standard 10kΩ potentiometer. This external trimming does not degrade temperature coefficient or long-term stability, enabling field calibration without rework.
