Product details
Overview
MAX6220ASA-4.1+T 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. It sources/sinks ±15mA and operates from 8V to 40V input, serving as a stable reference in high-resolution ADCs and precision current sources.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6220ASA-4.1+T datasheet, MAX6220ASA-4.1+T pinout, MAX6220ASA-4.1+T application, or MAX6220ASA-4.1+T equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade tempco 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-4.1+T implements a temperature-compensated buried-zener core with internal curvature correction, enabling flat output drift across –40°C to +125°C. Its low-noise architecture includes dedicated NR pin for external 1µF capacitor filtering and TRIM pin supporting ±24mV (±0.59%) adjustment via external potentiometer without degrading tempco.
It features rail-to-rail output drive capability (±15mA), stable operation with 0–100µF output capacitance, and fast 5µs turn-on settling to ±0.01%. Input ripple rejection exceeds 85dB at 1kHz with CNR = 1µF, and output impedance remains below 1Ω up to 10kHz under sourcing/sinking conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +4.096V nominal, ±0.004V (±0.1%) initial tolerance at +25°C - ensures direct compatibility with 12-bit DACs and 16-bit SAR ADCs requiring exact 4.096V full-scale reference. |
| Tempco | 20ppm/°C max over –40°C to +125°C - guarantees ≤±0.5mV output drift across full automotive temperature range, critical for industrial sensor front-ends. |
| Output Noise | 2.4µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz), 2.0µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) - enables <18-bit effective resolution in precision data acquisition systems. |
| Load Regulation | ≤30ppm/mA (sinking), ≤15ppm/mA (sourcing) - maintains voltage stability during dynamic load steps in programmable current sources. |
| Input Range | 8V to 40V DC - supports wide-input industrial power rails and battery-backed systems without external regulators. |
| Trim Range | ±24mV (±0.59%) via TRIM pin - allows fine calibration to compensate for PCB trace resistance or downstream gain errors. |
| Long-Term Stability | 20ppm/1000hr - ensures minimal drift over time in metrology and calibration equipment requiring multi-year accuracy retention. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6220ASA-4.1+T 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 on PCB. The device requires no external compensation and is stable with 0–100µF output capacitance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 2) | Positive power supply input | Accepts 8V–40V DC; bypass capacitor recommended for ripple suppression; powers internal zener and bias circuitry. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog ground reference | Common return for output, trim, and noise-reduction paths; must be low-impedance and separated from digital ground. |
| NR (Pin 3) | Noise reduction node | Connects optional 1µF capacitor to GND to reduce wideband noise; open-circuit if unused - no impact on stability. |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated +4.096V; capable of sourcing/sinking ±15mA; stable with any capacitive load up to 100µF. |
| TRIM (Pin 5) | External voltage trim input | Accepts adjustable voltage (via 10kΩ pot between OUT/GND) to shift output ±24mV; does not affect tempco or long-term stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 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 7V–18V input range. | Better noise/tempco, but unsuitable for 40V industrial rails or ±15mA loads without buffering. | Select ADR444BRZ only when ultra-low drift/noise is prioritized and input voltage/load constraints permit. |
| REF5040AIDR | 4.096V output, 6ppm/°C max tempco, 2.2µVp-p noise, ±10mA drive, 4.6V–18V input, requires external 10µF output cap for stability. | Lower tempco than MAX6220ASA-4.1+T, but narrower input range and conditional stability limit flexibility in ruggedized designs. | Choose REF5040AIDR for lab-grade instrumentation where 18V max input is acceptable and board space allows external capacitor. |
Compared with ADR444BRZ and REF5040AIDR, the MAX6220ASA-4.1+T trades minor noise/tempco penalties for robust 8V–40V operation, ±15mA drive, and unconditional stability - making it uniquely suited for automotive and industrial systems where supply voltage variation and load dynamics are unpredictable.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for MAX6220ASA-4.1+T at +25°C?
The MAX6220ASA-4.1+T has a guaranteed initial output voltage tolerance of ±0.1% at +25°C, corresponding to +4.092V to +4.100V. This specification is tested and binned during production, and applies across the full automotive temperature range when combined with its 20ppm/°C tempco rating. The MAX6220ASA-4.1+T achieves this accuracy using buried-zener technology with on-chip curvature compensation.
Can MAX6220ASA-4.1+T operate from a 48V supply rail?
No - the MAX6220ASA-4.1+T has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +42V, and its specified operating input range is strictly 8V to 40V. Applying 48V violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings and may cause permanent damage. For 48V systems, a pre-regulator stage (e.g., buck converter or linear regulator) must be used to step down to ≤40V before feeding the MAX6220ASA-4.1+T IN pin.
Does MAX6220ASA-4.1+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No - the MAX6220ASA-4.1+T is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with output capacitance ranging from 0µF to 100µF, regardless of load current. Unlike many references requiring minimum ESR or specific capacitor types, the MAX6220ASA-4.1+T uses an internal compensation scheme that eliminates external stability dependencies. Adding a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for noise reduction but is not required for stability.
How much can the output voltage of MAX6220ASA-4.1+T be adjusted using the TRIM pin?
The TRIM pin of the MAX6220ASA-4.1+T supports ±24mV (±0.59%) output adjustment around the nominal +4.096V, equivalent to a total trim range of +4.072V to +4.120V. This is achieved by connecting a 10kΩ potentiometer between OUT and GND, with its wiper to TRIM. The MAX6220ASA-4.1+T datasheet confirms this range is guaranteed and does not degrade temperature coefficient or long-term stability.
Is MAX6220ASA-4.1+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - the MAX6220ASA-4.1+T is rated for the full automotive temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and is manufactured in an AEC-Q100 stress-tested process flow. Its 20ppm/°C tempco, ±0.1% initial accuracy, and 20ppm/1000hr long-term stability meet stringent requirements for battery monitoring, ADAS sensor conditioning, and powertrain control modules. The "ASA" suffix denotes SOIC packaging qualified for automotive use.
