Product details
Overview
The MAX6220ASA-5.0+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision +5.0V voltage reference IC using buried-zener technology, delivering ±0.1% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C temperature coefficient over -40°C to +125°C, and 3.0µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise - ideal for 16-bit SAR ADCs in automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6220ASA-5.0+ datasheet, MAX6220ASA-5.0+ pinout, MAX6220ASA-5.0+ application, or MAX6220ASA-5.0+ equivalent, key selection criteria include load regulation (≤15 ppm/mA), trim-adjustable ±50mV output range, stability with all capacitive loads up to 100µF, and operation across 8V–40V input supply.
Technical Context
The MAX6220ASA-5.0+ employs a precision buried-zener core with on-chip temperature compensation to achieve flat thermal drift without heater power. Its low-noise architecture includes dedicated NR pin for optional 1µF wideband noise filtering and TRIM pin enabling ±1% output adjustment via external potentiometer without degrading TC performance.
It operates as a two-terminal shunt-like series reference: IN supplies 8V–40V, OUT delivers regulated +5.000V (±0.005V at +25°C), and GND establishes reference ground. Output remains stable under ±15mA sourcing/sinking and exhibits 5µs turn-on settling to ±0.01%, supporting fast-switching data acquisition systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +5.000V ±5mV at +25°C - ensures 16-bit DAC/ADC full-scale accuracy without calibration |
| Temp. Coefficient | 20ppm/°C max (-40°C to +125°C) - enables <±0.5mV drift over full automotive range |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.1% - reduces system-level gain error to ≤5mV at 5V, minimizing calibration overhead |
| Output Noise | 3.0µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz), 2.5µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) - preserves SNR in high-resolution analog front-ends |
| Load Regulation | ≤15 ppm/mA sourcing, ≤30 ppm/mA sinking - maintains voltage stability across dynamic current loads |
| Input Range | 8V to 40V - supports direct connection to unregulated automotive battery rails or industrial SMPS outputs |
| Trim Range | ±50mV (±1%) - allows fine-tuning to compensate for PCB trace resistance or downstream component tolerances |
Pinout & Package
MAX6220ASA-5.0+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO) package with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pins 1, 7, and 8 are internally connected and must remain unconnected in layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 2) | Positive power-supply input | Accepts 8V–40V unregulated input; requires local 2.2µF bypass capacitor to GND for ripple rejection |
| GND (Pin 4) | Reference ground return | Low-impedance ground path essential for noise control; separate analog/digital ground routing recommended |
| NR (Pin 3) | Noise reduction node | Optional 1µF capacitor to GND reduces wideband noise; open-circuit if unused |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Regulated +5.0V output | Delivers precise reference to ADCs, DACs, or op-amp bias networks; stable with 0–100µF capacitive loads |
| TRIM (Pin 5) | External voltage trim input | Connects to wiper of 10kΩ pot between OUT and GND for ±50mV adjustment; no impact on tempco |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Buried-zener core | Enables ultra-low 1/f noise and long-term stability (20ppm/1000hr) without heater power consumption |
| Automotive-grade tempco | 20ppm/°C over -40°C to +125°C ensures minimal drift in engine control or ADAS modules |
| Full-capacitive-load stability | Operates reliably with 0µF to 100µF output capacitance - eliminates need for series resistance or ferrite beads |
| Fast 5µs turn-on settling | Supports burst-mode sampling and power-gated precision subsystems without reference warm-up delay |
| ±15mA source/sink capability | Drives multiple ADC references or op-amp bias networks directly - avoids external buffer stages |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5050AIDR | 5.0V output, 3ppm/°C TC, 1.6µVp-p noise, but only ±10mA sink/source and requires ≥2.7V headroom | Better TC/noise, but limited drive strength and narrower input range (4.5V–18V) restricts use in 40V automotive rails | Select REF5050AIDR only when ultra-low drift dominates over load drive and input voltage flexibility |
| ADR4550BRZ | 5.0V output, 3ppm/°C TC, 1.75µVp-p noise, ±10mA drive, 3.0V–15V input range | Superior TC and noise, but incompatible with >15V inputs and lacks NR/trim pins for system-level tuning | Choose ADR4550BRZ for lab-grade metrology where input voltage is tightly regulated and trimming is unnecessary |
Compared with REF5050AIDR and ADR4550BRZ, the MAX6220ASA-5.0+ trades minor TC/noise penalty for robust 8V–40V operation, ±15mA drive, and field-adjustable trim-making it uniquely suited for ruggedized industrial and automotive designs requiring configurability and wide supply tolerance.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance of the MAX6220ASA-5.0+ at +25°C?
The MAX6220ASA-5.0+ guarantees an output voltage of +4.995V to +5.005V at +25°C, corresponding to ±0.1% initial accuracy. This specification is tested and binned during production, and applies before any external trimming. The MAX6220ASA-5.0+ maintains this tight tolerance across its full -40°C to +125°C operating range with only 20ppm/°C drift.
Can the MAX6220ASA-5.0+ operate from a 12V automotive battery without external regulation?
Yes, the MAX6220ASA-5.0+ accepts 8V to 40V input directly, making it compatible with raw 12V automotive battery rails including cold-crank (down to ~6V) and load-dump (up to ~40V) transients - provided external protection (TVS, fuse) is implemented per ISO 7637-2. Its internal architecture regulates cleanly across this full range without dropout or instability.
Does the MAX6220ASA-5.0+ require an output capacitor to maintain stability?
No, the MAX6220ASA-5.0+ is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with output capacitance from 0µF to 100µF across all load currents. Unlike many bandgap references, it does not require minimum ESR or specific capacitor types. Adding a 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor improves transient response and reduces high-frequency noise, but is optional for basic stability.
How much can the output voltage of the MAX6220ASA-5.0+ be adjusted using the TRIM pin?
The TRIM pin of the MAX6220ASA-5.0+ enables ±50mV (±1%) output adjustment using a 10kΩ potentiometer connected between OUT and GND, with the wiper tied to TRIM. This adjustment is fully specified across temperature and does not degrade the device's 20ppm/°C temperature coefficient or long-term stability.
What is the maximum continuous output current the MAX6220ASA-5.0+ can source or sink?
The MAX6220ASA-5.0+ is specified to source and sink up to ±15mA continuously while maintaining output regulation within datasheet limits. This capability allows it to drive multiple precision ADC references, op-amp bias networks, or small logic interfaces directly - eliminating the need for external buffer amplifiers in many system architectures.
