Product details
Overview
MAX6225ACSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 2.500V buried-zener voltage reference IC with 1.0ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, ±0.02% initial accuracy, and 1.5µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise-designed for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in metrology-grade instrumentation and ATE systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6225ACSA+T datasheet, MAX6225ACSA+T pinout, MAX6225ACSA+T application, or MAX6225ACSA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±15mA sourcing/sinking capability, 8-pin SO package compatibility, low 18mW power consumption at +25°C, and optional external trim/noise reduction support.
Technical Context
The MAX6225ACSA+T employs buried-zener core technology with on-chip temperature compensation to achieve laboratory-grade stability without heater power. Its output remains stable across capacitive loads from 0µF to 100µF and supports both sourcing and sinking up to ±15mA while maintaining <6ppm/mA load regulation (0–15mA, +25°C).
It features dedicated NR and TRIM pins enabling wideband noise reduction via 1µF capacitor and ±15mV (±0.6%) output adjustment without degrading temperature coefficient. Transient response settles within 5µs to ±0.01% of final value, supporting fast-switching data acquisition systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX6225ACSA+T?
The MAX6225ACSA+T supports an input voltage range of 8V to 36V. Absolute maximum rating for the IN pin is +40V, but operation above 36V is not characterized or guaranteed. Exceeding the specified 36V upper limit may compromise long-term reliability and parametric performance, including tempco and noise behavior. Always maintain VIN within 8V–36V for full specification compliance in designs using MAX6225ACSA+T.
Does the MAX6225ACSA+T require an external capacitor on the NR pin?
No, the NR pin on the MAX6225ACSA+T is optional: leaving it open provides standard performance, while connecting a 1µF capacitor to GND reduces wideband noise significantly. Larger values (e.g., >2.2µF) yield diminishing returns per the datasheet. The NR function does not affect output voltage accuracy or temperature coefficient. This flexibility allows designers to optimize MAX6225ACSA+T for either minimal BOM count or ultra-low-noise operation.
Can the MAX6225ACSA+T sink current, and how much?
Yes, the MAX6225ACSA+T can both source and sink up to ±15mA continuously-verified across its 0°C to +70°C operating range. Sink capability enables use in active current-sense references, bipolar DAC buffers, and feedback loops requiring bidirectional current flow. Load regulation remains ≤6ppm/mA during sinking (0 to −15mA), ensuring high fidelity even under dynamic load conditions in systems utilizing MAX6225ACSA+T.
What is the purpose of the TRIM pin on the MAX6225ACSA+T?
The TRIM pin on the MAX6225ACSA+T enables ±15mV (±0.6%) output voltage adjustment using a 10kΩ potentiometer between OUT and GND, with the wiper connected to TRIM. This external trimming does not degrade temperature coefficient or long-term stability. It supports system-level calibration to compensate for PCB trace resistance, DAC gain error, or sensor offset-making MAX6225ACSA+T adaptable to end-equipment tolerances without custom factory programming.
Is the MAX6225ACSA+T compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the MAX6225ACSA+T is stable with ceramic, tantalum, or electrolytic output capacitors ranging from 0µF to 100µF-no minimum ESR requirement. This eliminates the need for damping resistors or specialized capacitor types in space-constrained layouts. Ceramic capacitors are especially recommended for low-inductance, high-frequency decoupling near the OUT pin. Full stability is maintained across all load currents, confirming robustness in real-world MAX6225ACSA+T implementations.
