Product details
Overview
MAX6250BCSA-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5.000V buried-zener voltage reference IC with 5.0ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, ±0.02% initial accuracy, and 3.0µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise-designed for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in test equipment and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6250BCSA-T datasheet, MAX6250BCSA-T pinout, MAX6250BCSA-T application, or MAX6250BCSA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±15mA sourcing/sinking capability, 8V–36V input range, low 20ppm/1000h long-term stability, and SO-8 package compatibility with industry-standard layout footprints.
Technical Context
The MAX6250BCSA-T employs buried-zener topology with on-chip temperature compensation to achieve flat thermal drift across –40°C to +85°C. Its output stage delivers stable 5.000V reference under load currents from –15mA to +15mA while maintaining ≤6ppm/mA load regulation (typical) and ≤5ppm/V line regulation over 10V–36V input range.
Internal noise reduction circuitry supports external 1µF capacitor on NR pin to suppress wideband noise; TRIM pin enables ±30mV (±0.6%) output adjustment without degrading temperature stability. Output impedance remains below 1Ω up to 10kHz, ensuring minimal interaction with downstream sampling circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±0.005V at +25°C - ensures 16-bit DAC/ADC full-scale accuracy without calibration. |
| Temp Coefficient | 5.0ppm/°C max (–40°C to +85°C) - limits voltage drift to ±0.4mV over full industrial range. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.02% - guarantees absolute error ≤±1mV at power-up, reducing system offset correction burden. |
| Output Noise | 3.0µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz), 2.5µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) - preserves SNR in precision measurement front-ends. |
| Load Current | ±15mA sourcing/sinking - drives multiple op-amp references or ADC reference inputs directly. |
| Input Range | 8V to 36V - accommodates unregulated supplies and eliminates need for pre-regulation in many industrial designs. |
| Long-Term Stability | 20ppm/1000h - ensures <±0.1mV drift per 1000 hours, critical for metrology-grade instruments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6250BCSA-T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead finish, and JEDEC MS-012AC outline. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pins 1, 7, and 8 are internally connected and must remain unconnected in PCB layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7, 8 | I.C. (Internally Connected) | No external connection required; floating or tied to GND has no functional effect. |
| 2 | IN | Positive supply input; accepts 8V–36V; internal current limiting protects against overvoltage. |
| 3 | NR | Noise reduction node; connect 1µF capacitor to GND to reduce wideband output noise by >15dB. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; requires low-impedance star connection to minimize ground bounce errors. |
| 5 | TRIM | Voltage adjust input; ±30mV trim range via 10kΩ potentiometer between OUT and GND. |
| 6 | OUT | Stable 5.000V reference output; capable of driving capacitive loads up to 100µF without oscillation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Buried-zener core | Delivers lowest possible 1/f noise and superior long-term stability vs. bandgap references. |
| Trim-adjustable output | ±30mV fine-tuning range allows system-level calibration without trimming external resistors. |
| Capacitive-load immunity | Stable with 0µF to 100µF output capacitance - eliminates need for isolation resistors in noisy environments. |
| High PSRR | ≥80dB ripple rejection at 1kHz (with NR cap) - maintains reference integrity when powered from switchers. |
| Fast turn-on settling | 10µs to ±0.01% final value - enables rapid power cycling in automated test equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5050IDR | Bandgap-based, 3ppm/°C max, 5.0V output, 1.6µVP-P noise, SO-8 package. | Lacks buried-zener ultra-stability; better for cost-sensitive, lower-precision systems. | Choose REF5050IDR if 3ppm/°C tempco suffices and lower noise floor is prioritized over long-term drift. |
| ADR4550BRZ | XFCB buried-zener, 3ppm/°C max, 5.0V output, 2.75µVP-P noise, SO-8 package. | Higher initial accuracy (±0.01%), tighter tempco, but limited to ±10mA load current. | Choose ADR4550BRZ where ±10mA drive is sufficient and tighter initial tolerance justifies premium cost. |
Compared with REF5050IDR and ADR4550BRZ, the MAX6250BCSA-T offers superior load-drive capability (±15mA) and proven industrial temperature range performance, making it optimal for high-current, high-reliability reference applications where long-term stability outweighs marginal noise improvements.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for MAX6250BCSA-T?
The MAX6250BCSA-T supports an input voltage range of 8V to 36V. Absolute maximum rating is +40V on the IN pin, but operation above 36V is not characterized and may compromise long-term reliability or parametric performance. For robust design, maintain VIN ≤ 36V under all operating conditions including transients.
Can MAX6250BCSA-T drive a 10µF output capacitor without instability?
Yes, the MAX6250BCSA-T is explicitly specified to be stable with capacitive loads from 0µF to 100µF across its full operating temperature and load current range. This eliminates the need for series isolation resistors and simplifies filtering in high-noise industrial environments where large bulk capacitance is used.
Does the TRIM pin on MAX6250BCSA-T affect temperature coefficient?
No-the external trim circuitry on the TRIM pin of MAX6250BCSA-T adjusts only the nominal output voltage and does not degrade the 5.0ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The datasheet confirms that trimming preserves the inherent thermal stability of the buried-zener core, enabling system-level calibration without sacrificing drift performance.
What is the typical supply current of MAX6250BCSA-T at +25°C?
The typical supply current of MAX6250BCSA-T is 2.5mA at +25°C and VIN = 10V. Maximum supply current is specified as 3.3mA across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range and 8V–36V input voltage range, supporting accurate power budgeting in low-power industrial sensors.
Is MAX6250BCSA-T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MAX6250BCSA-T carries the "+" suffix per Maxim's ordering nomenclature, indicating a lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant package. It uses matte tin plating on leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3), suitable for standard reflow assembly processes.
