Product details
Overview
MAX6350ESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5.000V buried-zener voltage reference IC with ±0.02% initial accuracy, 1.5ppm/°C max temperature coefficient (–40°C to +85°C), and 3.0µVp-p (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise-designed for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in industrial instrumentation and ATE systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6350ESA+ datasheet, MAX6350ESA+ pinout, MAX6350ESA+ application, or MAX6350ESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5V output stability under ±15mA load, optional external trim capability, low 3.3mA supply current, and SO-8 package compatibility with legacy layout footprints.
Technical Context
The MAX6350ESA+ employs buried-zener core technology with on-chip temperature compensation to achieve laboratory-grade stability without heater power. Its output voltage is trimmed via an internal resistor network referenced to the TRIM pin, enabling ±30mV adjustment without degrading tempco performance.
It delivers stable regulation across 8V–36V input range with guaranteed line regulation ≤18ppm/V and load regulation ≤7ppm/mA, while maintaining low 0.1Ω output impedance at 10kHz-critical for driving capacitive loads up to 100µF in high-speed data acquisition circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±1mV at +25°C - enables direct interface with 16-bit SAR ADCs requiring <±0.5LSB reference error |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.02% - eliminates need for system-level calibration in precision digital voltmeters |
| Tempco (max) | 1.5ppm/°C over –40°C to +85°C - ensures <±80ppm drift across full industrial temperature range |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 3.0µVp-p - supports <18-bit ENOB in sigma-delta converters without external filtering |
| Load Current | ±15mA sourcing/sinking - drives multiple op-amp buffers or multiplexed DAC references simultaneously |
| Supply Current | 3.3mA typical - compatible with low-power isolated supplies in portable test equipment |
| Long-Term Stability | 30ppm/1000hr - maintains calibration integrity in unattended ATE systems over extended runtime |
Pinout & Package
MAX6350ESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package compliant with JEDEC MS-012, with 1.27mm pitch and exposed pad not connected internally. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 2) | Positive supply input | Accepts 8V–36V unregulated input; requires ≥2.2µF bypass capacitor for ripple rejection |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog ground reference | Must be star-connected to system AGND; separates reference return from digital switching currents |
| NR (Pin 3) | Noise reduction node | Connects to 1µF capacitor to reduce wideband noise; open-circuit if unused |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Precision 5V output | Low-impedance source capable of driving 100µF capacitive loads without oscillation |
| TRIM (Pin 5) | External voltage adjust | Accepts 0–5V control signal or potentiometer wiper to fine-tune output ±30mV |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Buried-zener core | Delivers lowest intrinsic noise (3.0µVp-p) and highest long-term stability (30ppm/1000hr) among SO-8 voltage references |
| Optional noise reduction | 1µF capacitor on NR pin reduces 10Hz–100kHz noise by >20dB without affecting DC accuracy |
| External trim capability | ±30mV adjustment range via TRIM pin preserves ±0.02% initial accuracy and 1.5ppm/°C tempco |
| Capacitive load immunity | Stable with 0–100µF output capacitance-eliminates need for series isolation resistors in multi-channel systems |
| Industry-standard SO-8 footprint | Direct replacement for legacy references (e.g., REF5050) without PCB redesign |

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 | Higher 3ppm/°C max tempco; 4.5µVp-p noise; 2.5mA supply current | Limited to 10mA load; no TRIM pin; requires external buffer for >100pF loads | Lower cost where ±0.05% accuracy suffices and board space allows larger SO-8 variant |
| ADR4550BRZ | Lower 0.9ppm/°C max tempco; 2.75µVp-p noise; 4.2mA supply current | Requires 10µF NR capacitor; no internal trim; higher 5.5V min input voltage | Preferred for metrology-grade systems needing <±20ppm total drift but accepting higher quiescent power |
Compared with REF5050IDR and ADR4550BRZ, the MAX6350ESA+ uniquely balances ultra-low noise, factory-trimmed 5V output, and ±15mA drive in a standard SO-8-making it optimal for space-constrained ATE and portable instrumentation where trim flexibility and capacitive load robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX6350ESA+?
The MAX6350ESA+ has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 40V on the IN pin. However, the recommended operating input voltage range is 8V to 36V. Operation above 36V risks exceeding thermal limits and degrading long-term stability-even if within absolute maximum ratings-so design margins should maintain VIN ≤36V under all conditions including transients.
Can the MAX6350ESA+ drive a 100µF output capacitor without instability?
Yes, the MAX6350ESA+ is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with output capacitive loads from 0µF to 100µF across full temperature and load ranges. This eliminates the need for series isolation resistors or ferrite beads in applications like multi-channel DAC reference distribution, where large bulk capacitance is used to suppress supply-induced noise coupling.
Does the TRIM pin on the MAX6350ESA+ affect temperature coefficient performance?
No, the TRIM pin on the MAX6350ESA+ enables ±30mV output adjustment without degrading temperature coefficient performance. The internal trimming circuitry uses ratio-matched components that track with temperature, preserving the specified 1.5ppm/°C max tempco across the full trim range-verified in the datasheet's electrical characteristics table under "Trim-Adjustment Range" conditions.
What is the typical turn-on settling time for the MAX6350ESA+?
At +25°C, the MAX6350ESA+ achieves turn-on settling to ±0.01% of final value in 10µs when powered from 10V input with no external capacitors. This fast settling supports high-throughput ATE applications where reference stabilization time directly impacts test cycle duration-confirmed in Figure 24 of the MAX6325/MAX6341/MAX6350 datasheet.
Is the MAX6350ESA+ RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MAX6350ESA+ is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "+" suffix in the part number denotes lead-free packaging per Maxim Integrated's standard qualification-verified in the official ordering information table, which lists MAX6350ESA+ as the RoHS-compliant version of the SO-8 packaged device rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
