MAX6002EUR-T

Overview

The MAX6002EUR-T is a micropower, low-dropout series voltage reference from the MAX6001–MAX6005 family. It provides a fixed output voltage of 2.5V with a maximum initial accuracy of 1% and a temperature coefficient of 100ppm/°C. The device operates within an input voltage range of (VOUT + 0.2V) to 12.6V and draws a maximum quiescent supply current of 45µA. It supports ±400µA output source and sink currents with a dropout voltage of 100mV at 400µA load. The component is housed in a SOT-23-3 package and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Eliminates the need for external biasing resistors required by conventional shunt references
• Internally compensated design that does not require external compensation capacitors
• Supply current remains virtually independent of the supply voltage
• Capable of sourcing and sinking up to 400µA with minimal dropout voltage

Applications

• Portable and battery-powered equipment
• Notebook computers
• PDAs, GPSs, and digital multimeters
• Cellular phones
• Hard-disk drives

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the '+T' variant availability if lead-free compliance is required. Ensure the input voltage source can provide transient currents during turn-on to guarantee reliable operation under minimum dropout conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring a fixed 2.5V reference in space-constrained designs due to the SOT-23-3 footprint. It is suitable for systems where power efficiency is critical, as it avoids the constant current draw associated with shunt references. Verify that the load capacitance remains within the stable range of 0 to 2.2nF without additional components.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX6001–MAX6005 family of low-cost, low-power series voltage references manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. The family shares identical pinouts and general electrical characteristics, differing primarily in their fixed output voltage levels ranging from 1.25V to 5.0V.

Replacement Considerations

Other members of the MAX6001–MAX6005 family share the same package and pin configuration but offer different output voltages.
