MAX6002EUR/V+T

Overview

The MAX6002EUR/V+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 features internal compensation, ensuring stability with capacitive loads up to 2.2nF without external components. The unit is housed in a SOT-23-3 package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Combines cost advantages of shunt references with power-saving benefits of series references
• Eliminates need for external biasing resistors through integrated series regulation
• Internally compensated for stable operation with capacitive loads up to 2.2nF
• Supply current remains virtually independent of input voltage variations

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '/V' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm its exact meaning regarding packaging or testing conditions. Ensure the component matches the standard MAX6002EUR+T specifications if the suffix denotes non-standard handling. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a precise 2.5V reference in space-constrained designs. It is suitable for systems where minimizing board area is critical due to the elimination of external compensation capacitors. Consider the 45µA quiescent current limit when designing for extended battery life in portable devices. Ensure the input voltage stays within the specified dropout range for optimal line regulation performance.

Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX6001–MAX6005 family of low-cost, low-power voltage references manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. These parts are designed to bridge the gap between expensive precision series references and less accurate shunt types. The family shares identical pinouts and physical dimensions, differing primarily in output voltage levels ranging from 1.25V to 5.0V.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same family include MAX6001EUR+T (1.25V), MAX6003EUR+T (3.0V), MAX6004EUR+T (4.096V), and MAX6005EUR+T (5.0V). Verify that the replacement part's output voltage matches the circuit requirements. Other series references in similar packages may require evaluation of quiescent current and dropout voltage compatibility.
