MAX6004EUR+T

Overview

The MAX6004EUR+T is a micropower, low-dropout series voltage reference from the MAX6001–MAX6005 family. It provides a nominal output voltage of 4.096V 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 ±400µA output source and sink current capability with a dropout voltage of 200mV 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 resistors or compensation capacitors through internal design.
• Offers supply current that remains virtually independent of the supply voltage.
• Capable of sourcing and sinking up to 400µA with minimal dropout voltage.
• Stable with capacitive loads ranging from 0 to 2.2nF.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EUR+T' corresponds to the SOT-23-3 package and tape-and-reel delivery format. Confirm the '+T' designation indicates reel packaging rather than cut tape or tube. Ensure the ordering code matches the manufacturer's latest documentation to avoid discrepancies in pin configuration or thermal characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this component when board space is critical due to its SOT-23-3 footprint and lack of requirement for external compensation capacitors. It is suitable for applications requiring low power dissipation where supply voltage varies significantly. Consider the 100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 1% initial accuracy against stricter precision requirements if higher stability is needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6001–MAX6005 family of low-cost, low-power series voltage references. These devices combine the cost advantage of shunt references with the power-saving benefits of traditional series references. The family includes variants with different fixed output voltages, all sharing similar electrical characteristics and package options.

Replacement Considerations

Other members of the MAX6001–MAX6005 family may serve as substitutes if the required output voltage differs. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same SOT-23-3 package and operational temperature range to ensure mechanical and environmental compatibility without circuit redesign.
