MAX6008AESA+T

Overview

The MAX6008AESA+T is a precision shunt voltage reference with a nominal output of +2.5V, housed in an 8-pin SO package. It belongs to the MAX6006–MAX6009 family and features Grade A specifications, including an initial accuracy of 0.2% and a maximum temperature coefficient of 30ppm/°C over the -40°C to +85°C range. The device operates within a wide current range from 1µA to 2mA, ensuring stable performance in low-power applications.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-low operating current guaranteed below 1µA
• High initial voltage accuracy of 0.2%
• Low temperature coefficient of 30ppm/°C max
• Factory-trimmed for precise output voltages

Applications

• Battery-powered equipment
• Portable meters
• Precision regulators
• A/D and D/A converters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 8-pin SO format. Cross-reference thermal resistance values during layout planning to maintain safe junction temperatures under expected load conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require an 8-pin SO footprint instead of the standard SOT23. Choose the Grade A variant for designs demanding tighter tolerance limits and superior thermal stability compared to Grade B options. Confirm that the required bias current remains within the specified operational window for optimal noise performance.

Part Context

This part is manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated following the acquisition of Maxim Integrated. It serves as a high-precision alternative to legacy references like the LT1004 and LM285. The device utilizes BiCMOS process technology and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve its specified electrical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

The datasheet identifies the MAX6008AESA+ as a direct plug-in upgrade for the LT1004 and LM285. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution.
