MAX6008BESA

Overview

The MAX6008BESA is a precision shunt voltage reference manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5V to 36V and delivers a nominal output voltage of 2.5V with an initial accuracy of ±0.5%. The device features a low temperature coefficient of 10ppm/°C over the industrial operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It draws a maximum quiescent current of 1µA and is housed in a compact SOT-23 surface-mount package.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific ordering suffixes match project requirements. Check datasheet revisions for any updates to electrical characteristics or mechanical dimensions before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, low-power shunt reference is required. Ensure the load current requirements do not exceed the device's thermal dissipation capabilities. Verify that the input voltage remains within the specified operational limits to maintain regulation accuracy.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6008 series of precision shunt voltage references designed for space-constrained applications. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to higher-priced bandgap references while maintaining sufficient accuracy for general-purpose analog circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other MAX6008 variants such as MAX6008AEUA+ or MAX6008BEUA+ for different accuracy grades or package types. Ensure pinout compatibility and thermal performance meet system constraints.
