MAX6037CAUK25-T

Overview

The MAX6037CAUK25-T is a fixed-output series voltage reference from the MAX6037 family, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It provides a precise 2.5 V output with an initial accuracy of 0.5% and a temperature coefficient of 6 PPM/C. The device operates within an input voltage range up to 6 V and supports a maximum shunt current of 5 mA. It functions reliably across an extended industrial temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. Packaged in a compact SOT-23-5 surface-mount format, it is designed for low-power applications requiring stable voltage regulation.

Feature Summary

• Provides a fixed 2.5 V output with high precision
• Features low temperature drift for stability
• Includes shutdown capability for power management

Applications

• Portable instrumentation systems
• Battery-powered measurement devices
• Data acquisition channels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm the manufacturer designation as Analog Devices or Maxim Integrated on the component marking. Ensure the part number matches the exact 2.5 V variant to avoid confusion with other fixed outputs in the MAX6037 series. Check RoHS compliance documentation for environmental requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 2.5 V reference is required in space-constrained designs. The SOT-23-5 package offers a small footprint suitable for portable electronics. Consider the 0.5% initial accuracy and 6 PPM/C drift for precision analog circuits. Verify that the 5 mA load current meets the system's reference drive requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6037 series of low-power voltage references. The series includes both fixed and adjustable output variants. The CAUK prefix denotes the specific temperature grade and package type. The MAX6037 family is designed for applications demanding high accuracy and low quiescent current in compact form factors.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-reference parts within the MAX6037 family offering different fixed voltages if 2.5 V is unavailable. Verify pinout compatibility with the SOT-23-5 package before substituting with other manufacturers' voltage references.
