MAX6037CAUK30-T

Overview

The MAX6037CAUK30-T is a low-power, fixed-output series voltage reference manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It provides a stable 3 V output with an initial accuracy of ±0.5%. The device operates within an input voltage range of 1.8 V to 6 V and features a maximum shunt current of 5 mA. It is housed in a compact SOT-23-5 surface-mount package and supports operation across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides a precise fixed 3 V output suitable for high-accuracy analog circuits
• Operates efficiently at low quiescent currents to extend battery life
• Maintains stability over a wide industrial temperature range

Applications

• Portable instrumentation requiring stable reference voltages
• Battery-powered measurement systems
• Data acquisition channels needing accurate voltage references

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm that the 'C' grade corresponds to the required ±0.5% initial accuracy for your design. Ensure the supplier source is authorized to guarantee component authenticity and traceability. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 3 V reference is needed in a small SOT-23-5 footprint. It is appropriate for designs prioritizing low power consumption alongside moderate precision. Consider the ±0.5% tolerance and temperature coefficient limits against your system's error budget before finalizing the part choice.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6037 family of low-power voltage references. It shares the same physical package and general functionality as other variants in the series but differs in output voltage and accuracy grades. The MAX6037 series is designed for applications where space and power efficiency are critical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must match the 3 V output, SOT-23-5 package, and similar electrical characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before replacing.
