MAX6037CAUKADJ+T

Overview

The MAX6037CAUKADJ+T is a low-dropout, micropower voltage reference from Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated. It provides an adjustable output voltage ranging from 1.184V to 5V via an external resistive divider. The device operates on a supply voltage between 2.5V and 5.5V with a maximum quiescent current of 275µA. It features a shutdown mode reducing current to under 500nA. The unit offers an initial accuracy of ±0.5% and a temperature coefficient of 50ppm/°C. It supports sourcing and sinking up to 5mA of load current within a 5-pin SOT-23 package.

Feature Summary

• Adjustable output voltage configuration using external resistors
• Active-low shutdown functionality for power conservation
• Low dropout voltage operation suitable for battery-powered systems
• Capacitive-load stability range supporting small output capacitors

Applications

• Medical Equipment
• Portable Equipment
• Wireless LAN Systems
• Precision Regulators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CAUKADJ' to confirm the C-grade accuracy (±0.5%) and adjustable output variant. Ensure the '+T' designation matches the required tape-and-reel packaging format. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration into production designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an adjustable reference voltage is required alongside low-power consumption. The C-grade specification provides balanced accuracy for general-purpose applications. Consider the 50ppm/°C temperature coefficient against environmental operating conditions. Verify that the input voltage range accommodates the system's supply variations during operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6037 family of low-power voltage references. The family includes fixed-output variants and other accuracy grades such as A and B. The CAUKADJ designation specifically identifies the adjustable version with C-grade performance specifications. All variants share the same physical footprint and pin configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must match the SOT-23-5 package and provide comparable adjustable voltage ranges. Verify that alternative devices support similar shutdown currents and output drive capabilities. Cross-reference temperature coefficients and initial accuracy requirements to ensure functional equivalence in the target application.
