MAX6041AEUR

Overview

The MAX6041AEUR is a precision, low-dropout, micropower voltage reference IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (formerly Maxim Integrated). It provides a fixed output voltage of 4.096V with an initial accuracy of ±0.2% and a temperature coefficient of less than 15ppm/°C. The device operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a miniature SOT-23-3 surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Features proprietary curvature-correction circuitry for enhanced thermal stability
• Utilizes laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve high initial accuracy
• Designed for low-power applications with micropower consumption characteristics

Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring low power consumption
• Precision analog-to-digital converter (ADC) references
• Digital-to-analog converter (DAC) voltage sources
• Portable instrumentation systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with system requirements regarding input voltage headroom and load current capabilities before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact footprint and low quiescent current are critical alongside moderate precision requirements. Consider the SOT-23-3 package constraints for thermal management and board space limitations in portable designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX60xx series of micropower voltage references. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the MAX6021 and MAX6045, offering consistent performance metrics across the family while differing primarily in output voltage options and specific package availability.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with MAX6041AEUR+T or MAX6041AEUR-T for potential supply chain alternatives. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment with equivalent offerings from Analog Devices or Maxim Integrated.
