MAX6062AEUR+T

Overview

The MAX6062AEUR+T is a precision, micropower, low-dropout voltage reference featuring a fixed output of 2.048V. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.5V to 12.6V and maintains an initial accuracy of ±0.24% with a maximum temperature coefficient of 20ppm/°C. The device draws a typical quiescent supply current of 90µA and can source up to 5mA or sink 2mA of load current. It functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Proprietary curvature-correction circuit combined with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors ensures high precision and stability.
• Series-mode architecture eliminates the need for external biasing resistors required by conventional shunt references.
• Internally compensated design removes the requirement for external compensation capacitors, saving board space.
• Supply current remains virtually independent of the input voltage, optimizing efficiency in battery-powered systems.

Applications

• Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs)
• Portable Battery-Powered Systems
• Precision 3V/5V Systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific lot traceability requirements. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level guidelines to prevent package damage prior to soldering. Review datasheet revisions for any potential pinout or electrical specification updates.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a stable 2.048V reference is needed in a compact SOT-23-3 package. It is suitable for applications requiring low quiescent current and high accuracy without external components. Consider the dropout voltage characteristics relative to the minimum available supply voltage. Evaluate thermal performance if operating near the upper temperature limit.
