MAX6120EUR+T

Overview

The MAX6120EUR+T is a low-cost, micropower, precision three-terminal voltage reference providing a fixed 1.2V output in a SOT-23-3 package. It operates from an input voltage range of 2.4V to 11V with a maximum supply current of 70µA, typically 50µA, independent of the input voltage. The device offers ±1% initial accuracy and a typical temperature coefficient of 30ppm/°C, guaranteed less than 100ppm/°C. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Micropower operation with supply current independent of input voltage over temperature
• Low dropout capability operating from supply voltages as low as 2.4V
• Precision performance with high initial accuracy and low temperature coefficient
• Compact three-pin SOT-23 surface-mount package

Applications

• Battery-powered systems requiring power conservation
• Portable and hand-held equipment
• Data-acquisition systems
• Instrumentation and process control

Procurement Notes

Verify the component matches the exact Maxim Integrated part number MAX6120EUR+T. Confirm the SOT-23-3 package type and the specific electrical characteristics for the EUR suffix variant. Ensure the supplier provides valid documentation confirming compliance with the original manufacturer specifications before integration into designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing battery-operated circuits where minimizing quiescent current is critical. It serves as a low-power alternative to two-terminal shunt references by eliminating the need for external series resistors. The fixed 1.2V output is suitable for applications requiring a stable reference without additional scaling circuitry.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX6120 family of precision voltage references manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. It is specifically designed for applications demanding low power consumption alongside high accuracy. The EUR suffix indicates the SOT-23-3 package configuration intended for surface-mount assembly.

Replacement Considerations

For guaranteed temperature coefficients below 50ppm/°C, consult the MAX6520 datasheet. Higher-grade options with lower temperature coefficients may be available upon direct contact with the factory.
