MAX6141ESA+T

Overview

The MAX6141ESA+T is a low-dropout, micropower three-terminal voltage reference providing a fixed 4.096V output. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.3V to 12.6V and delivers an initial accuracy of ±1%. The device features a typical temperature coefficient of 15ppm/°C, guaranteed under 50ppm/°C across the -40°C to +85°C operating range. Quiescent supply current is approximately 78µA at +25°C, remaining virtually independent of input voltage variations. It utilizes an 8-pin SO package.

Feature Summary

• Low dropout voltage capability suitable for 3V and 5V systems
• Micropower consumption with supply current independent of input voltage
• High precision with ±1% initial accuracy and low temperature drift
• Stable operation with capacitive loads up to 10nF

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation. Ensure ordering suffixes match specific packaging requirements. Validate datasheet revision against the delivered product specifications. Check for any regional distribution restrictions prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 4.096V reference is required in space-constrained designs. The 8-pin SO package offers a compact footprint compared to larger alternatives. Consider the low quiescent current for battery-operated applications where power efficiency is critical. Verify that the input voltage range accommodates the system's supply rails.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX61xx family of low-cost, low-dropout voltage references manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. The family includes variants with different fixed output voltages (2.5V, 4.5V, 5.0V) and an adjustable version. All members share similar electrical characteristics and package options, designed for high-precision analog circuitry.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include MAX6125ESA+T (2.5V), MAX6145ESA+T (4.5V), and MAX6150ESA+T (5.0V). These parts share identical pinouts and electrical performance profiles, differing only in their preset output voltage levels.
