MAX6150EUR-T

Overview

The MAX6150EUR-T is a low-dropout, micropower, three-terminal voltage reference providing a fixed 5.0V output in a 3-pin SOT23 package. It operates with a supply voltage range of 5.2V to 12.6V and draws a quiescent current of approximately 80µA at +25°C. The device features an initial accuracy of ±1% and a typical temperature coefficient of 15ppm/°C. Designed for stable operation across capacitive loads up to 10nF without external compensation, it supports continuous output short-circuit conditions.

Feature Summary

• Low dropout voltage capability suitable for 3V and 5V systems
• Micropower consumption independent of input voltage variations
• Stable operation with all capacitive loads up to 10nF

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Ensure compatibility with system input voltage requirements, as the MAX6150 requires a minimum supply voltage above its fixed output level. Confirm RoHS compliance status through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 5.0V precision reference is required in a compact surface-mount footprint. Consider the maximum allowable temperature coefficient if high-precision applications are involved. Evaluate the power budget carefully, as the quiescent current remains relatively constant regardless of load conditions. Verify that the available input voltage headroom accommodates the specified dropout voltage under all operating scenarios.

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, 4.096V, 4.5V) and an adjustable version. All members share similar architectural characteristics, including micropower operation and stability with capacitive loads, but differ in their specific output voltage targets and pin configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the MAX6125EUR-T (2.5V), MAX6141EUR-T (4.096V), and MAX6145EUR-T (4.5V). These parts share identical pinouts and packaging but provide different fixed output voltages. Cross-family replacements require verification of pin compatibility, output voltage matching, and electrical performance specifications.
