MAX6162BESA+

Overview

The MAX6162BESA+ is a precision, micropower, low-dropout series voltage reference in an 8-pin SO package. It provides a fixed output of 2.048V with an initial accuracy of ±5mV and a maximum temperature coefficient of 10ppm/°C. The device operates within an input voltage range of 2.248V to 12.6V and draws a typical quiescent supply current of 100µA. It can source up to 5mA or sink 2mA of load current while maintaining stability without requiring external compensation capacitors.

Feature Summary

• Proprietary curvature-correction circuitry ensures high precision across the operating temperature range
• Low dropout design allows operation with minimal headroom between input and output voltages
• Micropower architecture maintains stable performance with virtually independent supply current
• Internally compensated for stability without the need for external capacitors

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official documentation to confirm the exact initial accuracy and temperature coefficient grades. Confirm that the 8-pin SO package matches the target footprint requirements. Ensure the input voltage supply remains within the specified operational limits to maintain guaranteed line regulation and thermal stability during deployment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 2.048V reference is required for space-constrained designs. The internal compensation eliminates the need for external capacitors, reducing board area. Verify that the system input voltage exceeds the minimum dropout requirement at the expected load current to ensure proper regulation and transient response performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6161–MAX6168 family of precision voltage references manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. The family shares common architectural features including micropower consumption and low-dropout capabilities. Variations within the family are distinguished primarily by their fixed output voltage levels and specific accuracy grades defined by the ordering suffixes.

Replacement Considerations

Other members of the MAX6161–MAX6168 family may serve as functional replacements if the output voltage and accuracy specifications align with the application requirements.
