MAX6165AESA

Overview

The MAX6165AESA+ is a precision, micropower, low-dropout voltage reference featuring a 5.000V output with ±2mV initial accuracy and a maximum temperature coefficient of 5ppm/°C. It operates within an input voltage range from VOUT + 200mV to 12.6V, drawing a typical quiescent supply current of 100μA. The device can source up to 5mA or sink 2mA of load current while maintaining stability with capacitive loads. Packaged in an 8-pin SO format, it functions reliably across the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes proprietary curvature-correction circuitry and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors for high precision
• Features internally compensated design that eliminates the need for external compensation capacitors
• Provides supply current virtually independent of input voltage variations
• Capable of sourcing 5mA and sinking 2mA load currents

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 exact accuracy grades and temperature coefficients. Confirm package type and lead-free status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors. Ensure compatibility with system input voltage requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 5V reference is required for battery-operated systems. Consider its low dropout characteristic and micropower consumption for space-constrained designs. Evaluate thermal performance and long-term stability requirements against the specified drift characteristics.
