MAX6225BCPA+

Overview

The MAX6225BCPA+ is a low-noise, precision voltage reference utilizing buried-zener technology. It provides a fixed output of 2.5V with an initial accuracy of ±0.12% and a maximum temperature coefficient of 5ppm/°C. The device operates within an input voltage range of 8V to 36V and draws a supply current of 3mA. It supports source and sink currents up to 15mA and features optional external trimming and noise reduction capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes buried-zener technology for low noise performance
• Offers optional external trimming and noise reduction
• Stable for all capacitive loads

Applications

• High-resolution analog-to-digital converters
• Digital-to-analog converters
• High-accuracy industrial and process control systems
• Precision current sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPA+' indicates an 8-pin Plastic DIP package. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the plus sign. Ensure the operating temperature range matches the application requirements for the C-grade component. Check datasheet specifications for absolute maximum ratings before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a fixed 2.5V reference is required with high stability. The B-grade designation ensures a tighter temperature coefficient compared to A-grade variants. Consider the PDIP package for through-hole mounting needs. Evaluate load regulation requirements against the guaranteed source and sink current limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX6225/MAX6241/MAX6250 family of low-noise, precision voltage references. These devices share similar architectures but differ in nominal output voltages and specific grade accuracies. The MAX6225 variant specifically targets applications requiring a stable 2.5V reference.
