MAX6241ACSA

Overview

The MAX6241ACSA is a low-noise, precision voltage reference utilizing buried-zener technology. It provides a fixed output of 4.096V with an initial accuracy of ±0.02%. The device features a maximum temperature coefficient of 2.0ppm/°C and operates within an input voltage range of 8V to 36V. It supports source and sink currents up to 15mA and consumes approximately 3.2mA of supply current. The component is housed in an 8-pin SO package and functions reliably across a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes buried-zener technology for low noise performance
• Offers optional external trimming and noise reduction capabilities
• Provides excellent transient response and stability for all capacitive loads

Applications

• High-resolution analog-to-digital converters
• Digital-to-analog converters
• High-accuracy industrial process control systems
• Precision digital voltmeters
• Automated test equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ACSA' confirms the 8-pin SOIC package and commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). Ensure compatibility with required line and load regulation specifications for your application. Confirm RoHS compliance status if mandated by project requirements. Cross-reference pinout details against existing PCB layouts to ensure correct integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high precision and low noise are critical for data conversion systems. The buried-zener architecture ensures superior stability compared to standard bandgap references. Consider the available trim and noise reduction pins if further optimization is needed. Verify that the 8V minimum input voltage requirement aligns with the system power supply design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6225/MAX6241/MAX6250 family of precision voltage references. While sharing similar architectural features, each variant offers a distinct fixed output voltage: 2.5V, 4.096V, or 5.0V respectively. The MAX6241 specifically targets applications requiring the 4.096V level, commonly used in high-resolution ADC/DAC interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other parts from the MAX6225/MAX6241/MAX6250 family with matching package and temperature ratings. Verify that alternative components maintain comparable noise levels and temperature coefficients to ensure system performance integrity.
