MAX6241BESA

Overview

The MAX6241BESA is a low-noise, precision voltage reference utilizing buried-zener technology. It provides a fixed output of 4.096V with ±0.02% initial accuracy and a maximum temperature coefficient of 7ppm/°C. The device operates within an input voltage range of 8V to 36V and supports source/sink currents up to 15mA. It features optional noise reduction and external voltage trimming capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Buried-zener technology for lowest noise performance
• Optional noise reduction and voltage trim
• Stable for all capacitive loads

Applications

• High-Resolution Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog Converters
• High-Accuracy Reference Standard
• High-Accuracy Industrial and Process Control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates the -40°C to +85°C operating range and 'S' denotes the SO package. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the '+' symbol in ordering codes. Ensure the selected variant matches the required temperature coefficient limits for your application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high stability and low noise are critical for precision measurement systems. Consider the 8-pin SO package for surface-mount applications requiring industry-standard pinouts. Evaluate the need for external trimming if tighter voltage tolerances than the standard ±0.02% are required.

Part Context

Part of the MAX6225/MAX6241/MAX6250 family of low-noise precision voltage references. Shares identical pinouts and core technologies across the series, differing primarily in output voltage (2.5V, 4.096V, 5V) and temperature grade specifications.

Replacement Considerations

MAX6241AESA+ offers similar functionality with a lower maximum temperature coefficient of 3ppm/°C in the same package.
