MAX6250ACPA

Overview

The MAX6250ACPA is a low-noise, precision voltage reference featuring buried-zener technology. It provides a fixed output of 5.000V with ±0.02% initial accuracy and a maximum temperature coefficient of 2.0ppm/°C. The device operates within an input voltage range of 8V to 36V and draws a supply current of 3.3mA. It supports source and sink currents up to 15mA and offers optional external trimming and noise reduction capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes buried-zener technology for minimal noise performance
• Provides excellent line and load regulation with low output impedance
• Supports optional external voltage trimming and noise reduction

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPA' corresponds to the 8-pin Plastic DIP package and the 'A' grade indicates the required temperature coefficient limits. Confirm that the component meets the necessary lead-free or RoHS compliance requirements if mandated by the design specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high stability and low noise are critical for data conversion systems. Ensure the input voltage remains between 8V and 36V. Consider the ±15mA current capability for driving loads directly. Verify that the 8-pin PDIP package fits the board layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6225/MAX6241/MAX6250 family of low-noise, precision voltage references manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. These devices share identical pinouts and features but differ in their fixed output voltages, with the MAX6250 specifically providing a 5V reference.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX6250AEPA+ serves as a verified replacement offering extended temperature range capabilities (-40°C to +85°C) while maintaining similar electrical characteristics.
