MAX6250BEPA+

Overview

The MAX6250BEPA+ is a low-noise, precision voltage reference utilizing buried-zener technology. It provides a fixed 5V output with ±0.02% initial accuracy and a maximum temperature coefficient of 7ppm/°C. The device operates within an extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and accepts input voltages from 8V to 36V. It supports source and sink currents up to 15mA, features a Plastic DIP-8 package, and includes optional noise reduction and external voltage trimming capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Buried-zener technology for lowest noise performance
• Excellent transient response and stability for all capacitive loads
• Optional noise reduction and voltage trim functionality

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 'E' confirms the -40°C to +85°C operating range and 'P' indicates the PDIP package. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the '+' suffix. Check manufacturer discontinuation notices or lifecycle status before finalizing procurement plans due to potential availability constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high precision and low noise are required in a through-hole package. Ensure the input voltage remains between 8V and 36V. Consider the B-grade accuracy if tighter tolerances than A-grade are needed. Verify that the 15mA load capability meets system requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6225/MAX6241/MAX6250 family of low-noise, precision voltage references. While sharing core architecture and pinouts, it is distinguished by its fixed 5V output voltage, unlike the 2.5V MAX6225 or 4.096V MAX6241 variants.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements include other MAX6250 variants such as MAX6250BCSA+ (SOIC package) or MAX6250ACPA+ (different temp grade). Verify package type and temperature range compatibility.
