MAX6341EPA+

Overview

The MAX6341EPA+ is a buried-zener precision voltage reference providing a fixed 4.096V output in an 8-pin Plastic DIP package. It features a maximum temperature coefficient of 1.5ppm/°C and ±0.02% initial accuracy over the -40°C to +85°C operating range. The device supports source and sink currents up to 15mA with low noise performance.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes buried-zener technology for ultra-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 current sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EPA' confirms the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and PDIP-8 package type. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated on the manufacturer's official documentation before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing high-resolution data-conversion systems requiring stable references. Ensure input voltage remains within the 8V to 36V range and verify load requirements do not exceed the 15mA sourcing or sinking limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6325/MAX6341/MAX6350 family of 1ppm/°C, low-noise voltage references. The MAX6341 variant specifically provides a 4.096V output, distinguishing it from the 2.5V and 5V options within the same series.
