MAX6350EPA

Overview

The MAX6350EPA is a buried-zener series voltage reference providing a fixed +5V output. It features an initial accuracy of ±0.02% and a maximum temperature coefficient of 1.5ppm/°C across the -40°C to +85°C operating range. The device supports ±15mA source and sink currents with an input voltage range of 8V to 36V. Electrical characteristics include a typical supply current of 3.3mA, 10µs turn-on settling time, and low noise performance.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes buried-zener technology for ultra-low noise performance
• Provides external trimming capability via dedicated TRIM pin
• Capable of sourcing and sinking up to 15mA load current
• Maintains stability with capacitive loads ranging from 0µF to 100µF

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' corresponds to the Plastic DIP package and the -40°C to +85°C temperature grade. Confirm that the ordering information matches the manufacturer's current datasheet revision, as legacy part numbers may have superseded specifications or packaging updates.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable +5V reference is required for high-precision applications. The buried-zener architecture ensures superior noise performance compared to bandgap references. Ensure the input voltage remains within the 8V to 36V range to maintain regulation and linearity.

Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX6325/MAX6341/MAX6350 family of precision voltage references. While sharing identical pinouts and core technologies, the MAX6350 is specifically configured for a 5V output, distinguishing it from the 2.5V (MAX6325) and 4.096V (MAX6341) variants in the same series.
