Maxim Integrated's MAX6012AEUR Precision Voltage Reference

The MAX6012AEUR from Maxim Integrated is a high-quality, precision voltage reference designed to provide a stable and accurate reference voltage for a wide range of applications. This component is particularly well-suited for high-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and other precision analog circuitry, where a stable voltage reference is critical for maintaining accuracy and consistency.

The MAX6012AEUR offers a fixed output voltage of 1.25V with an impressive initial accuracy of ±0.2%. It is characterized for the extended industrial temperature range, ensuring reliable performance under varying environmental conditions. The device also features a low temperature coefficient of 35ppm/°C (max), which contributes to its overall stability over the full operating temperature range.

With a low dropout voltage and a low supply current of 95µA (typ), this voltage reference is designed for power-sensitive applications. Its low output noise of 15µV RMS (10Hz to 100kHz) makes it an excellent choice for precision measurement systems and noise-sensitive circuits.

The MAX6012AEUR is offered in a compact SOT-23 package, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. The small footprint does not compromise its performance, as the device includes a force-sense configuration that improves accuracy by compensating for voltage drops due to the load.
