Maxim Integrated MAX6018BEUR18-T Voltage Reference

The MAX6018BEUR18-T is a precision, low-power, low-dropout voltage reference from Maxim Integrated. This component is designed to provide a stable and accurate reference voltage for various applications in the electronics industry, particularly those requiring high precision with minimal power consumption. The MAX6018BEUR18-T is a reliable choice for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and other sensitive electronic circuits.

Featuring a fixed output voltage of 1.8V, the MAX6018BEUR18-T maintains its accuracy over a wide range of operating conditions. The device offers an impressive initial accuracy of ±0.2% and can maintain its performance with a temperature coefficient as low as 35ppm/°C. This ensures that the reference voltage remains constant over the full operating temperature range, which is critical for applications where precision is paramount.

The MAX6018BEUR18-T operates from an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it versatile for use in systems with varying supply voltages. Its low dropout voltage allows it to function effectively even when the supply voltage is very close to the output voltage, which helps in conserving power in battery-operated devices. Additionally, its quiescent current is remarkably low, typically at 95µA, which further enhances its suitability for portable and low-power applications.

Maxim Integrated has packaged the MAX6018BEUR18-T in a small, 3-pin SOT-23 package, which is ideal for space-constrained designs. The compact form factor does not compromise the performance and reliability that designers have come to expect from Maxim Integrated products. Furthermore, the device is specified for the extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, providing robust performance in diverse environmental conditions.

Overall, the MAX6018BEUR18-T is a high-quality, stable voltage reference that combines precision, low power consumption, and a small footprint, making it an excellent choice for precision analog applications across various industries, including automation, telecommunications, and consumer electronics.
