The MAX6025BEUR from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision, low-dropout, micropower voltage reference. This component is part of a series of low-dropout, micropower voltage references that are available in a tiny SOT23 surface-mount package. The MAX6025BEUR variant provides a fixed reference voltage of 2.5V, which is a common voltage reference used in various analog circuits.
This voltage reference is designed for high-accuracy and stable operation across a wide range of temperatures and power supply conditions. It boasts an initial accuracy of ±0.2% and a low temperature coefficient of 75ppm/°C (max), ensuring reliability and precision in critical applications.
The MAX6025BEUR operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V supply, consuming a low 95μA (typ) supply current, which makes it suitable for battery-powered and portable devices. The low dropout voltage of the device allows it to function properly even when the input supply is very close to the output voltage, providing additional flexibility in design.
With its ability to source 5mA and sink 1mA of load current, the MAX6025BEUR is versatile enough for a wide range of applications, including A/D and D/A converters, portable instrumentation, and battery-operated equipment. The no-load stability ensures that the output voltage remains consistent without the need for an external load, which can be particularly useful in low-power devices.
For enhanced stability, the MAX6025BEUR is designed to be used with a minimum of 0.1μF of capacitive load. This voltage reference also features a force and sense connection that allows for remote voltage sensing, compensating for voltage drops due to PCB trace resistance, ensuring that the correct voltage is delivered to the load.
Maxim Integrated's commitment to quality and reliability is evident in the MAX6025BEUR, making it a smart choice for designers seeking a compact, high-performance voltage reference solution.
