Ultra-Low-Power Series Voltage Reference
General Description
Features
♦ Ultra-Low 5.25µA (max) Supply Current
♦ 4mA Output Source Current
♦ 1mA Output Sink Current
The MAX6129 micropower, low-dropout bandgap volt-
age reference combines ultra-low supply current and
low drift in a miniature 5-pin SOT23 surface-mount
package that uses 70% less board space than compa-
rable devices in an SO package. This series-mode volt-
age reference sources up to 4mA and sinks up to 1mA
of load current. A wide 2.5V to 12.6V supply range,
ultra-low 5.25µA (max) supply current, and a low
200mV dropout voltage make these devices ideal for
battery-operated systems.
♦ ±±.4ꢀ (max) ꢁnitial Accuracy
♦ 4±ppm/°C (max) Temperature Coefficient
♦ 2.5V to 12.6V Supply Range
♦ Low 2±±mV Dropout
♦ Stable with Capacitive Loads Up to 1±µF
♦ No External Capacitors Required
♦ Miniature 5-Pin SOT23 Package
An initial accuracy of 0.4% and a 40ppm/°C (max) tem-
perature coefficient make the MAX6129 suitable for
precision applications. Additionally, an internal com-
pensation capacitor eliminates the need for an external
compensation capacitor and ensures stability with load
capacitances up to 10µF.
