SMALLEST LOW DROPOUT 20ppm/°C SOT23 MICROPOWER REFERENCES DRIVE 5mA AND REQUIRE NO OUTPUT CAPACITORS

SUNNYVALE, CA—May 12, 2000—Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX6061–MAX6067 family of three-terminal series-mode precision voltage references. Parts in this family of 3-pin SOT23 references do not require an output capacitor, saving valuable board space. They are also stable with output/load capacitors from 0 to 1µF.

These seven new devices have output voltages of 1.250V, 2.048V, 2.500V, 3.000V, 4.096V, 4.500V, and 5.000V. Each is available in two grades of output temperature coefficient (20ppm/°C or 30ppm/°C), with initial accuracy grades of 0.2% and 0.4%. Quiescent supply currents are low (90µA) and virtually immune to voltage variations, making these SOT23 voltage references ideal for battery-powered instruments. These devices can source 5mA or sink 2mA of load current and can be used as precision voltage regulators. Prices start from $1.35 (1000-up, FOB USA).
