Micropower, 3V voltage reference has high PSRR for portable applications
Maxim's new precision voltage reference features a 51dB (typ) PSRR at 2kHz for noisy environments; meanwhile, its ultra-low 3µA (typ) supply current extends battery life in portable electronics.
SUNNYVALE, CA—September 23, 2009—Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) introduces the MAX6010 precision, micropower voltage reference. This IC offers a high PSRR of 51dB (typ) at 2kHz to ease design of applications with electrically noisy environments. In addition, it has a low 200mV dropout voltage and an ultra-low 3µA (typ) supply current that is virtually independent of supply voltage. This configuration avoids the wasted supply current of conventional shunt-mode references and eliminates the external resistor that they require. Packaged in a 2.9mm x 2.3mm SOT23, the MAX6010 is well suited for portable and battery-operated applications such as battery-monitoring systems and lens image stabilization in high-end digital SLR cameras.
The MAX6010 operates with an input voltage from 3.2V to 5.5V, and has an output of 3.0V. The reference has an initial accuracy of ±0.2% (A grade) and ±0.4% (B grade), and temperature drift of 16ppm/°C (typ). Prices start at $0.60 (1000-up, FOB USA). Samples are available now.
