Precision, Micropower, Low-Dropout, High-
Output-Current, SO-8 Voltage References
General Description
The MAX6161–MAX6168 are precision, low-dropout,
micropower voltage references. These three-terminal
devices operate with an input voltage range from (V
OUT
+ 200mV) to 12.6V and are available with output volt-
age options of 1.25V, 1.8V, 2.048V, 2.5V, 3V, 4.096V,
4.5V, and 5V. They feature a proprietary curvature-cor-
rection circuit and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors that
result in a very low temperature coefficient of 5ppm/°C
(max) and an initial accuracy of ±2mV (max).
Specifications apply to the extended temperature range
(-40°C to +85°C).
The MAX6161–MAX6168 typically draw only 100µA of
supply current and can source 5mA (4mA for
MAX6161) or sink 2mA of load current. Unlike conven-
tional shunt-mode (two-terminal) references that waste
supply current and require an external resistor, these
devices offer a supply current that is virtually indepen-
dent of the supply voltage (8µA/V variation) and do not
require an external resistor. Additionally, the internally
compensated devices do not require an external com-
pensation capacitor. Eliminating the external compen-
sation capacitor saves valuable board area in
space-critical applications. A low-dropout voltage and
a supply-independent, ultra-low supply current make
these devices ideal for battery-operated, high-perfor-
mance, low-voltage systems.
The MAX6161–MAX6168 are available in 8-pin SO
packages.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
