MAX6126
General Description
The MAX6126 is an ultra-low-noise, high-precision, lowdropout voltage reference. This family of voltage references feature curvature-correction circuitry and
high-stability, laser-trimmed, thin-film resistors that
result in 3ppm/°C (max) temperature coefficients and
an excellent ±0.02% (max) initial accuracy. The proprietary low-noise reference architecture produces a low
flicker noise of 1.3µVP-P and wideband noise as low as
60nV/√Hz (2.048V output) without the increased supply
current usually found in low-noise references. Improve
wideband noise to 35nV/√Hz and AC power-supply
rejection by adding a 0.1µF capacitor at the noise
reduction pin. The MAX6126 series mode reference
operates from a wide 2.7V to 12.6V supply voltage
range and load-regulation specifications are guaranteed to be less than 0.025Ω for sink and source currents up to 10mA. These devices are available over the
automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
The MAX6126 typically draws 380µA of supply current
and is available in 2.048V, 2.500V, 3.000V, 4.096V, and
5.000V output voltages. These devices also feature
dropout voltages as low as 200mV. Unlike conventional
shunt-mode (two-terminal) references that waste supply
current and require an external resistor, the MAX6126
offers supply current that is virtually independent of
supply voltage and does not require an external resistor. The MAX6126 is stable with 0.1µF to 10µF of load
capacitance.
The MAX6126 is available in the tiny 8-pin µMAX, as
well as 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.

Note 1: Temperature coefficient is measured by the “box” method, i.e., the maximum ∆VOUT / VOUT is divided by the maximum ∆T.
Note 2: Thermal hysteresis is defined as the change in +25°C output voltage before and after cycling the device from TMAX to TMIN.
Note 3: Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum differential voltage (VIN - VOUT) at which VOUT decreases by 0.1% from its
original value at VIN = 5.0V (VIN = 5.5V for VOUT = 5.0V).

Note 5: Many of the MAX6126 Typical Operating Characteristics are extremely similar. The extremes of these characteristics are
found in the MAX6126_21 (2.048V output) and the MAX6126_50 (5.000V output). The Typical Operating Characteristics of
the remainder of the MAX6126 family typically lie between those two extremes and can be estimated based on their output
voltages.

Figure 1. Noise-Reduction Capacitor
Detailed Description
Wideband Noise Reduction
To improve wideband noise and transient power-supply
noise, add a 0.1µF capacitor to NR (Figure 1). Larger
values do not improve noise appreciably. A 0.1µF NR
capacitor reduces the noise from 60nV/√Hz to
35nV/√Hz for the 2.048V output. Noise in the powersupply input can affect output noise, but can be
reduced by adding an optional bypass capacitor
between IN and GND, as shown in the Typical
Operating Circuit.
Output Bypassing
The MAX6126 requires an output capacitor between
0.1µF and 10µF. Locate the output capacitor as close
to OUTF as possible. For applications driving switching
capacitive loads or rapidly changing load currents, it is
advantageous to use a 10µF capacitor in parallel with a
0.1µF capacitor. Larger capacitor values reduce transients on the reference output.
Supply Current
The quiescent supply current of the series-mode
MAX6126 family is typically 380µA and is virtually independent of the supply voltage, with only a 2µA/V (max)
variation with supply voltage.
When the supply voltage is below the minimum specified input voltage during turn-on, the device can draw
up to 300µA beyond the nominal supply current. The
input voltage source must be capable of providing this
current to ensure reliable turn-on.
Thermal Hysteresis
Thermal hysteresis is the change of output voltage at
TA = +25°C before and after the device is cycled over
its entire operating temperature range. The typical thermal hysteresis value is 20ppm (SO package).
Turn-On Time
These devices typically turn on and settle to within
0.1% of their final value in 200µs to 2ms depending on
the device. The turn-on time can increase up to 4ms
with the device operating at the minimum dropout voltage and the maximum load. A noise reduction capacitor of 0.1µF increases the turn-on time to 20ms.
Output Force and Sense
The MAX6126 provides independent connections for the
power-circuit output (OUTF) supplying current into a
load, and for the circuit input regulating the voltage
applied to that load (OUTS). This configuration allows for
the cancellation of the voltage drop on the lines connecting the MAX6126 and the load. When using the Kelvin
connection made possible by the independent current
and voltage connections, take the power connection to
the load from OUTF, and bring a line from OUTS to join
the line from OUTF, at the point where the voltage accu-

racy is needed. The MAX6126 has the same type of
Kelvin connection to cancel drops in the ground return
line. Connect the load to ground and bring a connection
from GNDS to exactly the same point.

Applications Information
Precision Current Source
Figure 2 shows a typical circuit providing a precision
current source. The OUTF output provides the bias current for the bipolar transistor. OUTS and GNDS sense
the voltage across the resistor and adjust the current
sourced by OUTF accordingly. For even higher precision, use a MOSFET to eliminate base current errors.

Temperature Coefficient vs. Operating
Temperature Range for a 1 LSB Maximum
Error
In a data converter application, the reference voltage of
the converter must stay within a certain limit to keep the
error in the data converter smaller than the resolution
limit through the operating temperature range. Figure 4
shows the maximum allowable reference voltage temperature coefficient to keep the conversion error to less
than 1 LSB, as a function of the operating temperature
range (TMAX - TMIN) with the converter resolution as a
parameter. The graph assumes the reference voltage
temperature coefficient as the only parameter affecting
accuracy.
In reality, the absolute static accuracy of a data converter is dependent on the combination of many parameters such as integral nonlinearity, differential
nonlinearity, offset error, gain error, as well as voltage
reference changes.
