General Description
The MAX6006–MAX6009 ultra-low-power shunt references are ideal for space-critical and low-power applications. They are offered in 3-pin SOT23 packages,
and the minimum operating current is guaranteed to be
<1µA. The devices feature low temperature coefficients
of <30ppm/°C and initial accuracy of better than 0.2%.
Available in +1.25V, +2.048V, +2.5V, and 3V output
voltages, the MAX6006–MAX6009 have references of
+1.25V, +2.048V, +2.5V, and +3.0V, respectively. The
devices can be used as lower-power, higher-precision
upgrades to the ICL8069, LM385, LT1004, and LM4040
references. The MAX6006–MAX6009 are available in
two grades: A and B. The A grade features a temperature coefficient of 30ppm/°C over the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, with an initial accuracy
of 0.2%. Grade B features a temperature coefficient of
75ppm/°C with an initial accuracy of 0.5%. MAX6006
in+1.25V and MAX6008 in +2.5V are offered in 8-pin
SOIC packages, as plug in upgrades for LT1004 and
LM285.

Detailed Description
The MAX6006–MAX6009 are precision, two-terminal,
series bandgap voltage references. On-chip thin-film
resistors are laser trimmed to provide 0.2% output voltage accuracies. Voltages of +1.25V, +2.048V,+2.5V,
and +3.0V are available in the space-saving SOT23
package (2.1mm ✕2.7mm).
Applications Information
Output/Load Capacitance
For devices in this family, OUT needs to be bypassed
to GND with a 0.01µF or larger capacitor. In applications where the load or the supply can experience step
changes, additional capacitance will reduce the
amount of overshoot (or undershoot) and assist the circuit’s transient response.
Output Voltage Hysteresis
Output voltage hysteresis is the change in the output
voltage at T
A
= +25°C before and after the device is
cycled over its entire operating temperature range.
Hysteresis is caused by differential package stress
appearing across the bandgap core transistors. The
temperature hysteresis value is typically less than
200ppm.
Turn-On Time
The output capacitance and bias current of the
MAX6006–MAX6009 greatly affects turn-on settling
time. In the Typical Operating Characteristics, turn-on
time is shown with a 10nF output capacitor and a 1.2µA
bias current. Under these conditions, the MAX6006–
MAX6009 settle in 40ms. Settling time will linearly
decrease in proportion to the circuit’s bias current.
Typical Applications
In the typical shunt regulator application shown in
Figure 1, R
BIAS
is used to set the current through the
load (IL) and the current through the shunt regulator
(I
RMIN
). There are two worst-case situations that R
BIAS
needs to be sized for:
1) R
BIAS
must be small enough that when VS(supply
voltage) is at its minimum and ILis at its maximum,
I
RMIN
is equal to at least the minimum operating
current of the shunt regulator.
2) R
BIAS
must be large enough that when VSis at its
maximum and ILis at its minimum, I
RMIN
is <2mA.
