General Description
The MAX6023 is a family of low-dropout, micropower
voltage references in a 5-bump, chip-scale package
(UCSP™). The MAX6023 series-mode (three-terminal)
references, which operate with input voltages from 2.5V
to 12.6V (1.25V and 2.048V options) or (V
OUT
+ 0.2V) to
12.6V (all other voltage options), are available with output voltage options of 1.25V, 2.048V, 2.5V, 3.0V,
4.096V, 4.5V, and 5.0V. These devices are guaranteed
an initial accuracy of ±0.2% and 30ppm/°C temperature drift over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature
range.
UCSPs offer the benefit of moving to smaller footprint
and lower profile devices, significantly smaller than even
SC70 or SOT23 plastic surface-mount packages. The
significantly lower profile (compared to plastic SMD
packages) of the UCSP makes the device ideal for
height-critical applications. Miniature UCSP packages
also enable device placement close to sources and
allow more flexibility in a complex or large design layout.
The MAX6023 voltage references use only 27µA of supply current. And unlike shunt-mode (two-terminal) references, the supply current of the MAX6023 family varies
only 0.8µA/V with supply-voltage changes, translating to
longer battery life. Additionally, these internally compensated devices do not require an external compensation
capacitor and are stable up to 2.2nF of load capacitance. The low-dropout voltage and the low supply current make these devices ideal for battery-operated
systems.

Note 1: This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the device
can be exposed to during board-level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of solder profiles recommended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and convection reflow.
Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.

Note 6: Many of the Typical Operating Characteristics of the MAX6023 family are extremely similar. The extremes of these characteristics
are found in MAX6023EBT12 (1.25V output) and the MAX6023EBT50 (5.0V output). The Typical Operating Characteristics of the
remainder of the MAX6023 family typically lie between these two extremes and can be estimated based on their output voltage.

Detailed Description
The MAX6023 precision bandgap references use a
proprietary curvature correction circuit and lasertrimmed thin-film resistor, resulting in a low temperature
coefficient of <30ppm/°C and initial accuracy of better
than 0.2%. These devices can sink and source up to
500µA with <200mV of dropout voltage, making them
attractive for use in low-voltage applications.
Applications Information
Output/Load Capacitance
The MAX6023 devices do not require an output capacitor for dynamically stable, oscillation-free operation.
They are stable for capacitive loads from 0 to 2.2nF.
However, in applications where the load or the supply
can experience step changes, an output capacitor
reduces the amount of overshoot (or undershoot) and
improves the circuit’s transient response. Many applications do not need an external capacitor and this family offers a significant advantage in these applications
when board space is critical.
Supply Current
The no-load supply current of these series-mode references is 35µA maximum, and is virtually independent
of the supply voltage, with only a 0.8µA/V variation from
the supply voltage. Unlike shunt-mode references that
must draw the maximum load current at all times, the
load current is drawn from the input voltage source only
when required, so supply current is not wasted and efficiency is maximized at all input voltages. This improved
efficiency can help reduce power dissipation and
extend battery life.
When the supply voltage is below the minimum specified input voltage (as during turn-on), the devices can
draw up to 200µA beyond the nominal supply current.
The input voltage source must be capable of providing
this current to ensure reliable turn-on.
Output Voltage Hysteresis
Output voltage hysteresis is the change in the output
voltage at TA= +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
typical temperature hysteresis value is 90ppm.
Turn-On Time
These devices typically turn on and settle within 0.1%
of their final value; 30µs to 220µs depending on the
device. The turn-on time can increase up to 1.5ms with
the device operating at the minimum dropout voltage
and the maximum load.
UCSP Information
UCSP Package Consideration
For general UCSP package information and PC layout
considerations, refer to the Maxim Application Note:
UCSP—A Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package.
UCSP Reliability
The UCSP represents a unique package that greatly
reduces board space compared to other packages.
The chip-scale package represents a unique packaging form factor that may not perform as well as a packaged product through traditional mechanical reliability
tests. UCSP reliability is integrally linked to the user’s
assembly methods, circuit board material, and usage
environment. The user should closely review these
areas when considering use of a chip-scale package.
Performance through operating-life test and moisture
resistance remains uncompromised. The wafer-fabrication process primarily determines the performance.
Mechanical stress performance is a greater consideration for chip-scale packages. Chip-scale packages are
attached through direct solder contact to the user’s PC
board, foregoing the inherent stress relief of a packaged product lead frame. Solder joint contact integrity
must be considered. Comprehensive reliability tests
have been performed and are available upon request.
In conclusion, the UCSP performs reliably through environmental stresses.
