The MAX6125/MAX6141/MAX6145/MAX6150/MAX6160
low-dropout, micropower, three-terminal voltage references offer 2.5V, 4.096V, 4.5V, 5.0V, and adjustable
(1.23V to 12.4V) output voltages, respectively. Low,
200mV dropout makes these devices ideal for 3V and
5V systems. Unlike two-terminal references that waste
battery current and require an external resistor, the
MAX61xx family’s supply current is virtually independent
of input voltage variations, which translates to longer
battery life.
Initial accuracy for these devices is ±1%. The output
temperature coefficient is typically 15ppm/°C, and
guaranteed to be less than 50ppm/°C (except
for the MAX6160). The MAX6125/MAX6141/MAX6145/
MAX6150 are available in 3-pin SOT23 and 8-pin SO
packages. The MAX6160 is available in 4-pin SOT143
and 8-pin SO packages.

_____________Applications Information
Setting the MAX6160 Output Voltage
Set the output voltage on the MAX6160 by connecting
a resistor divider between OUT, ADJ, and GND
(Figure 1). Choose R1 according to the following equation:
R1 = (1.06 x 105) (V
where VTH= 1.23V. The scaling factor (1.06 x 105)
compensates for the MAX6160's change in ADJ input
current over temperature. When R1 is chosen correctly,
the change in voltage across R1 caused by the ADJ
input current is properly cancelled. Choose R1 to within
For the best line-transient performance, decouple the
input with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor, as shown in the
Typical Operating Circuit
. Locate the capacitor as
close to the device pin as possible. Where transient
performance is less important, no capacitor is
necessary.
Output Bypassing
The MAX6125/MAX6141/MAX6145/MAX6150/MAX6160
do not require an output capacitor. They are stable for
capacitive loads from 0nF to 10nF. If your application
requires an output charge reservoir (e.g., to decouple
the reference from a DAC’s input), then make sure that
the total output capacitive load does not exceed 10nF
for optimum settling-time performance.
