MAX6161–MAX6168
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 (VOUT
+ 200mV) to 12.6V and are available with output voltage
options of 1.25V, 1.8V, 2.048V, 2.5V, 3V, 4.096V, 4.5V,
and 5V. They feature a proprietary curvature-correction
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 conventional shuntmode (two-terminal) references that waste supply
current and require an external resistor, these devices
offer a supply current that is virtually independent
of the supply voltage (8μA/V variation) and do not
require an external resistor. Additionally, the internally
compensated devices do not require an external compensation
capacitor. Eliminating the external compensation 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 batteryoperated, high-performance, low-voltage systems.

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: 100% production tested at TA = +25°C. Guaranteed by design for TA = -40°C to +85°C.
Note 2: Temperature Coefficient is specified by the “box” method; i.e., the maximum ΔVOUT is divided by the maximum ΔT.
Note 3: Thermal Hysteresis is defined as the change in TA = +25°C output voltage before and after temperature cycling of the
device (from TA = TMIN to TMAX). Initial measurement at TA = +25°C is followed by temperature cycling the device to
TA = +85°C then to TA = -40°C, and another measurement at TA = +25°C is compared to the original measurement at
TA = +25°C.
Note 4: Dropout voltage is the minimum input voltage at which VOUT changes ≤ 0.2% from VOUT at VIN = 5.0V
(VIN = 5.5V for MAX6165).

Note 5: Many of the Typical Operating Characteristics of the MAX6161 family are extremely similar. The extremes of these characteristics
are found in the MAX6161 (1.25V output) and the MAX6165 (5.0V output). The Typical Operating Characteristics of the remainder
of the MAX6161 family typically lie between these two extremes and can be estimated based on their output voltages.

Input Voltage
Applications Information
Input Bypassing
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 IN as possible. When transient performance is less
important, no capacitor is necessary.
Output/Load Capacitance
Devices in the MAX6161 family do not require an output
capacitor for frequency stability. In applications where the
load or the supply can experience step changes, an output capacitor of at least 0.1μF will reduce the amount of
overshoot (undershoot) and improve the circuit’s transient
response. Many applications do not require an external
capacitor, and the MAX6161 family can offer a significant
advantage in applications when board space is critical.
Output Voltage Hysteresis
Output voltage hysteresis is the change in the input
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 125ppm.
Turn-On Time
These devices typically turn on and settle to within 0.1%
of their final value in 50μs to 300μs, depending on the
output voltage (see electrical table of part used).
The turn-on time can increase up to 1.5ms with the
device operating at the minimum dropout voltage and the
maximum load.
Typical Operating Circuit
Supply Current
The quiescent supply current of the series-mode MAX6161
family is typically 100μA and is virtually independent of the
supply voltage, with only an 8μA/V (max) variation with
supply voltage. Unlike series references, shunt-mode
references operate with a series resistor connected to
the power supply. The quiescent current of a shuntmode reference is thus a function of the input voltage.
Additionally, shunt-mode references have to be biased
at the maximum expected load current, even if the load
current is not present at the time. In the MAX6161 family,
the load current is drawn from the input voltage only when
required, so supply current is not wasted and efficiency is
maximized at all input voltages. This improved efficiency
reduces power dissipation and extends battery life.
When the supply voltage is below the minimum specified
input voltage (as during turn-on), the devices can draw up
to 400μA beyond the nominal supply current. The input
voltage source must be capable of providing this current
to ensure reliable turn-on.
