Ultra-High-Precision, Ultra-Low-Noise,
Series Voltage Reference
MAX126
General Description
Features
The MAX6126 is an ultra-low-noise, high-precision, low-
dropout voltage reference. This family of voltage refer-
ences feature curvature-correction circuitry and
high-stability, laser-trimmed, thin-film resistors that
result in 3ppm/°C (max) temperature coefficients and
an excellent ±±.±2ꢀ (max) initial accuracy. The propri-
etary low-noise reference architecture produces a low

Range
6±nV/√Hz (2.±48V 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 ±.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 guaran-
teed to be less than ±.±25Ω for sink and source cur-
rents up to 1±mA. These devices are available over the
automotive temperature range of -4±°C to +125°C.

The MAX6126 typically draws 38±µA of supply current
and is available in 2.±48V, 2.5±±V, 2.8±±V, 3.±±±V,
4.±96V, and 5.±±±V output voltages. These devices
also feature dropout voltages as low as 2±±mV. Unlike
conventional shunt-mode (two-terminal) references that
waste supply current and require an external resistor,
the MAX6126 offers supply current that is virtually inde-
pendent of supply voltage and does not require an
external resistor. The MAX6126 is stable with ±.1µF to
1±µF of load capacitance.
