MAX6162BESA+T

MAX6162BESA+T is a precision programmable shunt voltage reference designed to provide a stable output voltage in a wide range of applications. It combines two integrated circuits in one small SOT-23 package: a voltage reference and a voltage regulator. The voltage reference generator provides an external electrical reference that can be adjusted to the desired nominally voltage reference by varying a single external setting resistor. The voltage regulator maintains the output voltage level without affecting its accuracy. This combination of features makes it an ideal solution for systems requiring precision, low-noise, space-conscious voltage references that also require precise regulation.

The MAX6162BESA+T voltage reference employs a bandgap reference as the voltage reference. A bandgap reference consists of a voltage amplifier, a resistor network, and an active element (transistor or diode) that generate a small internal voltage which is comparable to a diode voltage drop. This reference voltage is then amplified and maintained by the voltage amplifier and the nearby resistors. A bandgap reference provides a highly precise output voltage, making them ideal for precise, low-noise voltage references.

The MAX6162BESA+T voltage reference also includes a programmable voltage regulator in the same package. The voltage regulator is a high-performance, low-voltage type that is capable of maintaining the output voltage level over time and temperature variations. The programmable voltage regulator ensures an accurate and stable output voltage level at all times, regardless of the application environment.

Power management integrated circuits (PMICs) are integrated circuits that enable the efficient operation of electronic systems by providing power regulation and control. A voltage reference is a type of PMIC used to provide a stable output voltage to the system in order to maintain system stability and accuracy. The MAX6162BESA+T combines a precision programmable shunt voltage reference with a voltage regulator in the same package, making it an ideal solution for systems requiring precise, low-noise voltage references that also require precise regulation.

The MAX6162BESA+T is used in many applications such as computer motherboards, embedded systems, test instruments, and communications equipment. It also offers a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is available in SOT23 and SOIC packages. With its low quiescent current and small size, it is an attractive choice for applications with limited board space and budget.

In conclusion, the MAX616212BESA+T is a precision programmable shunt voltage reference ideally suited for use in power management applications. It combines a voltage reference and a voltage regulator in one small and cost-effective package, allowing it to provide a highly precise, low-noise output voltage while also ensuring precise regulation in a variety of different environments. The MAX6162BESA+T can be used in a wide range of applications and offers superior performance and a wide operating temperature range, making it an ideal choice for systems requiring precise, low-noise voltage references that also require precise regulation.
