MAX6164BESA+

The MAX6164BESA+ is a PMIC - Voltage Reference specifically designed to provide a temperature-stable reference voltage in a small surface-mounted package. It offers high accuracy, low current consumption, and low cost for small boards. This makes the MAX6164BESA+ particularly suitable for discrete and/or battery-powered applications requiring either small form factor or low cost.

The MAX6164BESA+ operates from a wide input voltage of 2V to 30V, and is available in an 10-Pin DFN package and 8-pin MSOP package, both of which offer small footprint in the industry. It is designed to provide a low-noise, low-output-impedance reference output voltage of 1.245V or 2.495V ±2%. Additionally, the MAX6164BESA+ operates over an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

The main application fields of the MAX6164BESA+ are data acquisition systems, programmable logic controllers, personal computers, industrial and medical systems, including high-speed data converters and low-power analog applications.

The principle of operation of the MAX6164BESA+ is simple yet effective. Its design consists of two main parts: an internal bandgap reference circuit, and an external compensation circuit. The internal bandgap reference generates a temperature-stable reference voltage, which is than compared with a voltage generated by the external compensation circuit. This complete circuit then produces a voltage, which is used as a reference voltage for an application circuit.

The main advantages of the MAX6164BESA+ are its low current consumption, low noise, high accuracy, small packages, wide temperature range, and cost-effectiveness. The whole circuit is also optimized for low offset error, low output impedance, and temperature coefficient, making it suitable for both battery- and line-powered applications. In addition, the MAX6164BESA+ is provided with overvoltage- and ESD-protection, making it robust and suitable for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications.

In conclusion, the MAX6164BESA+ is a PMIC - Voltage Reference specifically designed for reference voltages in a small surface-mounted package. Its main application fields are data acquisition systems, programmable logic controllers, personal computers, and industrial and medical systems. The principle of operation of the MAX6164BESA+ is based on an internal bandgap reference, an external compensation circuit, and an output voltage. The main advantages of the MAX6164BESA+ are its low current consumption, low noise, high accuracy, small packages, wide temperature range, and cost-effectiveness.
