Low-Cost, Low-Power, Low-Dropout, SOT23-3
Voltage References
General Description
The MAX6001–MAX6005 family of SOT23, low-cost series
voltage references meets the cost advantage of shunt references and offers the power-saving advantage of series references, which traditionally cost more.
Unlike conventional shunt-mode (two-terminal) references that must be biased at the load current and require an external resistor, these devices eliminate the need for an external resistor and offer a supply current that is virtually independent of the supply
voltage.
These micropower, low-dropout, low-cost devices are ideal for high-volume, cost-sensitive 3V and 5V batteryoperated syst...
