The MAX6225/MAX6241/MAX6250 are highly stable, A MAX681 generates approximately ±9V to operate the low-noise voltage references that use a low-power MAX6250 reference and MAX432 inverting amplifier. The temperature-compensation scheme to achieve laboratory- +5V is inverted by the MAX432 chopper-stabilized amplifier. standard temperature stability. This produces a nearly flat Resistor R1 is optional, and may be used to trim the temperature curve, yet does not require the power associated ±5V references. R2 and R4 should be matched, both in with heated references. absolute resistance and temperature coefficient. R3 is The output voltage can be trimmed a minimum of 0.6% optional, and is adjusted to set the -5V reference. by connecting a 10kΩ potentiometer between OUT and GND, and connecting its tap to the TRIM pin, as shown in Figure 1. The external trimming does not affect temperature stability. 8V TO 36V INPUT 8V TO 36V INPUT IN IN REFERENCE OUT REFERENCE OUT OUT OUT MAX6225MAX6225MAX6241MAX6241 * MAX6250MAX6250 NR TRIM TRIM 10kΩ NR GND 1µF GND *OPTIONAL Figure 1.
