MAX6018 is a precision, low-voltage, low-dropout, micropower voltage reference in a SOT23 package.
The MAX6018 provides a stable reference voltage with ultra‑low supply current (≤5 µA) and a low dropout of 200 mV. It is offered in four output voltage options (1.2 V, 1.6 V, 1.8 V, 2.048 V) and is suited for battery‑operated and low‑voltage systems.
Typical applications include two‑cell battery monitors, hand‑held equipment, data‑acquisition systems, and industrial process‑control. The device requires a minimum 100 pF load capacitance for stability and can source up to 1 mA of load current.
