The MAX6035 typically draws only 73A of supply current and can source 10mA or sink 2mA of load current. Unlike conventional shunt-mode (two-terminal) references that waste supply current and require an external resistor, this device offers a supply current that is virtually independent of the supply voltage and does not require an external resistor. Additionally, this internally compensated device does not require an external compensation capacitor, but is also stable with capacitive loads up to 5F. Eliminating the external compensation capacitor saves valuable board area in space-critical applications. The supply independent, ultra-low supply current makes this device ideal for battery-operated, high-performance systems.
