I. Device Description
A. General
The MAX6023 is a family of low-dropout, micropower voltage references in a 5-bump, chip-scale package (UCSP™).
The MAX6023 series-mode (three-terminal) references, which operate with input voltages from 2.5V to 12.6V (1.25V
and 2.048V options) or (V
OUT
+ 0.2V) to 12.6V (all other voltage options), are available with output voltage options of
1.25V, 2.048V, 2.5V, 3.0V, 4.096V, 4.5V, and 5.0V. These devices are guaranteed an initial accuracy of ±0.2% and
30ppm/°C temperature drift over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
UCSPs offer the benefit of moving to smaller footprint and lower profile devices, significantly smaller than even SC70
or SOT23 plastic surface-mount packages. The significantly lower profile (compared to plastic SMD packages) of the
UCSP makes the device ideal for height-critical applications. Miniature UCSP packages also enable device
placement close to sources and allow more flexibility in a complex or large design layout.
The MAX6023 voltage references use only 27µA of supply current. And unlike shunt-mode (two-terminal) references,
the supply current of the MAX6023 family varies only 0.8µA/V with supply-voltage changes, translating to longer
battery life. Additionally, these internally compensated devices do not require an external compensation capacitor
and are stable up to 2.2nF of load capacitance. The low-dropout voltage and the low supply current make these
devices ideal for battery-operated systems.

Note 1:
This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal
profile the device can be exposed to during board-level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of
solder profiles recommended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR
and convection reflow. Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.

VI. Reliability Evaluation
A. Accelerated Life Test
The results of the 135°C biased (static) life test are shown in
Table 1.
Using these results, the Failure
Rate (λ) is calculated as follows:
λ
=

=
MTTF
1.83
192 x 4389 x 57 x 2
(Chi square value for MTTF upper limit)
Temperature Acceleration factor assuming an activation energy of 0.8eV
λ
= 19.05 x 10
-9
λ
= 19.05 F.I.T. (60% confidence level @ 25°C)
This low failure rate represents data collected from Maxim’s reliability monitor program. In addition to
routine production Burn-In, Maxim pulls a sample from every fabrication process three times per week and subjects
it to an extended Burn-In prior to shipment to ensure its reliability. The reliability control level for each lot to be
shipped as standard product is 59 F.I.T. at a 60% confidence level, which equates to 3 failures in an 80 piece
sample. Maxim performs failure analysis on any lot that exceeds this reliability control level. Attached Burn-In
Schematic (Spec. # 06-5114) shows the static Burn-In circuit. Maxim also performs quarterly 1000 hour life test
monitors. This data is published in the Product Reliability Report (RR-1M).
B. Moisture Resistance Tests
Maxim pulls pressure pot samples from every assembly process three times per week. Each lot sample
must meet an LTPD = 20 or less before shipment as standard product. Additionally, the industry standard
85°C/85%RH testing is done per generic device/package family once a quarter.
C. E.S.D. and Latch-Up Testing
The RF39 die type has been found to have all pins able to withstand a transient pulse of
±1500V,
per Mil-
Std-883 Method 3015 (reference attached ESD Test Circuit). Latch-Up testing has shown that this device
withstands a current of
±250mA.
