3 V series reference in a SOT-23-3 — what it delivers
The Maxim Integrated MAX6103EUR+T is a series voltage reference that outputs a fixed 3 V with ±0.4% initial tolerance. It runs from a 3.2 V to 12.6 V input rail and draws 125 µA quiescent supply current — low enough that a battery-powered sensor node or portable instrument won't waste its energy budget on the reference alone. The SOT-23-3 package (TO-236-3 / SC-59 compatible) keeps board area tight, which matters when you're squeezing a precision reference next to an ADC or DAC in a mixed-signal channel.
5 mA output — sizing the load budget
The MAX6103EUR+T can source or sink up to 5 mA. The series topology means the output is low-impedance and stable with capacitive loads.
Active — no LTB clock ticking
The MAX6103EUR+T carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. There is no last-time-buy window to track, no end-of-life notice to plan around. For a production BOM that needs a stable 3 V reference in a small footprint, this part can be specified into new designs without worrying about a sudden discontinuation. The Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging options match standard pick-and-place feeders.
