Product details
Overview
5962-8688203XA from Analog Devices is a hermetically sealed, 3-pin TO-5 metal-can, laser-trimmed monolithic band gap voltage reference delivering a precise +10.000 V ±5 mV output with 5 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient (0°C to 70°C), 25 ppm/1000 hrs long-term stability, and 10 mA source capability - used as a primary reference for high-resolution DACs and ADCs in military-grade instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-8688203XA datasheet, 5962-8688203XA pinout, 5962-8688203XA application, or 5962-8688203XA equivalent, this MIL-STD-883 qualified device supports precision analog signal chains requiring stable 10 V references across extended temperature operation, low-noise performance (40 μV p-p, 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz), and minimal quiescent current (≤1.0 mA).
Technical Context
The 5962-8688203XA implements a band gap core with on-wafer laser trimming of both initial offset and temperature coefficient, eliminating need for external calibration components. Its architecture enables full accuracy without external resistors or capacitors while maintaining 0.2 Ω typical output impedance and 200 μs turn-on settling to 0.1%.
It operates from an unregulated 13 V to 30 V supply, supports bidirectional load current (±5 mA over temperature), and can be reconfigured in 2-pin Zener mode for −10 V reference generation using a single external resistor - retaining <15 mV total error over −55°C to +125°C in U-grade variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +10.000 V ±5 mV at +25°C - guarantees absolute accuracy within 0.05% for 12-bit DAC full-scale calibration. |
| Temp Coefficient | 5 ppm/°C max (0°C to 70°C) - contributes ≤±2.25 mV drift over commercial range, enabling 14-bit ADC system-level accuracy. |
| Long-Term Stability | 25 ppm/1000 hrs noncumulative - ensures reference drift remains under 0.025% over 6 months of continuous operation. |
| Load Regulation | 200 μV/mA (0–5 mA) - maintains output error below 1 mV even with dynamic load steps in precision data acquisition. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 40 μV p-p - limits RMS noise contribution to <13 μV, critical for low-frequency sensor signal conditioning. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤1.0 mA - enables use in low-power portable test equipment without compromising regulation integrity. |
| Supply Range | 13 V to 30 V unregulated - allows direct integration with standard ±15 V analog rails without pre-regulation. |
| Short-Circuit Current | 30 mA - provides robust fault tolerance during board-level transient events or miswiring. |
Pinout & Package
5962-8688203XA is housed in a hermetically sealed 3-pin TO-5 metal can (package option H-03B), with case grounded per MIL-STD-883 requirements. Pin configuration is viewed from bottom: Pin 1 = +VS, Pin 2 = VOUT, Pin 3 = GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +VS (Pin 1) | Unregulated positive supply input | Accepts 13–30 V; internal regulator derives bias for band gap core and output buffer - no external decoupling required for basic operation. |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Precision +10 V reference output | Low-impedance buffered node capable of sourcing 10 mA; connects directly to DAC VREF, ADC reference input, or op amp gain-setting networks. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Analog ground reference and case connection | Must be tied to system analog ground plane; metal case serves as EMI shield and thermal path - requires mechanical grounding per MIL-STD-883. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser wafer trimming of initial error and tempco | Eliminates post-packaging calibration; achieves ±5 mV / 5 ppm/°C spec in monolithic form - replaces hybrid modules in space-constrained avionics. |
| −10 V reference capability in 2-pin Zener mode | Enables bipolar system design with single device: tie +VS and VOUT, route GND through resistor to negative rail - retains 10 ppm/°C tempco and 25 ppm/1000 hrs stability. |
| 10 mA output drive with 0.2 Ω output impedance | Directly drives multiple 12-bit DAC references or op amp buffers without external gain stages - reduces component count in multi-channel DAQ systems. |
| MIL-STD-883 compliance (Class B screening) | Qualified for defense/aerospace use: includes burn-in, thermal cycling, and hermeticity testing - ensures reliability in mission-critical flight control and radar subsystems. |
| Low 40 μV p-p 0.1–10 Hz noise | Minimizes quantization uncertainty in high-resolution sigma-delta ADCs; avoids need for external noise filtering that degrades step response. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD581LH | Same die, identical specs, but commercial-grade (non-MIL-STD-883); TO-5 package without hermetic seal or screening. | Lacks radiation hardness, thermal cycling validation, and long-term reliability data required for flight hardware. | Select 5962-8688203XA when MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification, hermeticity, or extended temperature screening is mandatory. |
| REF5010QPWRQ1 | Automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1; 10 ppm/°C max tempco; 3.5 μV p-p noise; SOIC-8 package; requires external decoupling. | Not suitable for vacuum or high-humidity environments; lacks −10 V Zener mode and military screening. | Choose REF5010QPWRQ1 only for cost-sensitive automotive ECUs where TO-5 footprint and MIL qualification are unnecessary. |
Compared with AD581LH and REF5010QPWRQ1, the 5962-8688203XA uniquely combines MIL-STD-883 compliance, hermetic TO-5 packaging, −10 V Zener-mode operation, and 5 ppm/°C tempco - making it irreplaceable in aerospace platforms where reference integrity must survive launch vibration, thermal shock, and 10+ year service life without recalibration.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the 5962-8688203XA?
The 5962-8688203XA is specified for operation from −55°C to +125°C, with guaranteed performance across this full military temperature range. Its electrical characteristics - including output voltage tolerance, temperature coefficient, and long-term stability - are validated per MIL-STD-883 test methods, ensuring reliability in extreme environmental conditions encountered in aircraft, missile guidance, and satellite systems. The 5962-8688203XA maintains ±5 mV initial accuracy and 10 ppm/°C max tempco across this range.
Can the 5962-8688203XA be used to generate a −10 V reference?
Yes, the 5962-8688203XA supports −10 V reference generation in 2-pin Zener mode: connect +VS and VOUT pins together to system ground, then route GND through a current-limiting resistor to the negative supply rail. In this configuration, the device delivers −10.00 V ±15 mV over −55°C to +125°C with 10 ppm/°C tempco and retains its 25 ppm/1000 hrs stability. The 5962-8688203XA's ability to operate bidirectionally makes it ideal for bipolar signal chain designs without adding discrete components.
What is the maximum output current capability of the 5962-8688203XA?
The 5962-8688203XA can source up to 10 mA at +25°C and sustain 5 mA continuously across its full −55°C to +125°C operating range. It also sinks up to 5 mA over temperature, supporting active load configurations. This output drive strength allows direct interfacing with multiple 12-bit DAC references, op amp gain stages, or analog multiplexers without external buffering - a key advantage over lower-current references like the REF102 or LT1021. The 5962-8688203XA maintains regulation integrity even under short-circuit conditions (30 mA limit).
Does the 5962-8688203XA require external components for basic operation?
No, the 5962-8688203XA requires no external components for full-spec operation: its laser-trimmed band gap core and integrated output buffer deliver +10.000 V ±5 mV accuracy, 5 ppm/°C tempco, and 10 mA drive with only three connections (+VS, VOUT, GND). Unlike Zener-based references, it needs no trim potentiometers, compensation capacitors, or series resistors. Optional fine-trim circuitry (e.g., 22 Ω resistor) may be added for sub-millivolt calibration, but the 5962-8688203XA meets all specifications standalone - simplifying layout and improving long-term reliability.
How does the 5962-8688203XA differ from commercial-grade AD581LH?
The 5962-8688203XA shares the same silicon die and core specifications as the AD581LH (±5 mV, 5 ppm/°C, TO-5 package), but undergoes full MIL-STD-883 Class B screening: including 168-hour burn-in, thermal cycling (−65°C to +150°C), hermeticity testing, and lot acceptance testing per military standards. It is marked with 5962- prefix and screened for radiation tolerance and long-term reliability in harsh environments - whereas AD581LH is commercial-grade with no screening or hermetic seal. For any application requiring certified military reliability, the 5962-8688203XA is the only valid choice.
