Product details
Overview
AD586SQ from Analog Devices is a high-precision, laser-trimmed 5.000 V buried Zener voltage reference IC rated for −55°C to +125°C operation, with ±7.5 mV total output error over temperature, 20 ppm/°C max drift, and 100 nV/√Hz spectral noise density. It sources or sinks up to 10 mA and features dedicated noise reduction (Pin 8) and output trim (Pin 5) terminals for system-level calibration in precision data conversion.
For engineers reviewing the AD586SQ datasheet, AD586SQ pinout, AD586SQ application, or AD586SQ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, MIL-grade CERDIP package details, real-world converter interface guidance, and validated alternative options for high-reliability aerospace, defense, and industrial instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The AD586SQ uses a proprietary ion-implanted buried Zener diode combined with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve superior long-term stability (15 ppm/1000 hr) and low thermal drift versus bandgap references. Its internal buffer amplifier enables ±10 mA load drive while maintaining <100 µV/mA sourcing load regulation.
Temperature performance is validated across −55°C, +25°C, and +125°C test points per MIL-STD-883, guaranteeing maximum output deviation of ±7.5 mV. The noise reduction pin (Pin 8) forms a configurable low-pass filter with an external 1 µF capacitor, reducing broadband noise from 200 µV p-p to ~160 µV p-p.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5050QPWRQ1 | 5.000 V bandgap reference; 3 ppm/°C max drift (−40°C to +125°C); 10 µV p-p noise (0.1–10 Hz); SOIC-8 package. | Lower drift but higher noise; not MIL-qualified; unsuitable for hermetic or radiation-hardened systems. | Select REF5050QPWRQ1 only if automotive AEC-Q100 qualification and lower tempco outweigh need for buried Zener noise performance and MIL compliance. |
| MAX6126ASA50+T | 5.000 V buried Zener; 3 ppm/°C max drift (−40°C to +125°C); 1.6 µV p-p noise (0.1–10 Hz); SOIC-8 package; no noise reduction pin. | Superior low-frequency noise but lacks dedicated noise filter node and MIL-STD-883 variants. | Choose MAX6126ASA50+T when ultra-low 0.1–10 Hz noise is critical and military screening is not required. |
Compared with REF5050QPWRQ1 and MAX6126ASA50+T, the AD586SQ uniquely combines MIL-STD-883 qualification, CERDIP hermetic packaging, a dedicated noise reduction pin, and guaranteed ±7.5 mV total error over −55°C to +125°C - making it the only option qualified for flight-critical analog signal conditioning in defense platforms.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed total output error of the AD586SQ over its full temperature range?
The AD586SQ guarantees a maximum total output error of ±7.5 mV across −55°C to +125°C, validated by testing at −55°C, +25°C, and +125°C per MIL-STD-883. This specification includes initial accuracy, temperature drift, and long-term stability contributions - confirmed in Table 2 of the AD586 Rev. G datasheet. The AD586SQ achieves this using laser-trimmed thin-film resistors and a proprietary buried Zener core, ensuring predictable performance in flight-critical systems where reference error directly impacts measurement fidelity.
Does the AD586SQ require external components to operate as a basic 5 V reference?
No, the AD586SQ functions as a complete 5 V reference with only VIN (Pin 2) and GND (Pin 4) connections - no external capacitors or resistors are needed for nominal operation. Its internal buffer amplifier and buried Zener provide stable 5.000 V output at up to 10 mA load. External components are optional: a 1 µF capacitor on Pin 8 reduces broadband noise, and a resistor network on Pin 5 enables fine-trim calibration. These enhancements do not affect baseline functionality, and the AD586SQ remains fully operational with just two pins connected.
Can the AD586SQ be used to generate a negative reference voltage?
Yes, the AD586SQ can configure a precision −5.000 V output by grounding VOUT (Pin 6), connecting VIN (Pin 2) to a +6 V to +30 V supply, and routing the GND pin (Pin 4) through a resistor to a −15 V rail - with the −5 V output taken from Pin 4. This reverse-connection mode maintains the same temperature coefficient (20 ppm/°C max) and long-term stability (15 ppm/1000 hr) as the standard configuration. The AD586SQ's ability to sink 10 mA ensures reliable operation in this topology, as confirmed in the "Negative Reference Voltage from an AD586" section of the Rev. G datasheet.
What is the purpose of the TRIM pin (Pin 5) on the AD586SQ?
The TRIM pin (Pin 5) on the AD586SQ provides external fine-adjustment capability, allowing system-level calibration to exactly 5.000 V or custom values like 5.12 V for binary applications. A resistor divider connected between VOUT and GND injects current into Pin 5, shifting the output by up to ±300 mV with minimal impact on temperature coefficient or noise. This feature eliminates the need for post-assembly trimming of onboard resistors and enables field recalibration against NIST-traceable standards - a capability explicitly documented in Figure 6 and the "Applying the AD586" section of the AD586 Rev. G datasheet.
Is the AD586SQ compatible with standard 8-lead SOIC footprints?
No, the AD586SQ uses an 8-lead CERDIP package (Q-8), not SOIC. Its outline dimensions (0.310" × 0.220") and lead pitch (0.100") differ from SOIC (R-8) and PDIP (N-8) variants. The Q-8 package features ceramic body, flat gull-wing leads, and hermetic sealing - essential for MIL-STD-883 compliance. Attempting to mount AD586SQ in an SOIC footprint will result in mechanical interference and solder joint failure. Always verify land pattern against JEDEC MS-001-BA for Q-8, as shown in Figure 27 of the AD586 Rev. G datasheet.
