Product details
Overview
AD587JQ from Analog Devices is a precision 10 V monolithic voltage reference IC using a buried Zener diode architecture, laser-trimmed for ±10 mV initial accuracy and 20 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over 0°C to 70°C. It delivers low noise (4 μV p-p, 0.1 Hz–10 Hz), 4 mA max quiescent current, and features a dedicated noise-reduction pin (Pin 8) and output trim capability (Pin 5), making it suitable for high-resolution DAC/ADC calibration in test equipment and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD587JQ datasheet, AD587JQ pinout, AD587JQ application, or AD587JQ equivalent, key selection considerations include its CERDIP-8 package, MIL-STD-883-compliant availability, fine-trim adjustability, noise-reduction capacitor interface, and guaranteed performance across commercial temperature range without external compensation.
Technical Context
The AD587JQ integrates a proprietary ion-implanted buried Zener diode with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve stable 10 V output with minimal drift. Its internal buffer amplifier provides load regulation of ±100 μV/mA and supports sourcing/sinking up to ±10 mA while maintaining <4 μV p-p low-frequency noise.
Operation relies on a two-stage architecture: the Zener sets the core reference voltage, while the op amp buffers and isolates the output. Pin 8 enables external RC filtering to suppress broadband noise, and Pin 5 allows ±3% gain adjustment via external resistor network-both functions validated for the AD587JQ grade per Rev. H datasheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 10.000 V ±10 mV at 25°C - ensures direct compatibility with 10 V full-scale converter designs without recalibration. |
| Temp Coefficient | 20 ppm/°C max (0°C to 70°C) - guarantees ≤±1.4 mV total drift across operating range, critical for lab-grade instrumentation. |
| Output Noise | 4 μV p-p (0.1 Hz–10 Hz) - enables sub-16-bit effective resolution in precision digitizers and metrology systems. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤4 mA at 15 V - supports low-power portable calibrators and battery-backed reference subsystems. |
| Load Regulation | ±100 μV/mA (0–10 mA sourcing) - maintains stability under dynamic converter load transients typical in SAR ADCs. |
| Trim Range | ±3% via Pin 5 - allows system-level calibration to exact 10.000 V or binary-aligned values like 10.24 V. |
| Noise Reduction | Capacitor on Pin 8 reduces 1 MHz noise to ~160 μV p-p - essential for RF sampling and high-SNR signal chains. |
Pinout & Package
AD587JQ is housed in an 8-lead Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CERDIP, Q-8), compliant with JEDEC MS-001, rated for operation from 0°C to 70°C and qualified to MIL-STD-883 requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1, 3, 7 | Internal Test Point (TP) | No connection required; floating per datasheet - must remain unconnected to avoid parametric shift or damage. |
| Pin 2 | +VIN | Positive supply input (13.5–36 V); powers Zener and buffer - requires local 0.1 µF decoupling for transient immunity. |
| Pin 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; return path for all internal currents - must tie to clean system AGND plane. |
| Pin 5 | TRIM | Fine-adjust node for ±3% output scaling; connects to external 10 kΩ potentiometer - enables end-system calibration traceability. |
| Pin 6 | VOUT | Regulated 10 V output; buffered, low-impedance source - drives DAC references, ADC inputs, or op-amp gain networks directly. |
| Pin 8 | NOISE REDUCTION | Filter node for external capacitor (e.g., 1 µF to GND); forms LPF with internal RS - reduces high-frequency Zener noise by >25%. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed initial accuracy | ±10 mV (0.1%) at 25°C - eliminates need for post-mount trimming in production test fixtures. |
| Buried Zener architecture | Lower long-term drift (<15 ppm/1000 hr) vs. bandgap references - ensures calibration validity over multi-year equipment lifecycles. |
| Dedicated noise-reduction pin | Enables 1 µF capacitor to reduce 1 MHz noise to 160 μV p-p - critical for high-fidelity audio and spectrum analysis front ends. |
| Industry-standard pinout | Pin-compatible with legacy 10 V references (e.g., REF02, LT1021) - allows drop-in upgrade in existing PCB layouts. |
| MIL-STD-883 qualification option | Available in Q-8 CERDIP with screening per MIL-STD-883 - supports aerospace, defense, and downhole industrial applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD587JR | Same electrical specs but in SOIC-8 (R-8) package; no MIL-STD-883 screening; RoHS-compliant (Z suffix). | Surface-mount assembly; lower thermal resistance (θJA = 110°C/W vs. CERDIP's 130°C/W); not suitable for hermetic or high-reliability mil-aero use. | Select when board space, reflow compatibility, or cost outweigh need for ceramic hermeticity and military screening. |
| REF02CP | 10 V reference with ±15 mV initial error, 25 ppm/°C drift, no trim/no noise-reduction pin; PDIP-8 only. | Limited adjustability and higher noise (8 μV p-p); lacks Pin 5 and Pin 8 functionality - cannot match AD587JQ's calibration flexibility or noise performance. | Choose only for legacy drop-in replacement where trim and noise reduction are unused; not recommended for new designs targeting ≥14-bit accuracy. |
Compared with AD587JR and REF02CP, the AD587JQ uniquely combines CERDIP hermeticity, MIL-STD-883 readiness, and dual-purpose TRIM/NOISE REDUCTION pins - making it the sole option for field-deployable calibration hardware requiring both long-term stability and in-situ adjustment.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the AD587JQ?
The AD587JQ supports +VIN from 13.5 V to 36 V DC, with absolute maximum rating of 36 V. Operation below 13.5 V risks loss of regulation; exceeding 36 V may cause permanent damage. For optimal noise and drift performance, Analog Devices recommends 15 V ±10% as nominal supply, as specified in the Rev. H datasheet's test conditions.
Does the AD587JQ require external components to function?
No, the AD587JQ operates as a complete 10 V reference with only +VIN (Pin 2) and GND (Pin 4) connections. External components are optional: a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor on +VIN improves supply rejection, a 1 µF capacitor on Pin 8 reduces noise, and a 10 kΩ potentiometer on Pin 5 enables fine trimming - none are mandatory for basic functionality per datasheet Figure 4.
Can the AD587JQ be used to generate a negative reference voltage?
Yes, the AD587JQ can configure a precision −10.000 V output by grounding VOUT (Pin 6), connecting +VIN (Pin 2) to ≥+3.5 V, and routing GND (Pin 4) through a resistor (RS <1 kΩ) to −15 V. This reverse-bias mode maintains the same temperature coefficient and long-term stability as the standard configuration, as verified in Rev. H datasheet Figure 17.
What is the purpose of Pins 1, 3, and 7 on the AD587JQ?
Pins 1, 3, and 7 are internal factory test points (TP) with no electrical function in circuit operation. The AD587JQ datasheet explicitly states "NO CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE TO THESE PINS" and warns that connecting them may alter device parameters or cause failure. These pins must remain unconnected and floating in all AD587JQ applications.
How does the noise-reduction feature of the AD587JQ work?
The AD587JQ's Pin 8 (NOISE REDUCTION) connects internally to the buried Zener's cathode through a 4 kΩ resistor (RS). Adding an external capacitor (e.g., 1 µF) between Pin 8 and GND forms a first-order low-pass filter that attenuates high-frequency Zener noise. As shown in Rev. H Figure 6, this reduces 1 MHz broadband noise from 200 μV p-p to ~160 μV p-p without affecting DC accuracy or temperature drift.
