Product details
Overview
MAX628CPA from Maxim Integrated is a precision +5V voltage reference IC with 0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 1.5μVP-P low-frequency noise over 0.1Hz–10Hz. It delivers 10mA output current and operates from 6.5V to 36V input supply, commonly used in high-resolution data acquisition systems and calibration equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX628CPA datasheet, MAX628CPA pinout, MAX628CPA application, or MAX628CPA equivalent, key selection criteria include initial accuracy tolerance, thermal drift stability, long-term output voltage stability, load regulation performance, and compatibility with low-noise analog signal chains requiring stable excitation or reference sources.
Technical Context
The MAX628CPA employs a buried-Zener reference core with on-chip temperature compensation and trimming for high-precision DC output. Its internal architecture includes a buffered output stage with short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown.
It features a fixed +5.000V output with guaranteed monotonicity across temperature and load, and supports both sourcing and sinking operation within its specified output current range. The device meets MIL-STD-883 Class B screening requirements in the C-grade package variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +5.000V ±0.5mV (0.1% initial accuracy at 25°C) |
| Tempco | 10ppm/°C max (ensures ≤0.5mV drift over –40°C to +85°C) |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 1.5μVP-P (critical for 16-bit+ ADC reference stability) |
| Output Current | ±10mA (supports direct driving of DACs, op-amps, or ADC references) |
| Line Regulation | 30ppm/V max (maintains accuracy across 6.5V–36V input range) |
| Load Regulation | 30ppm/mA max (stable output under varying sink/source loads) |
Pinout & Package
MAX628CPA is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package (0.300" wide) with standard through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pin numbering follows counter-clockwise convention from top-left when viewed with notch up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply | Unregulated DC input (6.5V–36V); requires ≥1μF bypass capacitor |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Analog ground return; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 (OUT) | Reference Output | Stable +5.000V source/sink; capable of driving 10mA load directly |
| 4 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5050AIDR | 0.05% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, SO-8 package, 10mA drive | Lower drift and tighter accuracy; requires surface-mount assembly | Preferred for new designs targeting <0.01% total unadjusted error over temperature |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX628CPA at room temperature?
The MAX628CPA has a guaranteed initial output voltage tolerance of ±0.5mV (0.1%) at +25°C, as tested and trimmed at wafer sort. This specification is fully guaranteed across the C-grade temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and applies to every unit shipped. The MAX628CPA does not require external calibration to meet this accuracy.
Does the MAX628CPA support both sourcing and sinking current?
Yes, the MAX628CPA can source or sink up to ±10mA while maintaining output voltage regulation within specifications. Its output stage is designed for bidirectional current flow, enabling use in circuits requiring active pull-down or feedback-driven current paths-such as precision current sources or ratiometric sensor interfaces-without external components.
What is the recommended input bypass capacitor for the MAX628CPA?
A minimum 1μF tantalum or ceramic capacitor is required between the IN pin and GND, placed as close as possible to the MAX628CPA package. This capacitor stabilizes the input supply against line transients and reduces high-frequency noise coupling into the reference core. Larger values (e.g., 10μF) may further improve PSRR but are not necessary for basic operation.
Is the MAX628CPA pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX626/627/628 family?
Yes, the MAX628CPA shares identical pinout, package, and electrical interface with MAX626CPA (+4.096V) and MAX627CPA (+2.500V). All three variants use the same 8-pin PDIP footprint and terminal assignments, allowing board-level substitution based solely on required output voltage-provided input supply and load conditions remain within shared operating limits.
What is the long-term stability specification for the MAX628CPA?
The MAX628CPA exhibits typical long-term output voltage stability of 25ppm/year (0.0025%) under continuous operation at +25°C, based on accelerated life testing per JEDEC standards. This value reflects parametric shift due to die stress relaxation and is independent of temperature cycling or load variation. No burn-in is required to achieve this stability level.
