Product details
Overview
MAX674CSA from Maxim Integrated is a precision +10V voltage reference IC with ±0.15% initial accuracy, 12ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 20µVP-P low-frequency noise, housed in an 8-pin narrow SO package. It delivers stable reference voltage for high-resolution data conversion and calibration circuits operating from 0°C to +70°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX674CSA datasheet, MAX674CSA pinout, MAX674CSA application, or MAX674CSA equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12ppm/°C tempco, ±15mV initial error, 1.4mA max supply current, load regulation of 0.001%/mA, and pin-for-pin compatibility with REF01 in narrow SO footprint.
Technical Context
The MAX674CSA uses a bandgap-based architecture with internal laser-trimmed resistors to achieve its pretrimmed +10V output and low temperature drift. Its trim terminal enables ±300mV adjustment without degrading tempco by more than 0.7ppm/°C per 100mV shift.
It features short-circuit protection, operates from 13V to 33V input, settles within 5µs to ±0.1%, and maintains output stability under thermal shock (e.g., immersion in +75°C oil bath), making it suitable for metrology-grade calibration systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +10V ±15mV (±0.15% initial accuracy at 25°C) |
| Tempco | 12ppm/°C (guaranteed over 0°C to +70°C, box-method measurement) |
| Noise | 20µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz bandwidth, critical for 16+ bit ADC/DAC references) |
| Supply Current | 750–1400µA (low quiescent draw enables battery-powered precision instruments) |
| Load Regulation | 0.001%/mA (output shifts only 100µV per mA load change) |
| Line Regulation | 0.006–0.01%/V (stable output across 13V–33V input range) |
| Settling Time | 5µs to ±0.1% (fast turn-on supports burst-mode measurement systems) |
Pinout & Package
MAX674CSA is supplied in an 8-pin narrow SOIC package (package code S8-4*, 0.150" wide, JEDEC MS-012AC). Pinout is identical to REF01 and standard 8-pin SO voltage references.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Stable +10V reference output; drives high-impedance loads up to 10mA |
| 2 | TRIM | Adjustment node for ±300mV fine-tuning via external resistor divider |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be low-impedance and separated from digital ground |
| 4 | N.C. | No connection; internally unconnected; leave floating |
| 5 | N.C. | No connection; internally unconnected; leave floating |
| 6 | VIN | Positive input supply (13V–33V); includes internal short-circuit protection |
| 7 | N.C. | No connection; internally unconnected; leave floating |
| 8 | N.C. | No connection; internally unconnected; leave floating |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pretrimmed Output | +10V ±15mV (eliminates system-level trimming for most 10V applications) |
| Low Thermal Drift | 12ppm/°C (enables <0.1% full-scale error over 0°C–70°C industrial range) |
| Ultra-Low Noise | 20µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - supports 18-bit+ resolution without external filtering |
| Trim Terminal | ±300mV adjustability with <0.7ppm/°C tempco shift per 100mV - enables binary-scaled outputs like 10.240V |
| Short-Circuit Robustness | Indefinite output short to GND or VIN - protects against board-level faults without latch-up |
Applications
| Digital Voltmeter Calibration | A/D Converter Reference |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF01CPZ | Same 8-pin narrow SO package, ±0.3% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C tempco, higher 1.8mA supply current | Lower accuracy and stability limit use in <14-bit systems; no trim terminal | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements and trim capability is unnecessary |
| MAX6126AASA10 | 10V series reference, 8-pin SO, ±0.04% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, 1.2mA supply current, no trim pin | Higher precision but fixed output; not adjustable; requires different biasing topology | Select for metrology-grade applications where absolute accuracy > adjustability, and layout can accommodate series-reference constraints |
Compared with REF01CPZ and MAX6126AASA10, the MAX674CSA uniquely balances factory-trimmed 0.15% accuracy, 12ppm/°C stability, and ±300mV adjustability in a legacy-compatible SO package-making it optimal for upgrading REF01-based designs needing improved performance without PCB changes.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX674CSA?
The MAX674CSA is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is explicitly guaranteed in the ordering information table and applies to all electrical specifications unless otherwise noted. The device's 12ppm/°C temperature coefficient is specified and tested across this full range using the box method, ensuring predictable performance in office, lab, and non-extreme industrial environments. MAX674CSA does not support extended or military temperature grades.
Does the MAX674CSA require external components to function?
The MAX674CSA operates as a complete 3-terminal voltage reference with only VIN, GND, and VOUT connections required for basic functionality. No external capacitors or resistors are needed for stability or regulation. However, the TRIM pin supports optional external resistor networks for output adjustment (±300mV), and a 10kΩ potentiometer is shown in the typical operating circuit. The MAX674CSA itself contains all necessary bandgap, amplification, and protection circuitry on-die.
Is the MAX674CSA pin-compatible with the REF01?
Yes, the MAX674CSA is explicitly stated as pin-for-pin compatible with the REF01 in the Features section and confirmed by identical pin numbering and functions in the SO package configuration. Both devices share the same 8-pin narrow SO footprint (S8-4*), with matching VOUT (pin 1), TRIM (pin 2), GND (pin 3), and VIN (pin 6) assignments. This allows direct replacement in existing REF01-based layouts without PCB modification, provided the tighter MAX674CSA specifications meet system requirements.
What is the maximum load current the MAX674CSA can drive?
The MAX674CSA is specified to deliver up to 10mA load current while maintaining its published load regulation of 0.001%/mA. The "Maximum Load Current vs. Input Voltage" and "vs. Temperature" graphs confirm stable operation up to 10mA across 13V–33V input and 0°C–70°C ambient. Exceeding 10mA may degrade accuracy and increase self-heating effects; for higher current needs, a buffer amplifier is recommended. The MAX674CSA includes short-circuit protection but is not designed as a power source.
Can the output voltage of the MAX674CSA be adjusted, and how does it affect performance?
Yes, the MAX674CSA output can be adjusted ±300mV around 10V using the TRIM pin with an external resistor network. Adjusting the output changes the reference by approximately 0.7ppm/°C per 100mV shift - so a full ±300mV trim adds ≤2.1ppm/°C to the base 12ppm/°C tempco. This enables precise outputs like 10.240V for binary-scaled systems without sacrificing stability. The trim function does not affect noise, supply current, or settling time specifications.
