Product details
Overview
The MAX674CSA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision +10V voltage reference IC with ±0.15% initial accuracy, 12ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 20µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) low-frequency noise, designed for high-accuracy analog signal conditioning in A/D and D/A converters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX674CSA+ datasheet, MAX674CSA+ pinout, MAX674CSA+ application, or MAX674CSA+ equivalent, key selection considerations include output trim capability (±300mV), load regulation of 0.001%/mA, short-circuit protection, and narrow SO-8 package compatibility with REF01 footprints.
Technical Context
The MAX674CSA+ uses a bandgap-based reference core with on-chip trimming to achieve ±15mV (±0.15%) initial output tolerance at +10V. Its temperature stability is guaranteed via the "box method" measurement across 0°C to +70°C.
It supports adjustable output (±300mV via external resistor at TRIM pin) without degrading temperature performance significantly-coefficient shift is ~0.7ppm/°C per 100mV adjustment. Input voltage range is 13V to 33V, with turn-on settling time of 5µs to ±0.1%.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF01CPZ | Same +10V nominal output, ±0.3% initial accuracy (vs. ±0.15%), 25ppm/°C tempco (vs. 12ppm/°C), higher 35µVP-P noise | Lacks TRIM pin; not adjustable; requires external calibration for binary-aligned outputs | Select REF01CPZ only if cost sensitivity outweighs accuracy and adjustability needs |
| ADR02ARZ | +10V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, but 10µVP-P noise and 1.2mA quiescent current; SO-8 package | Higher precision and lower noise, but no output trim capability and incompatible pinout (TRIM function absent) | Choose ADR02ARZ when ultra-low tempco is mandatory and trim is unnecessary |
Compared with REF01CPZ and ADR02ARZ, the MAX674CSA+ uniquely combines factory-trimmed ±0.15% accuracy, 12ppm/°C stability, adjustable output, and REF01-compatible pinout-making it optimal for upgrading legacy REF01 designs requiring tighter specs without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX674CSA+?
The MAX674CSA+ is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation. This commercial-grade temperature range is defined by its "C" grade suffix and applies specifically to the narrow SO-8 package variant. The device maintains all specified electrical characteristics-including 12ppm/°C tempco and ±15mV initial tolerance-within this range. It is not qualified for extended industrial (-40°C to +85°C) operation; that specification applies to the MAX674ESA+ variant.
Does the MAX674CSA+ require external components to function?
The MAX674CSA+ operates as a complete +10V reference with only VIN and GND connections. External components are optional: a 10kΩ potentiometer between TRIM and GND enables ±300mV output adjustment, while a 0.1µF bypass capacitor at VIN improves line rejection. No output buffer or compensation network is required for basic operation, though a unity-gain op-amp may be added for high-current loads beyond 10mA.
Is the MAX674CSA+ pin-compatible with the REF01 series?
Yes, the MAX674CSA+ is explicitly designed as a pin-for-pin compatible upgrade to the REF01. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = VIN, Pin 5 = TRIM, Pin 6 = VOUT-all match REF01CP/CA pin assignments. The two unused pins (3,4,7,8) are N.C. in both devices. This compatibility allows direct replacement in existing REF01 layouts without PCB modification, while delivering improved accuracy (±0.15% vs. ±0.3%) and lower tempco (12ppm/°C vs. 25ppm/°C).
What is the maximum load current the MAX674CSA+ can drive?
The MAX674CSA+ guarantees stable operation with load currents up to 10mA while maintaining 0.001%/mA load regulation. Absolute maximum sink/source capability is 30mA (short-circuit current), but sustained loads above 10mA cause increased self-heating and potential tempco degradation. For continuous 20mA loads, a heatsinked external pass transistor or buffer amplifier is recommended to preserve reference accuracy and avoid exceeding the 300mW SO-8 package power limit.
Can the output voltage of the MAX674CSA+ be adjusted, and how does it affect performance?
Yes, the MAX674CSA+ output can be trimmed ±300mV using an external resistor network on the TRIM pin. Adjusting output by ±100mV increases temperature coefficient by ~0.7ppm/°C; thus, a ±300mV trim adds up to ~2.1ppm/°C worst-case shift. This remains within acceptable bounds for most 12–14-bit systems. The trim function enables precise alignment to values like 10.240V for binary scaling, without compromising long-term stability or noise performance.
