Product details
Overview
The MAX674EPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision +10V voltage reference IC with ±15mV initial output tolerance, 15ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 20µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) low-frequency noise, designed for high-accuracy analog signal conditioning in industrial instrumentation and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX674EPA+ datasheet, MAX674EPA+ pinout, MAX674EPA+ application, or MAX674EPA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation, load regulation of 0.001%/mA, short-circuit protection, and compatibility with REF01-based designs requiring stable 10V references.
Technical Context
The MAX674EPA+ uses a bandgap-derived architecture with internal trimming to achieve ±0.15% initial accuracy at +10V. Its temperature stability is characterized using the "box method" per Note 1, guaranteeing ≤15ppm/°C over the full -40°C to +85°C range.
It supports adjustable output via the TRIM pin (±300mV range with 10kΩ pot), maintains 5µs turn-on settling to ±0.1%, and delivers up to 30mA short-circuit current while limiting power dissipation to 500mW in the plastic DIP package.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF01CP | Same pinout, ±0.1% initial accuracy (tighter), 25ppm/°C tempco (worse), 1.8mA IQ (higher) | Higher initial accuracy but reduced temperature stability; less suitable for wide-temp industrial use | Select REF01CP only if initial accuracy dominates over thermal drift in your design |
| MAX6126AASA+ | SO-8 package only, ±0.04% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, 1.2mA IQ, no TRIM pin | Superior stability and accuracy but lacks output adjustability and PDIP packaging | Choose MAX6126AASA+ when upgrading to surface-mount and highest stability is required |
Compared with REF01CP and MAX6126AASA+, the MAX674EPA+ uniquely balances industrial temperature range, TRIM adjustability, PDIP availability, and proven reliability in legacy instrumentation-making it optimal for drop-in replacement or new designs needing field-trimmable 10V references.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX674EPA+?
The MAX674EPA+ is rated for continuous operation from -40°C to +85°C. This extended industrial temperature range is fully guaranteed across all key specifications-including output voltage tolerance, temperature coefficient, and load regulation-as documented in the Maxim datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
Does the MAX674EPA+ require external components to function?
The MAX674EPA+ operates as a complete 10V reference with only VIN and GND connections. An external 10kΩ potentiometer is optional-used only if output adjustment via the TRIM pin is needed. No capacitors, resistors, or op-amps are required for basic operation, simplifying layout and reducing bill-of-materials cost.
Is the MAX674EPA+ pin-compatible with the REF01 series?
Yes, the MAX674EPA+ is explicitly stated in its datasheet as pin-for-pin compatible with REF01. Both devices share identical 8-pin DIP pinouts (VIN, GND, VOUT, TRIM, and NC pins in matching positions), enabling direct substitution in existing REF01-based PCB layouts without modification.
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX674EPA+?
The MAX674EPA+ can source up to 10mA under normal operating conditions while maintaining specified accuracy. Its short-circuit current is rated at 30mA, and the device remains functional indefinitely during output shorts to ground or VIN-providing inherent fault resilience without external current-limiting circuitry.
Can the output voltage of the MAX674EPA+ be adjusted, and how?
Yes, the MAX674EPA+ output can be adjusted over a ±300mV range (9.7V to 10.3V) using the TRIM pin with an external 10kΩ potentiometer connected between VOUT and GND. The datasheet confirms that this adjustment does not significantly degrade temperature performance-adding only ~0.7ppm/°C per 100mV of offset.
