Product details
Overview
The MAX674ESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision +10V voltage reference IC with ±0.15% initial accuracy, 15ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 20µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) low-frequency noise, designed for high-accuracy analog signal conditioning in industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX674ESA+ datasheet, MAX674ESA+ pinout, MAX674ESA+ application, or MAX674ESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 15ppm/°C tempco over –40°C to +85°C, ±300mV output trim range, load regulation of 0.001%/mA, and narrow SO-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX674ESA+ uses a bandgap-based reference core with on-chip trimming to achieve ±15mV (±0.15%) initial output tolerance at +10.000V. Its temperature stability is specified using the "box method" per Note 1, with guaranteed 15ppm/°C max over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range.
It features short-circuit protection to ground or VIN, supports up to 10mA load current with <0.002%/mA load regulation, and achieves 5µs turn-on settling time to ±0.1% - enabling use in fast-settling ADC/DAC biasing and calibration circuits without external compensation.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF01CSZ | ±0.3% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C tempco, 1.5mA quiescent current | Lower accuracy and higher drift limit use in <14-bit systems; wider SO-8 footprint | Cost-sensitive legacy designs where ±0.3% tolerance is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed temperature coefficient of the MAX674ESA+ over its full operating range?
The MAX674ESA+ has a guaranteed maximum temperature coefficient of 15ppm/°C over the –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range, measured using the "box method" as defined in the datasheet. This specification ensures predictable output drift under thermal stress in industrial control cabinets and outdoor instrumentation enclosures where ambient temperatures fluctuate widely. The MAX674ESA+ meets this spec across all units in production lot testing, not just sample characterization.
Can the MAX674ESA+ be used as a direct replacement for the REF01 in existing designs?
Yes, the MAX674ESA+ is pin-for-pin compatible with the REF01 and shares identical SO-8 pinout and basic functional behavior. However, the MAX674ESA+ offers tighter initial accuracy (±0.15% vs. ±0.3%) and lower tempco (15ppm/°C vs. 25ppm/°C), so existing REF01 designs will see improved absolute accuracy without layout changes. The MAX674ESA+ also draws less quiescent current (1.4mA max vs. 1.5mA), reducing thermal load in dense PCB assemblies.
What is the maximum load current the MAX674ESA+ can drive while maintaining specified load regulation?
The MAX674ESA+ maintains its specified load regulation of 0.001%/mA up to 10mA output current, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. At 10mA, the output voltage shift remains within ±10µV - well within the ±15mV initial tolerance band. Beyond 10mA, regulation degrades nonlinearly, and short-circuit protection activates if VOUT is pulled below ~1V or above VIN.
Does the MAX674ESA+ require external capacitors for stability, and if so, what values are recommended?
The MAX674ESA+ does not require external output capacitors for stability but benefits from a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VIN pin (Pin 2) and GND (Pin 4). This minimizes high-frequency supply noise coupling into the reference core. No output capacitor is needed or recommended, as the device is internally compensated and adding capacitance may degrade transient response or induce oscillation in certain PCB layouts.
How is the TRIM pin used to adjust the output voltage of the MAX674ESA+, and what is the safe adjustment range?
The TRIM pin (Pin 5) of the MAX674ESA+ accepts a resistive divider to adjust the output voltage over a ±300mV range around 10.000V - i.e., from 9.700V to 10.300V. A 10kΩ potentiometer wired between VOUT and GND, with wiper to TRIM, provides full-range adjustment. Adjustment does not degrade tempco significantly: each 100mV shift adds only ~0.7ppm/°C to the baseline 15ppm/°C coefficient. Leaving TRIM open yields nominal +10.000V output.
