Product details
Overview
MAX674ESA+T 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. It operates from 13V to 33V input, delivers up to 10mA load current, and is used in high-accuracy data acquisition systems requiring stable analog references.
For engineers reviewing the MAX674ESA+T datasheet, MAX674ESA+T pinout, MAX674ESA+T application, or MAX674ESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include output trim capability (±300mV), short-circuit protection, load regulation of 0.001%/mA, and narrow SO-8 packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX674ESA+T employs a buried-zener reference core with on-chip trimming for factory-set +10V output, enabling binary-aligned calibration (e.g., 10.240V). Its trim terminal allows fine adjustment without degrading temperature stability beyond +0.7ppm/°C per 100mV shift.
It features internal short-circuit protection, operates over –40°C to +85°C, and maintains 5µs turn-on settling time to ±0.1%. Line regulation is 0.01%/V (13V–33V), and quiescent current is specified at 1.4mA max under no-load conditions.

| 2 | TRIM | Adjustment node for ±300mV output tuning via external potentiometer |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be low-impedance, star-connected to minimize noise |
| 4 | N.C. | No connection; internally unconnected; leave floating or grounded per layout best practice |
| 5 | N.C. | No connection; internally unconnected; avoid routing signals nearby |
| 6 | VIN | Positive supply input (13V–33V); includes internal overvoltage protection to 40V |
| 7 | N.C. | No connection; internally unconnected; do not bond or route |

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 pinout, ±0.3% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C tempco, higher 35µVP-P noise | Lower accuracy and stability; suitable only for 12–14-bit systems | Select REF01CPZ only if cost sensitivity outweighs 16-bit performance needs |
| ADR441BRZ | Pin-incompatible SO-8, ±0.04% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, 1.8µVRMS noise | Higher performance but requires PCB redesign and tighter layout controls | Choose ADR441BRZ when metrology-grade stability justifies layout change and budget increase |
Compared with REF01CPZ and ADR441BRZ, the MAX674ESA+T offers optimal balance of pin compatibility, industrial temperature range, and 16-bit-ready noise/stability-without requiring layout revision or premium pricing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX674ESA+T?
The MAX674ESA+T is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This extended industrial temperature range is confirmed in the official Maxim datasheet ordering table and applies specifically to the ESA grade. The device maintains its 15ppm/°C temperature coefficient and ±15mV output tolerance across this full range, making it suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory automation controllers and outdoor instrumentation.
Can the MAX674ESA+T be used as a direct replacement for REF01 in existing designs?
Yes, the MAX674ESA+T is explicitly stated as pin-for-pin compatible with REF01 in the datasheet Features section. Both devices use identical SO-8 pinouts and share matching VIN, VOUT, GND, and TRIM/ADJ terminal assignments. No PCB changes are required, though users should verify that the tighter ±0.15% initial accuracy and lower 15ppm/°C tempco of the MAX674ESA+T align with system-level calibration requirements.
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX674ESA+T?
The MAX674ESA+T supports a maximum load current of 10mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Load Regulation" conditions (IL = 0 to 10mA). This is validated across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range and input voltages from 13V to 33V. Exceeding 10mA may degrade output regulation or trigger thermal limiting, especially at elevated ambient temperatures.
Does the MAX674ESA+T require an external capacitor on the output for stability?
No, the MAX674ESA+T does not require an external output capacitor for stability. The device is internally compensated and remains stable into purely resistive or capacitive loads up to 1000pF, as confirmed by the Typical Operating Characteristics curves and absence of stability-related recommendations in the datasheet. However, a 100nF ceramic capacitor is recommended near the VOUT pin to reduce high-frequency noise coupling in sensitive measurement circuits.
How is the trim function implemented on the MAX674ESA+T, and what is its adjustment range?
The MAX674ESA+T implements output adjustment via its dedicated TRIM pin (Pin 2), which accepts an external 10kΩ potentiometer between VOUT and GND. This configuration enables ±300mV output tuning around the nominal +10V, allowing precise calibration to values like 10.240V for binary-aligned systems. Adjustment does not significantly impact temperature coefficient-drift increases by only ~0.7ppm/°C per 100mV shift-as verified in the Output Adjustment section of the datasheet.
