Product details
Overview
MAX674MSA/PR from Maxim Integrated is a precision +10V voltage reference IC with ±0.15% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C temperature coefficient (guaranteed over –55°C to +125°C), and 20µVP-P low-frequency noise (0.1Hz–10Hz). It delivers 1.4mA max supply current, 0.001%/mA load regulation, and operates from 13V to 33V input. Used in high-accuracy calibration standards and precision ADC/DAC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX674MSA/PR datasheet, MAX674MSA/PR pinout, MAX674MSA/PR application, or MAX674MSA/PR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed wide-temperature performance (–55°C to +125°C), trim-adjustable output (±300mV), short-circuit protection, and narrow SO package compatibility with REF01 footprint.
Technical Context
The MAX674MSA/PR is a monolithic bandgap-based voltage reference with internal trimming for fixed +10V output. Its architecture supports output adjustment via external resistor at the TRIM pin without degrading temperature stability beyond +0.7ppm/°C per 100mV shift.
It features built-in short-circuit protection, sink capability up to 0.5mA, and turn-on settling time of 5µs to ±0.1%. Line regulation is 0.01%/V (13V–33V), and thermal shock response is characterized to <0.03% output change during rapid immersion in +75°C oil bath.

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 | Fixed +10V, ±0.3% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C tempco, 8-pin PDIP/SO | Lower accuracy and wider tempco; not rated for >+85°C | Acceptable for commercial-grade 12-bit systems where cost is primary constraint |
| ADR441BRZ | +10.000V, ±0.04% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, 8-pin SOIC, 1.8mA IQ | Higher precision, lower noise (1.8µVP-P), but higher supply current and cost | Preferred for metrology-grade 24-bit systems where long-term stability outweighs power budget |
Compared with REF01CPZ and ADR441BRZ, the MAX674MSA/PR uniquely balances military-grade temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), moderate power (1.4mA), and REF01 pin compatibility-making it optimal for ruggedized embedded instrumentation where legacy footprint retention and extended thermal margin are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the MAX674MSA/PR?
The MAX674MSA/PR is rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C. This extended temperature grade is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the official MAX674 datasheet. The device maintains its 20ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient and ±15mV initial output tolerance across this full range, making it suitable for aerospace, defense, and downhole industrial applications where ambient extremes are expected. All electrical characteristics for the M-grade are tested per MIL-STD-883 methods.
Does the MAX674MSA/PR require external components to function as a basic +10V reference?
No, the MAX674MSA/PR operates as a complete +10V reference with only a bypass capacitor on VIN. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed between VIN and GND is recommended for stability and noise suppression. The TRIM pin may be left open if no output adjustment is needed; no pull-up/down resistors or feedback networks are required for nominal operation. External components become necessary only when using the trim feature (e.g., 10kΩ potentiometer between VOUT and TRIM) or driving heavy loads (>10mA) requiring output buffering.
Is the MAX674MSA/PR pin-compatible with the REF01 series?
Yes, the MAX674MSA/PR is explicitly stated as pin-for-pin compatible with the REF01 in the Features section of the datasheet. Both devices use identical 8-pin SO and PDIP footprints, with matching pin assignments for VOUT, TRIM, GND, and VIN. This compatibility allows direct replacement in existing REF01-based designs without PCB revision. However, note that MAX674MSA/PR offers tighter initial accuracy (±0.15% vs. ±0.3%) and superior temperature stability (20ppm/°C vs. 25ppm/°C), delivering measurable performance uplift in upgraded systems.
What is the maximum load current the MAX674MSA/PR can drive directly?
The MAX674MSA/PR is specified to deliver up to 10mA load current while maintaining its published load regulation of 0.001%/mA. The Typical Operating Characteristics graph "MAXIMUM LOAD CURRENT vs. INPUT VOLTAGE" confirms stable operation up to 10mA at VIN = 15V. Beyond 10mA, output voltage deviation increases nonlinearly, and self-heating effects degrade temperature coefficient performance. For loads exceeding 10mA, a unity-gain buffer amplifier (e.g., rail-to-rail op-amp) is recommended to preserve reference accuracy and stability.
How does the TRIM pin affect temperature coefficient in the MAX674MSA/PR?
Adjusting the output voltage via the TRIM pin changes the MAX674MSA/PR's temperature coefficient by approximately +0.7ppm/°C per 100mV of deviation from the nominal +10.000V output. For example, setting VOUT = 10.200V increases the tempco by ~1.4ppm/°C. This incremental shift is linear and predictable, allowing system designers to quantify total drift budget when using trimmed outputs. The base 20ppm/°C spec remains valid for the unadjusted device, and all tempco values are guaranteed over the full –55°C to +125°C range regardless of trim setting.
