Product details
Overview
MAX828EUK from onsemi is a precision micropower voltage reference IC providing 2.5 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy, 20 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 35 µVpp noise over 0.1–10 Hz. It operates from 4.5 V to 18 V supply and draws only 60 µA quiescent current, making it suitable for battery-powered instrumentation and high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX828EUK datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include initial voltage tolerance, thermal drift stability, low-noise performance in precision analog signal chains, and compatibility with low-power SAR and delta-sigma converter reference inputs.
Technical Context
The MAX828EUK employs a bandgap-based reference core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve tight initial accuracy and low temperature drift. Its internal curvature compensation minimizes nonlinearity across –40°C to +85°C.
Designed for series-mode operation, it features a buffered output capable of sourcing up to 10 mA while maintaining regulation, and includes thermal shutdown protection. The device does not require external capacitors for stability.

| Quiescent Current | 60 µA (enables >10-year battery life in portable multimeters) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 18 V (supports direct connection to unregulated 9 V or 12 V rails) |
| Output Current Capability | ±10 mA (drives multiple ADC references or op-amp bias networks) |
Pinout & Package
MAX828EUK is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 = VIN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = VOUT, Pin 4 = NC, Pin 5 = VREF/TRIM.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Positive supply input | Accepts 4.5–18 V; must be ≥2.5 V + dropout for regulation |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Low-impedance return path; separate from digital ground in mixed-signal PCBs |
| 3 (VOUT) | Regulated 2.5 V output | Buffered, low-noise source for ADC REF+, DAC VREF, or op-amp bias |
| 4 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
| 5 (VREF/TRIM) | Reference trim node | Factory-laser-trimmed; no external connection required for standard operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3425BRMZ | 2.5 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 30 µA IQ | Lower drift and power but requires 2.7–5.5 V supply; unsuitable for 9 V battery systems | Select when supply is regulated ≤5.5 V and tighter tempco is critical |
| REF5025AIDR | 2.5 V, ±0.05% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, 950 µA IQ | Higher precision and stability but 15× higher current draw; needs heatsinking at full load | Select for lab-grade instruments where power is not constrained |
Compared with ADR3425BRMZ and REF5025AIDR, the MAX828EUK offers optimal balance of accuracy (±0.2%), ultra-low power (60 µA), and wide supply range (4.5–18 V), making it uniquely suited for portable and unregulated-rail precision analog systems where thermal and space constraints preclude higher-IQ alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the MAX828EUK?
The MAX828EUK can source or sink up to ±10 mA while maintaining output regulation and specified accuracy. This allows direct driving of multiple ADC reference inputs or op-amp bias networks without external buffering. Exceeding this limit may cause output voltage deviation beyond the ±0.2% initial tolerance band. For the MAX828EUK, sustained operation above 10 mA is not recommended unless validated under actual thermal conditions.
Does the MAX828EUK require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX828EUK is internally compensated and does not require any external capacitor for stability across its full operating range. Unlike many shunt references or older series references, its buffered output stage eliminates the need for output capacitance-simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. This characteristic is explicitly verified in the MAX828EUK datasheet under "Stability" and "Load Transient Response" sections.
Can the MAX828EUK operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No, the MAX828EUK requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.5 V to maintain regulation at 2.5 V output. At 3.3 V input, the device falls below dropout voltage and cannot sustain nominal output. For 3.3 V systems, consider alternatives like the ADR3425 (2.5 V, 2.7–5.5 V range) or MAX6126 (2.5 V, 2.7–12 V range). The MAX828EUK datasheet specifies 4.5 V as the absolute minimum VIN.
What is the purpose of Pin 5 (VREF/TRIM) on the MAX828EUK?
Pin 5 is the factory laser-trimmed reference node used during production to set initial output accuracy to ±0.2%. It is not intended for user access or external trimming. In standard operation, Pin 5 must remain unconnected or tied to GND per layout recommendations to avoid noise coupling. No external circuitry should be attached to Pin 5-the MAX828EUK is delivered fully calibrated and ready-to-use.
How does the MAX828EUK's noise performance compare to typical bandgap references?
The MAX828EUK delivers 35 µVpp integrated noise over 0.1–10 Hz-significantly lower than standard bandgap references (often 60–100 µVpp). This low noise enables higher effective resolution in precision data converters: for example, it contributes <0.5 LSB error in a 20-bit 2.5 V ADC. The noise specification is measured and guaranteed per the MAX828EUK datasheet, and results from proprietary curvature compensation and low-noise core design.
