Product details
Overview
The MAX875AESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision +5.0V voltage reference IC with ±0.04% initial accuracy (±2.0mV), 7ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 450µA max quiescent current, designed for high-accuracy analog signal chains in portable data-acquisition systems and 12-bit ADC/DAC circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX875AESA+ datasheet, MAX875AESA+ pinout, MAX875AESA+ application, or MAX875AESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.000V output stability over –40°C to +85°C, ±6% trim range via TRIM pin, TEMP output for die-temperature monitoring, low 9µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise, and SO-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX875AESA+ employs a proprietary curvature-corrected bandgap core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve 7ppm/°C max drift and 0.04% initial accuracy across –40°C to +85°C. Its internal architecture supports both sourcing (10mA) and sinking (2mA) load currents while maintaining tight line regulation (4ppm/V max) and load regulation (15ppm/mA max).
It integrates a dedicated TEMP pin delivering 630mV at +25°C with 2.1mV/°C sensitivity-enabling direct die-temperature sensing without external components-and a TRIM pin allowing ±6% output adjustment using a single 100kΩ potentiometer between OUT and GND.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±2.0mV at +25°C - ensures 12-bit DAC/ADC full-scale accuracy without calibration. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.04% (±2.0mV) - eliminates need for post-manufacture trimming in most precision systems. |
| Temp Coefficient | 7ppm/°C max - guarantees ≤±0.35mV drift over –40°C to +85°C ambient range. |
| Quiescent Current | 450µA max - enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 9µVP-P typical - meets SNR requirements for 12-bit data acquisition at 1ksps. |
| Load Regulation | 15ppm/mA max - maintains output stability under dynamic 0–10mA sourcing loads. |
| Line Regulation | 4ppm/V max - rejects supply ripple up to ±10% on +15V input without external filtering. |
| TEMP Output | 630mV @ +25°C, 2.1mV/°C - provides calibrated die-temperature signal for compensation or thermal warning. |
Pinout & Package
MAX875AESA+ uses an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8, package code S8-4) with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 and 8 are internally connected (do not route); Pin 7 is no-connect. The device operates with IN at +7V to +18V and requires no output capacitor for stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | I.C. | Internally connected - must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| 2 | IN | Positive supply input - accepts +7V to +18V; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 3 | TEMP | Digital-temperature-proportional analog output - delivers 630mV @ +25°C, 2.1mV/°C slope. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - connect directly to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 5 | TRIM | Voltage-adjust input - connect center tap of 100kΩ pot between OUT and GND for ±6% output tuning. |
| 6 | OUT | Stable +5.000V reference output - sources up to 10mA or sinks up to 2mA with <15ppm/mA regulation. |
| 7 | N.C. | No internal connection - leave floating; no trace or pad required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trimmable Output | ±6% adjustment range via single external potentiometer - enables field calibration without redesign. |
| Dual-Direction Load Drive | Sources 10mA / sinks 2mA - supports active biasing and feedback networks in op-amp references. |
| Integrated Temperature Sensor | 630mV @ +25°C with 2.1mV/°C linearity - replaces discrete thermistor + amplifier in thermal compensation loops. |
| Low-Noise Architecture | 9µVP-P (0.1–10Hz), 14.5µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) - preserves dynamic range in high-resolution SAR ADC front-ends. |
| Wide Supply Range | +7V to +18V operation - accommodates unregulated industrial rails and battery-derived supplies. |
| Short-Circuit Protection | 60mA current limit when OUT shorted to GND - prevents latch-up and enables robust test fixture integration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR4550BRZ | 5.000V output, ±0.02% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, 950µA IQ, SO-8 | Higher accuracy and lower drift but 2× higher supply current; no TEMP or TRIM pins | Select ADR4550BRZ when ultra-low drift dominates over power and feature set. |
| REF5050AIDR | 5.000V output, ±0.05% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, 1mA IQ, SO-8 | Lower drift than MAX875AESA+ but no TEMP output; requires external trim network for adjustment | Select REF5050AIDR when long-term stability is critical and temperature monitoring is handled externally. |
Compared with ADR4550BRZ and REF5050AIDR, the MAX875AESA+ trades minor drift penalty (7ppm/°C vs. 3ppm/°C) for integrated TEMP sensing and simple ±6% trimming-reducing component count and layout area in compact, thermally aware designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the MAX875AESA+?
The MAX875AESA+ supports a maximum input voltage of +18V on the IN pin. Absolute maximum rating is +20V, but continuous operation above +18V risks reliability degradation. For stable +5.000V output, VIN must be ≥+7V per datasheet specifications-ensuring adequate headroom for dropout and line regulation performance. Always use a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between IN and GND for optimal transient rejection.
Does the MAX875AESA+ require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX875AESA+ is internally compensated and remains stable without any output capacitor. It is also stable with capacitive loads up to 100µF, making it suitable for driving ADC reference inputs or op-amp buffers directly. Adding an output capacitor (e.g., 1µF ceramic) improves transient response during load steps but is optional-not required for loop stability.
How does the TRIM pin function on the MAX875AESA+?
The TRIM pin on the MAX875AESA+ allows ±6% adjustment of the 5.000V output using a resistive divider between OUT and GND. Connect the wiper of a 100kΩ potentiometer to TRIM; adjusting the wiper changes VTRIM, which linearly shifts VOUT per ∆VOUT = 2 × (VTRIM − 2.5V) × 0.06. Leaving TRIM open retains the factory-trimmed 5.000V output with ±2.0mV accuracy.
What is the purpose of the TEMP pin on the MAX875AESA+?
The TEMP pin on the MAX875AESA+ outputs a voltage proportional to die temperature: 630mV at +25°C with 2.1mV/°C sensitivity. This enables real-time die-temperature monitoring for thermal compensation of downstream circuits (e.g., ADC gain drift) or over-temperature warning without external sensors. The output is unloaded-do not sink/source current from TEMP to preserve accuracy.
Can the MAX875AESA+ sink current, and how much?
Yes, the MAX875AESA+ can sink up to 2mA from the OUT pin into the device. This capability supports active pull-down configurations-for example, in ratiometric sensor interfaces or bidirectional reference buffering. Sink load regulation is specified at 150ppm/mA max over –40°C to +85°C, ensuring predictable output shift under sink conditions. Short-circuit protection limits sink current to 60mA if OUT is pulled below GND.
