Product details
Overview
MAX875AESA+T 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. It features TRIM and TEMP pins for output adjustment and temperature-proportional monitoring, and delivers stable 5V reference output for high-resolution data acquisition systems operating from +7V to +18V supply.
For engineers reviewing the MAX875AESA+T datasheet, MAX875AESA+T pinout, MAX875AESA+T application, or MAX875AESA+T equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SOIC-8 package details, trim-adjustable reference behavior, temperature-sensing capability, and real-world selection guidance for 12-bit–16-bit ADC/DAC systems requiring low-drift, low-noise, and long-term stability.
Technical Context
The MAX875AESA+T implements a laser-trimmed bandgap core with proprietary curvature-correction circuitry to achieve 7ppm/°C max drift over –40°C to +85°C. Its TRIM pin enables ±6% output adjustment via external resistive divider, while the TEMP pin outputs 630mV at +25°C with 2.1mV/°C sensitivity-enabling on-die temperature monitoring without external sensors.
It operates as a two-terminal shunt-like series reference: sourcing up to 10mA and sinking up to 2mA, with 15ppm/mA max load regulation and 4ppm/V max line regulation. The device requires no output capacitor for stability and remains functional with input voltages as low as +7V (for 5V output), supporting wide-supply industrial and portable applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±2.0mV at +25°C - ensures ≤0.04% absolute error in calibration-critical signal chains |
| Tempco | 7ppm/°C max - guarantees ≤±0.35mV drift across –40°C to +85°C ambient range |
| Noise (10Hz–1kHz) | 14.5µVRMS typical - supports 12-bit ADCs (LSB = 1.22mV @ 5V) without added noise floor degradation |
| Quiescent Current | 450µA max - enables multi-year battery life in portable DMMs and handheld DAQ systems |
| Load Regulation | 15ppm/mA max - maintains <±0.015mV/V change per mA source/sink, critical for dynamic load switching |
| Line Regulation | 4ppm/V max - limits output shift to <±0.02mV per volt input variation, essential for unregulated supplies |
| TRIM Range | ±6% (±300mV) - allows fine-tuning to compensate for PCB trace resistance or system-level gain errors |
| TEMP Output | 630mV @ +25°C, 2.1mV/°C - provides direct die-temperature sensing for thermal derating or compensation algorithms |
Pinout & Package
MAX875AESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO) package (JEDEC MS-012, 150-mil width), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 and Pin 8 are internally connected (I.C.) and must remain unconnected on PCB; Pin 7 is No Connection (N.C.). GND (Pin 4) must be low-impedance; IN (Pin 2) requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1, Pin 8 | I.C. (Internally Connected) | Not usable externally; leave floating or tie to GND only if required by layout grounding strategy |
| Pin 2 | IN | Positive supply input; accepts +7V to +18V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass placed adjacent to pin |
| Pin 3 | TEMP | Temperature-proportional analog output; 630mV @ +25°C, 2.1mV/°C slope; high-impedance, do not load |
| Pin 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; must connect to clean, low-noise system ground plane |
| Pin 5 | TRIM | Voltage adjust node; connect to center tap of 100kΩ potentiometer between OUT and GND for ±6% tuning |
| Pin 6 | OUT | Precision +5.0V reference output; sources up to 10mA, sinks up to 2mA; stable with 0–100µF capacitive loads |
| Pin 7 | N.C. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected on PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed thin-film resistors | Enables ±0.04% initial accuracy and 7ppm/°C tempco without external calibration |
| Proprietary curvature-correction circuit | Reduces parabolic drift contribution, improving stability over full –40°C to +85°C range |
| Integrated TEMP output | Provides factory-calibrated die temperature signal (630mV @ +25°C) for real-time thermal management |
| TRIM pin with ±6% adjustability | Allows post-assembly correction of system-level gain/offset errors without redesigning feedback networks |
| Short-circuit protected output | Withstands 5s output-to-GND short; limits current to 60mA, preventing latch-up or damage during test/debug |
| No output capacitor required | Eliminates risk of instability or phase margin loss, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count |
Applications
| Portable Digital Multimeters | 12-Bit Data Acquisition Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5050AIDR | 5.0V, 3ppm/°C max, 100µA IQ, SOIC-8 - lower drift and IQ but no TEMP or TRIM pins | Suitable where ultra-low drift dominates over adjustability or thermal monitoring | Select REF5050AIDR when long-term stability and minimal power are primary; avoid if TRIM/TEMP functionality is needed |
| ADR4550BRZ | 5.0V, 3ppm/°C max, 950µA IQ, SOIC-8 - higher IQ, no TEMP output, ±0.02% initial accuracy | Better initial accuracy than MAX875AESA+T but lacks on-chip temperature sensing | Choose ADR4550BRZ for highest absolute accuracy in fixed-reference designs; MAX875AESA+T preferred when thermal awareness or field trimming is required |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of MAX875AESA+T over temperature?
The MAX875AESA+T guarantees ±0.04% initial accuracy (±2.0mV at +25°C) across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for MAX875A grade devices and reflects worst-case deviation before any trimming. Long-term drift adds ≤50ppm/kh, making MAX875AESA+T suitable for applications requiring recalibration intervals of 12+ months.
Can MAX875AESA+T operate from a +5V supply?
No, MAX875AESA+T requires a minimum input voltage of +7V to maintain 5.0V output regulation, as specified in the MAX875 Electrical Characteristics table (VIN = +7V to +18V). Attempting operation from +5V will result in dropout and unregulated output. For +5V supply systems, consider the MAX6126AASA50+ or similar 5V-input-compatible references.
How is the TEMP pin of MAX875AESA+T used in practice?
The TEMP pin of MAX875AESA+T outputs 630mV at +25°C with a linear 2.1mV/°C slope, providing direct die-temperature measurement. In practice, it connects to an ADC input (with ≥10kΩ input impedance) to enable real-time thermal monitoring or cold-junction compensation-eliminating the need for external temperature sensors. Loading the TEMP pin degrades accuracy, so buffer amplification is recommended for driving low-impedance circuits.
Does MAX875AESA+T require an output capacitor for stability?
No, MAX875AESA+T is internally compensated and stable without any output capacitor. It remains stable with capacitive loads up to 100µF, allowing designers to add output capacitance solely for transient response improvement-not for stability. This eliminates risk of oscillation due to capacitor ESR/ESL and simplifies layout, especially in space-constrained portable instruments.
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of MAX875AESA+T?
MAX875AESA+T can continuously source up to 10mA and sink up to 2mA while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. Short-circuit protection limits output current to 60mA when shorted to GND (for ≤5s), and to 3mA when shorted to IN. These ratings are validated across –40°C to +85°C and are documented in both Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections of the datasheet.
