Product details
Overview
The MAX875BESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision +5.0V voltage reference IC with ±0.06% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 14.5µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) output noise-designed for high-resolution data acquisition in portable test equipment and digital multimeters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX875BESA+ datasheet, MAX875BESA+ pinout, MAX875BESA+ application, or MAX875BESA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SO-8 package layout, TRIM/TEMP terminal functions, load regulation behavior (≤20ppm/mA), and real-world selection guidance against comparable 5V references.
Technical Context
The MAX875BESA+ uses a laser-trimmed BiCMOS bandgap core with curvature correction to achieve low drift across –40°C to +85°C. Its TEMP pin provides a 2.1mV/°C proportional voltage for external compensation or monitoring, while the TRIM pin enables ±6% output adjustment via a 100kΩ potentiometer.
It operates from +7V to +18V input, sources up to 10mA and sinks 2mA, and maintains stability without output capacitance-though it tolerates up to 100µF. Line regulation is specified at ≤6ppm/V over full temperature range, and PSRR exceeds 80dB below 10kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +5.000V nominal, ±0.06% initial accuracy (±3mV at +25°C) |
| Tempco | 20ppm/°C max - ensures ≤1mV drift over 0°C to 70°C operating range |
| Noise (10Hz–1kHz) | 14.5µVRMS - supports stable 12-bit ADC performance without additional filtering |
| Quiescent Current | 450µA max - enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation |
| Load Regulation | 20ppm/mA max (source), 1900ppm/mA max (sink) - defines output shift under varying load conditions |
| Line Regulation | 6ppm/V max - limits output variation when input supply varies within +7V to +18V |
| TRIM Range | ±300mV (±6%) - allows fine-tuning to compensate for system-level gain errors |
| TEMP Output | 630mV at +25°C, 2.1mV/°C sensitivity - usable for die-temperature sensing or analog compensation |
Pinout & Package
MAX875BESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8, package code S8-4), 150-mil width, RoHS-compliant lead-free package. Pin 1 and Pin 8 are internally connected (I.C.) and must remain unconnected on PCB; Pin 7 is no-connect (N.C.).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1, Pin 8 | I.C. (Internally Connected) | Not bonded externally; leave floating-no PCB trace or pad connection permitted |
| Pin 2 (IN) | Positive Supply Input | Accepts +7V to +18V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| Pin 3 (TEMP) | Temperature-Proportional Output | Provides 630mV @ +25°C, 2.1mV/°C slope; high-impedance node-buffer before loading |
| Pin 4 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal bias; tie directly to clean analog ground plane |
| Pin 5 (TRIM) | Voltage Trim Control | Adjusts output ±6% via resistive divider between OUT and GND; open-circuit = factory-set 5.000V |
| Pin 6 (OUT) | Precision 5.0V Output | Delivers regulated +5.000V; sources 10mA / sinks 2mA; stable with 0–100µF capacitive loads |
| Pin 7 | N.C. (No Connection) | Not bonded internally; must be left unconnected on PCB layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Adjustable output | ±6% trim range via single potentiometer supports calibration of downstream gain stages |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 450µA max enables use in always-on, battery-powered measurement nodes |
| High PSRR | ≥80dB rejection below 10kHz suppresses supply ripple from noisy DC/DC converters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision 5V reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5050AIDR | 12ppm/°C max tempco, 3µVRMS noise, 1mA IQ - tighter spec but higher power and cost | Better suited for 16-bit systems; less ideal for battery-constrained designs | Select REF5050AIDR only if 12-bit requirement is exceeded and supply headroom permits 1mA IQ |
| ADR4550BRZ | 3ppm/°C max tempco, 12µVRMS noise, 950µA IQ - ultra-low drift but double the quiescent current | Preferred for metrology-grade lab equipment; not optimized for portable operation | Choose ADR4550BRZ when thermal stability dominates over battery life and BOM cost |
Compared with REF5050AIDR and ADR4550BRZ, the MAX875BESA+ delivers optimal balance of 12-bit accuracy, sub-500µA power, and SO-8 manufacturability-making it the preferred choice for cost-sensitive, battery-powered instrumentation where 20ppm/°C drift is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX875BESA+?
The MAX875BESA+ has an absolute maximum IN-to-GND rating of +20V, but its specified operating range is +7V to +18V. Operation above +18V risks exceeding safe junction temperature or violating line regulation specs. For reliable long-term use, maintain VIN ≤ +18V with adequate PCB thermal relief.
Can the MAX875BESA+ drive a 10kΩ load continuously?
Yes-the MAX875BESA+ sources up to 10mA, so a 10kΩ load drawing 0.5mA at 5V is well within specification. Load regulation is 20ppm/mA max, meaning output shifts by ≤10µV under this load. Ensure GND return path is low-impedance to avoid ground bounce affecting accuracy.
How does the TEMP pin function in the MAX875BESA+?
The TEMP pin on the MAX875BESA+ outputs 630mV at +25°C with a slope of 2.1mV/°C, directly proportional to die temperature. It is intended for temperature compensation or monitoring-not for direct ADC input without buffering, as its output impedance rises above 10kΩ and loading degrades accuracy.
Is the MAX875BESA+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX87x family?
Yes-MAX875BESA+, MAX873BESA+, and MAX876BESA+ share identical SO-8 pinouts and terminal functions (IN, GND, TEMP, TRIM, OUT). Only the output voltage and trimmed tempco differ; no PCB redesign is needed when swapping within the B-grade variants for different voltage requirements.
What is the typical turn-on time for the MAX875BESA+?
The MAX875BESA+ settles to within 0.1% of 5.000V in 150µs with no output capacitor. With a 1µF output cap, turn-on time increases to ~300µs due to RC charging. This timing is critical for power-gated systems-designers should allow ≥500µs delay before sampling the reference in firmware-controlled startup sequences.
