Product details
Overview
The MAX875BESA+T 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 12-bit ADC/DAC systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX875BESA+T datasheet, MAX875BESA+T pinout, MAX875BESA+T application, or MAX875BESA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SO-8 package layout, TRIM/TEMP functionality, load regulation behavior, and real-world selection guidance against comparable references.
Technical Context
The MAX875BESA+T implements a laser-trimmed BiCMOS bandgap core with curvature correction, enabling stable +5.0V output across –40°C to +85°C while maintaining 4ppm/V line regulation and 15ppm/mA load regulation. Its TEMP pin delivers 630mV at +25°C with 2.1mV/°C sensitivity for external compensation.
It features a dedicated TRIM pin allowing ±6% output adjustment via external potentiometer, supports sourcing up to 10mA and sinking 2mA, and operates from +7V to +18V input-making it suitable for systems where supply headroom and thermal drift must be tightly controlled without external op-amps.

Pinout & Package
MAX875BESA+T uses an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8, package code S8-4), 150-mil width, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pins 1 and 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 2: IN | Positive power-supply input | Accepts +7V to +18V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for optimal transient rejection |
| Pin 3: TEMP | Temperature-proportional analog output | 630mV at +25°C, 2.1mV/°C slope - used for die-temp monitoring or compensation networks |
| Pin 4: GND | Analog ground reference | Must be low-impedance star point; separates from digital ground to avoid noise coupling |
| Pin 5: TRIM | Voltage-adjust input | Connects to center tap of 100kΩ pot between OUT and GND for ±6% fine-tuning |
| Pin 6: OUT | Precision +5.0V reference output | Sources 10mA / sinks 2mA; stable with capacitive loads up to 100µF |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5050IDR | 0.05% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, 5.0V output, SO-8, but 950µA IQ and no TEMP/TRIM pins | Better drift spec but lacks on-board temperature sensing and adjustability-requires external circuitry for compensation | Choose REF5050IDR when ultra-low drift dominates over power and integration; avoid if TRIM/TEMP functionality is required. |
| ADR4550BRZ | 0.02% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C tempco, 5.0V output, SO-8, 950µA IQ, no TEMP/TRIM, higher cost | Superior accuracy and drift, but no integrated trim or temperature output-designed for metrology-grade fixed-reference use | Choose ADR4550BRZ for lab-grade instruments where calibration stability outweighs size/power constraints; not suitable for embedded compensation. |
Compared with REF5050IDR and ADR4550BRZ, the MAX875BESA+T trades minor drift penalty (20ppm/°C vs. 3ppm/°C) for integrated TRIM and TEMP functions, 450µA IQ, and lower system BOM count-making it optimal for space-constrained, self-compensating portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX875BESA+T?
The MAX875BESA+T has an absolute maximum input voltage of +20V on the IN pin relative to GND. However, its specified operating range is +7V to +18V. Exceeding +18V may degrade long-term reliability or cause parametric shift, even if within absolute maximum limits. Always maintain ≥2V headroom between IN and OUT to ensure proper dropout margin under load.
Does the MAX875BESA+T require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the MAX875BESA+T is inherently stable without an output capacitor and remains stable with capacitive loads up to 100µF. An output capacitor is optional and recommended only to improve transient response during large load steps-e.g., 1µF X7R ceramic placed close to the OUT and GND pins reduces undershoot by ~70% during 0–10mA sourcing transitions.
How does the TEMP pin function in the MAX875BESA+T?
The TEMP pin on the MAX875BESA+T outputs a voltage proportional to die temperature: 630mV at +25°C with a slope of 2.1mV/°C. It is designed for direct connection to an ADC input or op-amp compensator-no external components needed. Loading the TEMP pin with >10kΩ impedance preserves accuracy; self-heating effects are negligible below 100µA sink/source.
Can the MAX875BESA+T be used as a 10mA current source?
The MAX875BESA+T is rated to source up to 10mA into a load tied between OUT and GND, provided the input-output differential remains ≥2V and junction temperature stays within –40°C to +125°C. At 10mA load, output voltage drops by ≤150µV due to 15ppm/mA load regulation-well within its ±3mV initial tolerance. Do not exceed 10mA continuously without verifying thermal derating.
What is the purpose of the TRIM pin on the MAX875BESA+T?
The TRIM pin on the MAX875BESA+T enables ±6% adjustment of the nominal +5.0V output using a simple resistive divider-typically a 100kΩ potentiometer between OUT and GND, with wiper connected to TRIM. This allows post-assembly calibration to compensate for PCB trace resistance, ADC offset, or system-level gain errors without redesigning the reference network.
