Product details
Overview
The MAX876AESA+TG002 from Maxim Integrated is a precision +10.000V voltage reference IC with ±0.03% initial accuracy, 7ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 29µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) output noise-designed for high-resolution 12-bit data-acquisition systems requiring stable excitation or calibration references in portable test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX876AESA+TG002 datasheet, MAX876AESA+TG002 pinout, MAX876AESA+TG002 application, or MAX876AESA+TG002 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10V output stability over –40°C to +85°C, ±600mV trim range via external potentiometer, TEMP pin for die-temperature monitoring, and SO-8 package compatibility with low-power, space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX876AESA+TG002 employs a proprietary curvature-corrected bandgap core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve 7ppm/°C max drift and 0.03% initial accuracy. Its TRIM pin enables ±6% output adjustment using a single 100kΩ potentiometer between OUT and GND.
It delivers 10V output with 320–550µA quiescent current across temperature, sources up to 10mA while sinking 2mA, and maintains 1ppm/V line regulation (VIN = 12V to 18V) and 1ppm/mA load regulation-enabling direct use in ADC/DAC reference rails without buffering in moderate-load applications.

| Line Regulation | 1ppm/V max (VIN = 12V to 18V) - rejects supply ripple in unregulated 12V rail environments |
| TRIM Range | ±600mV (±6%) - allows field calibration without redesigning feedback networks |
| TEMP Output | 630mV @ +25°C, +2.1mV/°C slope - provides direct die-temperature sensing for thermal compensation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5010IDR | 10V output, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 12µVRMS noise, 1mA IQ - lower noise but 3× higher supply current | Better for ultra-low-noise 16-bit systems; less suitable for battery operation due to IQ | Select REF5010IDR only when sub-20µV noise is mandatory and power budget allows ≥1mA continuous draw. |
| ADR445BRZ | 10V output, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 12µVRMS noise, 750µA IQ, SO-8 - similar performance but higher cost and no TEMP pin | Lacks integrated temperature sensor; requires external thermistor network for thermal compensation | Choose ADR445BRZ if TEMP functionality is unnecessary and tighter long-term drift (<15ppm/kh) is prioritized over system integration. |
Compared with REF5010IDR and ADR445BRZ, the MAX876AESA+TG002 uniquely combines 10V precision, ultra-low IQ (320µA), and integrated die-temperature sensing in SO-8 - making it optimal for portable, self-compensating, battery-sensitive instrumentation where board space and thermal awareness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX876AESA+TG002?
The MAX876AESA+TG002 has an absolute maximum IN-to-GND rating of +20V. However, functional operation is specified for VIN = 12V to 18V. Exceeding 18V may increase quiescent current and degrade long-term stability; sustained operation above 20V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Can the MAX876AESA+TG002 drive a 10kΩ load directly without buffer amplification?
Yes. The MAX876AESA+TG002 sources up to 10mA and sinks 2mA. A 10kΩ load at 10V draws only 1mA, well within its sourcing capability. Load regulation remains ≤1ppm/mA, so output deviation is <1µV - negligible for 12-bit applications. No buffer is required unless dynamic load transients exceed 10mA.
How does the TEMP pin on the MAX876AESA+TG002 function in practice?
The TEMP pin outputs 630mV at +25°C with +2.1mV/°C sensitivity, directly proportional to die temperature. In practice, it's used to feed an ADC channel for real-time thermal compensation - e.g., correcting reference drift in digital multimeters or adjusting sensor gain in portable DAQ systems. It must be unloaded for accuracy; adding >10kΩ load introduces measurable error.
Is the MAX876AESA+TG002 pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX87x family?
Yes. All MAX873/MAX875/MAX876 variants share identical SO-8 pinout and footprint (S8-4). The MAX876AESA+TG002 is mechanically and electrically pin-compatible with MAX873AESA+ and MAX875AESA+, differing only in output voltage (10V vs. 2.5V/5V), trim range (±600mV vs. ±100mV/±300mV), and TEMP voltage (630mV vs. 570mV).
What is the typical turn-on time for the MAX876AESA+TG002 to settle within 0.1% of 10V?
The MAX876AESA+TG002 typically settles to within 0.1% of 10V (±10mV) in 150µs with no output capacitor. With a 1µF output capacitor, turn-on time increases to ≤300µs due to RC charging. This behavior is consistent across all MAX87x variants and is verified in the datasheet's TURN-ON TRANSIENT plots (toc39–toc40).
