Product details
Overview
REF01CESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision 10V voltage reference IC with ±100mV initial output error, 65ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and -40°C to +85°C operating range in an 8-pin SO package. It supports adjustable output (±6% via external trim resistor), delivers up to 10mA load current, and maintains low 0.010%/V line regulation - used in high-accuracy ADC/DAC calibration and industrial sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the REF01CESA+ datasheet, REF01CESA+ pinout, REF01CESA+ application, or REF01CESA+ equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, SO-package layout guidance, and validated alternatives for extended-temperature precision reference designs.
Technical Context
The REF01CESA+ implements a bandgap-based reference core with internal trimming and buffered output stage, enabling stable 10V generation across wide temperature and supply variations. Its trim terminal allows ±600mV adjustment without degrading temperature stability beyond 0.7ppm/°C per 100mV shift.
Designed for single-supply operation from 13V to 33V, it draws only 1.0–1.6mA quiescent current and features indefinite short-circuit protection. Unlike REF02 variants, REF01CESA+ has no TEMP pin - pin 3 is NC, confirming its dedicated 10V reference role without transducer functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 10.00 V ±100 mV at TA = +25°C - sets absolute accuracy baseline for system calibration. |
| Tempco (Max) | 65 ppm/°C over -40°C to +85°C - limits worst-case drift to ±5.2 mV across full range. |
| Initial Error | ±100 mV - defines maximum offset before system-level trimming. |
| Load Current | 10 mA max - supports direct driving of op-amp inputs or moderate-current DAC references. |
| Line Regulation | 0.011%/V (13V–30V) - ensures <±0.3 mV output change per volt input variation. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0–1.6 mA - enables low-power precision reference in battery-backed systems. |
| Output Noise | 25–35 µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - critical for high-resolution 24-bit ADC applications. |
Pinout & Package
REF01CESA+ is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO) package (S8-2 footprint), 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch, gull-wing leads. RoHS-compliant and lead-free (+ suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOUT) | Reference Output | 10V precision output node; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass for stability. |
| 2 (TRIM) | Adjustment Terminal | Connects to 10kΩ potentiometer between VOUT and GND for ±6% output tuning. |
| 3 (NC) | No Connection | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected - not usable as TEMP or auxiliary function. |
| 4 (GND) | Analog Ground | Primary return path; separate from power ground in mixed-signal layouts. |
| 5 (VIN) | Input Supply | 13V–30V DC input; minimum headroom 3V above VOUT for regulation. |
| 6 (N.C.) | No Connection | Internally unused; leave floating or tie to GND per layout best practice. |
| 7 (N.C.) | No Connection | Internally unused; same handling as pin 6. |
| 8 (N.C.) | No Connection | Internally unused; no functional role in REF01 family. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pretrimmed 10V output | Reduces system calibration time by eliminating factory trim steps for nominal 10V use. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6143AESA+ | 10V output, 5ppm/°C max tempco, 2.7–18V supply, 1.5mA IQ, SO-8 package | Lower tempco and wider supply range but no output trim capability | Select when ultra-stable tempco outweighs need for field-adjustable output. |
| ADR03ARZ | 10V output, 20ppm/°C max tempco, 4.5–36V supply, 1.2mA IQ, SO-8 package | Higher initial error (±150mV), no trim, but superior long-term stability (25ppm/1000h) | Select for cost-sensitive industrial systems where recalibration is impractical. |
Compared with REF01CESA+, MAX6143AESA+ offers tighter thermal drift but sacrifices adjustability, while ADR03ARZ trades initial accuracy and trim for better aging performance - both require PCB layout review due to differing PSRR and noise spectral profiles.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for REF01CESA+?
The absolute maximum input voltage for REF01CESA+ is 40V, but the recommended operating range is 13V to 30V DC. Exceeding 30V reduces power dissipation margin and may impact long-term reliability under continuous operation - always verify thermal derating per the SO package's 5.0mW/°C above +55°C limit.
Does REF01CESA+ include a temperature output pin like REF02?
No, REF01CESA+ does not provide a temperature output. Pin 3 is explicitly designated NC (no connection) per Maxim's pin configuration diagram and datasheet. Only REF02 variants feature the TEMP pin with 2.1mV/°C output - REF01CESA+ is strictly a 10V reference device with no integrated transducer function.
Can REF01CESA+ be used in a dual-supply circuit?
REF01CESA+ is designed for single-supply operation only. Its internal architecture requires VIN ≥ 13V referenced to GND, and all pins (including GND) are referenced to that common ground. It cannot operate with split supplies or negative VIN - use discrete level-shifting or isolated supplies if interfacing with bipolar signal chains.
What is the purpose of the TRIM pin on REF01CESA+?
The TRIM pin on REF01CESA+ enables ±6% output adjustment (±600mV around 10V) using an external 10kΩ potentiometer between VOUT and GND. This allows correction of system-level errors such as DAC gain mismatch or resistor tolerance stack-up, with minimal impact on temperature coefficient (≤0.7ppm/°C per 100mV shift).
Is REF01CESA+ pin-compatible with other REF01 variants in SO packages?
Yes, REF01CESA+ shares identical pinout and footprint with all REF01xSA and REF01xSA+ variants in the S8-2 SO-8 package, including REF01HSA+, REF01CSA+, and REF01ESA+. All have VOUT–TRIM–NC–GND–VIN–NC–NC–NC pin assignments and require no PCB changes when substituting within the same temperature grade and accuracy tier.
