Product details
Overview
REF01CESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 10V voltage reference IC designed for high-stability analog systems. It delivers ±100mV initial accuracy, 65ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over –40°C to +85°C, and operates from 13V to 33V input with 1.4mA max quiescent current. Used in precision ADC/DAC calibration, digital voltmeters, and industrial sensor signal chains where wide-temperature stability is critical.
For engineers reviewing the REF01CESA+T datasheet, REF01CESA+T pinout, REF01CESA+T application, or REF01CESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its extended temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), SO-8 package, 10V output adjustability (±6%), low 20µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise, and guaranteed load regulation of 0.010%/mA up to 8mA.
Technical Context
The REF01CESA+T implements a bandgap-based reference core with internal trimming for 10V nominal output, supporting external adjustment via a 10kΩ potentiometer between TRIM and GND. Its architecture maintains stable performance across temperature via curvature-compensated circuitry, with self-heating effects included in line/load regulation specs.
It features short-circuit protection, indefinite output short duration capability, and operates as a two-terminal shunt-like device with VIN, VOUT, GND, and TRIM pins - no TEMP pin (unlike REF02). Input rejection exceeds 70dB, and turn-on settling time is 400µs to ±0.1%.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 10.00V ±100mV at TA = +25°C; enables direct replacement of 10V references in legacy metrology designs. |
| Tempco (Max) | 65ppm/°C over –40°C to +85°C; ensures ≤±5.2mV total drift across full operating range. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±100mV (±1.0%) at +25°C; supports 12-bit system calibration without post-manufacture trimming. |
| Input Voltage Range | 13V to 33V; compatible with standard industrial 15V/24V rails and avoids need for pre-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.4mA max; allows operation from low-power supplies while maintaining 10mA load capability. |
| Output Noise | 20µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz); preserves ENOB in 16-bit+ SAR ADCs without external filtering. |
| Load Regulation | 0.010%/mA (0–8mA); holds output within ±0.8mV under full load variation, critical for multiplexed reference distribution. |
Pinout & Package
REF01CESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package per JEDEC MS-012, 150mil body width, with gull-wing leads and Pb-free finish (RoHS compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOUT) | Reference Output | 10V precision source; requires low-ESR ceramic bypass (≥1µF) directly at pin for stability. |
| 2 (TRIM) | Adjustment Terminal | Connects to wiper of 10kΩ pot; ±6% output tuning with <0.7ppm/°C tempco shift per 100mV change. |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground | Return path for reference current and trim network; must be star-connected to minimize ground bounce. |
| 4 (N.C.) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; leave floating or tie to GND per layout best practice. |
| 5 (N.C.) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; no routing or soldering required. |
| 6 (VIN) | Positive Supply Input | Accepts 13V–33V; internal current-limiting protects against overvoltage transients. |
| 7 (N.C.) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; avoid routing traces or vias beneath this pad. |
| 8 (N.C.) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; electrically isolated from die. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pretrimmed 10V Output | Factory-set to 10.00V ±100mV, eliminating need for manual calibration in production test. |
| Wide-Temperature Operation | Specified from –40°C to +85°C, enabling use in outdoor instrumentation and automotive under-hood modules. |
| Adjustable Output Range | ±6% tuning (9.4V–10.6V) supports binary-scaled references like 10.240V for 10-bit DAC full-scale alignment. |
| Short-Circuit Protected | Withstands indefinite output short to GND or VIN without latch-up or parametric shift. |
| Low Wideband Noise | 20µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) and <1µV/√Hz at 10kHz enables high-resolution data acquisition without added filtering. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF01CSA+ | Same 10V output, 65ppm/°C tempco, but rated only for 0°C to +70°C; identical SO-8 package and pinout. | Limited to commercial-temperature industrial controls; unsuitable for extended-temperature deployments. | Select REF01CSA+ only when ambient stays within 0°C–70°C and cost sensitivity outweighs reliability margin. |
| MAX6143AESA+ | 10V output, 20ppm/°C max tempco, 0.1% initial accuracy, SO-8; lower noise (12µVP-P) but higher 2.5mA quiescent current. | Better stability for metrology-grade systems; tighter spec compliance at expense of power budget. | Choose MAX6143AESA+ when sub-20ppm/°C drift is mandatory and supply headroom permits 2.5mA draw. |
Compared with REF01CESA+T, REF01CSA+ sacrifices extended temperature coverage for identical cost and footprint, while MAX6143AESA+ trades higher quiescent current for significantly improved temperature stability and noise - making it suitable for calibration labs but less ideal for battery-powered field instruments.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for REF01CESA+T?
The absolute maximum input voltage for REF01CESA+T is 40V. However, the recommended operating range is 13V to 33V per the datasheet's electrical characteristics table. Exceeding 33V may degrade long-term stability or increase self-heating beyond specified limits, even if within absolute max ratings. Always maintain VIN within 13V–33V for guaranteed REF01CESA+T performance across –40°C to +85°C.
Does REF01CESA+T include a temperature output pin like REF02?
No, REF01CESA+T does not have a temperature output pin. Pin 3 is designated N.C. (No Connection), unlike REF02 variants which use pin 3 as a TEMP output with 2.1mV/°C slope. The REF01CESA+T is strictly a 10V reference device with TRIM, VOUT, VIN, and GND functionality - all other pins are internally unconnected. This simplifies layout for pure reference applications without thermal sensing needs.
Can REF01CESA+T be used to generate a 10.240V reference for binary-scaled ADCs?
Yes, REF01CESA+T supports precise 10.240V output generation using its TRIM pin. With a 10kΩ potentiometer connected between TRIM and GND, the output can be adjusted ±6% (±600mV) around 10.00V. Setting the trim to +2.4% yields 10.240V, and the datasheet confirms that such adjustment introduces only ~0.7ppm/°C additional tempco per 100mV - preserving REF01CESA+T's stability for high-resolution ADC applications.
What is the short-circuit behavior of REF01CESA+T?
REF01CESA+T is short-circuit protected and rated for indefinite output short duration to either GND or VIN. Internal current limiting prevents damage during fault conditions, and output voltage recovers fully after short removal without parameter shift. This feature enables robust operation in systems prone to wiring faults or connector mismates, ensuring REF01CESA+T remains functional and specification-compliant after transient shorts.
Is REF01CESA+T RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, REF01CESA+T is RoHS compliant and features a lead-free (Pb-free) finish, as indicated by the "+" suffix in the part number per Maxim's ordering nomenclature. The SO-8 package uses matte tin plating over copper leadframe, qualified to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3), and compatible with standard reflow profiles including peak temperatures up to 260°C.
