Product details
Overview
REF01CSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 10V voltage reference IC in 8-pin SOIC package, featuring ±100mV initial output error, 65ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 10mA max load current, and 1.6mA max quiescent current. It delivers stable reference voltage for high-accuracy data conversion and calibration systems operating from 13V to 30V input.
For engineers reviewing the REF01CSA+T datasheet, REF01CSA+T pinout, REF01CSA+T application, or REF01CSA+T equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-8 terminal mapping, trim-adjustable 10V operation, thermal stability data across 0°C to +70°C, and validated alternatives for precision analog system design.
Technical Context
The REF01CSA+T implements a bandgap-based reference core with external trim capability via a dedicated TRIM pin, enabling ±6% (±600mV) output adjustment without degrading temperature stability beyond 0.7ppm/°C per 100mV of adjustment. Its single-supply architecture operates from 13V to 30V with no need for negative rails.
It features short-circuit protection, indefinite output short-circuit duration to ground or VIN, and guaranteed performance over 0°C to +70°C. Unlike REF02 variants, REF01CSA+T has no TEMP pin-pin 3 is NC-and does not provide temperature transduction 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 ADC/DAC full-scale calibration. |
| Tempco (Max) | 65 ppm/°C over 0°C to +70°C - limits drift to ±450 µV across full operating range. |
| Initial Error | ±100 mV - defines worst-case offset before system-level trimming. |
| Load Current | 8 mA (min), 21 mA (max) - supports direct drive of op-amp buffers or moderate-current references. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6 mA max - enables low-power precision reference use in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 13 V to 30 V - compatible with standard +15V supplies and accommodates aging or ripple margins. |
| Output Adjustment | ±6% (±600 mV) via external 10kΩ potentiometer - allows binary-aligned 10.240V setting for 10-bit systems. |
Pinout & Package
REF01CSA+T is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO) package (S8-2), 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOUT) | Reference Output | 10V precision output node; requires low-ESR bypass capacitor (≥1µF) for noise suppression. |
| 2 (TRIM) | Output Adjustment | Connects to wiper of 10kΩ potentiometer between VOUT and GND to adjust output ±6%. |
| 3 (NC) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND (not used for temperature sensing). |
| 4 (GND) | Analog Ground | Primary return path for reference current; separate from power ground in mixed-signal layouts. |
| 5 (VIN) | Positive Supply Input | Accepts 13V–30V DC; internal regulation rejects line ripple up to 0.012%/V. |
| 6 (N.C.) | No Connection | Unused pin; electrically isolated-no routing or soldering required. |
| 7 (N.C.) | No Connection | Unused pin; electrically isolated-no routing or soldering required. |
| 8 (N.C.) | No Connection | Unused pin; electrically isolated-no routing or soldering required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pretrimmed 10V output | Guaranteed 9.90V–10.10V at +25°C eliminates need for factory calibration in most applications. |
| Adjustable output range | ±600mV trim range enables system-level error correction and binary-aligned 10.240V configuration. |
| Short-circuit protected | Indefinite short-circuit survival to GND or VIN prevents latch-up or permanent damage during fault conditions. |
| Low-output-noise design | 30 µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) ensures minimal contribution to ADC effective resolution loss. |
| Stable under load variation | 0.015%/mA load regulation maintains accuracy across 0–8mA output current swing. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF01HSA+ | Lower tempco (25ppm/°C vs. 65ppm/°C); same SOIC-8 package and pinout. | Suitable for extended industrial environments where tighter thermal drift is required. | Select REF01HSA+ when system-level temperature stability budget demands <300µV drift over 0°C–70°C. |
| MAX6143AESA+ | Higher initial accuracy (±0.1% vs. ±1%), lower noise (12µVP-P), but fixed 10.000V output (no trim pin). | Better for production systems where factory calibration is feasible and trim flexibility is unnecessary. | Choose MAX6143AESA+ for automated test equipment needing guaranteed 10.000V ±10mV without manual adjustment. |
Compared with REF01CSA+T, REF01HSA+ improves thermal stability at higher cost and same footprint, while MAX6143AESA+ trades trim flexibility for tighter initial accuracy and lower noise-making each optimal for distinct calibration strategy priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for REF01CSA+T?
The absolute maximum input voltage for REF01CSA+T is 30V DC. Exceeding this value risks permanent damage. The device operates reliably within its specified 13V to 30V input range, with line regulation performance guaranteed at 0.011%/V across that span. REF01CSA+T includes internal protection circuitry but must not be subjected to transient overvoltage beyond 30V, even momentarily.
Does REF01CSA+T support temperature sensing like REF02?
No, REF01CSA+T does not support temperature sensing. Pin 3 is designated NC (No Connection) and is internally unconnected. In contrast, REF02 variants feature a TEMP pin with 2.1mV/°C output. REF01CSA+T is strictly a 10V reference with trim capability-its design excludes any temperature transducer function, and using it for thermal measurement is not supported.
Can REF01CSA+T be used to generate a precise 10.240V reference?
Yes, REF01CSA+T can be adjusted to 10.240V using the TRIM pin and an external 10kΩ potentiometer. Its ±6% output adjustment range covers 9.4V to 10.6V, fully encompassing 10.240V. The datasheet confirms that output adjustment introduces only ~0.7ppm/°C additional tempco per 100mV shift, preserving stability for binary-aligned applications such as 10-bit ADC full-scale calibration.
What is the minimum load current required for REF01CSA+T to maintain regulation?
REF01CSA+T does not require a minimum load current to maintain regulation-it functions correctly with zero load (IL = 0mA). Its output remains stable and within specification down to no-load conditions. However, load regulation is characterized from 0mA to 8mA, and performance degrades beyond 8mA depending on ambient temperature and input voltage. For best accuracy, operate within the 0–8mA range.
Is REF01CSA+T pin-compatible with other REF01 variants in SOIC-8?
Yes, REF01CSA+T is pin-compatible with all REF01 variants in the S8-2 (8-pin SO) package-including REF01HSA+, REF01ESA+, and REF01CESA+. All share identical pinout: VOUT (1), TRIM (2), NC (3), GND (4), VIN (5), and three NC pins (6–8). This allows direct substitution within the same package family when upgrading tempco or temperature range, provided system-level validation confirms suitability.
