Product details
Overview
REF02CESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5V voltage reference with integrated linear temperature transducer output (TEMP pin), designed for high-stability analog systems operating from -40°C to +85°C. It delivers ±50mV initial accuracy, 65ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 10µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise, and supports 10mA load current with 1mA quiescent supply current. It is used in precision ADC/DAC calibration, remote temperature sensing, and industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the REF02CESA+ datasheet, REF02CESA+ pinout, REF02CESA+ application, or REF02CESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), TEMP pin linearity (2.1mV/°C), ±6% output adjustability via external resistor, and SO-8 package compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The REF02CESA+ implements a bandgap-based reference core with buffered 5V output and a dedicated TEMP terminal that provides a voltage proportional to absolute temperature (VT = 2.1 × (T + 273) mV). Its trim terminal allows ±300mV adjustment without degrading temperature stability beyond 0.7ppm/°C per 100mV of adjustment.
It operates from a single 7V–33V supply, features short-circuit protection, and maintains ±0.01%/V line regulation and ±0.01%/mA load regulation over its full temperature range. The TEMP pin requires ≤50nA current sourcing/sinking and ≤30pF capacitance for specified accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000 V ±50 mV at TA = +25°C - sets system gain/offset baseline with known error budget |
| Tempco (max) | 65 ppm/°C over -40°C to +85°C - limits drift to ±26.3 mV across full range |
| Initial Accuracy | ±50 mV - enables direct use in 12-bit systems without trimming |
| Output Noise | 10 µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - supports <16-bit resolution in low-frequency measurement |
| TEMP Pin Output | 630 mV at +25°C, 2.1 mV/°C slope - provides calibrated absolute temperature sensing without external signal conditioning |
| Supply Range | 7V to 33V - compatible with standard industrial 12V/24V rails and legacy ±15V supplies |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0–1.4 mA - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems |
Pinout & Package
REF02CESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package (PKG Code S8-2), surface-mount compatible, with 1.27mm pitch and JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOUT) | Reference Output | Stable 5V source; drives loads up to 10mA with minimal regulation error |
| 2 (TRIM) | Output Adjustment | Connects to external 10kΩ potentiometer to tune output ±6% (±300mV) without affecting tempco significantly |
| 3 (TEMP) | Temperature Transducer | Provides 2.1mV/°C output referenced to GND; requires ≤30pF loading for linearity |
| 4 (GND) | Analog Ground | Return path for reference and TEMP outputs; must be low-impedance and separate from digital ground |
| 5 (N.C.) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| 6 (VIN) | Positive Supply Input | Accepts 7V–33V DC; internal regulator rejects ripple and line variations |
| 7 (N.C.) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| 8 (N.C.) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6035AESA+ | 2.5V fixed output, 15ppm/°C max tempco, 3.6V–18V supply, no TEMP pin | Lacks temperature transduction; suited for low-voltage, ultra-stable references where space or power is constrained | Select when 5V output and temperature sensing are not required, and tighter tempco is critical |
| LM4040C50IDBZR | 5V shunt reference, 100ppm/°C max tempco, 60µA typical IQ, no TRIM or TEMP pins | Requires external bias resistor; unsuitable for TEMP-based sensing or output trimming | Select for cost-sensitive, low-quiescent-current applications where ±1% accuracy suffices and board space is limited |
Compared with MAX6035AESA+ and LM4040C50IDBZR, REF02CESA+ uniquely combines 5V precision, wide-temp operation, output adjustability, and integrated temperature transduction in one SO-8 package-making it optimal for multi-function analog subsystems where integration reduces component count and improves system-level accuracy.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable capacitance on the TEMP pin of the REF02CESA+?
The REF02CESA+ datasheet specifies a maximum capacitance of 30pF on the TEMP pin to maintain linearity and accuracy of the temperature transducer output. Exceeding this value may cause instability or deviation from the nominal 2.1mV/°C slope. For remote sensing, use shielded twisted-pair cabling and avoid adding bypass capacitors directly at the pin unless compensated per application note AN6029.
Can the REF02CESA+ operate from a 5V supply?
No, the REF02CESA+ requires a minimum input voltage of 7V to regulate its internal 5V reference and TEMP circuitry properly. Attempting to power it from 5V will result in unregulated output and undefined TEMP pin behavior. For 5V-supply systems, consider alternatives like the MAX6035AESA+ (2.5V) or external boost regulation.
Does the REF02CESA+ support bidirectional current on the TEMP pin?
No-the TEMP pin of the REF02CESA+ is a unidirectional voltage source designed to sink or source only up to ±50nA. It must not be driven by external voltage sources or loaded with active circuitry. Connecting op-amps or ADC inputs directly is acceptable if input bias current remains below 50nA and input capacitance stays ≤30pF.
How does output trimming affect the temperature coefficient of the REF02CESA+?
Trimming the REF02CESA+ output changes its temperature coefficient by approximately 0.7ppm/°C per 100mV of adjustment. For example, adjusting from 5.000V to 5.300V increases the worst-case tempco from 65ppm/°C to ~67.1ppm/°C over -40°C to +85°C. This effect is linear and documented in the datasheet's "Change in VO Temperature Coefficient with Output Adjustment" parameter.
Is the REF02CESA+ pin-compatible with other REF02 variants in SO-8 packages?
Yes-the REF02CESA+ shares identical pinout, footprint, and electrical interface with all REF02xSA and REF02xSA+ variants in SO-8 (S8-2) packages, including REF02HSA+, REF02CSA+, and REF02CESA. Differences lie solely in temperature range, tempco, and initial accuracy-not connectivity or function mapping.
