Product details
Overview
REF02CESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5V voltage reference with integrated linear temperature transducer output (TEMP pin), operating from -40°C to +85°C, featuring ±50mV initial accuracy, 65ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 10µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise, and 1mA quiescent current - used in high-accuracy ADC/DAC calibration and remote temperature sensing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the REF02CESA+T datasheet, REF02CESA+T pinout, REF02CESA+T application, or REF02CESA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SO-8 package mapping, TEMP pin functionality, load/line regulation behavior, and validated alternative options for industrial-grade voltage reference selection.
Technical Context
The REF02CESA+T implements a bandgap-based reference core with buffered 5V output and a dedicated TEMP pin delivering 630mV at 0°C with 2.1mV/°C slope. Its trim terminal supports ±6% output adjustment (±300mV) without degrading temperature stability beyond 0.7ppm/°C per 100mV shift.
It operates from 7V to 33V single supply, delivers up to 21mA load current, and maintains ±0.01%/V line regulation and ±0.01%/mA load regulation across its full temperature range. Short-circuit protection and indefinite short-duration tolerance are built-in.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±15mV at TA = +25°C - ensures binary-aligned 5V reference for 12-bit+ data converters. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±50mV (±1.0%) over full -40°C to +85°C range - enables system-level trimming without post-calibration. |
| Tempco (Max) | 65ppm/°C - limits drift to ±26.3mV over full temperature span, critical for unheated industrial enclosures. |
| Output Noise | 10µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - supports low-noise 16-bit SAR ADCs without external filtering. |
| TEMP Pin Output | 630mV @ 0°C, 2.1mV/°C slope - provides direct Kelvin-scaled analog temperature signal for remote sensor interfaces. |
| Supply Range | 7V to 33V - allows operation from standard 9V, 12V, or 24V rails without external regulators. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0–1.6mA - enables low-power battery-backed instrumentation with <16.5mW dissipation at 12V input. |
Pinout & Package
REF02CESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012 compliant, with exposed pad option not present. Pin 3 is the TEMP output; pins 1, 7, and 8 are no-connect on this variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - requires low-impedance connection to system AGND plane. |
| 3 | TEMP | Linear temperature transducer output - 630mV @ 0°C, 2.1mV/°C; limit current to ±50nA and capacitance to ≤30pF. |
| 4 | VIN | Positive supply input - accepts 7V–33V DC; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 5 | TRIM | Output voltage adjustment node - connect 10kΩ potentiometer between VO and GND for ±6% tuning. |
| 6 | VO | Regulated 5V reference output - capable of sourcing up to 21mA; requires local 1µF decoupling. |
| 7 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected - no routing or termination required. |
| 8 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected - no routing or termination required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pretrimmed 5V output | Guaranteed 4.95V–5.05V at +25°C - eliminates factory calibration for most industrial DAQ systems. |
| Integrated TEMP pin | Direct Kelvin-proportional analog output (2.1mV/°C) - replaces discrete thermistor+op-amp stages in temperature monitoring. |
| Adjustable output (±6%) | Supports 4.7V–5.3V tuning via external pot - enables system-level offset correction without firmware changes. |
| Low 10µVP-P noise | Minimizes quantization uncertainty in 16-bit+ ADC applications - avoids need for external low-noise op-amp buffering. |
| Short-circuit protected | Indefinite fault tolerance on VO or TEMP pins - enhances reliability in field-deployed test equipment. |

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 µP reference, not sensor interface | Select when only ultra-stable 2.5V is needed and TEMP functionality is unnecessary |
| LM4040C50IDBZR | 5.0V shunt reference, 20ppm/°C max, 60µA typical IQ, requires external bias resistor | Higher noise (20µVP-P), no TEMP output, limited load drive (<15mA), different topology | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-current applications where series topology and TEMP pin are not required |
Compared with REF02CESA+T, MAX6035AESA+ offers superior tempco but lacks the integrated temperature transducer and adjustable output, while LM4040C50IDBZR trades off noise performance, load capability, and TEMP functionality for lower cost and simpler biasing - making REF02CESA+T uniquely suited for combined reference + sensing roles in industrial analog front-ends.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the REF02CESA+T?
The REF02CESA+T is rated for continuous operation from -40°C to +85°C. This extended industrial temperature range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables of the official REF01/REF02 datasheet, distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants like REF02E (0°C to +70°C). The REF02CESA+T maintains all specified performance parameters-including initial accuracy, tempco, and TEMP pin slope-across this full range.
Does the REF02CESA+T provide a temperature output, and how is it used?
Yes, the REF02CESA+T provides a linear temperature-dependent voltage on pin 3 (TEMP), delivering 630mV at 0°C with a precise 2.1mV/°C slope. This output is designed for direct connection to an ADC input or differential receiver, enabling Kelvin-scaled temperature measurement without external components. Per datasheet Note 7, current into/out of the TEMP pin must be limited to ±50nA and capacitance to ≤30pF to preserve accuracy.
Can the output voltage of the REF02CESA+T be adjusted, and what is the adjustment range?
Yes, the REF02CESA+T output can be adjusted using the TRIM pin (pin 5) with an external 10kΩ potentiometer, enabling ±6% tuning around the nominal 5.000V - i.e., 4.70V to 5.30V. Datasheet Section "Output Adjustment" confirms this range applies to all REF02 variants including REF02CESA+T, and notes that adjustment introduces only ~0.7ppm/°C additional tempco per 100mV shift.
What is the maximum load current the REF02CESA+T can source?
The REF02CESA+T can source up to 21mA while maintaining output voltage within specified tolerance, as documented in the "Load Current" parameter under ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS-REF02C. This rating holds across the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range and is validated with VIN = +15V. At higher temperatures or lower input voltages, the practical limit may reduce due to power dissipation constraints in the SO-8 package (300mW max).
Is the REF02CESA+T pin-compatible with other REF02 variants in SO-8 packages?
Yes, the REF02CESA+T shares identical pinout and SO-8 (S8-2) package dimensions with all other REF02 SO variants including REF02HSA+, REF02CSA+, and REF02HSA. Pin functions - VO (6), TRIM (5), GND (2), VIN (4), TEMP (3), and NC (1,7,8) - are consistent across the family. However, electrical specifications (e.g., tempco, initial error) differ by grade, so substitution requires verification against system accuracy requirements.
