Product details
Overview
REF02CSA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5V voltage reference with integrated linear temperature transducer output (TEMP pin), designed for high-accuracy analog systems requiring stable excitation and thermal monitoring. It delivers ±50mV initial accuracy, 65ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over 0°C to +70°C, 10µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise, and operates from 7V to 33V input supply - used in precision ADC/DAC calibration, digital voltmeters, and temperature-sensing front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the REF02CSA+ datasheet, REF02CSA+ pinout, REF02CSA+ application, or REF02CSA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-function 5V reference + temperature-voltage output (630mV at 25°C, 2.1mV/°C slope), SO-8 package compatibility, trim-adjustable ±6% output range, and guaranteed short-circuit protection without derating.
Technical Context
The REF02CSA+ integrates a bandgap-based 5V reference core with a dedicated TEMP pin that outputs a voltage linearly proportional to absolute temperature (VT = 2.1 × (T + 273) mV). Its trim terminal allows ±300mV adjustment of the main output without degrading temperature stability beyond 0.7ppm/°C per 100mV shift.
It supports single-supply operation from 7V to 33V, draws only 1.0–1.4mA quiescent current, and maintains ±0.01%/V line regulation and ±0.01%/mA load regulation across its full operating range - enabling direct use in low-power, wide-input industrial sensor signal chains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.975V to 5.025V at 25°C (±0.5% tolerance); enables direct interface with 5V logic and 12-/16-bit ADCs without scaling. |
| Tempco (Max) | 65ppm/°C over 0°C to +70°C; ensures ≤3.25mV total drift across industrial ambient range - critical for <0.1% system accuracy. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±50mV (±1.0%) at 25°C; allows system-level trimming via external 10kΩ potentiometer on TRIM pin. |
| Output Noise | 10µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz); minimizes quantization uncertainty in high-resolution digitization of slow-varying signals. |
| TEMP Pin Output | 630mV at +25°C with 2.1mV/°C slope; provides ratiometric, self-calibrating temperature sensing without external components. |
| Supply Range | 7V to 33V DC; supports operation from unregulated 9V/12V rails and battery-backed supplies in portable instrumentation. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0–1.4mA; enables continuous operation in power-constrained embedded systems with <15mW dissipation in SO-8 package. |
Pinout & Package
REF02CSA+ is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO) package (S8-2), measuring 4.9mm × 6.0mm × 1.75mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and lead-free (RoHS-compliant) finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOUT) | Main reference output | Stable 5V source; capable of sourcing up to 10mA and sinking 0.3mA while maintaining specified accuracy. |
| 2 (TRIM) | Voltage adjustment node | Connects to external 10kΩ potentiometer; adjusts VOUT by ±300mV (±6%) with negligible tempco impact. |
| 3 (TEMP) | Temperature transducer output | Outputs 630mV at 25°C, varying linearly at 2.1mV/°C; requires ≤50nA load and ≤30pF capacitance for accuracy. |
| 4 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Common return for VOUT, TRIM, TEMP, and VIN; must be low-impedance to avoid ground bounce errors. |
| 5 (VIN) | Positive supply input | Accepts 7V–33V DC; internal current limiting protects against overvoltage and reverse polarity during board insertion. |
| 6 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or stitching to ground/power. |
| 7 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; PCB pad may be omitted or left unconnected per layout best practices. |
| 8 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; serves as mechanical support only; no electrical function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pretrimmed 5V output | Factory-set to 5.000V ±15mV (REF02E/H grade) or ±25mV (REF02H); REF02CSA+ uses ±50mV spec but retains same core architecture. |
| Integrated temperature sensor | Monolithic TEMP pin output eliminates need for discrete thermistor or RTD interface circuitry - reduces BOM count and calibration complexity. |
| Low-noise reference core | 10µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise floor enables sub-LSB stability in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems without external filtering. |
| Short-circuit protected output | Withstands indefinite short to GND or VIN without latch-up or parametric shift - simplifies fault-tolerant design in field-deployed equipment. |
| Adjustable output with minimal tempco penalty | TRIM pin enables system-level calibration; each 100mV output shift adds only 0.7ppm/°C to tempco - preserves thermal performance during tuning. |
Applications
| High-Accuracy Digital Voltmeters | Precision Temperature Monitoring Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF02HSA+ | Same SO-8 package, but tighter 25ppm/°C max tempco and ±25mV initial error; higher cost. | Better suited for extended-temperature or metrology-grade designs where 0°C–70°C drift budget is <1.75mV. | Select REF02HSA+ when system-level accuracy demands <0.035% reference drift over temperature - REF02CSA+ remains optimal for cost-sensitive industrial control. |
| MAX6035AESA+ | 5V shunt reference (not series), SOT23-3 package, 20ppm/°C tempco, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 65µA quiescent current. | Requires external bias resistor; unsuitable for TEMP functionality or >1mA load; lower power but no temperature output. | Choose MAX6035AESA+ only for ultra-low-power, space-constrained applications where temperature sensing is handled separately - REF02CSA+ is irreplaceable when dual 5V reference + TEMP output is required. |
Compared with REF02HSA+, REF02CSA+ trades 40ppm/°C higher tempco for lower unit cost and identical SO-8 footprint; versus MAX6035AESA+, it offers 15× higher load drive, integrated TEMP output, and series topology - making REF02CSA+ the sole option for combined precision reference and analog temperature transduction in one SO-8 IC.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the REF02CSA+?
The REF02CSA+ is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This industrial-grade temperature range is validated per Maxim's datasheet specifications for the REF02C grade, and applies to all SO-8 packaged variants including REF02CSA+. The device is not characterized for operation below 0°C or above +70°C - use REF02CESA+ for -40°C to +85°C extended-range applications.
Can the REF02CSA+ be used as a standalone temperature sensor without using its 5V reference output?
Yes, the REF02CSA+ can operate with only the TEMP pin active, provided VIN is applied within 7V–33V and GND is connected. The TEMP pin delivers 630mV at +25°C with a precise 2.1mV/°C slope, independent of the 5V output state. However, the 5V reference must still be properly terminated (e.g., with ≥10kΩ load) to maintain internal bias stability - leaving VOUT open may cause TEMP output inaccuracy.
What is the maximum load current the REF02CSA+ can drive on its VOUT pin?
The REF02CSA+ can source up to 10mA while maintaining output voltage accuracy within specification (±0.01%/mA load regulation). At 25°C and VIN = 15V, it guarantees operation up to 10mA; under worst-case conditions (70°C, min VIN), the practical limit is ~8mA. Exceeding this may cause output droop or increased tempco - always verify with actual load and thermal conditions in final design.
How does the TRIM pin on the REF02CSA+ affect the TEMP pin output?
The TRIM pin adjusts only the main 5V reference output (VOUT); it has no effect on the TEMP pin voltage or its temperature coefficient. The TEMP output remains fixed at 630mV ±10mV at +25°C with 2.1mV/°C slope regardless of VOUT adjustment. This isolation is confirmed in Maxim's REF02 datasheet Section "Output Adjustment" and Figure 5 (Precision Temperature Transducer).
Is the REF02CSA+ pin-compatible with other REF02 variants in SO-8 packages?
Yes, the REF02CSA+ shares identical pinout, footprint, and electrical interface with all SO-8 REF02 variants (e.g., REF02HSA+, REF02CESA+). All use the S8-2 package with VOUT–TRIM–TEMP–GND–VIN–NC–NC–NC pin assignment. This allows direct substitution within the same temperature grade family - though performance specs (tempco, initial error) differ, PCB layout requires no changes.
