Product details
Overview
REF02CSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5V voltage reference IC with integrated linear temperature transducer output (TEMP pin), ±50mV initial accuracy, 65ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 8-pin SO package. It operates from 7V to 33V input, delivers up to 21mA load current, and supports system calibration and remote temperature sensing in industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the REF02CSA+T datasheet, REF02CSA+T pinout, REF02CSA+T application, or REF02CSA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5V output stability over 0°C to +70°C, TEMP pin linearity (2.1mV/°C), low 10µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise, and trimmable ±6% output range for error correction in high-resolution ADC/DAC references.
Technical Context
The REF02CSA+T implements a bandgap-based reference core with buffered 5V output and dedicated TEMP pin delivering 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 change.
It features short-circuit protection, indefinite output short duration capability, and operates with 1.0–1.4mA quiescent current. Input voltage range (7V–33V) and load regulation (0.005–0.010%/mA) are optimized for single-supply industrial instrumentation where supply rails vary and load conditions shift dynamically.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.950V to 5.050V at +25°C, enabling ±1% tolerance compliance before trimming |
| Initial Accuracy | ±50mV (±1%), supporting 12-bit system calibration without external trimming |
| Tempco (Max) | 65ppm/°C over 0°C to +70°C, limiting drift to ±2.275mV across full operating range |
| Output Noise | 12µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz), critical for sub-LSB stability in 16-bit ADC references |
| TEMP Pin Output | 630mV at +25°C with 2.1mV/°C slope, enabling direct Kelvin-to-voltage conversion |
| Load Current | Up to 21mA sink/source, sufficient to drive op-amp buffers and multiple ADC references |
| Input Voltage Range | 7V to 30V (REF02C grade), compatible with standard 9V/12V/24V industrial rails |
Pinout & Package
REF02CSA+T is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO) package (S8-2), surface-mount, lead-free, with 1.27mm pitch and JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOUT) | Reference output | Stable 5V source; requires 10µF bypass capacitor for noise suppression |
| 2 (TRIM) | Output adjustment node | Connects to 10kΩ potentiometer for ±6% output tuning; high-impedance input |
| 3 (TEMP) | Temperature transducer output | Provides 2.1mV/°C analog temperature signal; limit current to ±50nA and capacitance to ≤30pF |
| 4 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Must be star-connected to minimize ground bounce in mixed-signal systems |
| 5 (N.C.) | No connection | Internally unconnected; leave floating or tie to GND per layout best practice |
| 6 (VIN) | Positive supply input | Accepts 7V–30V; requires local 1µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin |
| 7 (N.C.) | No connection | Internally unconnected; no routing required |
| 8 (N.C.) | No connection | Internally unconnected; no routing required |
Key Features

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+ | Lower max tempco (25ppm/°C vs. 65ppm/°C); same SO-8 package and pinout | Better suited for extended-temperature industrial environments where drift budget is tighter | Select REF02HSA+ when operating above +70°C or requiring <±0.875mV total drift over temperature |
| MAX6035AESA+ | Shunt reference (2.5V), 15ppm/°C, 35µA quiescent current, SOT23-3 package | Requires external bias resistor; lower power but no TEMP output or adjustable output | Choose MAX6035AESA+ only for ultra-low-power, space-constrained designs where temperature sensing is handled separately |
Compared with REF02HSA+ and MAX6035AESA+, the REF02CSA+T offers unique integration of adjustable 5V reference and linear temperature transduction in one SO-8 device-enabling simultaneous voltage referencing and thermal monitoring without additional ICs or layout area.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the REF02CSA+T?
The REF02CSA+T is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range aligns with standard industrial control environments and avoids the cost premium of extended-temperature variants like REF02CESA+. The device's 65ppm/°C max tempco ensures predictable performance across this span, and all electrical characteristics-including TEMP pin output and output voltage stability-are guaranteed within this range per the official Maxim datasheet.
Can the REF02CSA+T be used as a standalone temperature sensor?
Yes, the REF02CSA+T can serve as a standalone temperature sensor via its dedicated TEMP pin, which outputs 630mV at +25°C with a precise 2.1mV/°C slope. When used this way, the device requires only a stable 7V–30V supply and proper current limiting (<±50nA) on the TEMP pin. Its linearity and known offset enable direct Kelvin-to-voltage conversion without calibration-making REF02CSA+T suitable for cabinet monitoring, thermal shutdown circuits, and ambient sensing where moderate accuracy (±1.5°C) suffices.
How does the TRIM pin on the REF02CSA+T affect temperature stability?
The TRIM pin on the REF02CSA+T allows ±6% output adjustment (±300mV around 5V) with minimal impact on temperature stability: output voltage temperature coefficient degrades by only 0.7ppm/°C per 100mV of adjustment. This means a full ±300mV trim introduces at most ±2.1ppm/°C added tempco uncertainty-well within the 65ppm/°C maximum spec. Therefore, REF02CSA+T retains its guaranteed drift performance even when trimmed, supporting system-level error correction without sacrificing thermal robustness.
What is the maximum load current the REF02CSA+T can drive?
The REF02CSA+T can source or sink up to 21mA while maintaining output voltage within specification. This capability is confirmed across the full 0°C to +70°C range and supports driving op-amp buffers, multiple ADC references, or small discrete loads directly. At 10mA load, load regulation is 0.005%/mA-equivalent to just ±0.5mV change-making REF02CSA+T suitable for multi-channel data acquisition systems where a single reference serves several downstream stages.
Is the REF02CSA+T pin-compatible with other REF02 variants?
Yes, the REF02CSA+T is pin-compatible with all 8-pin SO-packaged REF02 variants-including REF02HSA+, REF02CESA+, and REF02ESA+-as they share identical S8-2 footprint, pin numbering, and terminal functions. Pin 3 is TEMP on all REF02 versions (unlike REF01, where it is N.C.), and VOUT/TRIM/GND/VIN assignments are consistent. This allows direct substitution for tempco or temperature-range upgrades without PCB redesign, provided the system's thermal and accuracy requirements match the selected variant's specifications.
