Product details
Overview
REF02CS-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a precision 5.0 V voltage reference IC designed for high-stability analog signal chains, offering ±0.3% initial accuracy (A/E grade), 8.5 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 15 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz) low-frequency noise, and 10 mA load-driving capability in an 8-lead SOIC package. It serves as the primary reference for high-resolution ADCs, DACs, and calibration circuits in industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the REF02CS-REEL7 datasheet, REF02CS-REEL7 pinout, REF02CS-REEL7 application, or REF02CS-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include output stability over −40°C to +85°C, trim-adjustable output (±3%), TEMP pin-based temperature monitoring (1.96 mV/°C), and compatibility with low-noise, space-constrained precision systems requiring stable 5 V reference rails.
Technical Context
The REF02CS-REEL7 implements a laser-trimmed band gap core with internal op amp feedback to deliver a fixed 5.0 V output. Its TEMP pin provides direct access to the unbuffered PTAT voltage (580 mV at 25°C, 1.96 mV/°C slope), enabling on-chip temperature sensing without external components.
It supports output trimming via an external 10 kΩ potentiometer connected to the TRIM pin, allowing ±3% adjustment while preserving temperature performance when low-TC resistors are used. The device operates from 7.0 V to 36 V input and maintains regulation down to 2 V dropout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000 V nominal, ±15 mV (±0.3%) initial accuracy for A/E grades - ensures minimal system gain error in 16-bit+ data converters. |
| Tempco | ≤8.5 ppm/°C (−55°C to +125°C, A grade) - enables <±0.5 mV drift over full industrial range, critical for long-term calibration stability. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 15 µVp-p typical - suppresses low-frequency noise contribution in precision measurement front-ends. |
| Load Drive | 10 mA sourcing capability - directly drives ADC reference inputs, op amp buffers, or small DACs without external amplification. |
| Supply Range | 7.0 V to 36 V - accommodates wide-input industrial power rails and battery-backed systems with minimal headroom constraints. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.4 mA max - balances low-power operation with high-precision performance in always-on monitoring applications. |
| TEMP Pin Output | 580 mV @ 25°C, 1.96 mV/°C sensitivity - provides calibrated, linear temperature telemetry with no external sensor required. |
Pinout & Package
REF02CS-REEL7 is housed in an 8-lead SOIC (S-suffix) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint (5.3 mm × 6.2 mm, 1.27 mm pitch). Thermal resistance θJA = 130°C/W enables reliable operation up to +85°C ambient without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7, 8 | NC | No internal connection; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice - avoids parasitic coupling or ESD path disruption. |
| 2 | VIN | Unregulated input supply (7.0–36 V); requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for transient immunity. |
| 3 | TEMP | Band gap PTAT voltage output (580 mV @ 25°C, 1.96 mV/°C); buffered only by external op amp if driving >10 kΩ loads. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; must connect to clean, low-impedance system ground plane - shared return paths degrade noise performance. |
| 5 | TRIM | Output voltage adjustment node; accepts external 10 kΩ potentiometer for ±3% fine-tuning of VOUT to compensate for system-level offsets. |
| 6 | VOUT | Stable 5.0 V reference output; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor directly at pin to suppress 1/f noise and ensure loop stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed band gap core | Delivers ±0.3% initial accuracy and ≤8.5 ppm/°C tempco without external calibration - reduces factory test time and BOM count. |
| Integrated TEMP pin | Provides factory-calibrated 1.96 mV/°C temperature sensing signal - eliminates need for discrete thermal sensors in compact instrumentation designs. |
| Trim-adjustable output | Supports ±3% output correction via external potentiometer - compensates for PCB trace resistance, solder thermal shift, and system gain errors. |
| High PSRR & line regulation | 100 ppm/V line regulation (7–36 V input) - maintains reference integrity despite rail fluctuations in noisy industrial power environments. |
| Low-noise architecture | 15 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz) output noise - preserves effective resolution in 20-bit+ SAR and delta-sigma ADC 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR02ARZ-REEL7 | Higher accuracy (±0.1%), lower tempco (3 ppm/°C), same SOIC-8 package and pinout - drop-in upgrade with improved long-term stability (20 ppm/1000 hrs). | Better suited for metrology-grade instruments and calibration standards where sub-0.05% total error is mandatory. | Select ADR02ARZ-REEL7 when upgrading legacy REF02 designs for enhanced accuracy without layout changes. |
| MAX6126AASA+ | Lower noise (7.5 µVp-p), tighter initial tolerance (±0.06%), but narrower supply range (4.5–12.6 V) and no TEMP pin - not pin-compatible. | Ideal for low-voltage, ultra-low-noise portable systems (e.g., handheld oscilloscopes) where temperature monitoring is handled separately. | Choose MAX6126AASA+ only when supply voltage is constrained below 7 V and TEMP functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with REF02CS-REEL7, ADR02ARZ-REEL7 offers superior accuracy and stability for next-generation instrumentation, while MAX6126AASA+ trades TEMP functionality and wide supply range for ultra-low noise in battery-powered applications - neither requires PCB redesign, but only ADR02ARZ-REEL7 is pin- and function-compatible.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of REF02CS-REEL7 over temperature?
The REF02CS-REEL7 is specified as an A-grade or E-grade device with ±0.3% (±15 mV) initial accuracy at 25°C. Over the full −40°C to +85°C operating range, its maximum temperature coefficient is 8.5 ppm/°C, resulting in ≤±0.43 mV additional drift - ensuring total output error remains within ±0.35% across industrial temperatures. This specification is verified per Analog Devices' REF02 datasheet Rev. M, Table on Page 4.
Can REF02CS-REEL7 drive a 10 kΩ load directly without buffer amplification?
Yes, REF02CS-REEL7 can drive a 10 kΩ load directly: at 5.0 V output and 0.5 mA load current, its load regulation is ≤100 ppm/mA (≤0.5 mV shift), well within typical system tolerances. However, for loads <10 kΩ or dynamic current demands >1 mA, an op amp buffer is recommended to maintain stability and minimize noise coupling - confirmed by Figure 14 (load regulation vs. temperature) and Section "Load Regulation" on Page 4 of the REF02 datasheet.
How is the TEMP pin of REF02CS-REEL7 used for temperature measurement?
The TEMP pin of REF02CS-REEL7 outputs a factory-calibrated PTAT voltage: 580 mV at 25°C with 1.96 mV/°C sensitivity. To measure die temperature, connect the TEMP pin to a high-impedance ADC input (≥100 kΩ), then compute T(°C) = 25 + (VTEMP − 0.580)/0.00196. No external components are needed - this method is validated in Figures 32 and Section "Temperature Monitoring" (Page 15) of the REF02 datasheet.
Does REF02CS-REEL7 require input or output capacitors for stable operation?
While REF02CS-REEL7 is internally compensated and functional without external capacitors, Analog Devices strongly recommends a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed directly at the VOUT pin to suppress low-frequency noise and improve transient response. An additional 1–10 µF bulk capacitor may be added in parallel for high-dynamic-load applications. Input capacitance (0.1 µF ceramic + 1–10 µF bulk) is advised for noisy supplies - all per Figure 34 and "Input and Output Capacitors" section (Page 14) of the datasheet.
Is REF02CS-REEL7 pin-compatible with newer ADR02-series references?
Yes, REF02CS-REEL7 is fully pin-compatible with ADR02ARZ-REEL7 and other ADR02 variants in SOIC-8 packages. Both share identical pin numbering (VIN, TEMP, GND, TRIM, VOUT, NC, NC, NC), identical footprint, and compatible electrical interface - enabling drop-in replacement with improved specs (±0.1% accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco). This compatibility is explicitly stated in the REF02 datasheet Rev. M, Page 1 ("Newer designs should use the ADR01/ADR02/ADR03/ADR06 series… maintaining full pin-for-pin compatibility").
