Product details
Overview
REF02CSZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a precision 5.0 V voltage reference IC with ±0.3% initial accuracy, 8.5 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 15 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz) low-frequency noise, designed for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing, industrial sensor signal conditioning, and calibration-critical instrumentation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the REF02CSZ-REEL datasheet, REF02CSZ-REEL pinout, REF02CSZ-REEL application, or REF02CSZ-REEL equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-8 package layout, trim and temperature-sensing functionality, and validated alternatives for precision analog system design.
Technical Context
The REF02CSZ-REEL implements a laser-trimmed bandgap core with internal op-amp feedback to stabilize its 5.0 V output across supply (7.0–36 V), temperature (−40°C to +85°C), and load (0–10 mA) variations. Its TEMP pin provides an unbuffered, linear 580 mV baseline with 1.96 mV/°C sensitivity for on-chip die temperature monitoring.
It features a dedicated TRIM terminal enabling ±3.0% output adjustment via external potentiometer, while maintaining specified TCVO and long-term stability (50 ppm after 1000 hours). The device operates without external capacitors but benefits from 0.1 µF ceramic output capacitance for noise suppression and transient response.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000 V nominal, ±0.3% initial accuracy (A/E grade) - ensures direct compatibility with 5 V logic and SAR ADC reference inputs. |
| Temp Coefficient | 8.5 ppm/°C max (−55°C to +125°C) - enables sub-0.01% full-scale drift over industrial temperature range. |
| Voltage Noise | 15 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz) - supports 18+ bit converter resolution without added noise floor degradation. |
| Supply Range | 7.0 V to 36 V - allows operation from unregulated rails or wide-input industrial supplies without external regulators. |
| Load Drive | 10 mA sourcing capability - directly powers multiple op-amps, ADC references, or sensor excitation circuits. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.4 mA max - balances low power consumption with fast turn-on settling (5 µs to ±0.1%). |
| Dropout Voltage | 2 V - permits stable 5 V output even with input as low as 7 V, easing supply margining. |
Pinout & Package
REF02CSZ-REEL is housed in an 8-lead SOIC (S-suffix) package with exposed pad thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is NC (no internal connection); pins 7 and 8 are also NC. GND (Pin 4) serves as the primary reference ground return.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7, 8 | NC | No internal connection; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 2 | VIN | Unregulated input supply rail (7–36 V); requires local 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor. |
| 3 | TEMP | Bandgap-derived temperature sensor output (580 mV @ 25°C, 1.96 mV/°C slope) - used for die temperature estimation. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 5 | TRIM | Output voltage fine-adjustment node; accepts external 10 kΩ potentiometer for ±3% trimming. |
| 6 | VOUT | Stable 5.0 V reference output; requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to ground for optimal noise performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High Output Accuracy | ±0.3% initial error (A/E grade) - eliminates need for system-level calibration in mid-precision applications. |
| Low Temperature Drift | 8.5 ppm/°C max over −55°C to +125°C - maintains <±0.001 V drift across extended industrial range. |
| Integrated Temp Sensing | Direct TEMP pin output (580 mV, 1.96 mV/°C) - enables real-time die temperature tracking without external sensors. |
| Adjustable Output | ±3.0% trim range via external potentiometer - compensates for PCB trace resistance, solder shift, or system gain errors. |
| Wide Supply Tolerance | Operates from 7.0 V to 36 V - accommodates battery, rectified AC, or unregulated DC supplies without pre-regulation. |
Applications
| Industrial Process Control | Precision Data Acquisition |

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-REEL | Higher accuracy (±0.1%), lower TCVO (3 ppm/°C), same SOIC-8 pinout and 5 V output. | Better suited for metrology-grade systems where long-term drift and temp stability dominate cost trade-offs. | Drop-in replacement with improved specs; verify layout thermal relief for ADR02's higher PSRR. |
| MAX6126AASA50+ | 5.0 V output, ±0.06% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C TCVO, but only 5 mA load drive and different pinout (SOIC-8, non-compatible). | Ideal for ultra-low-drift, low-power portable instruments where 10 mA sourcing is not required. | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign; preferred when sub-10 ppm total error budget is mandatory. |
Compared with REF02CSZ-REEL, ADR02ARZ-REEL offers superior accuracy and stability at modest cost increase, while MAX6126AASA50+ delivers tighter initial tolerance but sacrifices load drive and pin compatibility-making REF02CSZ-REEL optimal for cost-sensitive industrial designs needing robust 10 mA sourcing and proven field reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for REF02CSZ-REEL?
The REF02CSZ-REEL is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C (C-grade specification). This range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies specifically to the Z-suffix SOIC package variant. Operation beyond this range may degrade accuracy or reliability and is not guaranteed by Analog Devices.
Does REF02CSZ-REEL require external capacitors to function?
No, REF02CSZ-REEL is internally compensated and operates stably without external capacitors. However, a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed directly at the VOUT pin to GND is highly recommended to reduce low-frequency noise and improve transient response-especially under dynamic load conditions.
Can the TEMP pin of REF02CSZ-REEL be used for accurate temperature measurement?
Yes-the TEMP pin provides a linear 580 mV baseline at 25°C with a calibrated 1.96 mV/°C slope. While not a standalone temperature sensor, it enables relative die temperature tracking with ±1°C resolution when referenced to a known calibration point, supporting thermal compensation algorithms in precision systems using REF02CSZ-REEL.
What is the purpose of the TRIM pin on REF02CSZ-REEL?
The TRIM pin on REF02CSZ-REEL allows fine adjustment of the output voltage within ±3.0% of nominal (4.85–5.15 V) using an external 10 kΩ potentiometer. This feature compensates for system-level errors such as PCB trace resistance, solder-induced offset, or gain drift in downstream circuitry without requiring a new BOM.
Is REF02CSZ-REEL pin-compatible with newer ADI references like ADR02?
Yes-REF02CSZ-REEL and ADR02ARZ-REEL share identical SOIC-8 pinout, pin functions, and footprint. Analog Devices explicitly states "full pin-for-pin compatibility" in the REF01/REF02/REF03 datasheet Rev. M, making ADR02ARZ-REEL a direct upgrade path for enhanced accuracy and stability without layout changes.
