Product details
Overview
REF02DSA+ 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 reference and on-chip temperature sensing. It delivers ±15mV initial accuracy, 8.5ppm/°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, thermal monitoring circuits, and industrial sensor signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the REF02DSA+ datasheet, REF02DSA+ pinout, REF02DSA+ application, or REF02DSA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-function 5V reference + temperature voltage output (630mV at 25°C, 2.1mV/°C), SO-8 package compatibility, trim-adjustable ±6% output range, and guaranteed performance across commercial temperature range without derating.
Technical Context
The REF02DSA+ 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 internal trim architecture allows ±6% output adjustment via external resistor without degrading temperature stability beyond 0.7ppm/°C per 100mV of adjustment.
It features short-circuit protection, 1mA quiescent current, 230µs turn-on settling time to ±0.1%, and load capability up to 21mA. The SO-8 package supports surface-mount assembly and thermal dissipation up to 300mW (derated above +55°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.985V to 5.015V at 25°C (±15mV initial error; enables direct replacement of 5V references in metrology-grade designs) |
| Tempco (max) | 8.5ppm/°C over 0°C to +70°C (ensures ≤±0.06% output drift across full operating range) |
| TEMP Pin Output | 630mV at +25°C, 2.1mV/°C slope (provides calibrated absolute temperature sensing without external components) |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 10µVP-P (supports high-resolution 20-bit+ data acquisition without added filtering) |
| Input Voltage Range | 7V to 33V (enables single-supply operation in 12V/24V industrial rails with 2V headroom margin) |
| Load Current | Up to 21mA (drives multiple op-amps or ADC reference inputs directly) |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0–1.4mA (minimizes power impact in battery-backed or low-power systems) |
Pinout & Package
REF02DSA+ is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO) package (S8-2 footprint), compatible with JEDEC MS-012AC, with 1.27mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOUT) | Reference output | Stable 5V precision voltage source; requires 10µF ceramic bypass for optimal noise performance |
| 2 (TRIM) | Output adjustment terminal | Connects to external 10kΩ potentiometer for ±6% output tuning; minimal tempco impact |
| 3 (TEMP) | Temperature transducer output | Linear 2.1mV/°C voltage proportional to absolute temperature; limit current to ±50nA, capacitance to 30pF |
| 4 (GND) | Analog ground | Primary return path for reference and TEMP circuits; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling |
| 5 (N.C.) | No connection | Internally unconnected; leave floating or tie to GND per layout best practice |
| 6 (N.C.) | No connection | Internally unconnected; leave floating or tie to GND per layout best practice |
| 7 (VIN) | Positive supply input | Accepts 7V–33V DC; internal regulation rejects ripple up to 100dB at 1kHz |
| 8 (N.C.) | No connection | Internally unconnected; leave floating or tie to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pretrimmed 5V output | Guaranteed 4.985V–5.015V at 25°C eliminates need for factory calibration in production test |
| Integrated temperature transducer | Direct 630mV @ 25°C, 2.1mV/°C output enables single-component thermal feedback in power supplies or environmental monitors |
| Low 0.1–10Hz noise | 10µVP-P ensures <1 LSB error in 20-bit SAR ADCs with 5V full-scale range |
| Adjustable output range | ±6% trimming (4.7V–5.3V) accommodates system-level gain/offset correction without redesigning reference network |
| Short-circuit protected | Indefinite short-to-ground or VIN tolerance prevents latch-up or damage during board bring-up or fault conditions |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6035AESA+ | 2.5V fixed output, 3ppm/°C max tempco, no TEMP pin, SO-8 | Lacks temperature sensing; optimized for ultra-low-drift, not dual-function use | Select when only ultra-stable 2.5V reference is needed and temperature monitoring is handled separately |
| LM4040C50IDBZR | 5V shunt reference, 20ppm/°C max tempco, 100µA typical IREF, SOT-23-3 | Requires external bias resistor; no TEMP output; lower accuracy and higher tempco | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where ±0.5% accuracy suffices and temperature sensing is unnecessary |
Compared with REF02DSA+, MAX6035AESA+ offers superior 3ppm/°C stability but lacks temperature transduction, while LM4040C50IDBZR provides compact size and low cost at the expense of accuracy, noise, and missing dual functionality-making REF02DSA+ uniquely suited for integrated reference + thermal sensing in industrial analog systems.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of REF02DSA+ at 25°C?
The REF02DSA+ has a guaranteed initial output voltage tolerance of ±15mV at +25°C, corresponding to 4.985V to 5.015V. This specification is 100% production tested and applies to all units shipped in the REF02DSA+ variant, ensuring consistent performance without post-manufacturing calibration for most precision applications.
How does the TEMP pin on REF02DSA+ function, and what is its output equation?
The TEMP pin on REF02DSA+ outputs a voltage linearly proportional to absolute temperature: VT = 2.1 × (T + 273) mV, where T is in °C. At +25°C, this yields 630mV ±10mV. The pin must be loaded with ≤50nA and ≤30pF to maintain accuracy, enabling direct connection to an ADC for calibrated temperature measurement without external components.
Can REF02DSA+ be used with input voltages below 7V?
No. REF02DSA+ requires a minimum input voltage of 7V for proper regulation and specified performance. Operation below 7V may result in unregulated output, increased noise, or failure to maintain 5V output within tolerance. The recommended operating range remains strictly 7V to 33V, as validated across temperature and load conditions in the official datasheet.
What is the maximum load current REF02DSA+ can drive while maintaining output accuracy?
REF02DSA+ guarantees full output accuracy (±15mV initial error plus tempco drift) up to 21mA load current. Beyond this, output voltage deviation increases nonlinearly due to internal pass element limitations. For designs requiring >21mA, an external buffer amplifier is recommended to preserve reference integrity while delivering higher current.
Is REF02DSA+ pin-compatible with other REF02 variants in SO-8 packages?
Yes. REF02DSA+ shares identical pinout, footprint, and electrical behavior with all REF02xSA and REF02xSA+ variants in SO-8 (S8-2) packages-including REF02HSA+, REF02CSA+, and REF02CESA+. Differences lie only in temperature range, tempco, and initial error specifications; no PCB layout changes are required when upgrading or substituting within the SA+ family.
