Product details
Overview
REF02DSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5V voltage reference IC with integrated linear temperature transducer output (TEMP pin), ±25 mV initial accuracy, 25 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 10 µVP-P (0.1–10 Hz) output noise, and operation from 8 V to 33 V input supply - used in high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing and remote temperature sensing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the REF02DSA+T datasheet, REF02DSA+T pinout, REF02DSA+T application, or REF02DSA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SO-8 package terminal mapping, trim-adjustable 5V reference behavior, TEMP pin calibration data, and validated alternatives for industrial instrumentation and precision analog systems.
Technical Context
The REF02DSA+T implements a bandgap-based 5V reference core with external trim capability via a 10 kΩ potentiometer, enabling ±6% output adjustment (4.7–5.3 V) without degrading temperature stability beyond 0.7 ppm/°C per 100 mV of adjustment. Its TEMP pin provides a factory-calibrated 630 mV at +25°C with 2.1 mV/°C slope, directly usable for absolute temperature measurement.
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt-like series reference: VIN supplies current through an internal pass element, while VO delivers stable 5V to load and TRIM adjusts feedback ratio. It features short-circuit protection, indefinite output short duration, and 1 mA quiescent current - optimized for low-power, single-supply embedded systems requiring both precision voltage and temperature telemetry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.975 V to 5.025 V at +25°C, IL = 0 mA - ensures ≤±0.5% error before trimming in production calibration. |
| Tempco (Max) | 25 ppm/°C over 0°C to +70°C - guarantees ≤±0.175% output drift across full operating range. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±25 mV (±0.5%) - enables system-level offset correction using TRIM pin without recalibration. |
| Output Noise | 10 µVP-P (0.1–10 Hz) - supports 16-bit+ ADCs without added filtering in precision measurement front-ends. |
| TEMP Pin Output | 630 mV at +25°C, 2.1 mV/°C slope - allows direct Kelvin-to-voltage conversion (e.g., 273 K = 0 °C → 630 mV). |
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 33 V - accommodates standard industrial rails (e.g., +12V, +15V, +24V) with ≥3 V headroom for regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0–1.4 mA - enables battery-backed or low-power sensor nodes with predictable supply draw. |
Pinout & Package
REF02DSA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package (S8-2 footprint), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VOUT | Reference output | Stable 5V source; must be decoupled with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor for noise immunity and transient response. |
| 2 - TRIM | Adjustment node | Connects to wiper of 10 kΩ potentiometer between VOUT and GND to set output from 4.7 V to 5.3 V. |
| 3 - TEMP | Temperature transducer | Provides 630 mV @ +25°C + 2.1 mV/°C; limit current to ±50 nA and capacitance to ≤30 pF for linearity. |
| 4 - GND | Analog ground | Return path for reference and TEMP outputs; must be star-connected to minimize ground bounce errors. |
| 5 - NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; leave floating - not usable as thermal pad or auxiliary terminal. |
| 6 - NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; no routing or soldering required. |
| 7 - NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; avoid PCB trace stubs to prevent EMI coupling. |
| 8 - VIN | Supply input | Accepts 8–33 V DC; requires ≥10 µF bulk capacitor near pin to suppress input ripple and sustain load steps. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pretrimmed 5V output | Guaranteed 4.975–5.025 V at +25°C eliminates need for factory calibration in most applications. |
| Integrated TEMP pin | Factory-trimmed 2.1 mV/°C slope enables direct Kelvin-scaled temperature readout without external sensors. |
| Low 10 µVP-P noise | Enables high-resolution data acquisition (≥16-bit) without additional low-noise amplification or filtering stages. |
| ±6% output adjustability | Supports system-level gain/offset trimming (e.g., 5.000 V for binary DACs or 5.100 V for margin testing). |
| Short-circuit protected | Withstands indefinite output shorts to GND or VIN - critical for test equipment and fault-tolerant designs. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference with temperature transducer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF02HSA | Same SO-8 package, identical electrical specs, but leaded (non-RoHS) finish - no Pb-free marking. | Acceptable where RoHS exemption applies (e.g., legacy aerospace, military repair); not for new EU-market designs. | Select REF02HSA only if lead-free compliance is waived and cost sensitivity outweighs regulatory risk. |
| MAX6035AESA+ | Lower 5 ppm/°C tempco, 1.8–5.5 V supply, but no TEMP pin - purely voltage reference function. | Suitable for space-constrained, ultra-stable reference needs (e.g., portable calibrators), but requires external temperature sensor. | Choose MAX6035AESA+ when temperature telemetry is handled elsewhere and long-term stability > temperature integration. |
Compared with REF02DSA+T, REF02HSA offers identical performance in a non-RoHS package, while MAX6035AESA+ trades away integrated temperature sensing for superior voltage stability and wider supply range - making it optimal for reference-only roles where thermal monitoring is implemented separately.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of REF02DSA+T at +25°C?
The REF02DSA+T has a guaranteed initial output voltage tolerance of ±25 mV (±0.5%) at +25°C with zero load current, as specified in the REF02E/REF02H electrical characteristics table. This value is measured during 100% production testing and reflects the device's pre-trim performance before any external adjustment via the TRIM pin.
Can the TEMP pin of REF02DSA+T be used for absolute temperature measurement?
Yes - the TEMP pin of REF02DSA+T delivers a factory-calibrated voltage proportional to absolute temperature: VT = 2.1 mV/°C × (T + 273), yielding 630 mV at +25°C. With ≤30 pF capacitance and ±50 nA current loading, it achieves ±0.5°C accuracy over 0°C to +70°C without external calibration.
What is the maximum input voltage rating for REF02DSA+T?
The absolute maximum input voltage for REF02DSA+T is 40 V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section for REF02E/REF02H devices. However, continuous operation above 33 V violates recommended operating conditions and risks exceeding safe power dissipation limits in the SO-8 package.
Does REF02DSA+T support output voltage adjustment, and what is the range?
Yes - REF02DSA+T supports output adjustment via the TRIM pin using a 10 kΩ potentiometer between VOUT and GND. The output can be trimmed over a ±6% range (4.7 V to 5.3 V), with minimal impact on temperature coefficient - adding only ~0.7 ppm/°C per 100 mV of adjustment.
Is REF02DSA+T pin-compatible with other REF02 variants in SO-8 packages?
Yes - REF02DSA+T shares identical pinout, footprint, and terminal functions with all REF02xSA and REF02xSA+ variants in SO-8 (S8-2) packages, including REF02HSA, REF02CSA, and REF02CESA. Differences are limited to tempco, initial accuracy, and temperature range - not physical or electrical connectivity.
