Product details
Overview
REF02HSZ 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 and industrial process control signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the REF02HSZ datasheet, REF02HSZ pinout, REF02HSZ application, or REF02HSZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases in precision instrumentation, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and parametric differences.
Technical Context
The REF02HSZ implements a laser-trimmed bandgap core with PTAT current generation and buffered output stage, delivering stable 5.0 V across −55°C to +125°C (A-grade). Its TEMP pin provides unbuffered 580 mV baseline with 1.96 mV/°C linear sensitivity for on-chip temperature monitoring.
It features internal trim capability via external 10 kΩ potentiometer (±3.0% adjustment range), supports up to 10 mA load current, operates from 7.0 V to 36 V input, and maintains 5 µs turn-on settling time to ±0.1% of final value.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000 V nominal, ±15 mV (±0.3%) initial tolerance - ensures direct compatibility with 16-bit+ SAR ADC reference inputs without calibration. |
| Tempco | 8.5 ppm/°C max over −55°C to +125°C - enables <±0.5 LSB drift in 18-bit systems across full military temperature range. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 15 µVp-p typical - contributes <0.002% RMS error in precision weigh-scale front-ends. |
| Supply Range | 7.0 V to 36 V - allows single-supply operation in 12 V/24 V industrial PLC I/O modules. |
| Load Drive | 10 mA sourcing capability - directly drives 5 V reference inputs of multiple op-amps or ADCs without buffer. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.4 mA max - enables low-power battery-backed data loggers with >1-year runtime on CR2032. |
| Dropout Voltage | 2 V - permits operation from 7 V input while maintaining regulation under worst-case load and temp. |
Pinout & Package
REF02HSZ is supplied in an 8-lead CERDIP (Z-suffix) hermetic ceramic package with 0.3-inch wide body and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pins 1, 7, and 8 are no-connect (NC) and must remain unconnected per datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7, 8 | NC | No internal connection; floating or grounded per layout best practice - reserved for factory test only. |
| 2 | VIN | Unregulated input supply (7–36 V); requires ≥1 µF bulk + 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor at pin for transient immunity. |
| 3 | TEMP | Unbuffered bandgap voltage (580 mV @ 25°C, 1.96 mV/°C slope) - used for die temperature sensing without external components. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be star-connected to minimize ground bounce in mixed-signal systems. |
| 5 | TRIM | Adjustment node for ±3% output tuning via external 10 kΩ potentiometer - enables system-level calibration of gain/offset errors. |
| 6 | VOUT | Stable 5.0 V reference output; requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor directly at pin to suppress 1/f noise and ensure stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed bandgap architecture | Delivers ±0.3% initial accuracy and 8.5 ppm/°C tempco without external calibration - reduces BOM count in medical sensor modules. |
| Integrated temperature sensor output | 580 mV baseline with 1.96 mV/°C linearity at TEMP pin - enables self-temperature-compensated reference design without added ICs. |
| Trim-adjustable output | ±3.0% fine-tuning range via external potentiometer - corrects PCB trace resistance, solder thermal shift, and system gain errors. |
| High PSRR & low noise | 100 ppm/V line regulation and 15 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz) noise - maintains accuracy in noisy 24 V DC industrial power rails. |
| Wide supply and load range | Operates from 7 V to 36 V input and sources up to 10 mA - supports direct replacement of LM399/LT1021 in legacy test equipment. |

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 | Higher initial accuracy (±0.1%), lower tempco (3 ppm/°C), but 12 V max input voltage and SOIC-8 only. | Preferred for new designs requiring tighter specs; unsuitable for 24 V industrial supplies where REF02HSZ's 36 V rating is essential. | Select ADR02ARZ when upgrading from REF02HSZ in space-constrained, low-drift lab equipment - verify input voltage compatibility. |
| LM399H | Zero-drift buried-zener architecture (0.3 ppm/°C), oven-controlled, 10 V output only, higher power (600 mW), TO-99 package. | Used in metrology-grade standards and atomic clock references; not drop-in due to different voltage, footprint, and thermal management needs. | Choose LM399H only when sub-ppm stability is mandatory and board area/power budget allow oven control - REF02HSZ remains optimal for general-purpose 5 V precision. |
Compared with ADR02ARZ and LM399H, REF02HSZ uniquely balances 5 V output, 36 V input tolerance, hermetic CERDIP reliability, and cost-effective performance for industrial and aerospace transmitters - making it the preferred choice where ruggedness and voltage flexibility outweigh ultra-low drift requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for REF02HSZ?
The REF02HSZ is rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C (A-grade specification), as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and REF02 Specifications section of Rev. M datasheet. This range applies specifically to the Z-suffix CERDIP package and is validated across all electrical parameters including tempco and load regulation.
Does REF02HSZ require external capacitors for stable operation?
Yes - the REF02HSZ datasheet recommends a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor directly at the VOUT pin for noise suppression and stability, and a 0.1 µF ceramic + 1–10 µF bulk capacitor at VIN for transient immunity. Omitting the output capacitor may cause oscillation or increased low-frequency noise in precision measurement circuits.
Can the TEMP pin of REF02HSZ be used for accurate temperature measurement?
Yes - the TEMP pin provides a linear 1.96 mV/°C output with 580 mV baseline at 25°C, directly from the bandgap core. It is specified for use in temperature monitoring applications per the Temperature Monitoring section, and its accuracy is maintained across the full operating temperature range of the REF02HSZ.
What is the purpose of the TRIM pin on REF02HSZ?
The TRIM pin enables ±3.0% output voltage adjustment using an external 10 kΩ potentiometer, as detailed in Figure 35 and Table 7 of the datasheet. This allows system-level correction of errors from PCB layout, solder reflow, or sensor gain mismatch - without requiring recalibration of downstream circuitry.
Is REF02HSZ pin-compatible with newer Analog Devices references like ADR02?
No - while the ADR02 series offers pin-for-pin compatibility with the REF02 family *in SOIC-8*, the REF02HSZ uses an 8-lead CERDIP (Z-suffix) package with different pinout and thermal characteristics. The ADR02ARZ is SOIC-only and lacks the hermetic sealing and extended temperature capability of REF02HSZ.
