MAX874EPA

Overview

The MAX874EPA is a precision voltage reference from the Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated portfolio, housed in an 8-pin PDIP package. It delivers a stable output voltage of 5V with an initial accuracy of 0.02%. The device features a low temperature coefficient of 1.5 PPM/C and supports a maximum input voltage of 40V. It operates within a junction current range up to 15mA and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-precision voltage regulation suitable for sensitive analog circuits
• Ensures long-term stability through low temperature coefficient characteristics
• Supports wide input voltage ranges for flexible power supply integration

Applications

• Precision data acquisition systems requiring stable reference sources
• High-resolution analog-to-digital converter (ADC) front-ends
• Calibration equipment needing accurate voltage benchmarks

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation. Check for end-of-life notifications or discontinuance alerts before finalizing procurement plans. Ensure packaging specifications match design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when fixed 5V precision is required without external trimming. Consider thermal management if operating near maximum current limits. Verify that the PDIP package fits the target PCB layout constraints compared to surface-mount alternatives.
