Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number including the suffix against official Texas Instruments documentation before procurement. Ensure the ordering code matches the required package type and temperature grade. Cross-reference with the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm availability and specifications. Do not rely on generic descriptions; confirm specific electrical characteristics required for your design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed precision voltage reference is needed for calibration or reference purposes. Consider the operating temperature range and package constraints of your PCB layout. Verify that the load current requirements are within the device's capabilities. Compare against other series if tighter tolerances or different output voltages are required.

Part Context

The REF02 series consists of precision voltage references known for low drift and high stability. The REF02AUG4 specifically denotes the A-grade version in an 8-pin SOIC package. This series is commonly used in industrial and scientific instruments where long-term stability is critical. It serves as a foundational component for maintaining accuracy in measurement chains.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes from Texas Instruments such as other REF02 variants with different grades or packages. Verify that any replacement meets or exceeds the original voltage tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications. Consult the manufacturer's substitution guide for approved alternatives.
