General Description
The MAX873/MAX875/MAX876 precision 2.5V, 5V, and
10V references offer excellent accuracy and very low
power consumption. Extremely low temperature drift
combined with excellent line and load regulation permit
stable operation over a wide range of electrical and environmental conditions. Operation for the MAX873 is guaranteed with a +4.5V supply, making the part ideal in
systems running from a +5V ±10% supply. Low 10Hz to
1kHz noise—typically 3.8µV
RMS
, 9µV
RMS
, and 18µV
RMS
,
respectively, for the MAX873, MAX875, MAX876—make
the parts suitable for 12-bit data-acquisition systems.
A TRIM pin facilitates adjustment of the reference voltage
over a ±6% range, using only a 100kΩ potentiometer. A
voltage output proportional to temperature provides a
source for temperature compensation circuits, temperature warning circuits, and other applications.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
