5V reference with ±0.02% initial accuracy
The MAX6350CSA+: This places it in the high-accuracy tier for 5V references, suitable for driving the reference input of a 16-bit or 18-bit SAR ADC where the reference error must stay well below 1 LSB.
Noise floor and output drive
The reference can source up to 15 mA of output current, enough to bias multiple ADC reference inputs or a small resistive divider network without an external buffer. Input voltage range spans 8V to 36V, so it can be powered from a common 12V or 24V rail with headroom to spare. Supply current draw is 3.3 mA typical — not a low-power part, but the buried-zener topology inherently offers better long-term stability and lower noise than a micropower bandgap reference at the same accuracy grade.
Package, compliance, and sourcing posture
Housed in an 8-SOIC package (0.154-inch width, 3.90 mm body) with surface-mount termination, the MAX6350CSA+ is supplied in tube packaging. Analog Devices lists this part as active in production with ROHS3 compliance.
