REF01AZ/883C

The REF01AZ/883C is a precision 10 V monolithic voltage reference manufactured by Analog Devices and screened to MIL-STD-883 Class C requirements. Engineered around a buried Zener reference core, it delivers a pre-trimmed 10.000 V output with low temperature coefficient, excellent long-term stability, and low output noise. The device is housed in a hermetic ceramic dual-in-line package (CDIP), ensuring robust protection against moisture and mechanical stress for operation in demanding environments. Its architecture provides good line and load regulation along with a low quiescent current, making it suitable as a stable reference for high-resolution data acquisition and signal conditioning circuits.

The reference operates over the full military temperature range of –55°C to +125°C, maintaining precision across extreme conditions. The /883C suffix designates full military temperature range compliance with established reliability test flows, addressing extended-life requirements in aerospace and defense platforms. Typical applications include precision analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, flight-critical avionics, military guidance systems, industrial process control instrumentation, and automated test equipment. Procurement of this component often involves careful supply chain planning, as military-grade references may be subject to long lead times, minimum order quantities, and eventual obsolescence; system designers frequently evaluate lifetime buy strategies and form-fit-function alternatives to ensure long-term program sustainment.
