MAX502BEWG+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX502BEWG+T is a discontinued 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features an R-2R architecture with a parallel data interface and buffered voltage outputs. The device operates on dual analog supply voltages ranging from ±11.4V to ±15.75V and utilizes external reference inputs. Packaged in a 24-SOIC format, it exhibits a typical settling time of 5µs with integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) specifications of ±0.75 LSB and ±1 LSB maximum, respectively. It is designed for industrial applications within a 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete or end-of-life. Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or surplus market sources. Ensure the specific suffix +T indicates tape-and-reel packaging if required for automated assembly. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this part when a 12-bit DAC with parallel interface and wide dual-supply operation is required. Verify that the external reference requirement aligns with system design constraints. Compare against successors like the MAX501 if newer alternatives are acceptable. Ensure the 24-SOIC package fits the PCB layout requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX502 belongs to the MAX501/MAX502 family of precision 12-bit DACs. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX501 but may differ in specific electrical characteristics or pin configurations. Both devices target similar industrial applications requiring accurate analog signal generation from digital inputs.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements within the MAX501 series. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence. Consider newer generations of DACs from Analog Devices if obsolescence management is critical.
