MAX508AEWP+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX508AEWP+T is a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features an internal reference and a parallel interface, housed in a 20-pin SOIC package. The device operates on dual power supplies ranging from -15.75 V to 0 V and 11.4 V to 15.75 V. It exhibits a settling time of 5 µs and maintains differential and integral nonlinearity within +/- 1 LSB. The component functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes an R-2R resistor ladder structure for voltage output.

• Programmable gain amplifier stages

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging status, as standard listings often indicate tube packaging for this part number. Confirm end-of-life or obsolescence status directly with the manufacturer, as availability may be restricted. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C commercial temperature range.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, high-accuracy 12-bit DAC with an integrated reference is required. The parallel interface necessitates sufficient microcontroller or FPGA GPIO lines. Verify that the system power supply can provide the required dual rails up to +/- 15.75 V. Consider the SOIC-20 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints compared to through-hole alternatives like the MAX508BMJP.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX508A series of precision DACs. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the MAX508ACPP+ but differs in package type (SOIC vs. DIP) and temperature grade. The MAX508 family is designed for applications requiring stable, accurate analog signal generation from digital inputs without external reference components.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements are not explicitly listed in public distributor databases for this specific suffix. Evaluate the MAX508BMJP for through-hole requirements, noting its extended industrial temperature range (-55°C to +125°C). Cross-reference with newer Maxim Integrated DAC families if lead times are critical.
