MAX5130AEEE

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5130AEEE is a 13-bit, voltage-output digital-to-analog converter with an internal precision bandgap reference. It operates on a single +5V supply, delivering a full-scale output of +4.0955V. The device draws 500µA during normal operation and reduces to 3µA in power-down mode. It features a 3-wire serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE standards. The integral nonlinearity is specified at ±0.5 LSB, with a settling time of 20µs.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrated precision bandgap reference with low temperature coefficient
• Double-buffered input registers for flexible data updating
• User-selectable power-up reset states (0V or midscale)
• Buffered output capable of driving standard industrial loads

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial process control systems
• Automatic test equipment
• Digital offset and gain adjustment circuits
• Microprocessor-controlled instrumentation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix AEEE against current manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout and accuracy grade. Check for obsolescence notices as Maxim Integrated products may have limited availability. Ensure the ordering code matches the required +5V supply variant rather than the +3V MAX5131 version.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 13-bit resolution is required with a buffered voltage output. It serves as a pin-compatible upgrade to 12-bit versions like the MAX5120. Consider the MAX5170 series if 14-bit resolution is needed while maintaining the same package footprint.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5130/MAX5131 family of low-power serial DACs. It shares the 16-pin QSOP package with other variants in the series. The device is designed for applications requiring precise analog signal generation from digital inputs with minimal external component count.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5120AEEE+ offers a pin-compatible 12-bit alternative. For higher resolution requirements within the same package, the MAX5170AEEE+ provides a 14-bit upgrade path. Verify that the replacement meets the specific INL and supply voltage requirements of the original design.

Digital To Analog Converters FAQ

How is the internal reference disabled?

Pull the REFADJ pin to VDD to disable the internal reference and allow an external reference to be applied to the REF pin.

What is the function of the PDL pin?

The Power-Down Lockout (PDL) pin disables shutdown functionality when held low, preventing the device from entering power-down mode.

Can multiple devices be daisy-chained?

Yes, the DOUT pin allows serial data to be clocked out, enabling daisy-chaining of multiple MAX5130/MAX5131 devices.
