MAX5132BEEE

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5132BEEE+ is a low-power, 13-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter featuring an internal precision bandgap reference and output amplifier. It operates from a single +5V supply with a +2.5V internal reference. The device draws 500µA of supply current, reducing to 3µA in power-down mode. It offers a configurable output amplifier, pin-programmable shutdown, and user-selectable power-up reset states (0V or mid-scale). The serial interface supports SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrated precision bandgap reference with 10ppm/°C temperature coefficient
• Configurable output amplifier for force/sense applications and gain setting
• Pin-programmable shutdown mode and selectable power-up reset state
• Double-buffered digital input with independent or simultaneous register updates

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial Process Control
• Automatic Test Equipment (ATE)
• Digital Offset and Gain Adjustment
• Motion Control Systems
• Microprocessor-Controlled Systems

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BEEE+ against the manufacturer's current product status, as availability may vary. Confirm that the QSOP-16 package matches the target PCB footprint. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C meets system requirements. Check RoHS compliance documentation for environmental regulations.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select the MAX5132BEEE+ for single-supply +5V applications requiring 13-bit resolution. Choose this part over the MAX5133 when a +2.5V internal reference is preferred. Consider the MAX5171/MAX5173 for pin-compatible 14-bit upgrades or the MAX5122/MAX5123 for 12-bit versions. Verify serial interface compatibility with the host microcontroller.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX5132BEEE+ belongs to the MAX5132/MAX5133 family of low-power, serial DACs manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. These devices are designed for space-saving 16-pin QSOP packages and are specified for extended industrial temperature ranges. They serve as high-precision solutions for systems requiring reliable analog output generation from digital signals.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5132AEEE is a pin-compatible alternative within the same series. For higher resolution needs, the MAX5171/MAX5173 offer pin-compatible 14-bit upgrades. For lower resolution requirements, the MAX5122/MAX5123 provide pin-compatible 12-bit versions. Verify electrical characteristics and package dimensions before substitution.

Digital To Analog Converters FAQ

How is the internal reference disabled for external reference operation?

Pull the REFADJ pin to VDD to disable the internal reference. Apply the external reference signal to the REF pin.

What is the maximum serial clock frequency for the MAX5132?

The maximum guaranteed serial-clock frequency is 10MHz for the MAX5132.

How does the device handle power-up output states?

The power-up reset feature allows user selection of either 0V or mid-scale output voltage via the RSTVAL pin, reducing output glitches during power-up.
