MAX5150BEEE

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5150BEEE is a low-power, dual 13-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) featuring an internal gain of +2. It operates from a single +5V supply with a typical quiescent current of 500µA and 2µA in shutdown mode. The device provides rail-to-rail output swing and settles to within 1/2LSB in 16µs. It accepts a serial interface compatible with SPI/QSPI and Microwire standards.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Dual 13-bit DACs with internal +2 gain for maximized dynamic range
• Rail-to-rail output swing capability
• Software-programmable shutdown mode reducing current to 2µA
• Separate reference inputs accepting AC and DC signals

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial Process Control
• Remote Industrial Controls
• Digital Offset and Gain Adjustment
• Motion Control Systems
• Automatic Test Equipment (ATE)

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EEE' corresponds to the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and QSOP-16 package as defined in the official ordering information. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific manufacturing lot. Ensure the source document explicitly lists the MAX5150BEEE variant to validate pinout and electrical characteristics against the datasheet.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select the MAX5150BEEE for applications requiring dual channels with a single +5V supply. Choose this part over the MAX5151 when a higher supply voltage is available, as the MAX5151 is optimized for +3V operation. Consider the 16-pin QSOP package for space-constrained designs. Verify that the required settling time of 16µs meets system timing constraints.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX5150BEEE belongs to the MAX5150/MAX5151 family of low-power, serial, voltage-output DACs manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This series is designed for applications requiring precise analog control with minimal power consumption. The B-grade designation typically indicates tighter performance specifications compared to A-grade variants.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitutes include other dual 13-bit DACs from the same manufacturer family, such as the MAX5150ACEE or MAX5150BCPE, provided they match the required temperature range and package type. Cross-referencing with the MAX5151 is possible if the supply voltage can be adjusted to +3V.

Digital To Analog Converters FAQ

How does the internal gain affect the output voltage range?

The internal gain of +2 allows the DAC to maximize its dynamic range. For example, with a 2.048V reference, the MAX5150 can produce a 0V to 4.096V output.

Can the reference input accept AC signals?

Yes, the reference inputs accept both AC and DC signals within the specified voltage range of 0V to (VDD - 1.4V), enabling multiplying-mode performance.

What is the function of the PDL pin?

The Power-Down Lockout (PDL) pin disables software shutdown when held low. Transitioning PDL from high to low can asynchronously wake up the device.
