MAX515ESA+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX515ESA+T is a low-power, voltage-output, 10-bit digital-to-analog converter specified for single +5V power-supply operation. It draws only 140µA of supply current and features a fixed internal buffer gain of 2. The device utilizes an inverted R-2R ladder network with a BiCMOS op amp to convert serial data into analog voltage levels. It includes a power-on reset circuit and a serial data output for daisy-chaining multiple units.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Low-power operation with 140µA supply current
• Fixed gain of 2 buffered voltage output
• Guaranteed monotonic performance over temperature
• Serial data output for daisy-chaining capability

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Battery-powered test instruments
• Digital offset and gain adjustment circuits
• Battery-operated or remote industrial controls
• Machine and motion control devices
• Cellular telephones

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ESA' corresponds to the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range and SOIC-8 package as defined in the official ordering information. Confirm that the '+T' designation indicates tape-and-reel packaging. Ensure compatibility with the manufacturer's RoHS compliance standards before integration.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select the MAX515ESA+T when a fixed gain of 2 is required without external feedback components. Choose this part over the MAX504 if an internal reference is not needed, as it offers lower power consumption. Ensure the application supports single +5V supply operation and requires 10-bit resolution with serial interface compatibility.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX515ESA+T belongs to the MAX504/MAX515 family of 5V, low-power, voltage-output, serial 10-bit DACs manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. This series is designed for applications requiring precise analog output from digital inputs with minimal power usage. The ESA variant specifically denotes the extended temperature range and surface-mount packaging option within the product line.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

For hardware and software compatible upgrades to 12-bit resolution, refer to the MAX531, MAX538, or MAX539 data sheets. These parts maintain pin and code compatibility while offering increased resolution. No other direct public substitutes are confirmed in the provided documentation.
