MAX5170AEEE

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5170AEEE+ is a low-power, serial, voltage-output, 14-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) featuring a precision output amplifier in a 16-pin QSOP package. It operates from a single +5V supply with a typical supply current of 280µA, reducing to 1µA in shutdown. The device provides a glitch-free output at power-up and supports SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE interfaces. Key electrical parameters include ±1 LSB INL, 18µs settling time, and a rail-to-rail output capable of driving 5kΩ || 100pF loads.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Glitch-free output voltage at power-up

• Rail-to-rail output amplifier
• Programmable shutdown mode and power-up reset

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

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

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AEEE+' against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm pinout, temperature range, and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and interface standards before integration. Check for any end-of-life notices or recommended new replacements on the official Analog Devices website.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select the MAX5170AEEE+ for applications requiring high resolution and low power consumption with a +5V supply. Consider the MAX5172 if a +3V supply is available. Evaluate the need for internal vs. external references; this part requires an external reference. Verify that the 14-bit resolution and 18µs settling time meet system performance requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX5170 is part of the Maxim Integrated low-power serial DAC family. It offers 14-bit resolution and is pin-compatible with the 12-bit MAX5174/MAX5176. The device is designed for space-constrained applications due to its compact 16-pin QSOP package. It is suitable for systems needing precise voltage control with minimal power usage.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5172 is a pin-compatible alternative operating from a +3V supply. For 12-bit resolution options, consider the MAX5174/MAX5176. Internal reference versions are available in the MAX5130/MAX5131 series. Verify functional equivalence and interface compatibility before substitution.

Digital To Analog Converters FAQ

What is the maximum serial clock frequency?

The maximum serial clock frequency is 10MHz for the MAX5170.

How is the output offset adjusted?

The offset is adjusted by applying a voltage to the OS pin. Connecting OS to AGND results in no offset.

Can multiple devices be daisy-chained?

Yes, the DOUT pin allows multiple MAX5170/MAX5172 devices to be daisy-chained together using a common DIN and SCLK line.
