MAX5204ACUB+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5204ACUB+T is a 16-bit, serial input, voltage-output digital-to-analog converter in a 10-pin µMAX package. It operates from a single +5V supply with an external reference range of +4V to VDD. Key electrical parameters include a typical output settling time of 25µs to ±1LSB, a supply current of 0.8mA to 1.5mA, and a shutdown current of 1µA. The device features a rail-to-rail output amplifier and guarantees monotonic performance over the 0°C to +70°C temperature range.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Guaranteed 16-bit monotonic operation without adjustment
• Rail-to-rail buffered output amplifier
• Hardware reset input for midscale or zero-scale initialization
• Low-power shutdown mode reducing supply current to 1µA

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Low-cost VCO/VCXO frequency control
• Industrial process control systems
• High-resolution offset adjustment circuits

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ACUB' corresponds to the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and +5V supply requirement. Confirm that the '+T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging if required by assembly equipment. Check for end-of-life status as older Maxim Integrated products may have been discontinued or superseded by newer Analog Devices variants.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-supply, 16-bit resolution DAC is needed with minimal pin count. Ensure the application requires an external reference voltage between +4V and VDD. Consider the MAX5205 variant if a zero-scale power-on reset is preferred over the midscale reset provided by the MAX5204.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX5204 is part of the MAX5204–MAX5207 family of low-cost, voltage-output DACs. These devices share similar architectures but differ in supply voltage requirements (+5V vs. +3V/+3.3V) and power-on reset behaviors. The MAX5204 specifically targets +5V applications requiring midscale initialization upon power-up.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitutes are not explicitly listed in the provided documentation. Users should consult the manufacturer's selector guide for direct replacements within the MAX520x family or newer Analog Devices DAC portfolios that match the 16-bit resolution and 10-pin µMAX footprint.
