MAX5205BEUB+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5205BEUB+T is a serial input, voltage-output 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in a 10-pin µMAX package. It operates from a single +5V supply with an external reference ranging from +4V to VDD. The device provides guaranteed monotonic 16-bit output over the extended temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. Key electrical parameters include a typical supply current of 0.8mA and a shutdown current of 1µA. The output settles to ±1LSB in 25µs, with a slew rate of 0.6V/µs.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Guaranteed 16-bit monotonic performance without adjustment
• Hardware reset input clears output to zero scale
• Low-power shutdown mode reduces consumption to 1µA
• Compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE interfaces

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 'E' for the -40°C to +105°C temperature range and 'B' for the ±40 LSB INL specification. Confirm the '+T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging if required by assembly equipment. Ensure the external reference voltage meets the +4V minimum requirement for proper operation within the +5V supply system.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-supply 16-bit DAC is needed with rail-to-rail output capability. The MAX5205 variant specifically resets to zero-scale upon power-up, unlike the midscale-reset MAX5204. It is suitable for space-constrained designs due to the compact 10-pin µMAX footprint and low power consumption characteristics.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5204–MAX5207 family of low-cost, voltage-output DACs. These devices share identical pinouts and interface protocols but differ in supply voltage requirements (+5V vs +3V), internal reference configurations, and power-on reset states. The MAX5205 series is designed for +5V applications requiring zero-scale initialization.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5204AEUB+T serves as a functional substitute with identical specifications except for the power-on reset state, which defaults to midscale rather than zero-scale. Designers must verify that the system logic can tolerate the midscale output during initial power-up sequences.
