MAX5206AEUB+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5206AEUB+T is a serial input, voltage-output 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) operating from a +3V or +3.3V single power supply with an external reference range of +2V to VDD. It provides monotonic 16-bit output over the extended temperature range (-40°C to +105°C). Key electrical parameters include a typical supply current of 0.5mA, shutdown current of 1µA, and output settling time of 25µs to ±1LSB. The device features a rail-to-rail output amplifier with a slew rate of 0.6V/µs.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Guaranteed 16-bit monotonic performance across the full temperature range without adjustments
• Hardware reset input (CLR) for deterministic power-on states
• Low-power shutdown mode reducing supply current to 1µA
• Space-saving 10-pin µMAX package

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 that the component matches the specific A-grade accuracy specifications and the -40°C to +105°C extended temperature range required for the application. Confirm the presence of the '+' suffix indicates lead-free compliance if environmental regulations apply. Ensure the external reference voltage source supports the required 2V to VDD input range for proper operation.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this part when a low pin-count, high-resolution DAC is needed for single-supply applications. The MAX5206 variant is specifically designed for +3V or +3.3V systems, distinguishing it from the +5V MAX5204. Consider the A-grade linearity specifications if tighter integral nonlinearity limits are necessary compared to B-grade alternatives.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX5204–MAX5207 family of low-cost, voltage-output DACs. The MAX5206 specifically targets lower voltage single-supply environments, offering 16-bit resolution in a compact 10-pin µMAX package. It shares interface and functional similarities with other members of the series but differs in supply voltage requirements and power-on reset behavior.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5206ACUB serves as a commercial grade alternative with a 0°C to +70°C temperature range. The MAX5206BEUB offers a different linearity grade within the same extended temperature range. Verify that any substitute maintains the 3-wire serial compatibility and single-supply operation constraints.
