MAX5216GUA+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5216GUA+ is a single-channel, 16-bit digital-to-analog converter featuring a buffered voltage output. It operates on a wide supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V with a maximum supply current of 80µA. The device utilizes a high-resistance reference input for rail-to-rail operation and includes a 3-wire serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP protocols. Integral nonlinearity is specified at ±4 LSB maximum, with a typical settling time of 18µs to ±0.5 LSB.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Ultra-low power consumption with 80µA maximum supply current
• Rail-to-rail buffered voltage output capable of driving 10kΩ loads
• Asynchronous CLR pin clears DAC output to zero independent of serial interface
• Digital input buffers powered down after each serial frame to minimize noise feedthrough

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• 2-Wire Sensors
• Communication Systems
• Automatic Tuning
• Gain and Offset Adjustment
• Portable Instrumentation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' against official Analog Devices documentation, as standard datasheets typically list the 'GUA+' package without this suffix. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free certification directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact package type and temperature range requirements for the intended application environment.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select the MAX5216GUA+ when 16-bit resolution and low power are critical constraints. Compare against the MAX5214 if 14-bit resolution suffices, as both share pin compatibility. Consider the high reference input impedance for reduced system power consumption. Evaluate the 3-wire serial interface requirements against available microcontroller resources and clock speed limitations up to 50MHz.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX5216 belongs to the MAX5214/MAX5216 family of low-power, buffered output DACs from Analog Devices (Maxim Integrated). These devices are designed for applications requiring high accuracy in small form factors. The MAX5216 provides 16-bit resolution, while the MAX5214 offers 14-bit resolution, both sharing identical pinouts and software compatibility within an 8-pin µMAX package.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5214 is a pin-compatible alternative offering 14-bit resolution. Verify that the reduced resolution meets application accuracy requirements before substitution. Both devices share the same package outline and serial interface protocol, facilitating direct hardware swaps if software adjustments are feasible.
