MAX5253ACPP

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5253ACPP is a quad, 12-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with integrated precision output amplifiers in a 20-pin SSOP package. It operates on a single +3.0V to +3.6V analog supply and features a 3-wire serial interface compatible with SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE protocols. The device includes double-buffered input registers, software shutdown reducing current to 3µA, and an active-low reset clearing outputs to zero. Integral nonlinearity is specified at ±0.5 LSB for the AC grade.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Quad 12-bit DACs with configurable output amplifiers
• Single +3.0V to +3.6V supply operation
• Software shutdown mode with low power consumption
• Active-low reset clears all registers and DACs to zero

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial Process Controls
• Automatic Test Equipment
• Digital Offset and Gain Adjustment
• Motion Control Systems
• Microprocessor-Controlled Systems

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ACPP' corresponds to the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and ±0.5 LSB INL specification as documented in the ordering information table. Confirm the package type matches the 20-pin SSOP requirement. Ensure compatibility with the required serial interface protocol (SPI/QSPI or MICROWIRE) before integration.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when four independent 12-bit voltage outputs are required within a compact footprint. The dual reference inputs allow different full-scale ranges for paired DACs. Consider the available gain configurations via accessible amplifier feedback pins if signal conditioning beyond unity gain is needed for the application.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5253 family of low-power, voltage-output DACs from Maxim Integrated. The family offers variations in accuracy grades (AC vs BC) and operating temperature ranges (Commercial vs Extended). The AC grade provides tighter linearity specifications compared to the standard BC grade.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5253BCPP serves as a lower-accuracy alternative within the same package and pinout, featuring ±1 LSB INL instead of ±0.5 LSB. Both parts share identical electrical interfaces and functional descriptions, differing primarily in linearity performance and temperature grade availability.
