MAX5259EEE+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5259EEE+ is an 8-bit octal digital-to-analog converter featuring rail-to-rail buffered voltage outputs. It operates on a single +2.7V to +3.6V supply with a typical supply current of 1.3mA and a shutdown current of 0.24µA. The device provides ±1LSB maximum INL and DNL, ensuring monotonic performance. Output settling time is typically 7µs to 1/2 LSB. It utilizes a 10MHz SPI-compatible serial interface and includes a serial data output for daisy-chaining capabilities.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Octal architecture providing eight independent 8-bit DAC channels in a single package
• Rail-to-Rail output buffers allowing full-scale voltage swing from ground to the positive supply
• Double-buffered registers enabling simultaneous or individual updates via software commands
• Serial data output facilitates daisy-chaining multiple devices using a standard 3-wire interface

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Digital gain and offset adjustment circuits
• Programmable attenuators
• Programmable current sources
• Portable instruments requiring low power consumption

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the +3V supply variant rather than the +5V version. Confirm the package type matches the 16-pin QSOP specification. Ensure environmental compliance requirements align with the RoHS status indicated in official documentation before finalizing procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when an application requires multiple analog outputs from a single integrated circuit. It is suitable for systems operating within the +2.7V to +3.6V range where low power consumption is critical. The rail-to-rail output capability makes it ideal for low-voltage signal conditioning tasks.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5258/MAX5259 family of low-power, 8-bit octal DACs manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. The MAX5259 specifically denotes the variant optimized for +3V operation, while the MAX5258 supports +5V supplies. Both share identical pinouts and functional architectures.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5258 serves as a direct functional substitute if the system design accommodates a +5V supply voltage instead of +3V. Verify that the supply voltage constraints of the target application align with the replacement part's operational limits.
