MAX5259EEE+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5259EEE+T is an octal, 8-bit 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 INL and DNL, settling within 7µs, and supports 10MHz SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE interfaces.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Octal architecture with eight independent 8-bit DAC channels
• Rail-to-Rail output buffers for full supply range utilization
• Double-buffered registers enabling synchronous updates via LDAC
• Serial data output (DOUT) facilitates daisy-chaining multiple devices

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Digital gain and offset adjustment circuits
• Programmable attenuators
• Programmable current sources
• Portable battery-powered instruments

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging by consulting the manufacturer's official ordering guide or datasheet revision notes. Confirm that the specific lot date code meets project requirements. Ensure the component is sourced from authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this part for low-voltage applications requiring multiple analog outputs. It is suitable where power consumption must be minimized in standby modes. Verify compatibility with the system's serial clock speed and logic levels. Ensure the reference voltage input range aligns with the available supply rails.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX5258/MAX5259 family of low-power, 8-bit octal DACs. The MAX5259 variant is specifically optimized for +3V operation, whereas the MAX5258 supports +5V supplies. Both share identical pinouts and functional characteristics, differing primarily in their recommended operating supply voltage ranges.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5258 serves as a direct functional substitute if the application requires a +5V supply instead of +3V. Ensure the replacement matches the 16-pin QSOP package dimensions. Verify that the serial interface timing parameters remain compatible with the host microcontroller.
