MAX525BEAP+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX525BEAP+T is a low-power, quad, 12-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with serial interface. It integrates four DACs and precision output amplifiers in a 20-pin SSOP package. Operating on a single +5V supply, it features R-2R architecture with INL of ±1 LSB and DNL of ±1 LSB. Supply current is 0.85mA normal, 10µA shutdown. Settling time is 12µs to ±1/2LSB. Slew rate is 0.6V/µs. Reference bandwidth is 650kHz.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix AP+T indicates the SSOP package and tape-and-reel shipping format. Confirm the BE grade corresponds to the -40°C to +85°C temperature range and ±1 LSB INL specification. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts for the 20-pin SSOP footprint. Check for any obsolescence notices from Analog Devices regarding this specific part number variant.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when four independent 12-bit voltage outputs are required in a compact space. The BE grade is suitable for commercial applications requiring extended temperature ranges up to +85°C. Consider the double-buffered input registers for flexible update schemes. Evaluate the 0.85mA supply current against system power budgets compared to higher-performance alternatives.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX525 family of low-power, quad, 12-bit voltage-output DACs. The family offers various package options including Plastic DIP and CERDIP, and different temperature grades such as AC/AP for commercial use and AE/AEPP for extended industrial ranges. All variants share the same core functionality and pinout.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and electrical specifications include the MAX525AEAP+T and MAX525BEPP+. Verify that the replacement maintains the required temperature range and linearity specifications. Ensure the serial interface timing remains compatible with the host microcontroller.
