MAX526CCNG

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX526CCNG+ is a calibrated, quad, voltage-output digital-to-analog converter featuring 12-bit resolution. It utilizes an R-2R architecture with parallel interface control and buffered voltage outputs. The device operates on dual supplies ranging from -5 V to +12 V or +15 V, consuming 11 mA of supply current. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 3 µs, differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB, and integral nonlinearity of ±0.5 LSB. It is housed in a 24-pin PDIP package and functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. The MAX526CCNG+ indicates a commercial grade part in a PDIP package. Cross-reference manufacturer datasheets for pinout compatibility and electrical limits before integration. Confirm availability status through authorized distributors as lead times may vary.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when four independent 12-bit voltage outputs are required with minimal external circuitry. The buffered outputs simplify layout by driving capacitive loads directly. Ensure the system interface matches the parallel data format. Compare INL and DNL specifications against application tolerance requirements. Verify that the operating voltage range aligns with available system power rails.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX526 belongs to a family of high-speed, low-power digital-to-analog converters from Maxim Integrated. This series offers various packaging options including SOIC and DIP formats. The CCNG variant specifically denotes the commercial temperature range and through-hole packaging. It serves as a solution for applications demanding moderate speed and high accuracy in compact designs.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 12-bit resolution, quad channel count, and parallel interface. Verify that substitute devices offer comparable settling times and linearity specifications. Check for compatible pinouts to minimize board redesign efforts. Confirm that alternative parts support the same dual-supply voltage ranges and output buffering capabilities.
