MAX528EWG+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX528EWG+T is an octal, serial, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) featuring integrated output buffers. Manufactured by Analog Devices under the Maxim Integrated brand, this component utilizes a 3-wire serial interface for data input and control. It operates within a supply voltage range of -5.5 V to 0 V or 10.8 V to 16.5 V for both analog and digital domains. The device employs an R-2R resistor ladder architecture and delivers a settling time of 3 µs. It is housed in a 24-pin SOIC-Wide package with industrial temperature ratings spanning from -40°C to +85°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official manufacturer documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the SOIC-Wide footprint. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate pinout consistency before finalizing procurement orders.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple low-resolution analog outputs are required from a single serial bus source. Consider the 8-bit resolution limits for precision applications. Evaluate the 3-wire interface speed requirements against system timing constraints. Confirm that the available supply voltages align with the specified operating range.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX528 family of octal DACs designed for high-density analog output applications. It serves as a surface-mount variant of through-hole DIP versions, facilitating automated assembly processes. The series is characterized by its ability to drive external loads directly via internal buffers without additional amplification stages.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for compatible octal DACs with similar serial interfaces. Verify pinout compatibility if replacing with variants from the same product family. Check for equivalent thermal performance and package dimensions during direct swap scenarios.
