MAX530ACNG

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX530ACNG is a low-power, 12-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from single +5V or dual ±5V supplies with an operating current of 250µA at +5V and 40µA in shutdown mode. The device features a laser-trimmed internal 2.048V reference and a buffered output amplifier. Relative accuracy is ±0.5 LSB maximum over the temperature range. It utilizes double-buffered parallel logic inputs compatible with 4-bit, 8-bit, and 16-bit microprocessors. The component is housed in a 24-pin Narrow Plastic DIP package and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix ACNG corresponds to the 24-pin Narrow Plastic DIP package and the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for the intended assembly process. Ensure the source documentation matches the manufacturer's official datasheet specifications for electrical performance.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12-bit resolution DAC with parallel input is required for space-constrained designs using through-hole packaging. It is suitable for applications needing low power consumption from a single +5V supply. Consider the internal reference and buffer if external components must be minimized. Verify compatibility with the system's microprocessor data bus width and timing constraints.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX530ACNG belongs to the MAX530 series of low-power, 12-bit DACs. This series includes variants with serial interfaces such as the MAX531, MAX538, and MAX539. The ACNG suffix specifically denotes the commercial temperature grade and the 24-pin narrow plastic DIP physical form factor within the broader product family.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacement options include other MAX530 variants with different packages like SSOP or Wide SO, provided the pinout remains compatible. For serial interface alternatives, consult the MAX531/MAX538/MAX539 data sheet.
