MAX533ACEE

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX533ACEE is an 8-bit quad digital-to-analog converter (DAC) operating from a single +2.7V to +3.6V supply. It features four voltage-output channels with internal precision buffers that swing rail-to-rail. The device utilizes a double-buffered serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI, and Microwire protocols, supporting clock rates up to 10MHz. Key electrical parameters include a typical supply current of 0.68mA during operation and 1µA in shutdown mode. Integral nonlinearity (INL) is specified at ±2 LSB for the 'C' grade, while differential nonlinearity (DNL) is ±1 LSB. The output settling time is typically 6µs to 0.5 LSB. The component is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Quad-channel architecture with integrated rail-to-rail output buffer amplifiers
• Double-buffered registers enabling independent or simultaneous updates via software commands
• Serial data output capability facilitating daisy-chaining of multiple devices
• Asynchronous hardware clear and load DAC inputs for direct register control

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Digital gain and offset adjustments
• Programmable attenuators
• Portable instruments

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ACEE' against the manufacturer's ordering information to confirm the 16-pin QSOP package and industrial temperature range. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the QSOP footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation prior to integration.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, multi-channel DAC is required for single-supply applications. The rail-to-rail output capability allows for maximum dynamic range without negative supplies. Verify that the 8-bit resolution meets system accuracy requirements and that the serial interface timing aligns with the host microcontroller capabilities.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX533ACEE belongs to the MAX533 family of low-power, serial-input DACs manufactured by Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated. This series is designed for battery-powered systems requiring minimal power consumption. The 'ACEE' designation specifically identifies the commercial temperature grade and the 16-lead QSOP surface-mount package variant within the broader product line.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package and specification grade should be verified using the manufacturer's cross-reference tools. Alternative quad-DACs may require interface adaptation if they do not support the specific SPI/QSPI/Microwire modes used by the MAX533.
