MAX534ACPE+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX534ACPE+ is an 8-bit quad digital-to-analog converter (DAC) operating from a single +4.5V to +5.5V supply. It features four voltage-output channels with rail-to-rail precision buffers and a ground-to-VDD reference input range. The device utilizes a double-buffered serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI, and Microwire protocols, supporting clock rates up to 10MHz. Key electrical specifications include a typical output settling time of 8µs, a maximum integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±2 LSB, and a maximum differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB. Supply current consumption is 0.8mA during operation and reduces to 2.5µA in shutdown mode. The component is housed in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Double-buffered registers enable synchronous updating of all DAC outputs via software commands or asynchronous hardware pins.
• Serial data output pin facilitates daisy-chaining multiple devices using a standard three-wire interface.
• Software shutdown mode significantly reduces power consumption by disabling internal buffer amplifiers.
• Asynchronous hardware clear pin resets all internal registers and forces DAC outputs to zero.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

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

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ACPE corresponds to the commercial temperature grade and plastic DIP package configuration required for the design. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated on the manufacturer's official documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, quad-channel DAC with rail-to-rail output capability is needed. Ensure the system requires a single +5V supply and can accommodate the specified serial interface timing constraints. Verify that the 8-bit resolution meets the application accuracy requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX534 family of low-power, 8-bit quad DACs manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. The ACPE variant specifically denotes the commercial temperature range and through-hole packaging option within the broader product line.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the MAX534 series such as MAX534BCPE+ for different linearity grades or MAX534AEPE+ for extended industrial temperature ranges. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
