MAX5351AEUA+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5351AEUA+T is a low-power, 13-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a precision output amplifier in an 8-pin µMAX package. It operates from a single +3.3V supply and draws 240µA in normal operation and 2µA in shutdown mode. The device features a double-buffered input register and DAC register, accepting 16-bit serial words via SPI/QSPI or Microwire interfaces. Key electrical parameters include a typical settling time of 16µs to ±1/2LSB, a reference bandwidth of 650kHz, and integral nonlinearity of ±1 LSB. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Configurable output amplifier with accessible inverting input for gain setting and remote sensing
• Software-programmable shutdown mode for significant power reduction
• Double-buffered serial interface compatible with standard communication protocols
• Power-on reset ensures DAC output initializes to 0V

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial process controls
• Automatic test equipment
• Digital offset and gain adjustment
• Motion control systems
• Microprocessor-controlled systems

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm the 'A' grade meets the required linearity specifications for your application. Check current availability status as older Maxim products may have limited stock or require alternative sourcing channels.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 13-bit resolution with low power consumption on a 3.3V supply. Ensure the system supports the required serial interface timing. Consider the MAX535 variant if a 5V supply is available instead. Verify that the load requirements do not exceed the amplifier's drive capability.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX535/MAX5351 family of low-power DACs. The MAX5351 variant is specifically designed for 3.3V operation, whereas the MAX535 operates at 5V. Both share identical pinouts and functional characteristics, differing primarily in supply voltage requirements and reference input ranges.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include MAX5351BEUA+T for commercial temperature range or MAX5351AEPA for DIP packaging. Cross-family alternatives like the MAX5355 offer lower resolution but similar form factors.
