MAX5351BCPA

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5351BCPA is a low-power, 13-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a precision output amplifier in an 8-pin plastic DIP package. It operates from a single +3.15V to +3.6V supply and draws 0.24mA typical supply current. The device features a double-buffered serial interface compatible with SPI/QSPI or Microwire protocols. Key electrical specifications include a maximum integral nonlinearity of ±2 LSB and differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB. The output settling time is typically 16µs to ±1/2LSB.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates a 13-bit DAC with a configurable precision output amplifier for flexible gain settings.
• Features a software-programmable shutdown mode that significantly reduces power consumption.
• Includes Schmitt-trigger digital inputs to allow direct interfacing with optocouplers.
• Provides a power-on reset function that clears the DAC output to 0V upon initialization.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial Process Controls
• Automatic Test Equipment
• Digital Offset and Gain Adjustment
• Motion Control Systems

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BCPA' corresponds to the commercial temperature range and plastic DIP packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older Maxim datasheets may list non-compliant variants. Ensure the design supports the required 3.3V logic levels and reference voltage constraints specified in the electrical characteristics table.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 13-bit resolution is required with a single 3.3V supply. The MAX5351 variant is distinct from the MAX535 due to its lower operating voltage range. Consider the external reference requirement and the availability of the 8-pin DIP package for through-hole prototyping or legacy board designs.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX535/MAX5351 family of low-power DACs. The MAX5351 series is specifically designed for 3.3V operation, whereas the MAX535 series supports 5V supplies. Both share identical pinouts and serial interface protocols, differing primarily in supply voltage ranges and associated performance metrics.
