MAX5355CPA

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5355CPA is a low-power, voltage-output, 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) integrated 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 less than 280µA of supply current. The device features a software shutdown mode reducing current to 4µA and includes a power-on reset that clears the DAC output to zero. It utilizes a serial interface compatible with SPI/QSPI and Microwire protocols.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Combines a 10-bit DAC with a configurable precision output amplifier
• Features a double-buffered input register for independent or simultaneous updates
• Includes Schmitt-trigger digital inputs for direct optocoupler interfacing
• Provides software-programmable shutdown and power-on reset functionality

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Digital offset and gain adjustment
• Industrial process controls
• Microprocessor-controlled systems
• Portable test instruments
• Remote industrial controls

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'CPA' corresponds to the 8-pin Plastic DIP package and the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Confirm compatibility with existing board layouts designed for this specific footprint. Ensure the system logic levels align with the +3.3V operation requirements specified for the MAX5355 variant.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select the MAX5355CPA when a single +3.3V supply is available and a through-hole 8-pin DIP package is required. This part is suitable for applications needing low power consumption and high accuracy within the commercial temperature range. Consider the MAX5354 if a +5V supply is preferred, or the MAX5355EUA if surface-mount packaging is necessary.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX5355CPA belongs to the MAX5354/MAX5355 family of 10-bit voltage-output DACs manufactured by Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices Inc. This series is distinguished by its integration of a precision output amplifier and its ability to operate on low-voltage single supplies while maintaining low power consumption.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5355CUA serves as a surface-mount replacement offering identical electrical characteristics but housed in an 8-pin µMAX package instead of the Plastic DIP.
