MAX535AEPA+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX535AEPA+ is a low-power, 13-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a serial interface. It integrates an R-2R ladder network and a precision output amplifier in an 8-pin Plastic DIP package. The device operates from a single +5V supply within a 4.5V to 5.5V range. Key electrical parameters include a typical supply current of 0.28mA, a shutdown current of 4µA, and a settling time of 16µs. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs for direct optocoupler interfacing and supports SPI/QSPI or Microwire protocols.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates a 13-bit DAC with a configurable output amplifier
• Features software-programmable shutdown mode for power reduction
• Includes power-on reset that clears the DAC output to 0V
• Provides TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs buffered with Schmitt triggers

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial process controls
• Automatic test equipment
• Digital offset and gain adjustment
• Motion control systems
• Remote industrial controls

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific 'A' grade accuracy and 'E' temperature rating match design requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Ensure the PDIP-8 package dimensions align with PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this part when a 13-bit resolution is required with a single +5V supply. The 'A' suffix indicates tighter integral nonlinearity specifications compared to lower grades. The 'E' suffix ensures operation across the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Verify that the external reference voltage source can handle the code-dependent input impedance variations at the REF pin.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX535/MAX5351 family of low-power DACs. The MAX535 variant specifically targets +5V applications, whereas the MAX5351 is designed for +3.3V supplies. Both share identical pinouts and functional descriptions but differ in supply voltage ranges and reference input specifications.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include MAX535BEPA+ for standard industrial temperature ranges. For extended temperature operations, MAX5351AEPA+ serves as a compatible alternative if the system operates on +3.3V. Always verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics against the original datasheet.
