MAX5361LEUK

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5361LEUK+T is a low-cost, low-power 6-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features a single channel with a current steering architecture and provides a buffered voltage output. The device communicates via a 2-Wire I2C compatible serial interface. It operates on both analog and digital power supplies ranging from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The component supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a compact SOT-23-5 surface-mount package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrated buffered voltage output stage for direct drive applications
• Compact SOT-23-5 packaging suitable for space-constrained designs
• I2C compatible serial interface simplifies system connectivity

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Battery-powered portable instrumentation
• Low-resolution control loops in embedded systems
• Programmable bias generation in consumer electronics

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (+T) indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor certificates. Ensure the supplier provides traceability data consistent with Analog Devices quality standards for this component series.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a minimal pin count and low power consumption are critical constraints. The 6-bit resolution limits precision; verify that +/- 1 LSB DNL/INL specifications meet application accuracy requirements. Consider the SOT-23-5 thermal characteristics if high ambient temperatures are expected within the specified operating range.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5361 family of low-cost DACs. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX5381 but offers lower 6-bit resolution compared to the 8-bit variant. The LEUK suffix denotes the lead-free, green (RoHS compliant) version in the SOT-23-5 package, distinguishing it from older non-compliant or larger package options.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5361NEUK+T serves as a direct functional substitute within the same series, offering identical electrical performance and pinout compatibility in the SOT-23-5 package.
