MAX5361LEUK+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5361LEUK+T is a low-cost, low-power 6-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) housed in a miniature 5-pin SOT23 package. It features an internal +4V reference and operates from a supply voltage range of +4.5V to +5.5V. The device utilizes a fast-mode I²C-compatible serial interface supporting data rates up to 400kbps. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum supply current of 230µA, a shutdown mode with current consumption below 1µA, and a power-on reset that ensures the DAC output is at zero upon initial power application. The part offers ±1 LSB maximum integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL).

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrated buffered output capable of driving resistive loads.
• Low-power shutdown mode reduces supply current to less than 1µA.
• Power-on reset circuit ensures DAC outputs are at zero during startup.
• Fast-mode I²C-compatible serial interface minimizes board space.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Automatic Tuning (VCO)
• Power Amplifier Bias Control
• Programmable Threshold Levels
• Automatic Gain Control
• Automatic Offset Adjustment

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LEUK' corresponds to the required factory-preset slave address (0x60) for system compatibility. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the '+' designation in the ordering information. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Check for obsolescence notices as component availability may vary by manufacturer lifecycle stage.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel 6-bit resolution is sufficient for the application. The internal +4V reference eliminates the need for external reference components, simplifying the design. Verify that the system supply voltage falls strictly between +4.5V and +5.5V, as other variants in the series support different voltage ranges. Consider the SOT23-5 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal dissipation requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX5360/MAX5361/MAX5362 family of low-cost, low-power 6-bit DACs. While sharing identical pinouts and interfaces, the family members differ primarily in their internal reference voltages and supported supply ranges. The MAX5361 specifically targets applications requiring a stable +4V reference within a +4.5V to +5.5V supply window.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include MAX5360LEUK+T and MAX5362LEUK+T, provided their respective reference voltages (+2V and 0.9 x VDD) and supply voltage ranges meet the design requirements. Other suffixes (M, N, P) offer different slave addresses but maintain functional equivalence.
