MAX5362MEUK-T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5362MEUK-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 reference voltage equal to 0.9 x VDD and operates over a wide supply range of +2.7V 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 full-scale error of -5%, integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ≤1LSB, and a typical output settling time of 5µs. Supply current is typically 230µA, reducing to less than 1µA in shutdown mode.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrated buffered output capable of driving resistive loads
• Low-power shutdown mode with internal pull-down resistor
• Power-on reset ensures zero DAC output upon startup
• Factory-preset slave address for simplified bus integration

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Automatic tuning for Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO)
• Power amplifier bias control
• Programmable threshold levels
• Automatic gain control circuits
• Automatic offset adjustment systems

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'MEUK' corresponds to the required factory preset slave address (0x62) and temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm that the internal reference configuration (0.9 x VDD) aligns with the system's analog output requirements. Ensure the selected component matches the exact manufacturer specifications provided in the official datasheet.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 6-bit resolution is sufficient for the application. The wide supply voltage range (+2.7V to +5.5V) allows flexibility in power design. Consider the internal reference characteristic (0.9 x VDD) which ties the output scale directly to the supply voltage. Verify that the SOT23-5 package footprint meets the board layout constraints.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5360/MAX5361/MAX5362 family of low-cost, low-power DACs. While sharing the same package and interface, the MAX5362 differs from the MAX5360 and MAX5361 by its wider operating supply range and its unique internal reference architecture based on the supply voltage rather than a fixed voltage source.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include MAX5360MEUK-T and MAX5361MEUK-T, though they possess different internal references and supply voltage ranges. Other Maxim Integrated 6-bit DACs may serve as alternatives if pin compatibility and interface protocols are verified.
