MAX536BEWE+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX536BEWE+ is a quad, 12-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) housed in a 16-pin Wide SO package. It integrates four precision output amplifiers and features factory calibration for ±1 LSB total unadjusted error. The device operates with a positive supply of +10.8V to +13.2V and a negative supply of -5V. It utilizes a double-buffered input structure with separate input and DAC registers, accessible via a 3-wire or 4-wire serial interface compatible with SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE protocols. The typical settling time is 3µs to ±0.5 LSB.

• Remote Industrial Controls

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BEWE+' against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to confirm lead-free/RoHS compliance and temperature range specifications. Ensure the power supply configuration matches the MAX536 requirements (+10.8V to +13.2V and -5V) rather than the MAX537 configuration. Confirm package availability and authenticity through authorized distribution channels.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad-channel, high-precision DAC with wide supply voltage ranges is required. The MAX536 variant is distinct from the MAX537 due to its higher positive supply requirement (+10.8V to +13.2V vs. +5V). Ensure the application supports the necessary dual-supply architecture and reference voltage constraints defined in the datasheet.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX536BEWE+ belongs to the MAX536/MAX537 family of calibrated, quad, 12-bit voltage-output DACs. This series combines four DACs and four precision output amplifiers in a compact 16-pin package. The MAX536 specifically targets applications requiring wider positive supply voltages compared to the single-supply MAX537 counterpart.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX536AEWE+ serves as a direct replacement offering tighter linearity specifications (±0.5 LSB INL) within the same package and electrical parameters. Verify that the pinout and interface timing remain identical before substitution.
