MAX5384EZT-T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5384EZT-T is an 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features a single voltage-buffered output and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V for both analog and digital domains. The device utilizes a 3-wire serial interface compatible with Microwire, QSPI, and SPI protocols. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 20 µs, differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB, and integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB. It is housed in a compact SOT-23-6 package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates a current-steering architecture for efficient digital-to-analog conversion.
• Provides a buffered voltage output suitable for direct driving of downstream circuits.
• Supports standard 3-wire serial communication protocols including Microwire and SPI.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Battery-powered instrumentation systems requiring low power consumption.
• Programmable gain amplifier offset adjustment circuits.
• Portable medical devices utilizing serial control interfaces.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for end-of-life notices, as the product may be subject to obsolescence. Ensure the specific tape-and-reel packaging matches design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit resolution with a single buffered output is required in a minimal footprint. The SOT-23-6 package offers space efficiency for dense PCB layouts. Ensure the system operates within the 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range and requires compatibility with 3-wire serial buses.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5384 series of low-cost, low-power DACs. It shares functional similarities with other members of the family but is distinguished by its specific 8-bit resolution, 3-wire interface, and SOT-23-6 packaging configuration designed for cost-sensitive applications.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Consider the MAX5381LEUK+T for designs requiring a 2-wire I2C interface instead of 3-wire. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications against the MAX5380MEUK+T if lower voltage operation is needed.
