MAX543BEPA+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX543BEPA+ is a serial, CMOS, multiplying 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices under the Maxim Integrated brand. It features an R-2R resistor ladder structure and accepts a 3-wire serial interface for data input. The device operates with dual analog and digital power supplies ranging from 4.75 V to 15.75 V. It provides a current-unbuffered output type and achieves a settling time of 250 ns. The component is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package and supports through-hole mounting.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Multiplying architecture allows the DAC reference voltage to function as an additional input signal.
• Serial control interface utilizes a standard 3-wire protocol for simplified system integration.
• CMOS technology ensures low power consumption suitable for battery-operated applications.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Programmable gain amplifiers requiring precise gain adjustment
• Voltage-controlled filters where frequency tuning is digitally managed
• Instrumentation systems needing programmable offset calibration

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EPA+' against the official datasheet to confirm the package type and temperature range. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact commercial grade specifications required for your design. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm availability status and any potential lifecycle changes before finalizing procurement plans.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a multiplying DAC capability is required alongside 12-bit resolution. Verify that the external reference voltage range aligns with the 4.75 V to 15.75 V supply limits. Confirm that the unbuffered current output meets the load requirements or consider adding an external amplifier if voltage drive is necessary.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX543A series of 12-bit serial DACs. It shares functional similarities with other members like the MAX543ACPA+, differing primarily in performance grades and packaging options within the same family line.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX543ACPA+ serves as a direct pin-compatible alternative within the same series. Verify that the industrial temperature range and specific electrical tolerances of the substitute meet the original design constraints.
