MAX5441ACUA+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5441ACUA+ is a serial-input, voltage-output, 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from a single +5V supply and features an ultra-small 8-pin µMAX package measuring 3mm x 5mm. The device provides full 16-bit performance with ±2LSB integral nonlinearity (INL) and ±1LSB differential nonlinearity (DNL). It utilizes a 25MHz, 3-wire serial interface compatible with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE standards. Key electrical parameters include a typical supply current of 120µA, a settling time of 1µs, and an unbuffered voltage output capable of driving loads greater than 60kΩ.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific suffix 'CUA+' corresponds to the commercial temperature range and lead-free packaging requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 8-pin µMAX package before finalizing procurement orders.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when 16-bit resolution and low power are critical. The unbuffered output requires external buffering for low-impedance loads. Verify that the system's reference voltage falls within the specified input range. Consider the extended temperature variant if operation beyond 70°C is required.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5441–MAX5444 family of 16-bit DACs. The MAX5441 specifically denotes the unipolar, +5V supply version in an 8-pin package. Other variants in the series offer bipolar outputs or +3V operation. The family shares common architectural features but differs in pin configurations and supply voltage requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the MAX5441AEUA+ for extended temperature ranges. Cross-family replacements require careful evaluation of pinout compatibility, supply voltage constraints, and serial interface timing specifications.
