MAX5441AEUA

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5441AEUA+ 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) over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range. It consumes a low supply current of 120µA and achieves a fast output settling time of 1µs. The DAC utilizes a 25MHz, 3-wire serial interface compatible with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE standards.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'EUA+' corresponds to the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and the 8-pin µMAX package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the '+' suffix in official documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select the MAX5441AEUA+ when bipolar operation or mid-scale power-on reset is not required, as this variant clears to code 0. Ensure the application supports unbuffered voltage outputs driving loads greater than 60kΩ to maintain specified linearity without external buffering amplifiers.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX5441–MAX5444 family of 16-bit serial-input DACs. The MAX5441 variant specifically supports unipolar +5V operation with a power-on reset to zero code. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX5442, which offers bipolar capabilities and mid-scale reset, but differs in pin count and internal scaling resistor configurations.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5441ACUA+ serves as a direct substitute within the same family, offering identical electrical characteristics but restricted to the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.
