MAX5441BEUA+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5441BEUA+ 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 ±4 LSB integral nonlinearity (INL) and ±1 LSB differential nonlinearity (DNL) over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range. It utilizes a 25MHz, 3-wire serial interface compatible with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE standards. Key electrical characteristics include a low supply current of 120µA, a fast settling time of 1µs, and an unbuffered voltage output capable of driving loads greater than 60kΩ.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and 'B' denotes the ±4 LSB INL specification. Confirm the '+ ' suffix signifies lead-free/RoHS compliance. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact package type and performance grade required for the application environment.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select the MAX5441BEUA+ when a 16-bit resolution DAC is required in an 8-pin surface-mount package. Choose this variant specifically for its extended industrial temperature rating and ±4 LSB INL accuracy. Consider the unbuffered output impedance limitations if driving loads lower than 60kΩ or requiring higher drive capability.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX5441–MAX5444 family of 16-bit DACs. The MAX5441 series specifically supports +5V operation, while the MAX5443/44 support +3V. The BEUA+ designation identifies the specific combination of extended temperature range, B-grade linearity, and 8-pin µMAX packaging within this product line.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the MAX5441AEUA+ (±2 LSB INL) and MAX5441ACUA+/BCUA+ (commercial temperature ranges). Verify pin compatibility and thermal specifications when substituting.
