MAX5480AEEE+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5480AEEE+T is an 8-bit CMOS digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated, housed in a 16-pin QSOP package. It features a parallel interface with on-chip input latches for direct microprocessor connection. The device operates on a single +5V supply and supports both voltage-output and current-output modes. Electrical specifications include ±1/2LSB relative accuracy, ±1LSB differential nonlinearity, and a maximum settling time of 500ns to 1/2LSB. Power consumption is less than 500µW with a maximum supply current of 100µA. The component guarantees monotonicity over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Supports both voltage-output and current-output operation modes
• On-chip input latches simplify microprocessor interface cycles
• Guaranteed monotonic performance across the entire operating temperature range

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Digitally adjusted power supplies
• Programmable gain amplifiers
• Automatic test equipment
• Portable battery-powered instruments
• VCO frequency control circuits

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'EEE' corresponds to the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and the '+T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor certificates before finalizing procurement orders.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit resolution with parallel interface is required for low-power applications. Ensure the system design accommodates the single +5V supply requirement and the specific linearity constraints of ±1/2LSB relative accuracy. Consider the QSOP-16 footprint compatibility if replacing legacy SO-8 designs.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5480 series of 8-bit DACs manufactured by Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. The series includes variants with different temperature ratings and packaging options. The MAX5480A specifically denotes the grade guaranteed for the extended industrial temperature range, distinguishing it from commercial grades.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the MAX5480BEEE+T, which shares the same package and interface but offers a commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). Verify pinout and electrical characteristics match before substitution.
