MAX5510ETC+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5510ETC+ is a single-channel, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) featuring ultra-low power consumption and rail-to-rail buffered voltage outputs. It operates from a supply voltage ranging from +1.8V to +5.5V with a typical supply current of 6µA. The device utilizes a 3-wire serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols, supporting clock frequencies up to 16MHz. Key electrical specifications include an integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±0.25 LSB and a differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±0.2 LSB. The output settles within 660µs, and the shutdown mode reduces current consumption to 0.18µA. It is housed in a 12-pin Thin QFN package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Ultra-low power operation with standard supply current under 6µA and deep shutdown mode reducing consumption to 0.18µA.
• Flexible force-sense-configured rail-to-rail output buffers allowing external gain setting.
• Glitch-free power-up sequence that drives outputs to zero scale upon initialization.
• TTL- and CMOS-compatible digital inputs with hysteresis for robust noise immunity.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Portable battery-powered devices
• Instrumentation systems
• Automatic trimming and calibration in factory or field environments
• Programmable voltage and current sources
• Chemical sensor cell bias for gas monitors

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or direct channels. Confirm the presence of the AACO top mark and T1244-4 package code on the physical unit. Ensure the datasheet revision matches the manufacturing date code to validate technical specifications and compliance status.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select the MAX5510ETC+ when an external reference voltage source is required for the DAC system. This variant differs from the MAX5511 by lacking an internal reference, necessitating an external REFIN connection. It is suitable for applications requiring specific reference voltages not provided by integrated options.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX5510 belongs to the Maxim Integrated family of low-power DACs, sharing architectural similarities with the MAX5520 (10-bit) and MAX5530 (12-bit). These devices offer comparable pinouts and interface protocols but vary in resolution and linearity performance metrics.
