MAX552ACUB+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX552ACUB+T is a 12-bit, current-output, multiplying digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from a single +3V power supply (range +2.7V to +3.6V). The device features a 12.5MHz 3-wire serial interface compatible with SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE standards. It includes an internal power-on-reset circuit and an asynchronous clear input for the µMAX package. Key electrical parameters include a typical supply current of 0.4µA, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1/2 LSB, differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1/2 LSB, and a settling time of 1µs. The component is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Supports unipolar or bipolar output operation using a single power supply
• Features double-buffered interface logic with separate input and DAC registers
• Includes Schmitt-trigger digital inputs for direct optocoupler interface compatibility
• Provides asynchronous clear input to reset DAC output to zero

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Automatic Calibration
• Gain Adjustment
• Transducer Drivers
• Process-Control I/O Boards
• Digitally Controlled Filters

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability for the Maxim Integrated brand. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the datasheet. Check for any specific handling requirements associated with the µMAX package during assembly.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, 12-bit multiplying DAC is required for single-supply applications. The MAX552 variant is specifically designed for +3V systems, distinguishing it from the MAX551 which supports +5V. Consider the 10-pin µMAX package if board space is limited and an asynchronous clear function is needed. Verify that the serial interface timing meets the system's clock requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MAX552ACUB+T belongs to the MAX551/MAX552 family of serial multiplying DACs. This series offers high linearity and low power consumption in compact packages. The 'C' suffix indicates a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, while the 'E' suffix denotes an extended range. The 'U' suffix specifies the 10-pin µMAX package format.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include MAX552AEUB+T for extended temperature ranges. Other variants like MAX552BCUB+T offer different linearity specifications. Cross-family replacements require verification of pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment.
