MAX5717AGSD+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5717AGSD+ is a serial-input, unbuffered 16-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and features a 50MHz SPI-compatible interface. The device provides a typical settling time of 750ns and includes integrated precision bipolar setting resistors with a maximum ratio error of ±0.025%. Key performance metrics include a maximum Integral Nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB and Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) of ±0.5 LSB over the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The output resets to zero-scale on power-up.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and RoHS compliance status. Ensure that any additional characters in the part number do not indicate functional variations or alternative packaging formats before finalizing procurement specifications.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 16-bit resolution with tight linearity specifications. The integrated bipolar resistors simplify design compared to discrete solutions. Verify that the system can accommodate the required external operational amplifier for bipolar output configurations if negative voltages are necessary.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX571x family of high-precision voltage-output DACs. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX5719 but offers 16-bit resolution instead of 20 bits. The series is designed for applications demanding fast settling times and high accuracy in industrial and instrumentation environments.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX5717GSD+ serves as a standard grade replacement within the same package. For higher resolution requirements, the MAX5719AGSD+ is functionally similar but provides 20-bit resolution. Verify pin compatibility and interface timing requirements when substituting.
