MAX5812LEUT#TG16

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX5812LEUT#TG16 is a single-channel, 12-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features an I2C-compatible two-wire serial interface supporting clock rates up to 400kHz. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V and includes an internal precision rail-to-rail output buffer amplifier. Key electrical characteristics include a typical supply current of 100µA at 3.6V and a low-power power-down mode consuming less than 1µA. The component utilizes a miniature six-pin SOT-23 package for surface-mount installation.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates a precision rail-to-rail output buffer amplifier for direct signal driving capabilities.
• Provides three software-selectable power-down output impedances including high impedance state.
• Includes a power-on reset circuit that initializes the DAC output to zero upon activation.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Digital gain and offset adjustments in signal processing chains
• Programmable voltage and current sources for test equipment
• VCO and varactor diode control circuits
• Battery-operated portable instrumentation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix #TG16 against official manufacturer documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications and lot traceability requirements. Ensure compatibility with RoHS directives if required by the target assembly process. Confirm availability status as legacy components may have limited production runs or obsolescence notices.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-pin-count, single-channel DAC with I2C connectivity is required. The 12-bit resolution balances accuracy with speed for moderate-performance applications. Consider the 2.7V to 5.5V operating range for systems with varying supply voltages. Evaluate the ultra-low power consumption benefits for battery-powered designs compared to higher-current alternatives.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX581x family of low-power serial DACs. It shares functional similarities with the MAX5811 but offers higher 12-bit resolution. The device is designed to replace discrete resistor-string DACs in space-constrained designs. It complements Maxim's portfolio of mixed-signal converters for industrial and consumer electronics.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed pin-compatible substitutes include the MAX5811 for 10-bit applications. Verify electrical parameter overlaps before substitution. Check for updated manufacturing sources under Analog Devices post-acquisition branding.
