MAX538BCPA Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX538BCPA is a low-power, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from Analog Devices, designed for single +5V power supply operation. It offers a buffered voltage output and utilizes an SPI serial data interface for communication. This DAC has a settling time of 25µs (typical) and an integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB maximum.

 

The device operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and requires an external reference. It is available in an 8-pin PDIP package suitable for through-hole mounting. The MAX538BCPA draws a typical supply current of 140µA, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a 12-bit resolution, a nominal supply voltage of 5V (with an operating range of 4.5V to 5.5V), and a typical sample rate of 877 kHz. The output type is buffered voltage, and it is not a differential output. The architecture is R-2R.

 

Applications for this DAC include battery-powered test instruments, digital offset and gain adjustment, and remote industrial controls. Its compact size and low power consumption make it a versatile component for various electronic designs.
