Digital to Analog Converters

MAX532ACPE Description

The MAX532ACPE is a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, featuring two D/A converters in a single package. This IC is housed in a through-hole 16DIP package, making it suitable for applications requiring robust and reliable mounting. The MAX532ACPE operates within a supply voltage range of ±11.4V to ±16.5V and is specified for an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. It utilizes an external reference and does not feature differential output. The device communicates via the SPI data interface and offers a settling time of 2.5µs (typical). With an INL/DNL performance of ±0.5 LSB (max) and ±1 LSB (max), the MAX532ACPE ensures high accuracy and linearity in its analog output. Despite being marked as obsolete, it remains unaffected by REACH regulations and is classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8542.39.0001.
