Active 12-bit serial DAC — BOM-fit note
The MAX5121AEEE-T: It ships in Bulk packaging, which means it arrives as loose units rather than tape-and-reel — a detail to confirm against your pick-and-place feeder setup if you're running high-volume assembly.
Analog Devices lists this part as RoHS non-compliant. That doesn't block its use in most industrial or test equipment, but if your product must meet EU RoHS for consumer sale, you'll need an exemption or a drop-in replacement. The active lifecycle status means the die and package are still being manufactured — no last-time-buy clock is running, so you can spec it into a new design without worrying about an imminent EOL.
