Product details

Temperature grade and deployment scope

Rated for 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range. This limits the part to indoor, temperature-controlled equipment — benchtop instruments, lab gear, office peripherals, and similar environments. It is not specified for industrial or automotive temperature extremes.

Sourcing and lifecycle

The MAX522CPA+ carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. There is no end-of-life notice on record. Sourced through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ.

Frequently asked questions

Does MAX522CPA+ have an internal reference?

No, the MAX522CPA+ requires an external reference voltage. The reference type is External, so the board design must provide a clean reference source for the output full-scale voltage.

Can MAX522CPA+ be used with 3.3V logic?

Yes. The digital supply range is 2.7V to 5.5V, so at 3.3V the SPI inputs are directly compatible with 3.3V logic levels without additional level translation.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to MAX522CPA+?

Within the same family, the MAX522CPA+ is the through-hole PDIP variant. The surface-mount equivalent is the MAX522CSA+ (SOIC-8). Both share the same 8-bit dual DAC core, SPI interface, and supply range, differing only in package and temperature grade (the CSA+ is also 0°C to 70°C).
