Product details

Quad 10-bit DAC in a 20-pin SSOP

The Maxim MAX5250BCAP+ packs four 10-bit digital-to-analog converters with voltage-buffered outputs into a 20-SSOP package. Each DAC uses an R-2R ladder architecture and accepts an external voltage reference. The SPI data interface lets you daisy-chain multiple devices or address them individually from a single microcontroller SPI bus. Analog and digital supplies both run from a single 5V rail — no separate AVDD/DVDD sequencing needed.

5V-only supply — what it means for your BOM

Both the analog and digital supply pins require 5V. An external reference sets the full-scale output range.

Linearity and settling

INL and DNL are both specified at ±1 LSB maximum. Typical settling time is 10 µs.

Lifecycle and sourcing

The MAX5250BCAP+ carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is in effect.

Frequently asked questions

Is the MAX5250BCAP+ a direct replacement for MAX5250BCAP?

The MAX5250BCAP+ is the ROHS3-compliant version of the original MAX5250BCAP. Pinout and electrical specifications are identical; the only difference is the lead-free finish. It is a drop-in replacement for designs that require ROHS compliance.

Does MAX5250BCAP+ work with 3.3V logic?

No — the digital supply pin requires 5V. The SPI inputs are not 3.3V-tolerant at the rated 5V VDD. A level shifter or a separate 5V rail for the digital interface is necessary if your controller runs at 3.3V.

What external reference voltage should I use for MAX5250BCAP+?

The external reference voltage sets the DAC full-scale output. It can be any voltage between ground and the 5V analog supply. A precision reference like the MAX6126 or a filtered bandgap reference from your system supply works, depending on the accuracy you need.
