6-bit resolution, I²C bus, SOT-23-5 footprint
The MAX5361LEUK+T is a 6-bit, single-channel, voltage-buffered DAC from Analog Devices. It uses a current-steering architecture and integrates an internal reference, so the only external components needed are a 5V supply and decoupling caps. Data transfer is over I²C, which keeps the pin count to five in the SOT-23-5 package – a deliberate trade-off: the 20 µs typical settling time limits the update rate, but the two-wire bus saves board space and simplifies isolation.
±1 LSB INL/DNL – trim-grade linearity
Integral and differential non-linearity are both specified at ±1 LSB maximum. For a 6-bit DAC with 64 output steps, that means no missing codes and a monotonic transfer function across the full 0-to-5V range. The 20 µs typical settling time to ±0.5 LSB is the figure that matters for closed-loop bias or calibration loops – above 50 kHz updates, the output won't have settled before the next I²C write arrives.
5V single-supply, industrial temperature range
Analog and digital supplies are both 5V, simplifying a single-rail design.
