Product details

8-bit SPI DAC in a SOT-23-6 — what it is and where it fits

The Maxim Integrated MAX5385EUT+T is an 8-bit, single-channel, voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a SPI serial interface. It integrates the reference and output buffer on-chip, so the BOM stays minimal — just the DAC and a few bypass caps. The current-steering architecture delivers a buffered voltage output that settles in 20 µs (typ), fast enough for closed-loop trim adjustments, set-point control in power supplies, or sensor calibration in industrial instruments. The SOT-23-6 package fits on tight PCBs where board area is at a premium, and the -40°C to 85°C range covers most industrial and telecom enclosures without a heat sink.

Supply, interface, and output — what the ratings mean for the BOM

The analog and digital supplies share the same 2.7 V to 5.5 V range. The SPI interface runs at standard logic levels matching the supply.

Sourcing and lifecycle — active, no LTB concern

The MAX5385EUT+T carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. For a BOM line that needs a compact, low-pin-count DAC, this part is a safe choice for both prototyping and production — no looming obsolescence to manage.

Frequently asked questions

Is MAX5385EUT+T a direct replacement for MAX5385EUT?

The MAX5385EUT+T is the tape-and-reel variant of the base MAX5385EUT. Electrically identical — same 8-bit DAC core, same SPI interface, same SOT-23-6 package. The +T suffix indicates reel packaging; the die and performance are unchanged.

How does MAX5385EUT+T compare to other 8-bit SPI DACs?

The MAX5385EUT+T competes with other single-channel 8-bit SPI DACs in SOT-23-6, such as the Microchip MCP4901 or the Analog Devices AD5300. The key differentiator here is the integrated output buffer and internal reference, which saves two external components versus parts that require an external reference or separate output amplifier. The 20 µs settling time is typical for this class; if you need faster updates, look at the MAX5380 family with a 5 µs settling time, but that part uses a different package.
