16-bit precision DAC in a compact 8-pin MSOP
The Maxim MAX5443AEUA+ is a 16-bit, single-channel, voltage-output digital-to-analog converter built on an R-2R ladder architecture. It delivers a settling time of 1µs typical.
What the 1µs settling and ±0.5 LSB mean for your BOM
A 1µs typical settling time to 16-bit accuracy means this DAC can update at roughly 1 MSPS in a single-shot or burst mode, assuming the SPI clock keeps up.
Package and footprint — fits tight analog front-ends
Active lifecycle — no obsolescence clock ticking
ROHS3 compliant. For a procurement decision, this means no last-time-buy pressure and no forced redesign window. If you are reviewing a BOM for long-life industrial or instrumentation equipment, this DAC does not introduce supply-chain risk from a pending discontinuation.
