Product details

16-bit precision DAC with SPI interface

The MAX5541ESA+: It converts a digital SPI stream into an unbuffered voltage output, settling to within 1 LSB in 1 µs typical. INL is ±4 LSB max, DNL is ±0.5 LSB max — the monotonicity guarantee (DNL < 1 LSB) means every code step produces a positive voltage increment, critical for closed-loop control and precision set-point generation. A single +5 V supply powers both the analog and digital sections, and the external reference input allows the full-scale output range to be set by the system reference, not the DAC's internal bandgap.

Package, temperature grade, and compliance

Housed in an 8-pin SOIC (0.154" width, 3.90 mm body), surface-mount, supplied in a tube.

Sourced through authorized and independent distribution channels.

Frequently asked questions

What is the output type of MAX5541ESA+?

Voltage - Unbuffered. The unbuffered output from the R-2R ladder means the output impedance is code-dependent; a buffer amplifier is recommended when driving low-impedance loads or long traces.

What is the settling time of MAX5541ESA+?

1 µs typical to within 1 LSB for a full-scale step. This sets the maximum update rate at roughly 1 MSPS assuming the SPI clock can deliver 16-bit words within that window.

How can I order MAX5541ESA+ or check stock?

Available to order against RFQ through independent distribution.
