INL and DNL — the accuracy that matters
Integral nonlinearity is ±0.5 LSB max, which is essentially 12-bit accurate across all codes — no missing codes in the transfer function. Differential nonlinearity is ±2 LSB max, meaning the step size between adjacent codes can vary by up to two LSBs. For applications that need monotonicity (every increase in digital code produces a non-decreasing analog output), the DNL spec is the one to watch; a ±2 LSB max DNL guarantees monotonic behavior over temperature, which is what you need for closed-loop valve or position control where a non-monotonic step could cause oscillation.
Lifecycle and compliance — no last-time-buy risk
The MAX5715AAUD+T carries an active product status. It is fully RoHS3 compliant, which means no exemption paperwork for EU or UKCA markets — the standard green-bill-of-materials check box.
