It settles to within 1 LSB in 6 µs typical, which suits control-loop set-point updates and waveform generation at audio-range frequencies where the update rate stays below roughly 160 kHz. The R-2R resistor-ladder architecture delivers monotonic performance without the glitch energy of a segmented design, and the integrated output buffer drives the load directly without an external op-amp. ## Supply rails and linearity budget Both the analog and digital supply rails are tied to a single 5 V supply, so the output swing is limited to the 0–5 V range minus the buffer's headroom — about 0.1 V from each rail at light load. Integral non-linearity is ±1.5 LSB maximum, and differential non-linearity is ±1 LSB maximum, guaranteeing monotonicity over the full 0–70 °C commercial temperature range. An external voltage reference sets the full-scale output, so the absolute accuracy tracks the reference's initial tolerance and drift rather than an internal bandgap. ## Package and board integration The tube packaging is the standard delivery format for this part; the SOIC-8 body is compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow profiles per JEDEC MSL-1 (moisture sensitivity level not explicitly stated, but the commercial temperature grade and plastic package imply no special bake required for typical floor life). It is ROHS3 compliant, meeting the exemption-free restriction levels for lead, mercury, and the other five substances under EU Directive 2011/65/EU.","metaTitle":"MAX517BCSA+ Analog Devices 8-Bit DAC, I²C, 8-SOIC","metaDescription":"MAX517BCSA+ 8-bit voltage-output DAC from Analog Devices.
