Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX507AENG is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Resolution and Converter Count: 12-bit resolution with 1 D/A converter
  • Output Characteristics: Voltage output with buffered configuration
  • Interface and Reference: Parallel data interface with internal reference
  • Electrical Performance: Settling time of 5µs, INL/DNL specifications of ±0.75/±1 LSB
  • Supply Voltage Requirements: Dual supply (±11.4V ~ 15.75V) for analog, single supply (11.4V ~ 15.75V) for digital
  • Package and Mounting: 24-DIP through-hole package with 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch
  • Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C operating specification

The MAX507AENG+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, architecture, and package configuration.
