MAX5156ACEE+ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX5156ACEE+ is a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, designed for data acquisition applications requiring dual voltage output channels. This surface-mount component operates with 5V analog and digital supply voltages and features an SPI data interface with external reference capability. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MAX5156ACEE+ are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitution criteria are defined by the following key parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent devices:

• 12-bit resolution with dual D/A converter channels
• Voltage-buffered output configuration
• SPI serial data interface
• 5V analog and digital supply voltage requirements
• 15µs typical settling time
• ±0.5 LSB maximum INL and ±1 LSB maximum DNL specifications
• R-2R converter architecture
• 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range
• 16-SSOP surface-mount package (0.154" width, 3.90mm)
• ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The MAX5154ACEE+ meets all these electrical and mechanical requirements and is classified as a parametric equivalent. Both parts share identical functional specifications, package dimensions, and compliance certifications, making them interchangeable in applications where these parameters define the design requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MAX5156ACEE+ and MAX5154ACEE+ are active production components with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements rather than technical performance differences. The MAX5154ACEE+ currently maintains higher inventory levels (2100 pcs) compared to the MAX5156ACEE+ (663 pcs), making it a viable alternative when supply constraints exist. Both parts carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8542.39.0001) classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory and export compliance status. No design modifications or circuit re-qualification are required when substituting between these parts, as all electrical characteristics, package dimensions, and thermal specifications remain identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
