MAX5158CEE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX5158CEE is a 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, designed for data acquisition applications requiring dual-channel voltage output conversion. This component features SPI interface control, external reference capability, and R-2R architecture for precision analog signal generation.

The MAX5158CEE is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support long-term product availability for legacy systems and new designs requiring compatible functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX5158CEE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resolution & Channel Count: 10-bit resolution with 2 D/A converters
• Interface Protocol: SPI digital control interface
• Output Configuration: Buffered voltage output with external reference
• Electrical Specifications: ±1 LSB INL/DNL, 8µs settling time, R-2R architecture
• Supply Voltage: 5V analog and digital supply rails
• Package Compatibility: 16-SSOP surface mount package
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C ~ 70°C

The MAX5158CEE+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, package footprint, and functional architecture. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX5158CEE+ is the direct functional equivalent of the MAX5158CEE. Both components share identical electrical performance, resolution, interface protocol, and package specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For New Designs: The MAX5158CEE+ is the appropriate choice. It maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The MAX5158CEE remains functionally compatible for existing applications. However, transition to MAX5158CEE+ is recommended to eliminate RoHS non-compliance and secure supply chain continuity as the original part approaches end-of-life.

Compliance Considerations: Applications subject to RoHS3 regulations or requiring documented environmental compliance must use MAX5158CEE+. The MAX5158CEE does not meet these requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX5158CEE+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX5158CEE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MAX5158CEE+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the MAX5158CEE. Pin configuration, package footprint, and functional specifications are equivalent. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between MAX5158CEE and MAX5158CEE+?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. MAX5158CEE is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. MAX5158CEE+ is active production and ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and functional specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both parts use the 16-SSOP (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface mount package with identical pinout and mechanical dimensions.

Q: Which part should be selected for new production designs?

A: MAX5158CEE+ should be selected for all new designs. It provides active manufacturer support, current availability, and regulatory compliance.

Q: Is the settling time specification identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both the MAX5158CEE and MAX5158CEE+ specify 8µs typical settling time and identical INL/DNL performance of ±1 LSB maximum.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. The 16-SSOP package footprint is identical, and all electrical specifications match. PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.
