Parts Questions

Hi !

Is it possible to use the MAX5250 D/A from Maxim instead of the MAX525 ?

I ordered free samples from Maxim.  ;D

The only difference between the MAX5250 and 525 is that the MAX5250 is a 10 Bit converter.

It is much cheaper than the 525  :wink:

Iam working on a triac circuit,… ;D

By the way, i finished my first SID station with complete CS last week.  ;D

GDay Waggy,

I’ve looked at the MAX5250, it is more widely available than the 525, half the price, and completely compatible, it just ignores the 2 bits that it can’t convert, so we wouldn’t even have to change the existing code (not that it would be hard anyway).

Use the search mate :slight_smile: I couldn’t remember what my findings were so I looked it up for you :wink:
