MAX549A

MAX548A/MAX549A/MAX550A 19-1206; Rev 0; 3/97 +2.5V to +5.5V, Low-Power, Single/Dual, 8-Bit Voltage-Output DACs in µMAX Package _______________General Description The MAX548A/MAX549A/MAX550A serial, 8-bit voltageoutput digital-to-analog converters (DACs) operate from a single +2.5V to +5.5V supply. Their ±1LSB TUE specification is guaranteed over temperature. Operating current (supply current plus reference current) is typically 75µA per DAC with VDD = 2.5V. In shutdown, the DAC is disconnected from the reference, reducing current drain to less than 1µA. The MAX548A/MAX549A allow each DAC to be shut down independently. The 10MHz, 3-wire serial interface is compatible with SPI™/QSPI™ and Microwire™ interface standards. Double-buffered inputs provide flexibility when updating the DACs; the input and DAC registers can be updated individually or simultaneously. The MAX548A is a dual DAC with an asynchronous load input; it uses VDD as the reference input. The MAX549A is a dual D...
