Description
The MAX5312 12-bit, serial-interface, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) provides bipolar ±5V to ±10V outputs from ±12V to ±15V power-supply voltages, or a unipolar 5V to 10V output from a single 12V to 15V powersupply voltage.
Features
- excellent linearity with both integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) guaranteed to ±1 LSB (max). The device also features a fast 10µs to 0.5 LSB settling time, and a hardwareshutdown feature that reduces current consumption to 3.5µA. The output goes to midscale at power-up in bipolar mode (0V), and to zero scale at power-up in unipolar mode (0V). A clear input (CLR) asynchronously clears the DAC register and sets the output to 0V. The output can be asynchronously updated.
