DESCRIPTION
The MAX509/MAX510 are quad, serial-input, 8-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converters (DACs). They operate with a single +5V supply or dual ±5V supplies. Internal, precision buffers swing rail-to-rail. The reference input range includes both supply rails. The MAX509 has four separate reference inputs, allowing each DAC's full-scale range to be set independently. 20-pin DIP, SSOP, and SO packages are available. A 12-bit serial word is used to load data into each register. Both input and DAC registers can be updated independently or simultaneously with single software commands. Two additional asynchronous control pins provide simultaneous updating (LDAC) or clearing (CLR) of input and DAC registers. The interface is compatible with MicrowireTM and SPI/ QSPITM. All digital inputs and outputs are TTL/CMOS compatible. A buffered data output provides for readback or daisy-chaining of serial devices. ____________________________Features o o o o o Single +5V or Dual ±5V Suppl...
