DESCRIPTION
The MAX517/MAX518/MAX519 are 8-bit voltage output digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with a simple 2-wire serial interface that allows communication between multiple devices. They operate from a single 5V supply and their internal precision buffers allow the DAC outputs to swing rail-to-rail. The MAX517 is a single DAC and the MAX518/MAX519 are dual DACs. The interface, combined with the double-buffered input configuration, allows the DAC registers of the dual devices to be updated individually or simultaneously. In addition, the devices can be put into a low-power shutdown mode that reduces supply current to 4µA. Power-on reset ensures the DAC outputs are at 0V when power is initially applied. The MAX517/MAX518 are available in space-saving 8pin DIP and SO packages. The MAX519 comes in 16pin DIP and SO packages. ________________________Applications Minimum Component Analog Systems Digital Offset/Gain Adjustment Industrial Process Control Automatic Test Equipment Programma...
