Low-Power, Dual, 10-Bit, Voltage-Output DACs with Serial Interface MAX5158/MAX5159
_______________General Description
The MAX5158/MAX5159 low-power, serial, voltageoutput, dual, 10-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) consume only 500µA from a single +5V (MAX5158) or +3V (MAX5159) supply. These devices feature Rail-toRail® output swing and are available in a space-saving 16-pin QSOP package. To maximize dynamic range, the DAC output amplifiers are configured with an internal gain of +2V/V. The 3-wire serial interface is SPI™/QSPI™ and Microwire™ compatible. Each DAC has a doublebuffered input organized as an input register followed by a DAC register, which allows the input and DAC registers to be updated independently or simultaneously with a 16-bit serial word.
