Maxim MAX5541ESA, MAX5541CSA Datasheet

General Description

The MAX5541 serial-input, voltage-output, 16-bit
monotonic digital-to-analog converter (DAC) operates
from a single +5V supply. The DAC output is
unbuffered, resulting in low 0.3mA supply current and
low 1LSB offset error. The DAC output range is 0V to
V

RE

F

. The DAC latch accepts a 16-bit serial word. A
power-on reset circuit clears the DAC output to 0V
(unipolar mode) when power is initially applied.

The 10MHz 3-wire serial interface is SPI™/QSPI™/
MICROWIRE™ compatible and interfaces directly with
optocouplers for applications requiring isolation. The
MAX5541 is available in an 8-pin SO package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 3: Min/Max ranges guaranteed by gain-error test. Operation outside min/max limits will result in degraded performance.
Note 4: Reference input resistance is code dependent, minimum at 8555 hex.
Note 5: Slew-rate value is measured from 0% to 63%.
