General Description
The MAX5547 dual, 10-bit, dual range, digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) sinks up to 3.6mA of current, making it
ideal for laser-driver-control applications. Parallel the
MAX5547 outputs to sink higher current (up to 7.2mA
max). Operating from a single +2.7V to +5.25V
supply, the MAX5547 typically consumes 1mA
(internal reference).
The MAX5547 operates from a precision +2.5V internal
4ppm/°C reference or an external reference in the
+2.45V to +2.55V range. The maximum full-scale current-sink range is software programmable to 3.6mA or
1.2mA for each DAC. A 10MHz SPI™-compatible serial
interface configures the device.
The MAX5547 is available in a 3mm x 3mm x 0.8mm 8pin TDFN package and is specified over the -40°C to
+85°C extended temperature range.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
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 1: Devices are 100% production tested at TA= +25°C. Limits over temperature are guaranteed by design.
Note 2: INL linearity is from code 48 to code 1023.
Note 3: Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.
Note 4: The DACs continue to operate at currents lower than 50µA on the 1.2mA range and 150µA on the 3.6mA range. However,
performance is not guaranteed at these low currents. A code of all zeros has a nominal output current of 0µA.
Note 5: Compliance voltage range is defined as the range where the output current is -2 LSB of its value at V
OUT
= +1V.
Note 6: Settling time is measured from 0.25 x full scale to 0.75 x full scale.
Note 7: The device draws higher supply current when the digital inputs are driven with voltages between (V
DD
- 0.5V) and (GND +
0.5V). See Supply Current vs. Digital Input Voltage in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
