+1.8V to +5.5V, Ultra-Low-Power, 8-Bit,
Voltage-Output DACs
General Description
Features
The MAX5510/MAX5511 are single, 8-bit, ultra-low-
power, voltage-output, digital-to-analog converters
(DACs) offering rail-to-rail buffered voltage outputs. The
DACs operate from a 1.8V to 5.5V supply and consume
less than 6µA, making them desirable for low-power
and low-voltage applications. A shutdown mode
reduces overall current, including the reference input
current, to just 0.18µA. The MAX5510/MAX5511 use a
3-wire serial interface that is compatible with SPI™,
QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™.
♦ Single +1.8V to +5.5V Supply
♦ Ultra-Low 6µA Supply Current
♦ Shutdown Mode Reduces Supply Current to
0.18µA (max)
♦ Small 4mm x 4mm x 0.8mm Thin QFN Package
♦ Flexible Force-Sense-Configured Rail-to-Rail
Output Buffers
At power-up, the MAX5510/MAX5511 outputs are dri-
ven to zero scale, providing additional safety for appli-
cations that drive valves or for other transducers that
must be off during power-up. The zero-scale outputs
enable glitch-free power-up.
♦ Internal Reference Sources 8mA of Current
(MAX5511)
♦ Fast 16MHz 3-Wire SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-
Compatible Serial Interface
The MAX5510 accepts an external reference input. The
MAX5511 contains an internal reference and provides
an external reference output. Both devices have force-
sense-configured output buffers.
♦ TTL- and CMOS-Compatible Digital Inputs
with Hysteresis
♦ Glitch-Free Outputs During Power-Up
The MAX5510/MAX5511 are available in a 4mm x 4mm
x 0.8mm, 12-pin, thin QFN package and are guaranteed
over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
