Dual, 10-Bit, Current-Sink Output DAC
MAX547
General Description
Features
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).
o Dual Current-Sink DACs
o 10-Bit Resolution
o Two Software-Programmable Full-Scale Current
Ranges: 3.6mA or 1.2mA
o Parallelable Outputs for Up to 7.2mA (max)
o +2.5V Internal Reference Drifts Only 4ppm/°C
o +2.7V to +5.25V Single-Supply Operation
o INL: 1 LSB
o DNL: 0.75 LSB (Guaranteed Monotonic)
o Low +0.8V Output Compliance
o Ultra-Small, 3mm x 3mm x 0.8mm, 8-Pin TDFN
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 cur-
rent-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 8-
pin TDFN package and is specified over the -40°C to
+85°C extended temperature range.
