MAX541CEPA+

The MAX541CEPA+ from Maxim Integrated Products is a +5V, serial input, voltage output 16bit digital to analogue converter (DAC) in 8 pin DIP package. The device operates from single +5V supply and provides 16bit performance (±4LSB INL and ±1LSB DNL) over temperature without any adjustments. The unbuffered output of DAC results in low supply current of 0.3mA and low offset error of 1LSB. The DAC output range is 0V to VREF and 16bit serial word is used to load data into DAC latch. The 10MHz, 3-wire serial interface is compatible with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE and it also interfaces directly with optocouplers for applications requiring isolation. A power-on reset circuit clears the DAC output to 0V (unipolar mode) when power is initially applied. Typically used at high resolution offset and gain adjustment, industrial process control, automated test equipments and data acquisition systems.
