MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX521ACAG octal voltage DAC

The MAX521ACAG+ is an octal, 8-bit voltage output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) packaged in a 24-pin SSOP. It features a simple 2-wire serial interface that supports communication with multiple devices at data rates up to 400 kbps. Operating from a single +5V supply, the device includes rail-to-rail output buffers for reduced system size and component count when driving loads. It supports an input reference range extending across both supply rails and has individual reference inputs for each DAC channel. The MAX521 offers low power shutdown mode, reducing supply current to 4µA, and includes a power-on reset to initialize DAC outputs to 0V. The device is suitable for minimum component analog systems, digital offset and gain adjustments, automatic test equipment, and programmable attenuators. Features include a voltage output slew rate of 1V/µs, total unadjusted error of ±1.5 LSB, zero code error of 18mV, full-scale error of 18mV, output settling time of 6µs with specified load, differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB, and separate reference inputs for each DAC. The MAX521 is designed for applications in signal processing and industrial systems.
