MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX538BCSA 12-bit Voltage DAC

The MAX538BCSA is a low-power, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for single +5V supply operation. It features a buffered voltage output with an internally trimmed, high-accuracy R-2R ladder network, offering guaranteed monotonicity and linearity over temperature. The device supports unipolar and bipolar configurations, with flexible output ranges up to Vpop, Vpp, or 2.6V. With a serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI, and Microwire standards, it is ideal for battery-powered instrumentation, gain adjustments, remote controls, and machine automation where precision and low power consumption are essential.
