10-Bit Voltage-Output DAC
in 8-Pin µMAX
General Description
The MAX5304 combines a low-power, voltage-output,
10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a precision
output amplifier in an 8-pin µMAX package. It operates
from a single +5V supply, drawing less than 280µA of
supply current.
The output amplifier’s inverting input is available to the
user, allowing specific gain configurations, remote
sensing, and high output-current capability. This makes
the MAX5304 ideal for a wide range of applications,
including industrial process control. Other features
include a software shutdown and power-on reset.
The serial interface is SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™
compatible. The DAC has a double-buffered input,
organized as an input register followed by a DAC regis-
ter. A 16-bit serial word loads data into the input regis-
ter. The DAC register can be updated independently or
simultaneously with the input register. All logic inputs
are TTL/CMOS-logic compatible and buffered with
Schmitt triggers to allow direct interfacing to optocou-
plers.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
