Quad, 12-Bit, Low-Power, 2-Wire, Serial
Voltage-Output DAC
General Description
The MAX5842 is a quad, 12-bit voltage-output, digital-
to-analog converter (DAC) with an I
2
C
™
-compatible,
2-wire interface that operates at clock rates up to
400kHz. The device operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V
supply and draws only 230µA at V
DD
= 3.6V. A power-
down mode decreases current consumption to less
than 1µA. The MAX5842 features three software-selec-
table power-down output impedances: 100kΩ, 1kΩ,
and high impedance. Other features include internal
precision Rail-to-Rail
®
output buffers and a power-on
reset (POR) circuit that powers up the DAC in the
100kΩ power-down mode.
The MAX5842 features a double-buffered I
2
C-compati-
ble serial interface that allows multiple devices to share
a single bus. All logic inputs are CMOS-logic compati-
ble and buffered with Schmitt triggers, allowing direct
interfacing to optocoupled and transformer-isolated
interfaces. The MAX5842 minimizes digital noise
feedthrough by disconnecting the clock (SCL) signal
from the rest of the device when an address mismatch
is detected.
The MAX5842 is specified over the extended tempera-
ture range of -40°C to +85°C and is available in a
miniature 10-pin µMAX package. Refer to the MAX5841
data sheet for the 10-bit version.

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.
