General Description

The MAX501/MAX502 are 12-bit, 4-quadrant, voltage-output, multiplying digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with an output amplifier. Thin-film resistors, laser trimmed at the wafer level, maintain accuracy over the full operating temperature range.

Features

♦ 12Bit Voltage Output DAC

♦ +-10V and 5mA Output Drive

♦ monotonic Over Temperature

♦ Four range-Scalling Resistors

♦ 8+4 (MAX501) and 12-Bit (MAX502) Interface

♦ 24-Pin DIP and Wide SO Packages

Applications

   Digital Attenuators

   Programmable-Gain Amplifiers

   Servo Controls

   Digital to 4mA-to-20ma Converters

   Automatic Test Equipment

   Programmable Power Supplies
