General Description

The MAX5312 12-bit, serial-interface, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) provides bipolar ±5V to ±10V outputs from ±12V to ±15V power-supply voltages, or a unipolar 5V to 10V output from a single 12V to 15V powersupply voltage.

Features

♦ Unipolar or Bipolar Output-Voltage Ranges

   Unipolar: 0 to (+2 x VREF) (Single or Dual

   Supply)

   Bipolar: (-2 x VREF) to (+2 x VREF) (Dual Supply)

♦ Guaranteed INL ≤ ±1 LSB (max)

♦ Guaranteed Monotonic: DNL ≤ ±1 LSB (max)

♦ 10µs Settling Time to 0.5 LSB

♦ Low 3.5µA Shutdown Current

♦ 10MHz SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-Compatible Serial

   Interface

♦ Power-On Reset Sets DAC Output to 0V

♦ Schmitt Trigger Inputs for Direct

   Optocoupler Interface

♦ Serial-Data Output Allows Daisy Chaining

   of Devices

♦ Small 16-Pin SSOP
