General Description

The MAX536/MAX537 combine four 12-bit, voltage-output digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and four precision output amplifiers in a space-saving 16-pin package. Offset, gain, and linearity are factory calibrated to provide the MAX536’s ±1LSB total unadjusted error. The MAX537 operates with ±5V supplies, while the MAX536 uses -5V and +12V to +15V supplies.
