General Description

The MAX547 contains eight 13-bit, voltage-output digital-to-analog converters (DACs). On-chip precision output amplifiers provide the voltage outputs. The MAX547 operates from a ±5V supply. Bipolar output voltages with up to ±4.5V voltage swing can be achieved with no external components. The MAX547 has four separate reference inputs; each is connected to two DACs, providing different fullscale output voltages for every DAC pair.
