MAX5155BCPE

The MAX5155BCPE from Analog Devices (formerly Maxim Integrated) is a low-power, dual, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a serial interface. It is designed for single-supply operation, requiring a voltage between 2.7V and 3.6V, making it suitable for various applications.

This DAC features a Rail-to-Rail output swing and an internal gain of +2V/V, maximizing the dynamic range. The 3-wire serial interface is compatible with SPI, QSPI, and Microwire standards. Each DAC has a double-buffered input, allowing independent or simultaneous updates. Key specifications include a 12-bit resolution, a typical settling time of 15µs, and low quiescent current consumption of 500µA during normal operation and 2µA in shutdown mode.

The device is available in a space-saving 16-pin PDIP package and is through-hole mounted. It includes features such as a separate reference voltage input for each DAC and an active-low clear input that resets all registers and DACs to zero. The MAX5155BCPE is suitable for applications like industrial process control, remote industrial controls, digital offset and gain adjustment, and microprocessor-controlled systems.

Applications include industrial process control, remote industrial controls, digital offset and gain adjustment, and microprocessor-controlled systems. It is also used in motion control and automatic test equipment (ATE).
