MAX525BCAP

The MAX525BCAP is a low-power, quad 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with integrated precision output amplifiers, designed for industrial process control applications. It offers four voltage-output DACs, each with a configurable output amplifier. The device supports a single +5V supply operation and features a low supply current of 0.85mA in normal operation and 10µA in shutdown mode.

The MAX525BCAP utilizes an SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE compatible serial interface, allowing for 16-bit serial word loading into double-buffered input and DAC registers. This enables independent or simultaneous updates of the DAC registers through a 3-wire serial interface. All logic inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible. The device includes features such as software and hardware shutdown, an active-low reset that clears all registers and DACs to zero, and a user-programmable logic output.

Packaged in a space-saving 20-pin SSOP, the MAX525BCAP is suitable for applications requiring digital offset and gain adjustment, motion control, and microprocessor-controlled systems. Its features like power-on reset and the capability to recall the last state prior to shutdown enhance its usability in various embedded systems.

Key specifications include a 12-bit resolution, ±1 LSB Integral Non-Linearity (INL), and a settling time of 12µs (typical). The operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C. The mounting type is surface mount.
