MAX530BCAG+T

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MAX530BCAG+T is a low-power, 12-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from single +5V or dual ±5V supplies with an operating current of 250µA at +5V and 40µA in shutdown mode. The device features a laser-trimmed internal 2.048V reference and a buffered output amplifier. It utilizes double-buffered parallel logic inputs compatible with 4-bit, 8-bit, and 16-bit microprocessors. The component provides four-quadrant multiplication capability without external components and includes power-on reset functionality. It is housed in a 24-pin SSOP package.
