Quad, Serial 8-Bit DACs
with Rail-to-Rail Outputs
_______________General Description
The MAX509/MAX510 are quad, serial-input, 8-bit volt-
age-output digital-to-analog converters (DACs). They
operate with a single +5V supply or dual ±5V supplies.
Internal, precision buffers swing rail-to-rail. The refer-
ence input range includes both supply rails.
The MAX509 has four separate reference inputs, allow-
ing each DAC's full-scale range to be set independently.
20-pin DIP, SSOP, and SO packages are available. The
MAX510 is identical to the MAX509 except it has two ref-
erence inputs, each shared by two DACs. The MAX510
is housed in space-saving 16-pin DIP and SO packages.
The serial interface is double-buffered: A 12-bit input
shift register is followed by four 8-bit buffer registers and
four 8-bit DAC registers. A 12-bit serial word is used to
load data into each register. Both input and DAC regis-
ters can be updated independently or simultaneously
with single software commands. Two additional asyn-
chronous control pins provide simultaneous updating
(LDAC) or clearing (CLR) of input and DAC registers.
The interface is compatible with MICROWIRE
TM
and
SPI/QSPI
TM
. All digital inputs and outputs are
TTL/CMOS compatible. A buffered data output provides
for readback or daisy-chaining of serial devices.

Note:
The outputs may be shorted to VDD, VSS, or AGND if the package power dissipation is not exceeded. Typical short-circuit current
to AGND is 50mA. Do not bias AGND more than +1V above DGND, or more than 2.5V below DGND.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
