Dual, 8-Bit, 40MHz, Current/Voltage,
Simultaneous-Output DACs
General Description
The MAX5186 contains two 8-bit, simultaneous-update,
current-output digital-to-analog converters (DACs)
designed for superior performance in communications
systems requiring analog signal reconstruction with low
distortion and low-power operation. The MAX5189 pro-
vides equal specifications, with on-chip precision resis-
tors for voltage output operation. The MAX5186/
MAX5189 are designed for a 10pV-s glitch operation to
minimize unwanted spurious signal components at the
output. An on-board 1.2V bandgap circuit provides a
well-regulated, low-noise reference that can be dis-
abled for external reference operation.
The MAX5186/MAX5189 are designed to provide a high
level of signal integrity for the least amount of power dissi-
pation. Both DACs operate from a single supply voltage
of 2.7V to 3.3V. Additionally, these DACs have three
modes of operation: normal, low-power standby, and
complete shutdown, which provides the lowest possible
power dissipation with a 1µA (max) shutdown current. A
fast wake-up time (0.5µs) from standby mode to full DAC
operation allows power conservation by activating the
DACs only when required.
The MAX5186/MAX5189 are packaged in a 28-pin
QSOP and are specified for the extended (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range. For higher resolution, dual
10-bit versions, refer to the MAX5180/MAX5183 data
sheet.

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.
