2-Wire Serial 8-Bit DACs With Rail-to-Rail Outputs

The MAX517 MAX518 MAX519 are 8-bit voltage output digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with a simple 2-wire serial Interface that allows Communication between multiple devices. They operate from a single 5V supply and their internal precision Buffers allow the DAC outputs to swing Rail-to-Rail
The MAX517 is a single DAC and the MAX518 MAX519 are dual DACs The MAX518 uses the supply voltage as the reference for both DACs The MAX517 has a reference input for its single DAC and each of the MAX519 's two DACs has its own reference input.
The MAX517 MAX518 MAX519 feature a serial Interface and internal software protocol, allowing Communication at data rates up to 400kbps. The Interface combined with the double-buffered input configuration, allows the DAC Registers of the dual 4d1 devices to be updated individually or simultaneously. In addition, the devices CAN be put into a low-power shutdown mode that reduces supply current to 4A. Power-on reset ensures the DAC outputs are at 0V when power is initially applied.
The MAX517 MAX518 are available in space-saving 8-pin DIP and SO packages. The MAX519 comes in 16-pin DIP and SO packages.
