Their ±1LSB TUE specification is guaranteed over temperature. Operating current of MAX550A (supply-current plus reference current) is typically 75µA per DAC with VDD = 2.5V. In shutdown, the DAC is disconnected from the reference, reducing current drain to less than 1µA. The MAX550A allow each DAC to be shut down in-dependently.
The 10MHz, 3-wire serial interface is compatible with SPI™/QSPI™ and Microwire™ interface standards.Double-buffered inputs provide flexibility when updating the DACs; the input and DAC registers can be updated individually or simultaneously.
The MAX548A is a dual DAC with an asynchronous load input; it uses VDD as the reference input. The MAX549A is a dual DAC with an external reference input. The MAX550A is a single DAC with an external reference input and an asynchronous load input.The MAX548A/MAX549A/MAX550A's low power consumption and small µMAX and DIP packages makethese devices ideal for portable and battery-powered applications.
