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.

The MAX5541 serial-input, voltage-output, 16-bit monotonic digital-to-analog converter (DAC) operates from a single +5V supply. The DAC output is unbuffered, resulting in low 0.3mA supply current and low 1LSB offset error. The MAX5541 output range is 0V to VREF. The DAC latch accepts a 16-bit serial word. A power-on reset circuit clears the DAC output to 0V (unipolar mode) when power is initially applied.

The 10MHz 3-wire serial interface is SPI™/QSPI™/ MICROWIRE™ compatible and interfaces directly with optocouplers for applications requiring isolation. The MAX5541 is available in an 8-pin SO package.
