General Description
The MAX5105/MAX5106 nonvolatile, quad, 8-bit digital-
to-analog converters (DACs) operate from a single
+2.7V to +5.5V supply. An internal EEPROM stores the
DAC states even after power is removed. Data from
these nonvolatile registers automatically initialize the
DAC outputs and operating states during power-up.
Precision internal buffers swing Rail-to-Rail
®
, and the
reference input range includes both ground and the
positive rail.
The MAX5105/MAX5106 feature a software-controlled
10µA shutdown mode and a mute state that drives the
DAC outputs to their respective REFL_ voltages. The
MAX5105 includes an asynchronous MUTE input, as
well as a RDY/BSY output that indicates the status of
the nonvolatile memory.
The MAX5105 is available in a 20-pin QSOP and 20-pin
wide SO packages, and the MAX5106 is available in a
16-pin QSOP package.
