General Description
The MAX5182 is a dual, 10-bit, alternate-phase-update,
current-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
designed for superior performance in systems requiring
analog signal reconstruction with low distortion and
low-power operation. The MAX5185 provides equal
specifications with on-chip output resistors for voltage-
output operation. Both devices are designed for 10pV-s
glitch operation, to reduce distortion and minimize
unwanted spurious signal components at the output. An
on-board +1.2V bandgap circuit provides a well-regu-
lated, low-noise reference that can be disabled for
external reference operation.
The MAX5182/MAX5185 are designed to provide a high
level of signal integrity for the least amount of power dis-
sipation. Both DACs operate from a +2.7V to +3.3V sin-
gle supply. Additionally, these DACs have three modes
of operation: normal, low-power standby, and complete
shutdown. A full shutdown provides the lowest possible
power dissipation with a maximum shutdown current of
1µA. Fast wake-up time (0.5µs) from standby mode to
full DAC operation allows for power conservation by
activating the DACs only when required.
The MAX5182/MAX5185 are available in a 28-pin QSOP
package and are specified for the extended (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range. For pin-compatible 8-bit
versions, refer to the MAX5188/MAX5191 data sheet.
