General Description
The MAX5820 is a dual, 8-bit voltage-output, digital-to-
analog converter (DAC) with an I
2
C-compatible,
2-wire interface that operates at clock rates up to 400kHz.
The device operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply
(115µA at V
DD
= 3.6V). A power-down mode decreases
current consumption to less than 1µA. The MAX5820 fea-
tures three software-selectable power-down output
impedances: 100kΩ, 1kΩ, and high impedance. Other
features include internal precision rail-to-rail output
buffers and a power-on reset (POR) circuit that powers up
the DAC in the 100kΩ power-down mode.
The MAX5820 features a double-buffered I
2
C-compatible
serial interface that allows multiple devices to share a sin-
gle bus. All logic inputs are CMOS-logic compatible and
buffered with Schmitt triggers, allowing direct interfacing
to optocoupled and transformer-isolated interfaces. The
MAX5820 minimizes digital noise feedthrough by discon-
necting the clock (SCL) signal from the rest of the device
when an address mismatch is detected.
The MAX5820 is specified over the extended (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range and is available in a small
8-pin µMAX
®
package. Refer to the MAX5822 data
sheet for the 12-bit version and to the MAX5821 data
sheet for a 10-bit version.

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
