The MAX5215/MAX5217 are pin-compatible 14-bit and 16-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The MAX5215/MAX5217 are single-channel, low-powered, buffered voltage-output DACs. The devices use a precision external reference applied through the high resistance input for rail-to-rail operation and low system power consumption. The MAX5215/MAX5217 accept a wide 2.7V to 5.5V supply voltage range. Power consumption is extremely low to accommodate most low-power and low-voltage applications.

The MAX5215/MAX5217 have an I²C-compatible, 2-wire serial interface that operates at clock rates up to 400kHz. On power-up, the MAX5215/MAX5217 reset the DAC output to zero, providing additional safety for applications that drive valves or other transducers that need to be off on power-up. The DAC output is buffered resulting in a low supply current of 80µA (max) and a low offset error of ±0.25mV. An asynchronous active-low input, AUX, is provided. This input can be programmed to support clear or load DAC operations, independent of the serial interface. The MAX5215/MAX5217 are available in an ultra-small (3mm x 5mm), 8-pin µMAX^® package and are specified over the -40°C to +105°C extended industrial temperature range.

Product Details

The MAX5217 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the MAX5217, 16-bit, single-channel, low-power, buffered voltage-output DAC. The IC comes in an 8-pin µMAX® package. The EV kit provides controls to change the DAC output and power operations.

The DAC IC is controlled by an on-board MAXQ® microcontroller that provides an I²C interface. The EV kit features Windows XP®-, Windows Vista®-, and Windows® 7-compatible software that provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for exercising the features of the device.

The EV kit comes with the MAX5217GUA+ (16-bit, ±4 LSB INL (max)) installed. Contact the factory for samples of the pin-compatible MAX5215GUA+ (14-bit, ±1 LSB INL (max)) and MAX5217BGUA+ (16-bit, ±8 LSB INL (max)) versions.
