The MAX5312EAE+ is a ±10V, 12bit, serial, voltage output digital to analogue converter (DAC) in 16 pin SSOP package. This DAC provides bipolar ±5V to ±10V outputs from ±12V to ±15V power supply voltages, or a unipolar 5V to 10V output from a single 12V to 15V power supply voltage. It provides excellent linearity with both integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) and a hardware shutdown which reduces current consumption to 3.5μA. The output goes to midscale at power-up in bipolar mode (0V) and to zero scale at power-up in unipolar mode (0V). A clear input (CLR-complimentary) asynchronously clears the DAC register and sets the output to 0V. The output can be asynchronously updated with the load DAC (LDAC complimentary) input. This device is used in analogue I/O boards, data acquisition systems and automatic test equipment (ATE).
