Maxim MAX504/MAX515 5V Low-Power Voltage-Output Serial 10-Bit DAC Datasheet
The MAX504 and MAX515 are low‑power, 5 V single‑supply, 10‑bit digital‑to‑analog converters (DACs) with serial input. The MAX515 draws only 140 µA while the MAX504 draws 260 µA and offers selectable gain and bipolar operation. Both devices provide buffered voltage output and are trimmed for offset, gain, and linearity.
The document provides absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics for single‑ and dual‑supply operation, pin descriptions, typical operating curves, and package dimensions. It also lists ordering information and application notes such as serial daisy‑chaining and hardware/software compatible upgrades.
