Octal, 13-Bit Voltage-Output DAC
with Parallel Interface
_________________General Description
The MAX547 contains eight 13-bit, voltage-output digital-to-
analog converters (DACs). On-chip precision output ampli-
fiers provide the voltage outputs. The MAX547 operates
from a ±5V supply. Bipolar output voltages with up to ±4.5V
voltage swing can be achieved with no external compo-
nents. The MAX547 has four separate reference inputs;
each is connected to two DACs, providing different full-
scale output voltages for every DAC pair.
The MAX547 features double-buffered interface logic with a
13-bit parallel data bus. Each DAC has an input latch and a
DAC latch. Data in the DAC latch sets the output voltage. The
eight input latches are addressed with three address lines.
Data is loaded to the input latch with a single write instruction.
–—
—–
An asynchronous load (LD_ ) input transfers data from the
–—
—–
input latch to the DAC latch. The four LD_ inputs each control
two DACs, and all DAC latches can be updated simultane-
–—
—–
–—
—–
ously by asserting all LD_ pins. An asynchronous clear (CLR)
input resets the output of all eight DACs to AGND_. Asserting
–—
—–
CLR resets both the DAC and the input latch to bipolar zero
(1000hex). On power-up, reset circuitry performs the same
–—
—–
function as CLR. All logic inputs are TTL/CMOS compatible.
The MAX547 is available in 44-pin plastic quad flat pack
and 44-pin PLCC packages.

Note 1:
PSRR is tested by changing the respective supply voltage by ±5%.
Note 2:
For best performance, REF_ should be greater than AGND_ + 2V and less than V
DD
- 0.6V. The device operates with
reference inputs outside this range, but performance may degrade. For further information on the reference, see the
Reference and Analog-Ground Inputs
section in the
Detailed Description.
Note 3:
Reference input resistance is code dependent. See
Reference and Analog-Ground Inputs
section in the
Detailed
Description.
Note 4:
Typical settling time with 1000pF capacitive load is 10µs.
Note 5:
Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.
Note 6:
Guaranteed by supply-rejection test.
