+1.8V to +5.5V, Ultra-Low-Power, 8-Bit,
Voltage-Output DACs
General Description
The MAX5510/MAX5511 are single, 8-bit, ultra-low-
power, voltage-output, digital-to-analog converters
(DACs) offering Rail-to-Rail
®
buffered voltage outputs.
The DACs operate from a 1.8V to 5.5V supply and con-
sume less than 6µA, making them desirable for low-
power and low-voltage applications. A shutdown mode
reduces overall current, including the reference input
current, to just 0.18µA. The MAX5510/MAX5511 use a
3-wire serial interface that is compatible with SPI™,
QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™.
At power-up, the MAX5510/MAX5511 outputs are dri-
ven to zero scale, providing additional safety for appli-
cations that drive valves or for other transducers that
must be off during power-up. The zero-scale outputs
enable glitch-free power-up.
The MAX5510 accepts an external reference input. The
MAX5511 contains an internal reference and provides
an external reference output. Both devices have force-
sense-configured output buffers.
The MAX5510/MAX5511 are available in a 4mm x 4mm
x 0.8mm, 12-pin, thin QFN package and are guaranteed
over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
For 12-bit compatible devices, refer to the MAX5530/
MAX5531 data sheet. For 10-bit compatible devices,
refer to the MAX5520/MAX5521 data sheet.

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
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
