8-Bit, 40MHz, Current/Voltage-Output DACs
General Description
The MAX5187 is an 8-bit, current-output digital-to-ana-
log converter (DAC) designed for superior performance
in signal reconstruction or arbitrary waveform genera-
tion applications requiring analog signal reconstruction
with low distortion and low-power operation. The volt-
age-output MAX5190 provides equal specifications,
with on-chip precision resistors for voltage output oper-
ation. Both devices are designed for a 10pVs glitch
operation to minimize unwanted spurious signal com-
ponents at the output. An on-board +1.2V bandgap cir-
cuit provides a well-regulated, low-noise reference that
can be disabled for external reference operation.
The MAX5187/MAX5190 are designed to provide a high
level of signal integrity for the least amount of power
dissipation. They operate from a single supply of +2.7V
to +3.3V. Additionally, these DACs have three modes of
operation: normal, low-power standby, and full shut-
down, which provides the lowest possible power dissi-
pation with a 1µA (max) shutdown current. A fast
wake-up time (0.5µs) from standby mode to full DAC
operation allows for power conservation by activating
the DAC only when required.
The MAX5187/MAX5190 are packaged in a 24-pin
QSOP and are specified for the extended (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range. For higher resolution, 10-bit
versions, see the MAX5181/MAX5184 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.
