Dual, 10-Bit, 40MHz, Current/Voltage
Simultaneous-Output DACs
General Description
The MAX5180 contains two 10-bit, simultaneous-
update, current-output digital-to-analog converters
(DACs) designed for superior performance in communi-
cations systems requiring analog signal reconstruction
with low distortion and low-power operation. The
MAX5183 provides equal specifications, with on-chip
precision resistors for voltage output operation. The
devices are designed for 10pVs glitch operation to min-
imize unwanted spurious signal components at the out-
put. An on-board 1.2V bandgap circuit provides a
well-regulated, low-noise reference that can be dis-
abled for external reference operation.
The MAX5180/MAX5183 are designed to provide a high
level of signal integrity for the least amount of power dis-
sipation. The DACs operate from a single supply of 2.7V
to 3.3V. Additionally, these DACs have three modes of
operation: normal, low-power standby, and complete
shutdown, which provides the lowest possible power dis-
sipation with 1µA (max) shutdown current. A fast wake-
up time (0.5µs) from standby mode to full DAC operation
conserves power by activating the DACs only when
required.
The MAX5180/MAX5183 are packaged in a 28-pin QSOP
and are specified for the extended (-40°C to +85°C)
temperature range. For lower-resolution, dual 8-bit
versions, refer to the MAX5186/MAX5189 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.
