The MAX5177AEEE is an IC (integrated circuit) component that belongs to the MAX5177 family of DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters) designed by Maxim Integrated Products. This DAC provides a multi-channel, voltage output with 10-bit resolution. It is specifically created for use in applications where low power consumption and accurate performance are essential.
The MAX5177AEEE features a dual DAC architecture, comprising two independent voltage outputs that can each be programmed separately. This attribute allows users to control multiple outputs simultaneously with a single device. With a voltage range of 0 to VREF, the DAC outputs are able to drive various loads, including resistive, capacitive, and low-power devices.
One of the key features of the MAX5177AEEE is its ultra-low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. It operates at a supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.25V while consuming only 90µA (microamperes) of current, which is exceptionally low compared to other DACs.
Furthermore, the MAX5177AEEE offers high accuracy, achieving less than 1 LSB (Least Significant Bit) integral nonlinearity and differential nonlinearity, ensuring precise output voltages. It also provides low temperature drift, delivering stable performance across a wide temperature range.
This IC component supports both serial (3-wire SPI) and parallel interface modes, enabling easy integration with various microcontrollers and digital devices
