The MAX521BEAG+T is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component produced by Maxim Integrated. It is a high-accuracy, low-power, and voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC). This device provides 12-bit resolution (4096 counts) and operates from a single power supply ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V.
Key Features:
1. High-Resolution DAC: The MAX521BEAG+T offers a 12-bit resolution, allowing it to convert a digital input word into an analog output voltage with precision. It provides 4096 possible output voltage levels.
2. Low Power Consumption: This DAC is designed to consume minimal power, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications. It operates with a low quiescent current of just 120μA (typical) and a shutdown current of 0.5μA (typical).
3. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The IC can operate using a single power supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V. This flexibility allows compatibility with various systems and power sources.
4. SPI-Compatible Serial Interface: The MAX521BEAG+T utilizes a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for communication with a microcontroller or other digital devices. The SPI interface provides a simple and efficient means of sending digital commands to the DAC
