Maxim Integrated
General Description
The MAX500 is a quad, 8-bit, voltage-output digital-toanalog converter (DAC) with a cascadable serial interface. The IC includes four output buffer amplifiers and input logic for an easy-to-use, two- or three-wire serial interface. In a system with several MAX500s, only one serial data line is required to load all the DACs by cascading them.
