General Description
The MAX5480 is a CMOS, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that interfaces directly with most microprocessors. On-chip input latches make the DAC load cycle interface similar to a RAM write cycle, where CS and WR are the only control inputs required.

Features
♦ QSOP-16 Package (same footprint as SO-8)
♦ Single +5V Supply Operation
♦ VOUT or IOUT Operation
♦ 8-Bit Parallel Interface
♦ Guaranteed Monotonic Over Temperature
♦ Low Power Consumption—100µA max
♦ ±1/2LSB Linearity Over Temperature

Applications
    Digitally Adjusted Power Supplies
    Programmable Gain
    Automatic Test Equipment
    Portable, Battery-Powered Instruments
    VCO Frequency Control
    RF Transmit Control in Portable Radios
