Datasheet
MAX551/MAX552
+3V/+5V, 12-Bit, Serial, Multiplying DACs
in 10-Pin µMAX Package
The MAX551/MAX552 have high-impedance digital
inputs. To minimize noise pickup, tie them to either V
DD
or GND when they are not in use. As a good practice,
connect active inputs to V
DD
or GND through high-
value resistors (1MΩ) to prevent static charge accumu-
lation if the pins are left floating, such as when a circuit
card is left unconnected.
The CLR input on the µMAX device has an internal pull-
up resistor with a typical value of 125kΩ. If the CLR
input is not used, tie it to V
DD
to minimize supply current.
