General Description
The MAX5171/MAX5173 low-power, serial, voltage-output, 14-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) feature a precision output amplifier in a space-saving 16-pin QSOP package. The MAX5171 operates from a +5V single supply, and the MAX5173 operates from a +3V single supply. The output amplifier’s inverting input is available to allow specific gain configurations, remote sensing, and high output current capability.
