MAXIM MAX5741EUB

19-2123; Rev 2; 7/03
10-Bit, Low-Power, Quad, Voltage-Output
DAC with Serial Interface
Features
♦ Ultra-Low Power Consumption
229µA at VDD = +3.6V
271µA at VDD = +5.5V
The 20MHz, 3-wire SPI™, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™ and
DSP-compatible serial interface saves board space and
reduces the complexity of opto- and transformer-isolated
applications. The MAX5741 on-chip power-on reset
(POR) circuit resets the DAC outputs to zero and loads
the output with a 100kΩ resistor to ground. This provides
additional safety for applications that drive valves or other
transducers that need to be off on power-up. The
MAX5741’s software controlled power-down reduces
supply current to less than 0.1µA and provides softwareselectable output loads (1kΩ, 100kΩ, or high impedance)
while in power-down. The MAX5741 is specified over the
-40°C to +125°C extended temperature range and available in a 10-pin µMAX package
♦ Three Software-Selectable Power-Down
Impedances (100kΩ, 1kΩ, Hi-Z)
♦ Wide +2.7V to +5.5V Single-Supply Range
♦ 10-Pin µMAX Package
♦ 0.3µA Power-Down Current
♦ Guaranteed 10-Bit Monotonicity (±1LSB DNL)
♦ Safe Power-Up Reset to Zero Volts at DAC Output
♦ Fast 20MHz, 3-Wire SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRECompatible Serial Interface
♦ Rail-to-Rail Output Buffer Amplifiers
♦ Schmitt-Triggered Logic Inputs for Direct
Interfacing to Optocouplers
♦ Wide -40°C to +125°C Operating Temperature

MAX5741
General Description
The MAX5741 quad, 10-bit, low-power, buffered voltage-output, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is packaged in a space-saving 10-pin µMAX package (5mm ✕
3mm). The wide supply voltage range of +2.7V to
+5.5V and 229µA supply current accommodates lowpower and low-voltage applications. DAC outputs
employ on-chip precision output amplifiers that swing
Rail-to-Rail®. The MAX5741’s reference input accepts a
voltage range from 0 to VDD. In power-down the reference input is high impedance, further reducing the system’s total power consumption.

OUTA–OUTD
DAC Voltage Outputs. Power-on reset sets DAC registers to zero, and internally connects
OUT to GND with 100kΩ resistor.
Detailed Description
The MAX5741 contains four 10-bit, voltage-output, lowpower digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Each DAC
employs a resistor word string architecture that converts a 10-bit digital input word to an equivalent analog
output voltage proportional to the applied reference
voltage. The MAX5741 shares one reference input
(REF) between all four DACs. The MAX5741 includes
rail-to-rail output buffer amplifiers for each DAC, and
input logic for simple microprocessor (µP), and CMOS
interfaces. The power-supply range is from +2.7V to
+5.5V (Functional Diagram). The MAX5741’s reference
input accepts a voltage range from 0 to VDD. In powerdown mode the reference input is high impedance. The
MAX5741 is compatible with the 3-wire SPI, QSPI,
MICROWIRE, and DSP serial interface with Schmitt-triggered logic inputs.
Reference Input and DAC Output Range
The reference input accepts positive DC and AC signals. The voltage at REF sets the full-scale output voltage of the four DACs. The reference input voltage
range is 0 to VDD. The impedance at REF is 45kΩ. The
voltage at REF can vary from GND to VDD. The output
voltages (VOUT_) are represented by a digitally programmable voltage source as:
VOUT_ = (VREF ✕ D) / 210
where D is the decimal equivalent of binary DAC input
code ranging from 0 to 1023. VREF is the voltage at
REF.
Output Buffer Amplifiers
All DACs are internally buffered at the output. The
buffer amplifiers have both rail-to-rail common mode
and (GND to VREF) output voltage range. The buffers
are unity-gain stable with CL = 200pF and RL = 5kΩ.
Buffer amplifiers are disabled during power-up and
individual DAC outputs are shorted to GND through a
100kΩ resistor. Buffer amplifiers can individually or altogether be powered-down by programming the input
register control bits. During power down, contents of
the input and DAC registers remain the same. On
wake-up all DAC outputs are restored to their prepower down voltage values.
Power-Down Mode
In power-down mode, the DAC outputs are programmed to one of three output states, 1kΩ, 100kΩ, or
floating (Table 1). The REF input is high impedance
(2MΩ typ) to conserve current drain from the system
reference; therefore, the system reference does not
have to be powered-down. The DAC outputs return to
the values contained in the registers when brought out
of power-down. The recovery time, from total powerdown to power-up, is 8µs. This extra time is needed to
allow the internal bias to wake-up. Power-down mode
reduces current consumption to 0.3µA.
3-Wire Serial Interface
The MAX5741 digital interface is a standard 3-wire connection compatible with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP
interfaces. The chip-select input (CS) frames the serial
data loading at DIN. Immediately following CS high-tolow transition, the data is shifted synchronously and
latched into the input register on the falling edge of the
serial clock input (SCLK). After 16 bits have been
loaded into the serial input register, it transfers its con-

tents to the DAC latch. CS may then either be held low
or brought high. CS must be brought high for a minimum of 80ns before the next write sequence, since a
write sequence is initiated on a falling edge of CS. Not
keeping CS low during the first 15 SCLK cycles discards input data. The serial clock (SCLK) can idle
either high or low between transitions.
The MAX5741 has two internal registers per DAC, the
input register and the DAC register. The input register
holds the data that is waiting to be shifted to the DAC
register. All four input registers can be loaded without
updating the output. This function is useful when all outputs need to be updated at the same time. The input
register can be made transparent. When the input register is transparent, the data written into DIN loads
directly to the DAC register and the output is updated.
10
The DAC output is not updated until data is written to
the DAC register. See Table 2 for a list of serial-interface programming commands.
Power-On Reset (POR)
The MAX5741 has an internal POR circuit. At power-up all
DACs are powered-down and OUT_ is terminated to
GND through 100kΩ resistors. Contents of input and DAC
registers are cleared to all zero. 8µs recovery time after
issuing a wake-up command is needed before writing to
the DAC registers. Power-down mode control commands
can be applied immediately with no recovery time.
C3–C0 are control bits. The data bits D9 to D0 are in
straight binary format. Set bits S1 and S0 to zero. All
zeros correspond to zero scale and all ones correspond to full scale.

Digital Inputs
The digital inputs are compatible with CMOS logic. In
order to save power and reduce input to output coupling, SCLK and DIN input buffers are powered down
immediately after completion of shifting 16 bits into the
input shift register. A high to low transition at CS powers up SCLK and DIN input buffers.
Applications Information
Unipolar Output
The typical application circuit (Figure 3) shows the
MAX5741 configured for a unipolar output, where the
output voltages and the reference inputs have the
same polarity. Table 3 lists the unipolar output codes.
Bipolar Output
The MAX5741 can be configured for bipolar operation
using a dual supply op amp (Figure 4). The transfer
function for bipolar operation is:
