Maxim MAX5158EEE Low-power, dual, 10-bit, voltage-output dacs with serial interface Datasheet

19-1315; Rev 1; 12/97
Low-Power, Dual, 10-Bit, Voltage-Output DACs
with Serial Interface
The MAX5158/MAX5159 low-power, serial, voltageoutput, dual, 10-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs)
consume only 500µA from a single +5V (MAX5158) or
+3V (MAX5159) supply. These devices feature Rail-toRail® output swing and are available in a space-saving
16-pin QSOP package. To maximize dynamic range, the
DAC output amplifiers are configured with an internal gain
of +2V/V.
The 3-wire serial interface is SPI™/QSPI™ and
Microwire™ compatible. Each DAC has a doublebuffered input organized as an input register followed by
a DAC register, which allows the input and DAC registers
to be updated independently or simultaneously with a
16-bit serial word. Additional features include a 2µA programmable shutdown, hardware-shutdown lockout, a
separate reference-voltage input for each DAC that
accepts AC and DC signals, and an active-low clear input
(CL) that resets all registers and DACs to zero. The
MAX5158/MAX5159 provide a programmable logic pin
for added functionality and a serial-data output pin for
daisy chaining.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX5158/MAX5159 dual, 10-bit, voltage-output
DACs are easily configured with a 3-wire serial interface. These devices include a 16-bit data-in/data-out
shift register, and each DAC has a double-buffered
input composed of an input register and a DAC register
(see Functional Diagram). In addition, trimmed internal
resistors produce an internal gain of +2V/V that maximizes output voltage swing. The amplifier’s offset-adjust
pin allows for a DC shift in the DAC’s output.
Both DACs use an inverted R-2R ladder network that
produces a weighted voltage proportional to the input
voltage value. Each DAC has its own reference input to
facilitate independent full-scale values. Figure 1
depicts a simplified circuit diagram of one of the two
DACs.
Reference Inputs
The reference inputs accept both AC and DC values
with a voltage range extending from 0V to (VDD - 1.4V).
Determine the output voltage using the following equation (OS_ = AGND):

Output Amplifier
The output amplifiers on the MAX5158/MAX5159 have
internal resistors that provide for a gain of +2V/V when
OS_ is connected to AGND. These resistors are
trimmed to minimize gain error. The output amplifiers
have a typical slew rate of 0.75V/µs and settle to
1/2LSB within 8µs, with a load of 10kΩ in parallel with
100pF. Loads less than 2kΩ degrade performance.
The OS_ pin can be used to produce an adjustable offset voltage at the output. For instance, to achieve a 1V
offset, apply -1V to the OS_ pin to produce an output
range from 1V to (1V + VREF x 2). Note that the DAC’s
output range is still limited by the maximum output voltage specification.
Power-Down Mode
The MAX5158/MAX5159 feature a software-programmable shutdown mode that reduces the typical supply
current to 2µA. The two DACs can be shutdown independently, or simultaneously using the appropriate programming command. Enter shutdown mode by writing
the appropriate input-control word (Table 1). In shutdown mode, the reference inputs and amplifier outputs become high impedance, and the serial interface

remains active. Data in the input registers is saved,
allowing the MAX5158/MAX5159 to recall the output
state prior to entering shutdown when returning to normal mode. Exit shutdown by recalling the previous condition or by updating the DAC with new information.
When returning to normal operation (exiting shutdown),
wait 20µs for output stabilization.

input word consists of an address bit, two control bits, 10
bits of data (MSB to LSB), and 3 sub-bits as shown in
Figure 4. The address and control bits determine the
MAX5158/MAX5159’s response, as outlined in Table 1.

The general timing diagram of Figure 5 illustrates how

disabled. With CS low, data at DIN is clocked into the
register on the rising edge of SCLK. As CS goes high,
data is latched into the input and/or DAC registers,
depending on the address and control bits. The maximum clock frequency guaranteed for proper operation
is 10MHz. Figure 6 depicts a more detailed timing diagram of the serial interface.

MAX5158/MAX5159
The MAX5158/MAX5159’s digital inputs are double
buffered, which allows any of the following: loading the
input register(s) without updating the DAC register(s),
updating the DAC register(s) from the input register(s),
or updating the input and DAC registers concurrently.
The address and control bits allow the DACs to act
independently.
Send the 16-bit data as one 16-bit word (QSPI) or two
8-bit packets (SPI, Microwire), with CS low during this
period. The address and control bits determine which
register will be updated and the state of the registers
when exiting shutdown. The 3-bit address/control determines the following:
• registers to be updated
• clock edge on which data is to be clocked out via
the serial-data output (DOUT)
• state of the user-programmable logic output
• configuration of the device after shutdown.

Serial-Data Output
The serial-data output, DOUT, is the internal shift register’s output. DOUT allows for daisy chaining of devices
and data readback. The MAX5158/MAX5159 can be
programmed to shift data out of DOUT on SCLK’s
falling edge (Mode 0) or on the rising edge (Mode 1).
Mode 0 provides a lag of 16 clock cycles, which maintains compatibility with SPI/QSPI and Microwire interfaces. In Mode 1, the output data lags 15.5 clock
cycles. On power-up, the device defaults to Mode 0.
User-Programmable Logic Output (UPO)
UPO allows an external device to be controlled through
the serial interface (Table 1), thereby reducing the number of microcontroller I/O pins required. On power-up,
UPO is low.
PDL)
Power-Down Lockout Input (P
The power-down lockout pin (PDL) disables software
shutdown when low. When in shutdown, transitioning
PDL from high to low wakes up the part with the output
set to the state prior to shutdown. PDL can also be
used to asynchronously wake up the device.
Daisy Chaining Devices
Any number of MAX5158/MAX5159s can be daisy
chained by connecting the DOUT pin of one device to
the DIN pin of the following device in the chain (Figure 7).
Since the MAX5158/MAX5159’s DOUT pin has an internal
active pull-up, the DOUT sink/source capability determines the time required to discharge/charge a capacitive

Figure 8 shows an alternate method of connecting several MAX5158/MAX5159s. In this configuration, the
data bus is common to all devices; data is not shifted
through a daisy chain. More I/O lines are required in
this configuration because a dedicated chip-select
input (CS) is required for each IC.

produce a range of 0V to 2.5V with a 1.25V reference.
Table 2 lists the unipolar output codes. An offset to the
output can be achieved by connecting a voltage to
OS_, as shown in Figure 10. By applying VOS_ = -1V,
the output values will range between 1V and (1V +
VREF x 2).
Bipolar Output
The MAX5158/MAX5159 can be configured for a bipolar output, as shown in Figure 11. The output voltage is
given by the equation (OS_ = AGND):
VOUT = VREF [((2 x NB) / 1024) - 1]
where NB represents the numeric value of the DAC’s
binary input code. Table 3 shows digital codes and the

Using an AC Reference
In applications where the reference has an AC signal
component, the MAX5158/MAX5159 have multiplying
capabilities within the reference input voltage range
specifications. Figure 12 shows a technique for applying a sinusoidal input to REF_, where the AC signal is
offset before being applied to the reference input.
Harmonic Distortion and Noise
The total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) is typically less than -78dB at full scale with a 1Vp-p input
swing at 5kHz. The typical -3dB frequency is 300kHz
for both devices, as shown in the Typical Operating
Characteristics.

Figure 14. Digital Control of Gain and Offset
Digital Calibration and
Threshold Selection
Figure 13 shows the MAX5158/MAX5159 in a digital
calibration application. With a bright light value applied
to the photodiode (on), the DAC is digitally ramped until
it trips the comparator. The microprocessor (µP) stores
this “high” calibration value. Repeat the process with a
dim light (off) to obtain the dark current calibration. The
µP then programs the DAC to set an output voltage at
the midpoint of the two calibrated values. Applications
include tachometers, motion sensing, automatic readers, and liquid clarity analysis.
Digital Control of Gain and Offset
The two DACs can be used to control the offset and
gain for curve-fitting nonlinear functions, such as transducer linearization or analog compression/expansion
applications. The input signal is used as the reference
for the gain-adjust DAC, whose output is summed with
the output from the offset-adjust DAC. The relative
weight of each DAC output is adjusted by R1, R2, R3,
and R4 (Figure 14).
Power-Supply Considerations
On power-up, the input and DAC registers clear (set to
zero code). For rated performance, VREF_ should be at
least 1.4V below VDD. Bypass the power supply with a
4.7µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF capacitor
to AGND. Minimize lead lengths to reduce lead
inductance.
Grounding and Layout Considerations
Digital and AC transient signals on AGND can create
noise at the output. Connect AGND to the highest quality
ground available. Use proper grounding techniques,
such as a multilayer board with a low-inductance ground
plane. Carefully lay out the traces between channels to
reduce AC cross-coupling and crosstalk. Wire-wrapped
boards and sockets are not recommended. If noise
becomes an issue, shielding may be required.
