MAXIM MAX5223EKA-T

19-1895; Rev 0; 1/01
Low-Power, Dual, 8-Bit, Voltage Output
Serial DAC in 8-Pin SOT23
Features
♦ Tiny 8-Pin SOT23 Package (3mm ✕ 3mm)
The device uses a 3-wire serial interface, which operates at clock rates up to 25MHz and is compatible with
SPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™ interface standards.
The serial input shift register is 16 bits long and consists of 8 bits of DAC input data and 8 bits for DAC
selection and shutdown control. DAC registers can be
loaded independently or in parallel at the positive edge
of CS.
♦ +2.7V to +5.5V Single-Supply Operation
The MAX5223’s ultra-low power consumption and tiny
8-pin SOT23 package make it ideal for portable and
battery-powered applications. Supply current is a low
100µA and drops below 1µA in shutdown mode. In
addition, the reference input is disconnected from the
REF pin during shutdown, which reduces the system’s
total power consumption.

MAX5223
General Description
The MAX5223 contains two 8-bit, buffered, voltage output digital-to-analog converters (DAC A and DAC B) in a
small 8-pin SOT23 package. DAC outputs can source
and sink 1mA to within 100mV of ground and VDD. The
MAX5223 operates with a single +2.7V to +5.5V supply.

Note 1: The outputs may be shorted to VDD or GND if the package power dissipation is not exceeded. Typical short-circuit current to
GND is 70mA.
Note 2: Reduced digital code range (code 24 through code 232) is due to swing limitations of the output amplifiers. See Typical
Operating Characteristics.
Note 3: Reference input resistance is code-dependent. The lowest input resistance occurs at code 55hex. See the Reference Input
section.
Note 4: Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.

Low-Power, Dual, 8-Bit, Voltage Output
Serial DAC in 8-Pin SOT23
Analog Section
The MAX5223 contains two 8-bit, voltage output DACs.
The DACs are “inverted” R-2R ladder networks. They
use complementary switches that convert 8-bit digital
inputs into equivalent analog output voltages in proportion to the applied reference voltage.
The MAX5223 has one reference input that is shared
by DAC A and DAC B. The device includes output
buffer amplifiers for both DACs and input logic for simple microprocessor (µP) and CMOS interfaces. The
power supply range is from +5.5V down to +2.7V.
Reference Input and DAC Output Range
The voltage at REF sets the full-scale output of the
DACs. The input impedance of the REF input is codedependent. The lowest value, approximately 8kΩ,
occurs when the input code is 01010101 (55hex). The
typical value of 50MΩ occurs when the input code is
zero.
In shutdown mode, the selected DAC output is set to
zero, while the value stored in the DAC register remains
unchanged. This removes the load from the reference
input to save power. Bringing the MAX5223 out of shutdown mode restores the DAC output voltage. Since the
input resistance at REF is code-dependent, the DAC’s
reference source should have an output impedance of
no more than 5Ω to meet accuracy specifications and
to avoid crosstalk. The input capacitance at the REF

pin is also code dependent and typically does not
exceed 25pF.
The reference voltage on REF can range anywhere from
GND to VDD. See the Output Buffer Amplifier section for
more information. Figure 1 is the DAC simplified circuit
diagram.
Output Buffer Amplifiers
DAC A and DAC B voltage outputs are internally
buffered. The buffer amplifiers have a Rail-to-Rail®
(GND to VDD) output voltage range.
Both DAC output amplifiers can source and sink up to
1mA of current. The amplifiers are unity-gain stable
with a capacitive load of 100pF or smaller. The slew
rate is typically 0.15V/µs.
Shutdown Mode
When programmed to shutdown mode, the outputs of
DAC A and DAC B are passively pulled to GND with a
series 5kΩ resistor. In shutdown mode, the REF input is
high impedance (50MΩ typ) to conserve current drain
from the system reference; therefore, the system reference does not have to be powered down.
Coming out of shutdown, the DAC outputs return to the
values kept in the registers. The recovery time is equivalent to the DAC settling time.
Serial Interface
–—–
An active low chip select (CS) enables the shift register
to receive data from the serial data input. Data is
clocked into the shift register on every rising edge of
the serial clock signal (SCLK). The clock frequency can
be as high as 25MHz.
Data is sent by the most significant bit (MSB) first and
can be transmitted in one 16-bit
–—– word. The write cycle
can be segmented when C S is kept active (low) to
allow, for example, two 8-bit wide transfers. After clocking all 16–—bits
into the input shift register, the rising
–
edge of CS updates the DAC outputs and the shutdown status. DACs cannot be simultaneously updated
to different digital values because of their single buffered
structure.
Serial Input Data Format and Control Codes
Table 1 lists the serial input data format and Table 2
lists the programming commands. The 16-bit input
word consists of an 8-bit control byte and an 8-bit data
byte. The 8-bit control byte is not decoded internally.
Every control bit performs one function. Data is clocked

Digital Inputs
The digital inputs are compatible with CMOS logic.
Supply current increases slightly when toggling the
logic inputs through the transition zone between
0.3 ✕ VDD and 0.7 ✕ VDD.
changes data at the falling edge of SCLK. This setting
allows SPI to run at full clock speeds. If a serial port is
not available on your µP, three bits of a parallel port can
be used to emulate a serial port by bit manipulation.
Minimize digital feedthrough at the voltage outputs by
operating the serial clock only when necessary.
Microprocessor Interfacing
The MAX5223 serial interface is compatible with
MICROWIRE, SPI, and QSPI. For SPI, clear the CPOL
and CPHA bits (CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0). CPOL = 0
sets the inactive clock state to zero, and CPHA = 0

GND should be connected to the highest quality
ground available. Bypass VDD with a 0.1µF to 0.22µF
capacitor to GND. The reference input can be used
without bypassing. For optimum line- and load-transient
response and noise performance, bypass the reference
input with 0.1µF to 4.7µF to GND. Careful PC board layout minimizes crosstalk among DAC outputs, the reference, and digital inputs. Separate analog lines with
ground traces between them. Make sure that high-frequency digital lines are not routed in parallel to analog
lines.
