MAXIM MAX5711

19-2195; Rev 0; 10/01
10-Bit, Low-Power, Rail-to-Rail
Voltage-Output Serial DAC in SOT23
The MAX5711 utilizes a 3-wire serial interface compatible
with SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™ and DSP-interface
standards. All logic inputs are CMOS-logic compatible
and buffered with Schmitt triggers to allow direct interfacing to optocouplers. The MAX5711 incorporates a poweron reset (POR) circuit that ensures that the DAC begins in
a zero-volt-state upon power-up. A power-down mode
that reduces current consumption to 0.3µA may be initiated through a software command.
The MAX5711 is available in a small 6-pin SOT23 package. For dual and quad 10-bit versions, see the MAX5721
and MAX5741 data sheets. For single, dual, and quad
12-bit versions, see the MAX5712, MAX5722, and
MAX5742 data sheets. The MAX5711 is specified over
the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

MAX5711
General Description
The MAX5711 is a small footprint, low-power, 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that operates from a single
+2.7V to +5.5V supply. The MAX5711 on-chip precision
output amplifier provides Rail-to-Rail® output swing.
Drawing an 85µA supply current at 3V, the MAX5711 is
ideally suited to portable battery-operated equipment.

10-Bit, Low-Power, Rail-to-Rail
Voltage-Output Serial DAC in SOT23
The MAX5711 voltage-output, 10-bit DAC, offers a full
10-bit performance in a small 6-pin SOT23 package.
The SOT23 footprint is less than 9mm2. The MAX5711
has less than 1LSB differential nonlinearity error, ensuring monotonic performance. The device uses a simple
3-wire, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE and DSP-compatible serial interface that operates up to 20MHz. The MAX5711
incorporates three shutdown modes, making it ideal for
low-power applications.
Power-On Reset
The MAX5711 has a POR circuit to set the DACs output
to zero when VDD is first applied. This ensures that
unwanted DAC output voltages will not occur immediately following a system startup, such as after a loss of
power. Upon initial power-up, an internal power-on
reset circuit ensures that all DAC registers are cleared,
the DAC is powered-down, and its output is terminated
to GND by a 100kΩ resistor. An 8µs recovery time after
issuing a wake-up command is needed before writing
to the DAC registers.
Analog Section
The MAX5711 consists of a resistor string, an output
buffer, and a POR circuit. Monotonic digital-to-analog
conversion is achieved using a resistor string architecture. Since VDD is the reference for the MAX5711, the
accuracy of the DAC depends on the accuracy of VDD.
The low bias current of the MAX5711 allows its power
to be supplied by a voltage reference such as the
MAX6030. The 10-bit DAC code is binary-unipolar with
1LSB = VDD/1024.
Digital Section
3-Wire Serial Interface
The MAX5711 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, the serial input register transfers its contents 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
Output Buffer
The DAC output buffer has a rail-to-rail output and is
capable of driving a 5kΩ resistive load in parallel with a
200pF capacitive load. With a capacitive load of 200pF,
the output buffer slews 0.5V/µs. With a 1/4FS to 3/4FS
output transition, the amplifier output settles to 1/2LSB
in less than 10µs when loaded with 5kΩ in parallel with
200pF. The buffer amplifier is stable with any combination
of resistive loads greater than 5kΩ and capacitive loads
less than 200pF.

device. The DAC registers are preserved during powerdown and upon wake-up, the DAC output is restored to
its pre-power-down voltage.

15 SCLK cycles discards input data. The serial clock
(SCLK) can idle either high or low between transitions.

Power-Down Modes
The MAX5711 includes three software-controlled
power-down modes that reduce the supply current to
below 1µA. In two of the three power-down modes,
OUT is connected to GND through a resistor. Table 1
lists the three power-down modes of operation. When in
power-down, the MAX5711 does not respond to the
“set and update” command.
Applications Information
Device Powered by
an External Reference
The MAX5711 generates an output voltage proportional
to VDD, coupling power-supply noise to the output. The
circuit in Figure 2 rejects this power-supply noise by
powering the device directly with a precision voltage
reference, improving overall system accuracy. The
MAX6030 (+3V, 75ppm) or the MAX6050 (+5V, 75ppm)
precision voltage references are ideal choices due to
the low-power requirements of the MAX5711. This solution is also useful when the required full-scale output
voltage is less than the available supply voltages.
Digital Inputs and Interface Logic
GND
Figure 2. MAX5711 Powered By Reference
Schmitt-trigger buffers to accept slow-transition interfaces. This allows optocouplers to interface directly to
the MAX5711 without additional external logic. The digital inputs are compatible with CMOS-logic levels.
Power-Supply Bypassing and Layout
Careful PC board layout is important for optimal system
performance. Keep analog and digital signals separate
to reduce noise injection and digital feedthrough. Use a
ground plane to ensure that the ground return from
GND to the supply ground is short and low impedance.
Bypass VDD with a 0.1µF capacitor to ground as close
as possible to the device.
Chip Information
