MAX5441–MAX5444 General Description The MAX5441–MAX5444 are serial-input, voltage-output, 16-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) in tiny µMAX® packages, 50% smaller than comparable DACs in 8-pin SOs. They operate from low +3V (MAX5443/ MAX5444) or +5V (MAX5441/MAX5442) single supplies. They provide 16-bit performance (±2LSB INL and ±1LSB DNL) over temperature without any adjustments. Unbuffered DAC outputs result in a low supply current of 120µA and a low offset error of 2LSB. The DAC output ranges from 0 to VREF. For bipolar operation, matched scaling resistors are provided in the MAX5442/MAX5444 for use with an external precision op amp (such as the MAX400), generating a ±VREF output swing. A 16-bit serial word is used to load data into the DAC latch. The 25MHz, 3-wire serial interface is compatible with SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™, and can interface directly with optocouplers for applications requiring isolation. A power-on reset circuit clears the DAC output to code 0 (MAX5441/MAX5443) or code 32768 (MAX5442 /MAX5444) when power is initially applied. A logic low on CLR asynchronously clears the DAC output to code 0 (MAX5441/MAX5443) or code 32768 (MAX5442/MAX5444) independent of the serial interface. The MAX5441/MAX5443 are available in 8-pin µMAX packages. The MAX5442/MAX5444 are available in 10pin µMAX packages.

Typical Operating Circuit—Bipolar Output Detailed Description The MAX5441–MAX5444 voltage-output, 16-bit digitalto-analog converters (DACs) offer full 16-bit performance with less than 2LSB integral linearity error and less than 1LSB differential linearity error, thus ensuring monotonic performance. Serial data transfer minimizes the number of package pins required. The MAX5441–MAX5444 are composed of two matched DAC sections, with a 12-bit inverted R-2R DAC forming the 12 LSBs and the four MSBs derived from 15 identically matched resistors. This architecture allows the lowest glitch energy to be transferred to the DAC output on major-carry transitions. It also lowers the DAC output impedance by a factor of eight compared _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX5441–MAX5444 +3V/+5V, Serial-Input, Voltage-Output, 16-Bit DACs to a standard R-2R ladder, allowing unbuffered operation in medium-load applications. The MAX5442/MAX5444 provide matched bipolar offset resistors, which connect to an external op amp for bipolar output swings (Figure 2b). Digital Interface The MAX5441–MAX5444 digital interface is a standard 3-wire connection compatible with SPI/QSPI/ MICROWIRE interfaces. The chip-select input (CS) frames the serial data loading at the data-input pin (DIN). Immediately following CS’s high-to-low transition, the data is shifted synchronously and latched into the input register on the rising edge of the serial clock input (SCLK). After 16 data bits have been loaded into the serial input register, it transfers its contents to the DAC latch on CS’s low-to-high transition (Figure 3). Note that if CS is not kept low during the entire 16 SCLK cycles, data will be corrupted. In this case, reload the DAC latch with a new 16-bit word. Clearing the DAC A 20ns (min) logic-low pulse on CLR asynchronously clears the DAC buffer to code 0 in the MAX5441/ MAX5443 and to code 32768 in the MAX5442/ MAX5444. External Reference The MAX5441–MAX5444 operate with external voltage references from 2V to V DD . The reference voltage determines the DAC’s full-scale output voltage. Power-On Reset The power-on reset circuit sets the output of the MAX5441/MAX5443 to code 0 and the output of the MAX5442/MAX5444 to code 32768 when VDD is first applied. This ensures that unwanted DAC output voltages will not occur immediately following a system power-up, such as after a loss of power. Applications Information Reference and Ground Inputs The MAX5441–MAX5444 operate with external voltage references from 2V to VDD, and maintain 16-bit performance if certain guidelines are followed when selecting and applying the reference. Ideally, the reference’s temperature coefficient should be less than 0.1ppm/°C to maintain 16-bit accuracy to within 1LSB over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. Since this converter is designed as an inverted R-2R voltage-mode DAC, the input resistance seen by the voltage reference is code-dependent. In unipolar mode, the worst-case input-resistance variation is from 11.5kΩ (at code 8555hex) to 200kΩ (at code 0000hex). The maximum change in load current for a 2.5V reference is 2.5V / 11.5k Ω = 217µA; therefore, the required load regulation is 7ppm/mA for a maximum error of 0.1LSB. This implies a reference output impedance of less than 18mΩ. In addition, the impedance of the signal path from the voltage reference to the reference input must be kept low because it contributes directly to the load-regulation error. The requirement for a low-impedance voltage reference is met with capacitor bypassing at the reference inputs and ground. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor with short leads between REF and GND provides high-frequency bypassing. A surface-mount ceramic chip capacitor is preferred because it has the lowest inductance.

MAX5441–MAX5444 3-Wire Interface Timing Diagram 8 _______________________________________________________________________________________ +3V/+5V, Serial-Input, Voltage-Output, 16-Bit DACs Unbuffered Operation Unbuffered operation reduces power consumption as well as offset error contributed by the external output buffer. The R-2R DAC output is available directly at OUT, allowing 16-bit performance from +VREF to GND without degradation at zero-scale. The DAC’s output impedance is also low enough to drive medium loads (RL > 60kΩ) without degradation of INL or DNL; only the gain error is increased by externally loading the DAC output. External Output Buffer Amplifier The requirements on the external output buffer amplifier change whether the DAC is used in the unipolar or bipolar mode of operation. In unipolar mode, the output amplifier is used in a voltage-follower connection. In bipolar mode (MAX5442/MAX5444 only), the amplifier operates with the internal scaling resistors (Figure 2b). In each mode, the DAC’s output resistance is constant and is independent of input code; however, the output amplifier’s input impedance should still be as high as possible to minimize gain errors. The DAC’s output capacitance is also independent of input code, thus simplifying stability requirements on the external amplifier. In bipolar mode, a precision amplifier operating with dual power supplies (such as the MAX400) provides the ±VREF output range. In single-supply applications, precision amplifiers with input common-mode ranges including GND are available; however, their output swings do not normally include the negative rail (GND) without significant degradation of performance. A single-supply op amp, such as the MAX495, is suitable if the application does not use codes near zero. Since the LSBs for a 16-bit DAC are extremely small (38.15µV for VREF = 2.5V), pay close attention to the external amplifier’s input specification. The input offset voltage can degrade the zero-scale error and might require an output offset trim to maintain full accuracy if the offset voltage is greater than 1/2LSB. Similarly, the input bias current multiplied by the DAC output resistance (typically 6.25kΩ) contributes to the zero-scale error. Temperature effects also must be taken into consideration. Over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range, the offset voltage temperature coefficient (referenced to +25°C) must be less than 0.24µV/°C to add less than 1/2LSB of zero-scale error. The external amplifier’s input resistance forms a resistive divider with the DAC output resistance, which results in a gain error. To contribute less than 1/2LSB of gain error, the input resistance typically must be greater than: 6.25kΩ × 217 = 819MΩ The settling time is affected by the buffer input capacitance, the DAC’s output capacitance, and PC board capacitance. The typical DAC output voltage settling time is 1µs for a full-scale step. Settling time can be significantly less for smaller step changes. Assuming a single time-constant exponential settling response, a full-scale step takes 12 time constants to settle to within 1/2LSB of the final output voltage. The time constant is equal to the DAC output resistance multiplied by the total output capacitance. The DAC output capacitance is typically 10pF. Any additional output capacitance will increase the settling time. The external buffer amplifier’s gain-bandwidth product is important because it increases the settling time by adding another time constant to the output response. The effective time constant of two cascaded systems, each with a single time-constant response, is approximately the root square sum of the two time constants. The DAC output’s time constant is 1µs / 12 = 83ns, ignoring the effect of additional capacitance. If the time constant of an external amplifier with 1MHz bandwidth is 1 / 2π (1MHz) = 159ns, then the effective time constant of the combined system is: ⎡ 83ns 2 + 159ns 2 ⎤ = 180ns ) ( ) ⎥⎦ ⎢⎣( This suggests that the settling time to within 1/2LSB of the final output voltage, including the external buffer amplifier, will be approximately 12 ✕ 180ns = 2.15µs. Digital Inputs and Interface Logic The digital interface for the 16-bit DAC is based on a 3-wire standard that is compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE interfaces. The three digital inputs (CS, DIN, and SCLK) load the digital input data serially into the DAC. A 20ns (min) logic-low pulse on CLR clears the data in the DAC buffer. All of the digital inputs include Schmitt-trigger buffers to accept slow-transition interfaces. This means that optocouplers can interface directly to the MAX5441– MAX5444 without additional external logic. The digital inputs are compatible with TTL/CMOS-logic levels. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX5441–MAX5444 additional 1µF between REF and GND provides low-frequency bypassing. A low-ESR tantalum, film, or organic semiconductor capacitor works well. Leaded capacitors are acceptable because impedance is not as critical at lower frequencies. The circuit can benefit from even larger bypassing capacitors, depending on the stability of the external reference with capacitive loading.
