GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRD5408/10/12 are low power, voltage output
digital-to-analog converters (DAC) for +3V power supply
operation. The parts draw only 70mA of quiescent current
and are available in both an 8-lead PDIP and SOIC
package.
The XRD5408/10/12 have a 3 wire serial port with an
output allowing the user to daisy chain several of them
together. The serial port will support both Microwiret,
SPIt, and QSPIt standards.
The outputs of the XRD5408/10/12 are set at a gain of +2.
The output short circuit current is 7mA typical.

Notes
1 Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a
stress rating only and functional operation at or above this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2 Any input pin which can see a value outside the absolute maximum ratings should be protected by Schottky diode clamps
(HP5082-2835) from input pin to the supplies. All inputs have protection diodes which will protect the device from short
transients outside the supplies of less than 100mA for less than 100ms.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Fixed Gain +2 Voltage Output Amplifier
XRD5408/10/12 Description
A high open-loop gain operational amplifier buffers the
resistor string with a stable, fixed gain of +2. The voltage
output will settle within 13 s. The output is short circuit
protected and can regulate an output load of 2V into 2k
within 2mV at 25°C.
The XRD5408/10/12 are micro-power, voltage output,
serial daisy-chain programmable DACs operating from a
single 5V power supply. The DACs are built on a 0.6
micron CMOS process. The features of these DACs
make it well suited for industrial control, low distortion
audio, battery operated devices and cost sensitive
designs that want to minimize pin count on ICs.
While the reference input will accept a voltage from
rail-to-rail, the linear input voltage range is constrained by
the output swing of the fixed +2 closed-loop gain amplifier.
Full scale output swing is achieved with an external
reference of approximately 1/2 VDD. The reference
voltage must be positive because the XRD5408/10/12
DAC is non-inverting.
Resistor String DAC

The three wire serial interface includes a DOUT to enable
daisy-chaining of several DACs. This minimizes pin
count necessary of digital asics or controllers to address
multiple DACS. The serial interface is designed for
CMOS logic levels. Timing is shown in Figure 2. The
binary coding table (Table 1) shows the DAC transfer
function.

APPLICATION NOTES
Figure 3. XRD5408/10/12 DAC Architecture
Serial Interface
The resistor string architecture provides a non-inverted
output voltage (VOUT) of the reference input (VREFIN) for
single supply operation while maintaining a constant input
resistance. Unlike inverted R-2R architectures the
reference input resistance will remain constant
independent of code. This greatly simplifies the analog
driving source requirements for the reference voltage and
minimizes distortion. Similarly input capacitance varies
only approximately 4pF over all codes.
The XRD5408/10/12 family has a three wire serial
interface that is compatible with Microwiret, SPIt and
QSPIt standards. Typical configurations are shown in
Figure 4 and Figure 5. Maximum serial port clock rate is
limited by the minimum pulse width of tCH and tCL.
Feedthrough noise from the serial port to the analog
output (VOUT) is minimized by lowering the frequency of
the serial port and holding the digital edges to >5ns.

Figure 6. Shift Register Format
The DACs are programmed by a 16 bit word of serial data.
The format of the serial input register is shown in Figure 6.
The leading 4 bits are not used to update the DAC. If the
DAC is not daisy-chained then only a 12 bit serial word is
needed to program the DAC. The next 8, 10 or 12 bits
after the 4 leading bits are data bits. The XRD5408’s first
8 bits are valid data and the trailing 4 bits must be set to 0.
Figure 7 demonstrates the 16 bit digital word for the 8,
10,12 bit DACs.

ACFT Feedthrough (DAC Code = 0)
AC Feedthrough from VREFIN to VOUT is minimized with
low impedance grounding as shown in Figure 7. If the
DAC data is set to all “0”s then VOUT is a function of the
divider between the DAC string impedance and ground
impedance. See the Power Supply and Grounding
section for recommendations.
The typical AC
feedthrough for a 1kHz 2Vpp signal with code = 0 is
-80dB.

Daisy-Chaining
Figure 7. ACFT Feedthrough Equivalent
Circuit, DAC Code =0
The digital output port (DOUT) has a 4mA drive for greater
fan-out capability when daisy-chaining. DOUT allows
cascading of multiple DACs with the same serial data
stream. The data at SDIN appears at DOUT after 16 clock
cycles plus one clock width (tCH) and a propagation delay
(tDO). DOUT remains in the state of the last data bit when
CS is high. DOUT changes on the falling edge of SCLK
when CS is low.
Compatible with MAX515 & MAX539
The XRD5408/10/12 family of DACs are functionally
campatible with the MAX515 & MAX539 while providing
significant improvements. The XRD5408/10/12 DACs
have lower power, faster serial ports, and a constant
reference impedance to minimize the reference driving
requirements and maximize system linearity. The DOUT
Any number of DACs can be connected in this way by

port also has 4mA driving capability for greater fan-out
when daisy-chaning to other digital inputs.
Power Supply and Grounding
Best parametric results are obtained by powering the
XRD5408/10/12 family of DACs from an analog +5V
power supply and analog ground. Digital power supplies
and grounds should be separated or connected to the
analog supplies and grounds only at the low-impedance
power-supply source. This is best accomplished on a
multilayer PCB with dedicated planes to ground and
power. The DACs should be locally bypassed with both
0.1 F and 2.2 F capacitors mounted as close as possible
to the power supply pin (VDD). Surface mount ceramic
capacitors are recommended for low impedance, wide
band power supply bypass. If only one +5V power supply
is available for both analog and digital circuity isolate the
analog power supply to the XRD5408/10/12 DAC with an
inductor or ferrite bead before the local bypass
capacitors.
Monotonicity
The XRD5408/10/12 family of DACs are monotonic over
the entire temperature range.
Micro-Power Operation
The XRD5408 is the lowest power in their class. The
quiescent current rating does not include the reference
ladder current. Power can be saved when the part is not in
use by setting the DAC code to all “0”s assuming the
output load is referenced to ground. This minimizes the
DAC output load current. An analog switch placed in
series with the reference ladder can toggle the reference
voltage off when the circuit is inactive to minimize power
consumption.
