MAXIM MAX5351BCPA

19-1124; Rev 1; 12/96
Low-Power, 13-Bit Voltage-Output DACs
with Serial Interface
______________________________Features
The MAX535/MAX5351 combine a low-power, voltageoutput, 13-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a
precision output amplifier in an 8-pin µMAX or DIP package. The MAX535 operates from a single +5V supply
and the MAX5351 operates from a single +3.3V supply.
Both devices draw only 280µA of supply current.
The output amplifier’s inverting input is available to the
user, allowing specific gain configurations, remote
sensing, and high output current capability. This makes
the MAX535/MAX5351 ideal for a wide range of applications, including industrial process control. Other features include a software shutdown and power-on reset.
The serial interface is compatible with either SPI™/
QSPI™ or Microwire™. The DAC has a double-buffered
input, organized as an input register followed by a DAC
register. A 16-bit serial word loads data into the input
register. The DAC register can be updated independently or simultaneously with the input register. All logic
inputs are TTL/CMOS-logic compatible and buffered
with Schmitt triggers to allow direct interfacing to optocouplers.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX535/MAX5351 contain a 13-bit, voltage-output
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that is easily
addressed using a simple 3-wire serial interface. It
includes a 16-bit shift register, and has a doubledbuffered input composed of an input register and a
DAC register (see Functional Diagram). In addition to
the voltage output, the amplifier’s negative input is
available to the user.
The DAC is an inverted R-2R ladder network that converts a 13-bit digital input into an equivalent analog output voltage in proportion to the applied reference
voltage input. Figure 1 shows a simplified circuit diagram of the DAC.
code of 0000 hex. Because the input impedance at the
reference pin is code dependent, load regulation of the
reference source is important.
The REF reference input has a 14kΩ guaranteed minimum input impedance. A voltage reference with a load
regulation of 6ppm/mA, such as the MAX873, would
typically deviate by 0.0062LSB (0.009LSB worst case)
when driving the MAX535 reference input at 2.5V.
In shutdown mode, the MAX535/MAX5351’s REF input
enters a high-impedance state with a typical input leakage current of 0.001µA.
The reference input capacitance is also code dependent and typically ranges from 15pF (with an input
code of all 0s) to 50pF (with an input code of all 1s).
Reference Inputs
Output Amplifier
The reference input accepts positive DC and AC signals. The voltage at the reference input sets the fullscale output voltage for the DAC. The reference input
voltage range is 0V to (VDD - 1.4V). The output voltage
(VOUT) is represented by a digitally programmable voltage source as:
The MAX535/MAX5351’s DAC output is internally
buffered by a precision amplifier with a typical slew rate
of 0.6V/µs. Access to the output amplifier’s inverting
input provides the user greater flexibility in output gain
setting/signal conditioning (see the Applications
Information section).
With a full-scale transition at the MAX535/MAX5351 output, the typical settling time to ±1/2LSB is 16µs when
loaded with 5kΩ in parallel with 100pF (loads less than
2kΩ degrade performance).
The MAX535 output amplifier’s output dynamic responses and settling performances are shown in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
VOUT = (VREF x NB / 8192 ) x Gain
where NB is the numeric value of the DAC’s binary
input code (0 to 8191), VREF is the reference voltage,
and Gain is the externally set voltage gain.
The impedance at the reference input is code dependent, ranging from a low value of 14kΩ when the DAC
has an input code of 1555 hex, to a high value exceeding several giga ohms (leakage currents) with an input

Low-Power, 13-Bit Voltage-Output DACs
with Serial Interface
Shutdown Mode
The MAX535/MAX5351 feature a software-programmable
shutdown that reduces supply current to a typical value
of 4µA. Writing 111XXXXXXXXXXXXX as the input-control
word puts the MAX535/MAX5351 in shutdown mode
(Table 1).
In shutdown mode, the MAX535/MAX5351 output amplifier and the reference input enter a high-impedance
state. The serial interface remains active. Data in the
input registers is retained in shutdown, allowing the
MAX535/MAX5351 to recall the output state prior to
entering shutdown. Exit shutdown mode by either recalling the previous configuration or by updating the DAC
with new data. When powering up the device or bringing

The MAX535/MAX5351’s 3-wire serial interface is compatible with both Microwire™ (Figure 2) and
SPI™/QSPI™ (Figure 3). The serial input word consists
of three control bits followed by 13 data bits (MSB first),
as shown in Figure 4. The 3-bit control code determines
the MAX535/MAX5351’s response outlined in Table 1.
The MAX535/MAX5351’s digital inputs are double
buffered. Depending on the command issued through
the serial interface, the input register can be loaded
without affecting the DAC register, the DAC register
can be loaded directly, or the DAC register can be
updated from the input register (Table 1).

Serial-Interface Description
The MAX535/MAX5351 require 16 bits of serial data.
Table 1 lists the serial-interface programming commands. For certain commands, the 13 data bits are
“don’t cares.” Data is sent MSB first and can be sent in
two 8-bit packets or one 16-bit word (CS must remain
low until 16 bits are transferred). The serial data is composed of three control bits (C2, C1, C0), followed by the
13 data bits D12...D0 (Figure 4). The 3-bit control code
determines:
• The register to be updated
• The configuration when exiting shutdown
Figure 5 shows the serial-interface timing requirements.
The chip-select pin (CS) must be low to enable the DAC’s
serial interface. When CS is high, the interface control circuitry is disabled. CS must go low at least tCSS before the
rising serial clock (SCLK) edge to properly clock in the
first bit. When CS is low, data is clocked into the internal
shift register via the serial-data input pin (DIN) on SCLK’s
rising edge. The maximum guaranteed clock frequency is
10MHz. Data is latched into the MAX535/MAX5351
input/DAC register on CS’s rising edge.

Unipolar Output
For a unipolar output, the output voltage and the reference input have the same polarity. Figure 8 shows the
MAX535/MAX5351 unipolar output circuit, which is also
the typical operating circuit. Table 2 lists the unipolar
output codes.
For rail-to-rail output, see Figure 9. This circuit shows
the MAX535/MAX5351 with the output amplifier configured with a closed-loop gain of +2 to provide 0V to 5V
full-scale range when a 2.5V reference is used. When
using the MAX5351 with a 1.25V reference, this circuit
provides a 0V to 2.5V full-scale range.
Bipolar Output
The MAX535/MAX5351 output can be configured for
bipolar operation using Figure 10’s circuit.
VOUT = VREF [(2NB / 8192) - 1]
where NB is the numeric value of the DAC’s binary input
code. Table 3 shows digital codes (offset binary) and
the corresponding output voltage for Figure 10’s circuit.
12
ANALOG OUTPUT
Using an AC Reference
In applications where the reference has AC-signal components, the MAX535/MAX5351 have multiplying capability within the reference input range specifications.
Figure 11 shows a technique for applying a sine-wave
signal to the reference input where the AC signal is offset before being applied to REF. The reference voltage
must never be more negative than GND.

MAX535
MAX5351
The MAX535’s total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD
+ N) is typically less than -77dB (full-scale code), and
the MAX5351’s THD + N is typically less than -72dB
(full-scale code), given a 1Vp-p signal swing and input
frequencies up to 25kHz. The typical -3dB frequency is
650kHz for both devices, as shown in the Typical
Operating Characteristics graphs.
Digitally Programmable Current Source
The circuit of Figure 12 places an NPN transistor
(2N3904 or similar) within the op-amp feedback loop to
implement a digitally programmable, unidirectional current source. This circuit can be used to drive 4–20mA
current loops, which are commonly used in industrialcontrol applications. The output current is calculated
with the following equation:
IOUT = (VREF / R) x (NB / 8192)
where NB is the numeric value of the DAC’s binary
input code and R is the sense resistor shown in
Figure 12.

Digital or AC transient signals on GND can create noise
at the analog output. Tie GND to the highest-quality
ground available.
Good printed circuit board ground layout minimizes
crosstalk between the DAC output, reference input, and
digital input. Reduce crosstalk by keeping analog lines
away from digital lines. Wire-wrapped boards are not
recommended.

Power-Supply Considerations
On power-up, the input and DAC registers are cleared
(set to zero code).
For rated MAX535/MAX5351 performance, REF should
be at least 1.4V below VDD. Bypass VDD with a 4.7µF
capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
Use short lead lengths and place the bypass capacitors as close to the supply pins as possible.
