Detailed Description
The MAX5232/MAX5233 10-bit, voltage-output DACs
are easily configured with a 3-wire SPI-, QSPI-,
MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. The devices
include a 16-bit data-in/data-out shift register and have
an input consisting of an input register and a DAC reg-
ister. In addition, these devices employ precision
trimmed internal resistors to produce a gain of
1.6384V/V, maximizing the output voltage swing, and a
programmable-shutdown output impedance of 1kΩ or
200kΩ The full-scale output voltage is 4.092V for the
MAX5233 and 2.046V for the MAX5232. These devices
produce a weighted output voltage proportional to the
digital input code with an inverted Rail-to-Rail
®
ladder
network (Figure 3).
Internal Reference
The MAX5230/MAX5231 use an on-board precision
bandgap reference to generate an output voltage of
1.234V (MAX5232) or 2.465V (MAX5233). With a low
temperature coefficient of only 10ppm/°C, REF can
source up to 100µA and is stable for capacitive loads
less than 200pF.
Output Amplifiers
The output amplifiers have internal resistors that pro-
vide for a gain of 1.6384V/V when OS_ is connected to
AGND. The output amplifiers have a typical slew rate of
0.6V/µs and settle to 1/2LSB within 10µs with a load of
5kΩ in parallel with 100pF. Use the serial interface to
set the shutdown output impedance of the amplifiers to
1kΩ or 200kΩ.
OS_ can be used to produce an offset voltage at the
output. For instance, to achieve a 1V offset, apply -1V
to OS_ to produce an output range from 1V to (1V +
V
FS
/V
REF
). Note that the DAC’s output range is still lim-
ited by the maximum output voltage specification.
