The MAX5154/MAX5155 dual, 12-bit, voltage-output
DACs are easily configured with a 3-wire serial inter-
face. These devices include a 16-bit data-in/data-out
shift register, and each DAC has a double-buffered
input composed of an input register and a DAC register
(see Functional Diagram ). In addition, trimmed internal
resistors produce an internal gain of +2V/V that maxi-
mizes output voltage swing. The amplifier’s offset-adjust
pin allows for a DC shift in the DAC’s output.
Both DACs use an inverted R-2R ladder network that pro-
duces a weighted voltage proportional to the input volt-
age value. Each DAC has its own reference input to
facilitate independent full-scale values. Figure 1 depicts a
simplified circuit diagram of one of the two DACs.
The reference inputs accept both AC and DC values
with a voltage range extending from 0V to (V
Determine the output voltage using the following equa-
tion (OS_ = AGND):

The reference input impedance ranges from 14kΩ (1554
hex) to several giga ohms (with an input code of 0000
hex). The reference input capacitance is code dependent
and typically ranges from 15pF with an input code of all
zeros to 50pF with a full-scale input code.
The output amplifiers on the MAX5154/MAX5155 have
internal resistors that provide for a gain of +2V/V when
OS_ is connected to AGND. These resistors are
trimmed to minimize gain error. The output amplifiers
have a typical slew rate of 0.75V/µs and settle to
1/2LSB within 15µs, with a load of 10kΩ in parallel with
100pF. Loads less than 2kΩ degrade performance.
The OS_ pin can be used to produce an adjustable off-
set voltage at the output. For instance, to achieve a 1V
offset, apply -1V to the OS_ pin to produce an output
range from 1V to (1V + V
output range is still limited by the maximum output volt-
age specification.
The MAX5154/MAX5155 feature a software-program-
mable shutdown mode that reduces the typical supply
current to 2µA. The two DACs can be shutdown inde-
pendently, or simultaneously using the appropriate pro-
gramming command. Enter shutdown mode by writing
the appropriate input-control word (Table 1). In shut-
down mode, the reference inputs
puts become high impedance, and the serial
