• Manufacturer Part Number: max5152bmje
• Description: Low-power, Dual, 13-bit Voltage-output Dacs With Configurable Outputs
• Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.

Figure 15 depicts a digitally programmable, unidirec-
tional current source that can be used in industrial con-
trol applications. The output current is:
where NB is the DAC code and R is the sense resistor.
On power-up, the input and DAC registers clear (reset
to zero code). For rated performance, V
at least 1.4V below V
a 4.7µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF capacitor to
GND. Minimize lead lengths to reduce lead inductance.
Digital and AC transient signals on AGND can create
noise at the output. Connect AGND to the highest quali-
ty ground available. Use proper grounding techniques,
such as a multilayer board with an unbroken, low-
inductance ground plane. Carefully lay out the traces
between channels to reduce AC cross-coupling and
crosstalk. Wire-wrapped boards and sockets are not
recommended. If noise becomes an issue, shielding
may be required.
