Figure 7 shows the MAX5236/MAX5237 configured for
unipolar, rail-to-rail operation with a gain of 1.6384V/V.
The MAX5237 produces a 0 to 4.092V output with 2.5V
reference, while the MAX5236 produces a range of 0 to
2.046V output with a 1.25V reference. Table 4 lists the
unipolar output codes.
The MAX5236/MAX5237 can be configured for a bipo-
lar output, as shown in Figure 8. The output voltage is
given by the equation:
where NB represents the numeric value of the DAC’s
binary input code. Table 5 shows digital codes and the
corresponding output voltage for Figure 8’s circuit.
In applications where the reference has an AC signal
component, the MAX5236/MAX5237 have multiplying

Load input register A; DAC registers are unchanged.
Load input register A; all DAC registers are updated.
Load all DAC registers from the shift register (start up both DACs
with new data, and load the input registers).
Update both DAC registers from their respective input registers
(start up both DACs with data previously stored in the input
registers).
Load input register B; DAC registers are unchanged.
Load input register B; all DAC registers are updated.
Power down both DACs respectively according to bits P1A and
P1B (see Table 3). Internal bias remains active.
Update DAC register A from input register A (start up DAC A with
data previously stored in input register A).
Full power-down. Power down the main bias generator and
power down both DACs respectively according to bits P1A and
P1B (see Table 3).
Update DAC register B from input register B (start up DAC B with
data previously stored in input register B).
Power down DAC A according to bit P1A (see Table 3).
Power down DAC B according to bit P1B (see Table 3).

specifications. Figure 9 shows a technique for applying
a sinusoidal input to REF_, where the AC signal is offset
before being applied to the reference input.
Figure 10 shows the MAX5236/MAX5237 in a digital
calibration application. With a bright light value applied
to the photodiode (on), the DAC is digitally ramped until
it trips the comparator. The microprocessor (µP) stores
this “high” calibration value. Repeat the process with a
dim light (off) to obtain the dark current calibration. The
µP then programs the DAC to set an output voltage at
