12-Bit DACs with 32-Channel
Sample-and-Hold Outputs
MAX5331/MAX5332/MAX5333
General Description
The MAX5331/MAX5332/MAX5333 are 12-bit digital-to-
analog converters (DACs) with 32 sample-and-hold
(SHA) outputs for applications where a high number of
programmable voltages are required. These devices
include a clock oscillator and a sequencer that updates
the DAC with codes from an internal SRAM. No external
components are required to set offset and gain.
The MAX5331/MAX5332/MAX5333 feature a -4.5V to
+9.2V output voltage range. Other features include a
3.2mV/step resolution, with output linearity error, typi-
cally 0.03% of full-scale range (FSR). The 100kHz
refresh rate updates each SHA every 320µs, resulting
in negligible output droop. Remote ground sensing
allows the outputs to be referenced to the local ground
of a separate device.
These devices are controlled through a 20MHz
SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™-compatible 3-wire serial
interface. Immediate update mode allows any channel’s
output to be updated within 20µs. Burst mode allows
multiple values to be loaded into memory in a single,
high-speed data burst. All channels are updated within
330µs of data being loaded.
Each device features an output clamp and output resis-
tors for filtering. The MAX5331 features a 50Ω output
impedance and is capable of driving up to 250pF of
output capacitance. The MAX5332 features a 500Ω out-
put impedance and is capable of driving up to 10nF of
output capacitance. The MAX5333 features a 1kΩ out-
put impedance and is capable of driving up to 10nF of
output capacitance.
The MAX5331/MAX5332/MAX5333 are available in 12mm
x 12mm, 64-pin TQFP and 10mm x 10mm, 68-pin thin
QFN packages.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
The nominal zero-scale voltage (code = 0) is -4.0535V. The nominal full-scale voltage (code = FFF hex) is +9.0503V. The
output voltage is limited by the output range specification, restricting the usable range of DAC codes. The nominal zero-
scale voltage can be achieved when V
SS
< -4.9V, and the nominal full-scale voltage can be achieved when V
DD
> +11.5V.
Note 2:
Gain is calculated from measurements:
for voltages V
DD
= 10V and V
SS
= -4V at codes C00 hex and 4F3 hex
for voltages V
DD
= 11.6V and V
SS
= -2.9V at codes FFF hex and 253 hex
for voltages V
DD
= 9.25V and V
SS
= -5.25V at codes D4F hex and 0 hex
for voltages V
DD
= 8.55V and V
SS
= -2.75V at codes C75 hex and 282 hex
Note 3:
Steady-state change in any output with an 8V change in an adjacent output.
Note 4:
Settling during the first update for an 8V step. The output will settle to within the linearity specification on subsequent
updates. Tested with an external sequencer clock frequency of 480kHz.
Note 5:
External clock mode with the external clock not toggling.
Note 6:
The output voltage is the sum of the DAC output and the voltage at GS. GS gain is measured at 4F3 hex.
Note 7:
The sequencer runs at f
SEQ
= f
ECLK
/ 4. Maximum speed is limited by settling of the DAC and SHAs. Minimum speed is
limited by acceptable droop and update time after a burst-mode update.
Note 8:
