Dual, Serial-Input,
Voltage-Output, 12-Bit MDAC
_______________General Description
The MAX532 is a complete, dual, serial-input, 12-bit
multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) with out-
put amplifiers. No external user trims are required to
achieve full specified performance. The MAX532’s 3-
wire serial interface minimizes the number of package
pins, so it uses less board space than parallel-interface
parts. The interface is SPI™, QSPI™ and Microwire™
compatible. A serial output, DOUT, allows cascading
of two or more MAX532s and read-back of the data
written to the device.
The device’s serial interface minimizes digital-noise
feedthrough from its logic pins to its analog outputs.
Serial interfacing also simplifies opto-coupler-isolated
or transformer-isolated applications.
The MAX532 is specified with ±12V to ±15V power sup-
plies. All logic inputs are TTL and CMOS compatible. It
comes in space-saving 16-pin DIP and wide SO packages.

Note 1:
If V
SS
is open-circuited with V
DD
and either AGND applied, the V
SS
pin will float positive, exceeding the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
A Schottky diode connected between V
SS
and GND ensures the maximum ratings will not be exceeded.
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.
