Dual, 10-Bit, Current-Sink Output DAC
General Description
The MAX5547 dual, 10-bit, dual range, digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) sinks up to 3.6mA of current, making it
ideal for laser-driver-control applications. Parallel the
MAX5547 outputs to sink higher current (up to 7.2mA
max). Operating from a single +2.7V to +5.25V
supply, the MAX5547 typically consumes 1mA
(internal reference).
The MAX5547 operates from a precision +2.5V internal
4ppm/°C reference or an external reference in the
+2.45V to +2.55V range. The maximum full-scale cur-
rent-sink range is software programmable to 3.6mA or
1.2mA for each DAC. A 10MHz SPI™-compatible serial
interface configures the device.
The MAX5547 is available in a 3mm x 3mm x 0.8mm 8-
pin TDFN package and is specified over the -40°C to
+85°C extended temperature range.

SPI TIMING CHARACTERISTICS (see Figure 1)
Note 1:
Note 2:
Note 3:
Note 4:
Note 5:
Devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. Limits over temperature are guaranteed by design.
INL linearity is from code 48 to code 1023.
Specification based on characterization data. Not production tested.
Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.
The DACs continue to operate at currents lower than 50µA on the 1.2mA range and 150µA on the 3.6mA range. However,
performance is not guaranteed at these low currents. A code of all zeros has a nominal output current of 0µA.
Note 6:
Compliance voltage range is defined as the range where the output current is -2 LSB of its value at V
OUT
= +1V.
Note 7:
Settling time is measured from 0.25 x full scale to 0.75 x full scale.
Note 8:
The device draws higher supply current when the digital inputs are driven with voltages between (V
DD
- 0.5V) and (V
GND
+
0.5V). See Supply Current vs. Digital Input Voltage in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
