Dual, 8-Bit, Voltage-Output
Serial DAC in 8-Pin SOT23
General Description
The MAX5222 contains two 8-bit, buffered, voltage-out-
put digital-to-analog converters (DAC A and DAC B) in a
small 8-pin SOT23 package. Both DAC outputs can
source and sink 1mA to within 100mV of ground and
V
DD
. The MAX5222 operates with a single +2.7V to
+5.5V supply.
The device uses a 3-wire serial interface, which oper-
ates at clock rates up to 25MHz and is compatible with
SPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™ interface standards.
The serial input shift register is 16 bits long and con-
sists of 8 bits of DAC input data and 8 bits for DAC
selection and shutdown control. DAC registers can be
loaded independently or in parallel at the positive edge
of CS.
The MAX5222’s ultra-low power consumption and tiny
8-pin SOT23 package make it ideal for portable and
battery-powered applications. Supply current is less
than 1mA and drops below 1µA in shutdown mode. In
addition, the reference input is disconnected from the
REF pin during shutdown, further reducing the system’s
total power consumption.

Note 1:
The outputs may be shorted to V
DD
or GND if the package power dissipation is not exceeded. Typical short-circuit current to
GND is 70mA.
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 2:
Reduced digital code range (code 24 through code 232) is due to swing limitations of the output amplifiers. See
Typical
Operating Characteristics.
Note 3:
Reference input resistance is code dependent. The lowest input resistance occurs at code 55hex. See the
Reference Input
section.
Note 4:
Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.
