(DACs) include output buffers and an internal 3ppm/°C
reference that is selectable to be 2.048V, 2.500V, or
4.096V. The MAX5723/MAX5724/MAX5725 accept a
wide supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V with extremely
low power (6mW) consumption to accommodate most
low-voltage applications. A precision external reference
input allows rail-to-rail operation and presents a 100kI
(typ) load to an external reference.
The MAX5723/MAX5724/MAX5725 have a fast 50MHz,
4-wire SPI/QSPI™/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial
interface that operates at clock rates up to 50MHz. The
DAC output is buffered and has a low supply current
of less than 250FA per channel and a low offset error
of
Q0.5mV
(typ). On power-up, the MAX5723/MAX5724/
MAX5725 reset the DAC outputs to zero or midscale
based on the status of M/Z logic input, providing flex-
ibility for a variety of control applications. The internal
reference is initially powered down to allow use of an
external reference. The MAX5723/MAX5724/MAX5725
allow simultaneous output updates using software LOAD
commands or the hardware load DAC logic input (LDAC).
The MAX5723/MAX5724/MAX5725 feature a program-
mable watchdog function which can be enabled to moni-
tor the I/O interface for activity and integrity.
A clear logic input (CLR) allows the contents of the CODE
and the DAC registers to be cleared asynchronously and
simultaneously sets the DAC outputs to the program-
mable default value. The MAX5723/MAX5724/MAX5725
are available in a 20-pin TSSOP and an ultra-small,
20-bump WLP package and are specified over the -40NC
to +125NC temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion 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.
