Low-Cost, Low-Power, 8-Bit DACs with 3-Wire
Serial Interface in SOT23
General Description
The MAX5383/MAX5384/MAX5385 low-cost, 8-bit digital-
to-analog converters (DACs) in miniature 6-pin SOT23
packages have a simple 3-wire, SPI™/QSPI™/
MICROWIRE™-compatible serial interface that operates
up to 10MHz. The MAX5383 has an internal +2V refer-
ence and operates from a +2.7V to +3.6V supply. The
MAX5384 has an internal +4V reference and operates
from a +4.5V to +5.5V supply. The MAX5385 operates
over the full +2.7V to +5.5V supply range and has an
internal reference equal to 0.9
V
DD
.
The MAX5383/MAX5384/MAX5385 require an extremely
low supply current of only 150µA (typ) and provide a
buffered voltage output. These devices power up at zero
code and remain there until a new code is written to the
DAC registers. This provides additional safety for appli-
cations that drive valves or other transducers that need
to be off on power-up. The MAX5383/MAX5384/
MAX5385 include a 1µA, low-power shutdown mode that
features software-selectable output loads of 1kΩ, 100kΩ,
or 1MΩ to ground.

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.

The offset value extrapolated from the range over which the INL is guaranteed.
MAX5385 tested at 5V ±10%.
MAX5383 tested at 3V ±10%; MAX5384 tested at 5V ±10%.
Actual output voltages at full-scale are 255/256
