Low-Power, 12-Bit Voltage-Output DAC
with Serial Interface
__________________General Description
The MAX5302 combines a low-power, voltage-output,
12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a precision
output amplifier in an 8-pin µMAX package. It operates
from a single +5V supply, drawing less than 280µA of
supply current.
The output amplifier’s inverting input is available to the
user, allowing specific gain configurations, remote sens-
ing, and high output current capability. This makes the
MAX5302 ideal for a wide range of applications, includ-
ing industrial process control. Other features include a
software shutdown and power-on reset.
The serial interface is SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™ com-
patible. The DAC has a double-buffered input, organized
as an input register followed by a DAC register. A 16-bit
serial word loads data into the input register. The DAC
register can be updated independently or simultaneously
with the input register. All logic inputs are TTL/CMOS-
logic compatible and buffered with Schmitt triggers to
allow direct interfacing to optocouplers.

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.
