Nonvolatile, Quad, 8-Bit DACs with 2-Wire Serial
Interface
General Description
The MAX5115/MAX5116 quad, 8-bit, digital-to-analog
converters (DACs) feature nonvolatile registers. These
nonvolatile registers store the DAC operating modes
and output states, allowing the DACs to initialize to
specified configurations at power-up.
Precision on-chip output buffers swing rail-to-rail, and
provide 8µs settling time. The I
2
C*-compatible, 2-wire
serial interface allows for a maximum clock frequency
of 400kHz.
The MAX5115 has independent high and low reference
inputs allowing maximum output voltage range flexibili-
ty. The MAX5116 has single high and low reference
inputs for all DACs to minimize trace count and save
board space. The reference rails accept voltage inputs
that range from ground to the positive supply rail.
The devices operate from a single +2.7V to +5.25V sup-
ply and consume 200µA per DAC. A software-controlled
power-down mode decreases supply current to less
than 25µA. A software-controlled mute mode sets each
DAC, or both DACs simultaneously, to their respective
REFL_ voltages. The MAX5116 also includes an asyn-
chronous
MUTE
input, that drives all DAC outputs simul-
taneously to their respective REFL_ voltages.
The MAX5115 is available in a 20-pin QSOP, and the
MAX5116 is available in a 16-pin QSOP package. Both
devices are specified for operation over the extended
(-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

Note 1:
All devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 2:
Guaranteed monotonic.
Note 3:
Gain error is defined as:
256
×
(V
F0,Meas
−
ZCE
−
V
F0,Ideal
)
V
REFH _
where V
F0,Meas
is the DAC voltage with input code F0 hex and V
F0,Ideal
is the ideal DAC voltage with input code F0 hex or
(V
REFH
- V
REFL
) x (240 / 256) + V
REFL
.
Note 4:
The device draws higher supply current when the digital inputs are driven with voltages between (V
DD
- 0.5V) and (GND +
0.5V). See Supply Current vs. Digital Input Voltage in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
Note 5:
Output settling time is measured from the 50% point of the rising edge of the last SCL of the data byte to 0.5 LSB of OUT_’s
final value for a code transition from 10 hex to F0 hex.
Note 6:
Crosstalk is defined as the coupling from a DAC switching from code 00 hex to code FF hex to any other DAC that is in a
steady state at code 00 hex.
Note 7:
Reference feedthrough is defined as the coupling from one driven reference with input code = FF hex to any other DAC
output with the reference of the DAC at a constant value and input code = 00 hex.
Note 8:
SCL clock period includes rise and fall times t
R
and t
F
. All digital input signals are specified with t
R
= t
F
= 2ns and timed
from a voltage level of (V
IL
+ V
IH
) / 2.
Note 9:
An appropriate bus pullup resistance must be selected depending on board capacitance. Refer to the document linked to
this web address: www.semiconductors.philips.com/acrobat/literature/9398/39340011.pdf.
Note 10:
The busy time begins from the initiation of the stop pulse.
