Serial-data transfer minimizes the number of package pins required. The MAX5544 is composed of two matched DAC sections, with a 12-bit inverted R-2R DAC forming the 12LSBs and the 4MSBs derived from 15 identically matched resistors. This architecture allows the lowest glitch energy to be transferred to the DAC output on major-carry transitions. It also decreases the DAC output impedance by a factor of eight compared to a standard R-2R ladder, allowing unbuffered operation in medium-load applications. Figure 1 is the timing diagram. Digital Interface The MAX5544 digital interface is a standard 3-wire connection compatible with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE interfaces. The chip-select input (CS) frames the serial data loading at the data input pin (DIN). Immediately following CS’s high-to-low transition, the data is shifted synchronously and latched into the input register on the rising edge of the serial-clock input (SCLK). After 16 data bits (14 data bits, plus two sub-bits set to zero) have been loaded into the serial input register, it transfers its contents to the DAC latch on CS’s low-to-high transition (Figure 2). Note that if CS does not remain low during the entire 16 SCLK cycles, data will be corrupted. In this case, reload the DAC latch with a new 16-bit word. External Reference The MAX5544 operates with external voltage references from 2V to 3V. The reference voltage determines the DAC’s full-scale output voltage. Power-On Reset The MAX5544 has a power-on reset circuit to set the DAC’s output to 0V in unipolar mode when VDD is first applied. This ensures that unwanted DAC output voltages will not occur immediately following a system power-up, such as after power loss. In bipolar mode, the DAC output is set to -VREF. ;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;; ; ; ;; tCSH1 CS tCSHO tCSSO tCH tCSS1 tCL SCLK tDH tDS D13 DIN D12 S0 Figure 1.

Ideally, the reference’s temperature coefficient should be less than 1.5ppm/°C to maintain 14-bit accuracy to within 1LSB over the commercial (0°C to +70°C) temperature range. Since this converter is designed as an inverted R-2R voltage-mode DAC, the input resistance seen by the voltage reference is code dependent. The worstcase input-resistance variation is from 11.5kΩ (at code 8555 hex) to 200kΩ (at code 0000 hex). The maximum change in load current for a 2.5V reference is 2.5V / 11.5kΩ = 217µA; therefore, the required load regulation is 28ppm/mA for a maximum error of 0.1LSB. This implies a reference output impedance of 60kΩ) without degradation of INL or DNL; only the gain error is increased by externally loading the DAC output. External Output Buffer Amplifier In unipolar mode, the output amplifier is used in a voltage-follower connection. The DAC’s output resistance is constant and is independent of input code; however, the output amplifier’s input impedance should still be as high as possible to minimize gain errors. The DAC’s output capacitance is also independent of input code, thus simplifying stability requirements on the external amplifier. In single-supply applications, precision amplifiers with input common-mode ranges including AGND are available; however, their output swings do not normally include the negative rail (AGND) without significant performance degradation. A single-supply op amp, such as the MAX495, is suitable if the application does not use codes near zero. Since the LSBs for a 14-bit DAC are extremely small (152.6µV for VREF = 2.5V), pay close attention to the external amplifier’s input specification. The input offset voltage can degrade the zero-scale error and might require an output offset trim to maintain full accuracy if the offset voltage is greater than 1/2LSB. Similarly, the input bias current multiplied by the DAC output resistance (typically 6.25kΩ) contributes to the zero-scale error. Temperature effects also must be taken into consideration. Over the commercial temperature range, the offset voltage temperature coefficient (referenced to +25°C) must be less than 1.7µV/°C to add less than 1/2LSB of zero-scale error. The external amplifier’s input resistance forms a resistive divider with the DAC output resistance, which results in a gain error. To contribute less than 1/2LSB of gain error, the input resistance typically must be greater than: 6.25kΩ / 1 1    = 205MΩ 2  214  The settling time is affected by the buffer input capacitance, the DAC’s output capacitance, and PC board capacitance. The typical DAC output voltage settling time is 1µs for a full-scale step. Settling time can be significantly less for smaller step changes. Assuming a single time-constant exponential settling response, a full-scale step takes 10.4 time constants to settle to within 1/2LSB of the final output voltage. The time constant is equal to the DAC output resistance multiplied by the total output capacitance. The DAC output capacitance is typically 10pF. Any additional output capacitance will increase the settling time. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX5544 Applications Information MAX5544 Low-Cost, +5V, Serial-Input, Voltage-Output, 14-Bit DAC The external buffer amplifier’s gain-bandwidth product is important because it increases the settling time by adding another time constant to the output response. The effective time constant of two cascaded systems, each with a single time-constant response, is approximately the root square sum of the two time constants. The DAC output’s time constant is 1µs / 10.4 = 96ns, ignoring the effect of additional capacitance. If the time constant of an external amplifier with 1MHz bandwidth is 1 / 2π (1MHz) = 159ns, then the effective time constant of the combined system is:  2 2  96ns + 159ns  = 186ns     ( ) ( ) This suggests that the settling time to within 1/2LSB of the final output voltage, including the external buffer amplifier, will be approximately 10.4 • 186ns = 1.93µs. Digital Inputs and Interface Logic The digital interface for the 14-bit DAC is based on a 3wire standard that is SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatible. The three digital inputs (CS, DIN, and SCLK) load the digital input data serially into the DAC. All of the digital inputs include Schmitt-trigger buffers to accept slow-transition interfaces. This means that optocouplers can interface directly to the MAX5544 without additional external logic. The digital inputs are TTL/ CMOS-logic compatible. Unipolar Configuration Figure 3 shows the MAX5544 configured for unipolar operation with an external op amp. The op amp is set for unity gain, and Table 1 shows the codes for this circuit. +2.5V +5V Table 1.

Wire-wrap boards are not recommended. Connect the two ground planes together at the low-impedance power-supply source. Connect DGND and AGND together at the IC. The best ground connection can be achieved by connecting the DAC’s DGND and AGND pins together and connecting that point to the system analog ground plane. If the DAC’s DGND is connected to the system digital ground, digital noise may get through to the DAC’s analog portion. Bypass VDD with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor connected between V DD and AGND. Mount it with short leads close to the device. Ferrite beads can also be used to further isolate the analog and digital power supplies.
