General Description
The MAX5134 is a low-power, quad 16-bit, buffered voltage-output, high-linearity digital-to-analog converter
(DAC). It uses a precision internal reference or a precision external reference for rail-to-rail operation. The
MAX5134 accepts a wide +2.7V to +5.25V supply-voltage range to accommodate most low-power and lowvoltage applications. The device accepts a 3-wire
SPITM-/QSPITM-/MICROWIRETM-/DSP-compatible serial
interface to save board space and reduce the complexity of optically isolated and transformer-isolated applications. The digital interface’s double-buffered hardware
and software LDAC provide simultaneous output update.
The serial interface features a READY output for easy
daisy-chaining of several MAX5134 devices and/or other
compatible devices. The MAX5134 includes a hardware
input to power-up or reset the DAC outputs to zero or
midscale, providing additional safety for applications that
drive valves or other transducers that need to be off during power-up. The high linearity of the DACs makes
these devices ideal for precision control and instrumentation applications. The MAX5134 is available in an ultrasmall (4mm x 4mm), 24-pin TQFN package and is
specified over the -40°C to +105°C extended industrial
temperature range.

Note 1: Static accuracy tested without load.
Note 2: Linearity is tested within 20mV of GND and AVDD
,
allowing for gain and offset error.
Note 3: Codes above 2047 are guaranteed to be within ±8 LSB
.
Note 4: Gain and offset tested within 100mV of GND and AVDD
.
Note 5: Guaranteed by design.
Note 6: Device draws current in excess of the specified supply current when a digital input is driven with a voltage of VI < DVDD - 0.6V
or VI > 0.5V. At VI = 2.2V with DVDD = 5.25V, this current can be as high as 2mA. The SPI inputs are CMOS-input level compatible. The 30MHz clock frequency cannot be guaranteed for a minimum signal swing.
Note 7: Excess current from AVDD is 10mA when powered without DVDD. Excess current from DVDD is 1mA when powered without
AVDD.
Note 8: All timing specifications are with respect to the digital input and output thresholds.
Note 9: Maximum daisy-chain clock frequency is limited to 25MHz.
