Rainbow Electronics MAX5233 User Manual

General Description

The MAX5232/MAX5233 low-power, dual 10-bit voltage­output digital-to-analog converters (DACs) feature an
internal 10ppm/°C precision bandgap voltage reference
and precision output amplifiers. The MAX5233 operates
on a single 5V supply with an internal 2.465V reference
and features a 4.092V full-scale output range. The
MAX5232 operates on a single 3V supply with an internal

1.234V reference and features a 2.046V full-scale output
range. The MAX5233 consumes only 470µA while the
MAX5232 consumes only 420µA of supply current. Both
devices feature low-power (2µA) software- and hard­ware-enabled shutdown modes.

The MAX5232/MAX5233 feature a 13.5MHz SPI™-,
QSPI™-, and MICROWIRE™-compatible 3-wire serial
interface. An additional data output (DOUT) allows for
daisy-chaining and read back. Each DAC has a double­buffered digital input. The MAX5232/MAX5233 feature
two software-selectable shutdown output impedances:
1kΩ or 200kΩ. A power-up reset feature sets DAC out­puts at ground or at the midscale DAC code.

The MAX5232/MAX5233 are specified over the extended
temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and are available in
16-pin QSOP packages.

Note 1: Accuracy is guaranteed as shown in the following table:

Note 2: Offset is measured at the code closest to 12mV.
Note 3: Temperature coefficient is determined by the box method in which the maximum ∆V

OUT

over the temperature range is

divided by ∆T.

Note 4: DC crosstalk is measured as follows: set DAC A to midscale, and DAC B to zero, and measure DAC A output; then change

DAC B to full scale, and measure ∆V

OUT

for DAC A. Repeat the same measurement with DAC A and DAC B interchanged.

DC crosstalk is the maximum ∆V

OUT

measured.

Note 5: Accuracy is better than 1LSB for V

OUT_

= 12mV to VDD- 180mV.

Note 6: Guaranteed by design, not production tested.
Note 7: R

= ∞ and digital inputs are at either VDDor DGND.
