General Description

The MAX5510/MAX5511 are single, 8-bit, ultra-lowpower, voltage-output, digital-to-analog converters (DACs) offering Rail-to-Rail®buffered voltage outputs. The DACs operate from a 1.8V to 5.5V supply and consume less than 6µA, making them desirable for lowpower and low-voltage applications. A shutdown mode reduces overall current, including the reference input current, to just 0.18µA. The MAX5510/MAX5511 use a 3-wire serial interface that is compatible with SPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™.

At power-up, the MAX5510/MAX5511 outputs are driven to zero scale, providing additional safety for applications that drive valves or for other transducers that must be off during power-up. The zero-scale outputs enable glitch-free power-up.

The MAX5510 accepts an external reference input. The MAX5511 contains an internal reference and provides an external reference output. Both devices have forcesense-configured output buffers.

The MAX5510/MAX5511 are available in a 4mm x 4mm x 0.8mm, 12-pin, thin QFN package and are guaranteed over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

For 12-bit compatible devices, refer to the MAX5530/ MAX5531 data sheet. For 10-bit compatible devices, refer to the MAX5520/MAX5521 data sheet.

Detailed Description

The MAX5510/MAX5511 single, 8-bit, ultra-low-power, voltage-output DACs offer Rail-to-Rail buffered voltage outputs. The DACs operate from a 1.8V to 5.5V supply and require only 6µA (max) supply current. These devices feature a shutdown mode that reduces overall current, including the reference input current, to just

0.18µA. The MAX5511 includes an internal reference that saves additional board space and can source up to 8mA, making it functional as a system reference. The 16MHz, 3-wire serial interface is compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols. When VDDis applied, all DAC outputs are driven to zero scale with virtually no output glitch. The MAX5510/MAX5511 output buffers are configured in force sense allowing users to externally set voltage gains on the output (an outputamplifier inverting input is available). These devices come in a 4mm x 4mm thin QFN package.

Digital Interface

The MAX5510/MAX5511 use a 3-wire serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols (Figures 1 and 2).

The MAX5510/MAX5511 include a single, 16-bit, input shift register. Data loads into the shift register through the serial interface. CS must remain low until all 16 bits are clocked in. Data loads MSB first, D9–D0. The 16 bits consist of 4 control bits (C3–C0), 8 data bits (D7–D0), and 4 sub-bits. (see Table 1). D7–D0 are the DAC data bits and S3–S0 are the sub-bits. The sub-bits must be set to zero for proper operation. The control bits C3–C0 control the MAX5510/MAX5511, as outlined in Table 2.

Each DAC channel includes two registers: an input register and a DAC register. The input register holds input data. The DAC register contains the data updated to the DAC output.

The double-buffered register configuration allows any of the following:

• Loading the input registers without updating the DAC registers

• Updating the DAC registers from the input registers

• Updating all the input and DAC registers simultaneously

Power Modes

The MAX5510/MAX5511 feature two power modes to conserve power during idle periods. In normal operation, the device is fully operational. In shutdown mode, the device is completely powered down, including the internal voltage reference in the MAX5511. The MAX5511 also offers a standby mode where all circuitry is powered down except the internal voltage reference. Standby mode keeps the reference powered up while the remaining circuitry is shut down, allowing it to be used as a system reference. Standby mode also helps reduce the wake-up delay by not requiring the reference to power up when returning to normal operation.

Shutdown Mode

The MAX5510/MAX5511 feature a software-programmable shutdown mode that reduces the typical supply current and the reference input current to 0.18µA (max). Writing an input control word with control bits C[3:0] = 1110 places the device in shutdown mode (Table 2). In shutdown, the MAX5510 reference input and DAC output buffers go high impedance. Placing the MAX5511 into shutdown turns off the internal reference, and the DAC output buffers go high impedance. The serial interface remains active for all devices.

Table 2 shows several commands that bring the MAX5510/MAX5511 back to normal operation. The power-up time from shutdown is required before the DAC outputs are valid.

Note: For the MAX5511, standby mode cannot be entered directly from shutdown mode. The device must be brought into normal operation before entering standby mode.

Standby Mode (MAX5511 Only)

The MAX5511 features a software-programmable standby mode that reduces the typical supply current to 6µA. Standby mode powers down all circuitry except the internal voltage reference. Place the device in standby mode by writing an input control word with control bits C[3:0] = 1100 (Table 2). The internal reference and serial interface remain active while the DAC output buffers go high impedance. If the MAX5511 is coming out of standby, the power-up time from standby is required before the DAC outputs are valid.

For the MAX5511, standby mode cannot be entered

directly from shutdown mode. The device must be brought into normal operation before entering standby mode. To enter standby from shutdown, issue the command to return to normal operation, followed immediately by the command to go into standby.

Table 2 shows several commands that bring the MAX5511 back to normal operation. When transitioning from standby mode to normal operation, only the DAC power-up time is required before the DAC outputs are valid.

Reference Input

The MAX5510 accepts a reference with a voltage range extending from 0 to VDD. The output voltage (V

OUT

) is represented by a digitally programmable voltage source as:

OUT

= (V

REF

x N / 256) x gain

where N is the numeric value of the DAC’s binary input code (0 to 255), V

REF

is the reference voltage and gain is the externally set voltage gain for the MAX5510/ MAX5511.

In shutdown mode, the reference input enters a highimpedance state with an input impedance of 2.5GΩ (typ).

Reference Output

The MAX5511 internal voltage reference is software configurable to one of four voltages. Upon power-up, the default reference voltage is 1.214V. Configure the reference voltage using the D6 and D7 data bits (Table

3) when the control bits are as follows: C[3:0] = 1100, 1101, or 1110 (Table 2). VDDmust be kept at a minimum of 200mV above V

REF

for proper operation.

Unipolar Output

Figure 7 shows the MAX5510 in a unipolar output configuration with unity gain. Table 4 lists the unipolar output codes.

Bipolar Output

The MAX5510 output can be configured for bipolar operation, as shown in Figure 8. The output voltage is given by the following equation:

OUT

= V

REF

x [(NA- 128) / 128]

where NA represents the numeric value of the DAC’s binary input code. Table 5 shows digital codes (offset binary) and the corresponding output voltage for the circuit in Figure 4.

Configurable Output Gain

The MAX5510/MAX5511 have a force-sense output, which provides a connection directly to the inverting terminal of the output op amp, yielding the most flexibility. The advantage of the force-sense output is that specific gains can be set externally for a given application. The gain error for the MAX5510/MAX5511 is specified in a unity-gain configuration (op-amp output and inverting terminals connected), and additional gain error results from external resistor tolerances. Another advantage of the force-sense DAC is that it allows many useful circuits to be created with only a few simple external components.

Power Supply and Bypassing

Considerations

Bypass the power supply with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND. Minimize lengths to reduce lead inductance. If noise becomes an issue, use shielding and/or ferrite beads to increase isolation. For the thin QFN package, connect the exposed paddle to ground.

Layout Considerations

Digital and AC transient signals coupling to GND can create noise at the output. Use proper grounding techniques, such as a multilayer board with a low-inductance ground plane. Wire-wrapped boards and sockets are not recommended. For optimum system performance, use printed circuit (PC) boards. Good PC board ground layout minimizes crosstalk between DAC outputs, reference inputs, and digital inputs. Reduce crosstalk by keeping analog lines away from digital lines.
