General Description
The MAX5547 dual, 10-bit, dual range, digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) sinks up to 3.6mA of current, making it
ideal for laser-driver-control applications. Parallel the
MAX5547 outputs to sink higher current (up to 7.2mA
max). Operating from a single +2.7V to +5.25V
supply, the MAX5547 typically consumes 1mA
(internal reference).
The MAX5547 operates from a precision +2.5V internal
4ppm/°C reference or an external reference in the
+2.45V to +2.55V range. The maximum full-scale current-sink range is software programmable to 3.6mA or
1.2mA for each DAC. A 10MHz SPI™-compatible serial
interface configures the device.
The MAX5547 is available in a 3mm x 3mm x 0.8mm 8pin TDFN package and is specified over the -40°C to
+85°C extended temperature range.

Note 1: Devices are 100% production tested at TA= +25°C. Limits over temperature are guaranteed by design.
Note 2: INL linearity is from code 48 to code 1023.
Note 3: Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.
Note 4: The DACs continue to operate at currents lower than 50µA on the 1.2mA range and 150µA on the 3.6mA range. However,
performance is not guaranteed at these low currents. A code of all zeros has a nominal output current of 0µA.

OUT
= +1V.
Note 6: Settling time is measured from 0.25 x full scale to 0.75 x full scale.
Note 7: 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.

MAX5547
Detailed Description
The MAX5547 10-bit, dual-range, current-sink DAC
operates with serial data clock rates up to 10MHz. The
double-buffered DAC input consists of a 16-bit input
register and two 10-bit DAC registers, followed by a
current-steering array (see the Functional Diagram).
The MAX5547 sinks full-scale output currents of 1.2mA
or 3.6mA per DAC. Each DAC’s full-scale current can
be independently programmed.
Operating from a single +2.7V to +5.25V supply, the
MAX5547 typically consumes 1mA. The MAX5547
operates from an internal +2.5V reference or an external reference in the +2.45V to +2.55V range.
The MAX5547 is ideal as the digital/analog interface for
laser-diode drivers with current-controlled inputs, such
as the MAX3736 (see the Typical Operating Circuit).
Set the current levels at the MAX3736’s MODSET and
BIASSET current-controlled inputs from the MAX5547’s
DAC outputs. The MAX3736’s MODSET and BIASSET
lines set the laser driver’s desired modulation and bias
currents.
Reference Architecture and Operation
The MAX5547 operates from an internal +2.5V reference or accepts an external reference voltage source
between +2.45V and +2.55V. The internal reference is
capable of sinking up to 50µA and sourcing up to
300µA. REF serves as the input for a low-impedance
reference source in external reference mode. Bypass
REF to GND with a ceramic capacitor in the 0.1µF to
10µF range, as close to the device as possible, in both
internal and external reference modes.
During startup, when power is first applied, the
MAX5547 defaults to external reference mode, and to
the 1.2mA full-scale current-range mode. Use software
commands to select internal reference mode and
3.6mA full-scale current-range mode (see Table 1).
DAC Data
The MAX5547‘s internal registers set the DAC full-scale
output currents (IFS) to 1.2mA or 3.6mA (see Table 1).
The 10-bit DAC data is decoded as straight binary,
with 1 LSB = IFS/ 1023, and converted into the corresponding current as shown in Table 2.
Serial Interface
The MAX5547 operates through a 3-wire, 10MHz SPIcompatible serial interface. CS, SCLK, and DIN control
the serial interface timing and data. Ensure the SPI bus
master, typically a microcontroller (µC), runs in master
mode so that it generates the serial clock signal. Select
an SCLK frequency of 10MHz or less and set the clock
polarity (CPOL) and phase (CPHA) in the µC control
registers to opposite values. The MAX5547 operates
with SCLK idling high or low. Therefore, set CPOL = 0
and CPHA = 1, or CPOL = 1 and CPHA = 0.

NAME
OUTB
OUTA

Set CS low to begin clocking input data at DIN on the
falling edge of SCLK (see Figure 1). Serial communications to the shift register consist of a 16-bit command
word loaded from DIN. The first four control bits
(C3–C0) determine the target register (see Table 1).
The next 10 data bits set the current-sink level. D9 is
the MSB and D0 the LSB. Set bits S1 and S0 to zero for
proper operation. Data is latched into the appropriate
DAC register on the 16th SCLK falling edge. After writing 16 bits, drive CS high. Keep CS low throughout the
entire 16-bit word.
Write the command word to configure DAC registers A
and B individually or both registers at the same time.
The command word also determines whether the DACs
use the internal or external reference.
The MAX5547 powers up in external reference mode with
DAC registers A and B set to I
FS
= 1.2mA at code 000h.
Applications Information
Power Sequencing
Ensure the voltages applied at REF, OUTA, and OUTB
do not exceed VDDat any time. If proper power
sequencing is not possible, connect an external
Schottky diode between REF/OUTA/OUTB and VDDto
ensure compliance with the absolute maximum ratings.
Power-Supply Bypassing and Ground
Management
Digital or AC transient signals on GND create noise at
the analog output. Return GND to the highest quality
ground plane available. For extremely noisy environments, bypass both REF and VDDto GND with 10µF
and 0.1µF capacitors in parallel, with the 0.1µF capacitor as close to the device as possible. Careful PC
board ground layout minimizes crosstalk between the
DAC outputs and digital inputs.
