General Description

The MAX5181 is a 10-bit, current-output digital-to-ana-

log converter (DAC) designed for superior performance

in signal reconstruction or arbitrary waveform genera-

tion applications requiring analog signal reconstruction

with low distortion and low-power operation. The

MAX5184 provides equal specifications, with on-chip

precision resistors for voltage-output operation. The

MAX5181/MAX5184 are designed for a 10pVs glitch

operation to minimize unwanted spurious signal com-

ponents at the output. An on-board 1.2V bandgap cir-

cuit provides a well-regulated, low-noise reference that

can be disabled for external reference operation.

The devices are designed to provide a high level of sig-

nal integrity for the least amount of power dissipation.

They operate from a single 2.7V to 3.3V supply.

Additionally, these DACs have three modes of opera-

tion: normal, low-power standby, and full shutdown,

which provides the lowest possible power dissipation

with a 1µA (max) shutdown current. A fast wake-up time

(0.5µs) from standby mode to full DAC operation facili-

tates power conservation by activating the DAC only

when required.

The MAX5181/MAX5184 are available in 24-pin QSOP

packages and are specified for the extended (-40°C to

+85°C) temperature range. Additionally, the MAX5184

is also available in a 24-pin TQFN with exposed pad

(EP) and is specified for the extended (-40°C to +85°C)

temperature range. For lower resolution, 8-bit versions,

refer to the MAX5187/MAX5190 data sheet.

MAX5181/MAX5184 10-Bit, 40MHz, Current/Voltage-Output DACs Detailed Description provides a 1.2V output. Due to its limited 10µA output drive capability, REFO must be buffered with an external amplifier, if heavier loading is required. The MAX5181/MAX5184 also employ a control amplifier designed to regulate simultaneously the full-scale output current (IFS) for both outputs of the devices.

10-Bit, 40MHz, Current/Voltage-Output DACs External Reference To disable the MAX5181/MAX5184’s internal reference, connect REN to DVDD. A temperature-stable, external reference may now be applied to drive the REFO pin to set the full-scale output (Figure 3). Choose a reference capable of supplying at least 150µA to drive the bias circuit that generates the cascode current for the current array. For improved accuracy and drift performance, choose a fixed output voltage reference such as the 1.

Timing Diagram Offset Error Offset error (Figure 5c) is the difference between the ideal and the actual offset point. For a DAC, the offset point is the step value when the digital input is zero. This error affects all codes by the same amount and can usually be compensated by trimming.

10-Bit, 40MHz, Current/Voltage-Output DACs as close to the pin as possible, and their opposite ends should be as close as possible to the ground plane. The DVDD pins should also have separate 10µF and 0.1µF capacitors adjacent to their respective pins. Try to minimize analog load capacitance for proper operation. For best performance, bypass with low-ESR 0.1µF capacitors to AVDD.
