General Description
The MAX5234/MAX5235 precision, dual-output, 12-bit
digital-to-analog converters (DACs) consume only 360µA
from a single 5V (MAX5235) or 325µA from a single 3V
(MAX5234) supply. These devices feature output buffers
that swing Rail-to-Rail
®
. The internal gain amplifiers maxi-
mize the dynamic range of the DAC output.
The MAX5234/MAX5235 feature a 13.5MHz 3-wire seri-
al interface compatible with SPI™, QSPI™, and
MICROWIRE™. Each DAC input is organized as an
input register followed by a DAC register. A 16-bit shift
register loads data into the input registers. Input regis-
ters update the DAC registers independently or simulta-
neously. In addition, programmable control bits allow
power-down with 1k or 200k internal loads.
The MAX5234/MAX5235 are fully specified over the
extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C)
and are available in space-saving 10-pin µMAX packages.
