Power-Down (PDL)

The power-down lockout pin PDL disables software

shutdown when low. When in shutdown, transitioning

PDL from high to low wakes up the part with the output

set to the state prior to shutdown. PDL can also be

used to wake up the device asynchronously.

Daisy Chaining Devices

Any number of MAX5250s can be daisy chained by

connecting the DOUT pin of one device to the DIN pin

of the following device in the chain (Figure 7).

Since the MAX5250’s DOUT pin has an internal active

pull-up, the DOUT sink/source capability determines

the time required to discharge/charge a capacitive

load. Refer to the serial-data-out V

and V

specifi-

cations in the

Electrical Characteristics.

Figure 8 shows an alternate method of connecting sev-

eral MAX5250s. In this configuration, the data bus is

common to all devices; data is not shifted through a

daisy chain. More I/O lines are required in this configu-

ration because a dedicated chip-select input (CS) is

required for each IC.
