The MAX5122/MAX5123 low-power, 12-bit, voltage-out-
put, digital-to-analog converters (DACs) feature an inter-
nal precision bandgap reference and output amplifier.
♦ Single-Supply Operation
+5V (MAX5122)
+3V (MAX5123)
The MAX5122 operates on a single +5V supply with an
internal +2.5V reference, and offers a configurable output
amplifier. If necessary, the user can override the on-chip,
<10ppm/°C voltage reference with an external reference.
The MAX5123 has the same features as the MAX5122 but
operates from a single +3V supply and has an internal
+1.25V precision reference. The user-accessible inverting
input and output of the amplifier allows specific gain con-
figurations, remote sensing, and high output drive capa-
bility for a wide range of force/sense applications. Both
d e vic e s d ra w only 500µA of s up p ly c urre nt, whic h
reduces to 3µA in power-down mode. In addition, their
power-up reset feature allows for a user-selectable initial
output state of either 0V or midscale and reduces output
glitches during power-up.
♦ Built-In 10ppm/°C max Precision Bandgap Reference
+2.5V (MAX5122)
+1.25V (MAX5123)
♦ SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-Compatible, 3-Wire Serial
Interface
♦ Pin-Programmable Shutdown Mode and Power-
Up Reset (0 or Midscale Output Voltage)
♦ Buffered Output Capable of Driving 5kΩ 100pF
or 4–20mA Loads
♦ Space-Saving 16-Pin QSOP Package
♦ Pin-Compatible 13-Bit Upgrades Available
The serial interface is compatible with SPI™, QSPI™, and
MICROWIRE™, which makes the MAX5122/MAX5123
suitable for cascading multiple devices. Each DAC has
a double-buffered input organized as an input register
followed by a DAC register. A 16-bit shift register loads
data into the input register. The DAC register may be
updated independently or simultaneously with the input
register.
