19-3062; Rev 0; 12/03
Dual, Ultra-Low-Power,
12-Bit, Voltage-Output DACs
General Description
Features
The MAX5532–MAX5535 are dual, 12-bit, ultra-low-
power, voltage-output, digital-to-analog converters
♦ Ultra-Low 5µA Supply Current
♦ Shutdown Mode Reduces Supply Current to
®
(DACs) offering Rail-to-Rail buffered voltage outputs.
0.18µA (max)
The DACs operate from a 1.8V to 5.5V supply and con-
sume less than 5µA, making the devices suitable for
low-power and low-voltage applications. A shutdown
mode reduces overall current, including the reference
input current, to just 0.18µA. The MAX5532–MAX5535
use a 3-wire serial interface that is compatible with
SPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™.
♦ Single +1.8V to +5.5V Supply
♦ Small 4mm x 4mm x 0.8mm Thin QFN Package
♦ Internal Reference Sources 8mA of Current
(MAX5533/MAX5535)
♦ Flexible Force-Sense-Configured Rail-to-Rail
Output Buffers
Upon power-up, the MAX5532–MAX5535 outputs are
driven to zero scale, providing additional safety for
applications that drive valves or for other transducers
that need to be off during power-up. The zero-scale
outputs enable glitch-free power-up.
♦ Fast 16MHz, 3-Wire, SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-
Compatible Serial Interface
♦ TTL- and CMOS-Compatible Digital Inputs with
Hysteresis
The MAX5532 accepts an external reference input and
provides unity-gain outputs. The MAX5533 contains a
precision internal reference and provides a buffered
external reference output with unity-gain DAC outputs.
The MAX5534 accepts an external reference input and
provides force-sense outputs. The MAX5535 contains a
precision internal reference and provides a buffered
external reference output with force-sense DAC outputs.
♦ Glitch-Free Outputs During Power-Up
