8-Bit Parallel DAC in
QSOP-16 Package
_______________General Description
The MAX5480 is a CMOS, 8-bit digital-to-analog con-
verter (DAC) that interfaces directly with most micro-
processors. On-chip input latches make the DAC load
cycle interface similar to a RAM write cycle, where
CS
and
WR
are the only control inputs required.
Linearity of ±1/2LSB is guaranteed, and power con-
sumption is less than 500µW. Monotonicity is guaran-
teed over the full operating temperature range.
The MAX5480 can be operated in either voltage-output
or current-output mode. It is available in a small 16-pin
QSOP package.

8-Bit Parallel DAC in
QSOP-16 Package
MAX5480
_______________Detailed Description
The MAX5480 is an 8-bit multiplying digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) that consists of a thin-film R-2R resistor
array with CMOS current steering switches. Figure 3
shows a simplified schematic of the DAC. The inverted
R-2R ladder divides the voltage or current reference in
a binary manner among the eight steering switches.
The magnitude of the current appearing at either OUT
terminal depends on the number of switches selected;
therefore, the output is an analog representation of the
digital input. The two OUT terminals must be held at the
same potential so a constant current is maintained in
each ladder leg. This makes the REF input current inde-
pendent of switch state and also ensures that the
MAX5480 maintains its excellent linearity performance.

Interface-Logic Information
Mode Selection
The inputs
CS
and
WR
control the MAX5480’s operat-
ing mode (see Table 1).
Write Mode
When
CS
and
WR
are both low, the MAX5480 is in write
mode, and its analog output responds to data activity at
the D0–D7 data-bus inputs. In this mode, the data
latches are transparent (see Tables 2 and 3).
Hold Mode
In hold mode, the MAX5480 retains the data that was
present on D0–D7 just prior to
CS
or
WR
assuming a
high state. The analog output remains at the value cor-
responding to the digital code locked in the data latch.
R1 AND R2 USED ONLY IF GAIN
ADJUSTMENT IS REQUIRED.

__________Applications Information
Using the MAX5480 in Voltage-
Output Mode (Single Supply)
The MAX5480 can be used either as a current-output
DAC (Figures 1 and 6) or as a voltage-output DAC
(Figures 2 and 5).
To use the MAX5480 in voltage mode, connect OUT1 to
the reference input and connect OUT2 to ground. REF,
now the DAC output, is a voltage source with a con-
stant output resistance of 10kΩ (nominally). This output
is often buffered with an op amp (Figure 5).
An advantage of voltage-mode operation is single-
supply operation for the complete circuit; i.e., a nega-
tive reference is not required for a positive output. It is
important to note that the range of the reference is
restricted in voltage mode. The reference input (voltage
at OUT1) must always be positive and is limited to no
more than V
DD
- 3V. If the reference voltage exceeds
this value, linearity is degraded.
