19-0230; Rev 3; 3/11
Calibrated, Quad, 12-Bit
Voltage-Output DACs with Serial Interface
_______________General Description
The MAX536/MAX537 combine four 12-bit, voltage-output
digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and four precision
output amplifiers in a space-saving 16-pin package.
Offset, gain, and linearity are factory calibrated to provide
the MAX536’s ±1 LSB total unadjusted error. The
MAX537 operates with ±5V supplies, while the MAX536
uses -5V and +10.8V to +13.2V supplies.
Each DAC has a double-buffered input, organized as
an input register followed by a DAC register. A 16-bit
serial word is used to load data into each input/DAC
register. The serial interface is compatible with either
SPI/QSPI™ or MICROWIRE™, and allows the input and
DAC registers to be updated independently or simulta-
neously with a single software command. The DAC reg-
isters can be simultaneously updated with a hardware
LDAC
pin. All logic inputs are TTL/CMOS compatible.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Crosstalk is defined as the glitch energy at any DAC output in response to a full-scale step change on any other DAC.
Digital inputs at 2.4V; with digital inputs at CMOS levels, I

Serial data clocked out of SDO on SCK’s falling edge. (SDO is an open-drain output for the MAX536. The MAX537’s SDO
pin has an internal active pullup.)
Note 7:
Serial data clocked out of SDO on SCK’s rising edge.
Note 8:
SDO changes from High-Z state to 90% of final value.
Note 9:
SDO rises 10% toward High-Z state.
