Low-Cost, Voltage-Output, 16-Bit DACs in µMAX
General Description
The MAX5204–MAX5207 serial input, voltage-output 16-
bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) provide monotonic
16-bit output over temperature without any adjustments.
The MAX5204/MAX5205 operate from a +5V single
power supply and use an external reference ranging
from +4V to V
DD
, while the MAX5206/MAX5207 operate
from a +3V or +3.3V single power supply and use an
external reference ranging from +2V to V
DD
. The
MAX5204–MAX5207 DAC output range is typically from
0 to V
DD
.
The MAX5204–MAX5207 feature a hardware reset input
(CLR) that when pulled low clears the output to zero
code 0000 hex (MAX5205/MAX5207) or resets the out-
put to midscale code 8000 hex (MAX5204/MAX5206).
The 3-wire serial interface is compatible with
SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™. All devices have a low-
power shutdown mode that reduces the supply current
consumption to 1µA.
The MAX5204–MAX5207 are available in a space-sav-
ing 10-pin µMAX
®
package and are guaranteed over
the extended temperature range (-40°C to +105°C).
Refer to the MAX5200–MAX5203 data sheet for internal
reference versions.

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.
