General Description
The MAX5590–MAX5595 octal, 12/10/8-bit, voltage-out-
put digital-to-analog converters (DACs) offer buffered
outputs and a 3µs maximum settling time at the 12-bit
level. The DACs operate from a +2.7V to +5.25V analog
supply and a separate +1.8V to +5.25V digital supply.
The 20MHz 3-wire serial interface is compatible with
SPI™, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and digital signal
processor (DSP) protocol applications. Multiple devices
can share a common serial interface in direct-access or
daisy-chained configuration. The MAX5590–MAX5595
provide two multifunction, user-programmable, digital
I/O ports. The externally selectable power-up states of
the DAC outputs are either zero scale, midscale, or full
scale. Software-selectable FAST and SLOW settling
modes decrease settling time in FAST mode, or reduce
supply current in SLOW mode.
The MAX5590/MAX5591 are 12-bit DACs, the MAX5592/
MAX5593 are 10-bit DACs, and the MAX5594/
MAX5595 are 8-bit DACs. The MAX5590/MAX5592/
MAX5594 provide unity-gain-configured output buffers,
while the MAX5591/MAX5593/MAX5595 provide force-
sense-configured output buffers. The MAX5590–
MAX5595 are specified over the extended -40°C to
+85°C temperature range, and are available in space-
saving 24-pin and 28-pin TSSOP packages.

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.

Note 1:
For the force-sense versions, FB_ is connected to its respective OUT_. VOUT (max) = VREF / 2, unless otherwise noted.
Note 2:
Linearity guaranteed from decimal code 40 to code 4095 for the MAX5590B/MAX5591B (12-bit, B-grade), code 10 to code
1023 for the MAX5592/MAX5593 (10-bit), and code 3 to code 255 for the MAX5594/MAX5595 (8-bit).
Note 3:
Represents the functional range. The linearity is guaranteed at VREF = 2.5V (for AVDD from 2.7V to 5.25V), and VREF =
4.096V (for AVDD = 4.5V to 5.25V). See the
Typical Operating Characteristics
section for linearity at other voltages.
Note 4:
DC crosstalk is measured as follows: outputs of DACA–DACH are set to full scale and the output of DACH is measured.
While keeping DACH unchanged, the outputs of DACA–DACG are transitioned to zero scale and the
∆V
OUT of DACH is
measured.
Note 5:
Guaranteed by design.
Note 6:
The reference -3dB bandwidth is measured with a 0.1VP-P sine wave on VREF and with full-scale input code.
