Low-Power, Dual, 12-Bit Voltage-Output DACs
with Configurable Outputs
_______________General Description
The MAX5156/MAX5157 low-power, serial, voltage-out-
put, dual 12-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs)
consume only 500µA from a single +5V (MAX5156) or
+3V (MAX5157) supply. These devices feature Rail-to-
Rail
®
output swing and are available in space-saving
16-pin QSOP and DIP packages. Access to the invert-
ing input allows for specific gain configurations, remote
sensing, and high output current capability, making
these devices ideally suited for industrial process con-
trols. These devices are also well suited for digitally
programmable (4–20mA) current loops.
The 3-wire serial interface is SPI™/QSPI™ and
Microwire™ compatible. Each DAC has a double-
buffered input organized as an input register followed
by a DAC register, which allows the input and DAC reg-
isters to be updated independently or simultaneously.
Additional features include a programmable shutdown
(2µA), hardware-shutdown lockout, a separate voltage
reference for each DAC, power-on reset, and an active-
low clear input (CL) that resets all registers and DACs to
zero. The MAX5156/MAX5157 provide a programmable
logic output pin for added functionality, and a serial-
data output pin for daisy chaining.

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.
