+5V/+3V, 12-Bit, Serial, Force/Sense DACs
with 10ppm/°C Internal Reference
General Description
The MAX5122/MAX5123 low-power, 12-bit, voltage-out-
put, digital-to-analog converters (DACs) feature an inter-
nal precision bandgap reference and output amplifier.
The MAX5122 operates on a single +5V supply with an
internal +2.5V reference, and offers a configurable output
amplifier. If necessary, the user can override the on-chip,
<10ppm/°C voltage reference with an external reference.
The MAX5123 has the same features as the MAX5122 but
operates from a single +3V supply and has an internal
+1.25V precision reference. The user-accessible inverting
input and output of the amplifier allows specific gain con-
figurations, remote sensing, and high output drive capa-
bility for a wide range of force/sense applications. Both
devices draw only 500µA of supply current, which
reduces to 3µA in power-down mode. In addition, their
power-up reset feature allows for a user-selectable initial
output state of either 0V or midscale and reduces output
glitches during power-up.
The serial interface is compatible with SPI™, QSPI™, and
MICROWIRE™, which makes the MAX5122/MAX5123
suitable for cascading multiple devices. Each DAC has
a double-buffered input organized as an input register
followed by a DAC register. A 16-bit shift register loads
data into the input register. The DAC register may be
updated independently or simultaneously with the input
register.
Both devices are available in a 16-pin QSOP package
and are specified for the extended-industrial (-40°C to
+85°C) operating temperature range. For pin-compatible
14-bit upgrades, see the MAX5171/MAX5173 data sheet;
for the pin-compatible 13-bit version, see the MAX5132/
MAX5133 data sheet.

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:
Accuracy is guaranteed by the following table:

Accuracy Guaranteed
From Code:
16
33
To Code:
4095
4095
Note 2:
Offset is measured at the code closest to 10mV.
Note 3:
The temperature coefficient is determined by the “box” method, in which the maximum
∆V
OUT
over the temperature range
is divided by
∆T
and the typical reference voltage.
Note 4:
Accuracy is better than 1.0LSB for V
OUT
= 10mV to (V
DD
- 180mV). Guaranteed by PSR test on end points.
Note 5:
R
LOAD
=
∞
and digital inputs are at either V
DD
or DGND.
