19-3005; Rev 3; 7/07
Buffered, Fast-Settling, Dual, 12-/10-/8-Bit,
Voltage-Output DACs
General Description
The MAX5290–MAX5295 dual, 12-/10-/8-bit, voltage-
output 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 3.6V digital sup-
ply. 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 MAX5290–MAX5295
provide two multifunctional, 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 MAX5290/MAX5291 are 12-bit DACs, the MAX5292/
MAX5293 are 10-bit DACs, and the MAX5294/MAX5295
are 8-bit DACs. The MAX5290/ MAX5292/MAX5294 pro-
vide unity-gain-configured output buffers, while the
MAX5291/MAX5293/MAX5295 provide force-sense-con-
figured output buffers. The MAX5290– MAX5295 are
specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature
range, and are available in space-saving 4mm x 4mm,
16-pin thin QFN and 6.5mm x 5mm, 14-pin and 16-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.
