MAX5121

19-1428; Rev 0; 2/99 MAX5120/MAX5121 +3V/+5V, 12-Bit, Serial Voltage-Output DACs with Internal Reference General Description The MAX5120/MAX5121 are low-power, 12-bit, voltageoutput digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with an internal precision bandgap reference and an output amplifier. The MAX5120 operates on a +5V supply with an internal amplifier reference of +2.5V and is capable of a +4.095V full-scale output range. The MAX5121, operating on +3V, delivers its +2.0475V full-scale output with an internal precision reference of +1.25V. If necessary, the user can override the internal, <10ppm/°C voltage reference with an external reference. 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 minimizes output voltage glitches during power-up. The serial interface is compatible with SPI™, QSPI™ and MICROWIRE™, which make...
