_______________Detailed Description
The MAX5132/MAX5133 13-bit, force/sense DACs are
easily configured with a 3-wire serial interface. They
include a 16-bit data-in/data-out shift register and have a
double-buffered digital input consisting of an input regis-
ter and a DAC register. In addition, these devices
employ precision bandgap references, as well as an out-
put amplifier with accessible feedback and output pins
that can be used for setting the gain externally (Figure 1)
or for forcing and sensing applications. These DACs
are designed with an inverted R-2R ladder network
(Figure 2) that produces a weighted voltage proportion-
al to the digital input code.
Internal Reference
Both devices use an on-board precision bandgap ref-
erence with a low temperature coefficient of only
10ppm/°C (max) to generate an output voltage of +2.5V
(MAX5132) or +1.25V (MAX5133). The REF pin can
source up to 100µA and may become unstable with
capacitive loads exceeding 100pF. REFADJ can be
used for minor adjustments to the reference voltage.
The circuits in Figures 3a and 3b achieve a nominal ref-
erence adjustment range of ±1%. Connect a 33nF
capacitor from REFADJ to AGND to establish low-noise
