Maxim Integrated 

Low-Power, Quad, 10-Bit Voltage-Output DAC

with Serial Interface

__________Applications Information

Unipolar Output

For a unipolar output, the output voltages and the refer-

ence inputs have the same polarity. Figure 9 shows the

MAX5250 unipolar output circuit, which is also the typi-

cal operating circuit. Table 2 lists the unipolar output

codes.

For rail-to-rail outputs, see Figure 10. This circuit shows

the MAX5250 with the output amplifiers configured with

a closed-loop gain of +2 to provide 0V to 5V full-scale

range when a 2.5V reference is used.

Bipolar Output

The MAX5250 outputs can be configured for bipolar

operation using Figure 11’s circuit:

VOUT = VREF [(2NB / 1024) - 1]

where NB is the numeric value of the DAC’s binary

input code. Table 3 shows digital codes (offset binary)

and corresponding output voltages for Figure 11’s

circuit.
