MAX5352/MAX5353
Low-Power, 12-Bit Voltage-Output DACs
with Serial Interface
______________________________________________________________________________________ 13
The MAX5352’s total harmonic distortion plus noise
(THD+N) is typically less than -77dB (full-scale code),
and the MAX5353’s THD+N is typically less than
-72dB (full-scale code), given a 1Vp-p signal swing and
input frequencies up to 25kHz. The typical -3dB fre-
quency is 650kHz for both devices, as shown in the
Typical Operating Characteristics graphs.
Digitally Programmable Current Source
The circuit of Figure 12 places an NPN transistor
(2N3904 or similar) within the op-amp feedback loop to
implement a digitally programmable, unidirectional cur-
rent source. The output current is calculated with the
following equation:
I
OUT
= (V
REF
/R) x (NB/4096)
where NB is the numeric value of the DAC’s binary
input code and R is the sense resistor shown in
Figure 12.
