The MAX551/MAX552 digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
circuits consist of a laser-trimmed, thin-film R-2R resis-
tor array with NMOS current switches (Figure 1).
Binary-weighted currents are switched to either OUT or
AGND, depending on the status of each input data bit.
Although the currents at OUT and AGND depend on
the digital input code, the sum of the two output cur-
rents is always equal to the input current at REF.
The output current (I
age by adding an external output amplifier (Figure 3).
The REF input accepts a wide range of signals, includ-
ing fixed and time-varying voltage or current inputs. If a
current source is used at the reference input, use a
low-tempco, external feedback resistor in place of the
+3V/+5V, 12-Bit, Serial, Multiplying DACs

with the SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE serial-interface
standards. These devices accept serial clocks up to
