data loading at the data input (DIN). Pull CS low and
clock in each bit of the 16-bit digital word on the rising
edge of the serial clock (SCLK). Two 8-bit bytes can be
used, and do not require any additional time between
them. Pulling CS high after loading the 16-bit word
transfers that code into the DAC register and then
updates the output. If CS is not kept low during the
entire loading of the 16-bit word, data is corrupted. In
this case, a new 16-bit word must be loaded. LDAC
must be kept low at all times for the above instructions.
An alternate method of interfacing and updating the
MAX5200–MAX5203 can be done with a fourth digital
input, the active-low load DAC (LDAC). LDAC allows
the output to update asynchronously after CS goes
high. It is useful when updating multiple MAX5200–
MAX5203s synchronously when sharing a single LDAC
and CS line. LDAC must be kept high at all times dur-
ing the data-loading sequence and must only be
asserted when CS is high. Asserting LDAC when CS is
low can cause corrupted data. To operate the
MAX5200–MAX5203 using LDAC, pull LDAC high, pull
CS low, load the 16-bit word as described in the previ-
ous paragraph, and pull CS high again. Following these
commands, the DAC output only updates when LDAC
is asserted low (Figure 3).

The low-power shutdown mode reduces supply current
to typically 1µA and a maximum of 10µA. Shutdown
mode is not activated through command words, as is
common among D/A converters. These devices require
careful manipulation of CS and SCLK (Figure 4).
To shut down the MAX5200–MAX5203, change the
state of SCLK (either a high to low or low to high transi-
tion can be used) and pulse two falling CS edges. In
order to keep the device in shutdown mode, SCLK
must not change state. SCLK must remain in the state
it is in after the two CS pulses.
There are two methods to wake up the MAX5200–
MAX5203. Pulse one falling CS edge or transition SCLK.
It takes 50µs typically from the CS falling edge or SCLK
transition for the DAC to return to normal operation.
The MAX5200–MAX5203 have a power-on reset circuit to
set the DAC’s output to a known state when V
applied. The MAX5200/MAX5202 reset to midscale (code
8000 hex) upon power-up. The MAX5201/MAX5203 reset
to zero scale (code 0000 hex) upon power-up. This
ensures that unwanted output voltages do not occur
immediately following a system power-up, such as a loss
of power. It is required to apply V
inputs (DIN, SCLK, CLR, LDAC, and CS).
