In applications where the reference has AC signal com-
ponents, the MAX5253 has multiplying capability within
the reference input range specifications. Figure 12
shows a technique for applying a sine-wave signal to
the reference input where the AC signal is offset before
being applied to REFAB/REFCD. The reference voltage
must never be more negative than DGND.
The MAX5253’s total harmonic distortion plus noise
(THD + N) is typically less than -72dB, given a 1V sig-
nal swing and input frequencies up to 25kHz. The typi-
cal -3dB frequency is 650kHz, as shown in the Typical
Operating Characteristics graphs.
The circuit of Figure 13 places an NPN transistor
(2N3904 or similar) within the op-amp feedback loop to
implement a digitally programmable, unidirectional cur-
rent source. This circuit can be used to drive 4mA to
20mA current loops, which are commonly used in
industrial-control applications. The output current is cal-
culated with the following equation:
where NB is the numeric value of the DAC’s binary
input code and R is the sense resistor shown in
Figure 13.
