The device operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and draws only 230A at VDD = 3.6V. A powerdown mode decreases current consumption to less than 1A. The MAX5841 features three software-selectable power-down output impedances: 100k, 1k, and high impedance. Other features include internal precision Rail-to-Rail(R) output buffers and a power-on reset (POR) circuit that powers up the DAC in the 100k power-down mode. The MAX5841 features a double-buffered I2C-compatible serial interface that allows multiple devices to share a single bus. All logic inputs are CMOS-logic compatible and buffered with Schmitt triggers, allowing direct interfacing to optocoupled and transformer-isolated interfaces. The MAX5841 minimizes digital noise feedthrough by disconnecting the clock (SCL) signal from the rest of the device when an address mismatch is detected. The MAX5841 is specified over the extended temperature range of -40C to +85C and is available in a miniature 10-pin MAX package. Refer to the MAX5842 data sheet for the 12-bit version.

The device consists of a serial interface, power-down circuitry, four input and DAC registers, four 10-bit resistor string DACs, four unity-gain output buffers, and output resistor networks. The serial interface decodes the address and control bits, routing the data to the proper input or DAC register. Data can be directly written to the DAC register, immediately updating the device output, or can be written to the input register without changing the DAC output. Both registers retain data as long as the device is powered. DAC Operation The MAX5841 uses a segmented resistor string DAC architecture, which saves power in the overall system and guarantees output monotonicity. The MAX5841's input coding is straight binary, with the output voltage given by the following equation: V x (D) VOUT _ = REF 2N Power-Down Modes The MAX5841 has three software-controlled low-power power-down modes. All three modes disable the output buffers and disconnect the DAC resistor strings from REF, reducing supply current draw to 1A and the reference current draw to less than 1A. In power-down mode 0, the device output is high impedance. In power-down mode 1, the device output is internally pulled to GND by a 1k termination resistor. In powerdown mode 2, the device output is internally pulled to GND by a 100k termination resistor. Table 1 shows the power-down mode command words. Upon wake-up, the DAC output is restored to its previous value. Data is retained in the input and DAC registers during power-down mode. Digital Interface where N = 10 (bits), and D = the decimal value of the input code (0 to 1023). Output Buffer The MAX5841 analog outputs are buffered by precision, unity-gain followers that slew 0.5V/s. Each buffer output swings rail-to-rail, and is capable of driving 5k in parallel with 200pF. The output settles to 0.5LSB within 4s. Power-On Reset The MAX5841 features an internal POR circuit that initializes the device upon power-up. The DAC registers 8 are set to zero scale and the device is powered down, with the output buffers disabled and the outputs pulled to GND through the 100k termination resistor. Following power-up, a wake-up command must be initiated before any conversions are performed. The MAX5841 features an I 2 C/SMBus-compatible 2-wire interface consisting of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). The MAX5841 is SMBus compatible within the range of VDD = 2.7V to 3.6V. SDA and SCL facilitate bidirectional communication between the MAX5841 and the master at rates up to 400kHz. Figure 1 shows the 2-wire interface timing diagram. The MAX5841 is a transmit/receive slave-only device, relying upon a master to generate a clock signal. The master (typically a microcontroller) initiates data transfer on the bus and generates SCL to permit that transfer. A master device communicates to the MAX5841 by transmitting the proper address followed by command and/or data words. Each transmit sequence is framed- _______________________________________________________________________________________ Quad, 10-Bit, Low-Power, 2-Wire, Serial Voltage-Output DAC POWER-DOWN COMMAND BITS MODE/FUNCTION PD1 PD0 0 0 Power-up device.

Each word transmitted over the bus is 8 bits long and is always followed by an acknowledge clock pulse. The MAX5841 SDA and SCL drivers are open-drain outputs, requiring a pullup resistor to generate, a logic high voltage (see Typical Operating Circuit). Series resistors RS are optional. These series resistors protect the input stages of the MAX5841 from high-voltage spikes on the bus lines, and minimize crosstalk and undershoot of the bus signals. Bit Transfer One data bit is transferred during each SCL clock cycle. The data on SDA must remain stable during the high period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA while SCL is high are control signals (see START and START and STOP Conditions When the serial interface is inactive, SDA and SCL idle high. A master device initiates communication by issuing a START condition. A START condition is a high-tolow transition on SDA with SCL high. A STOP condition is a low-to-high transition on SDA, while SCL is high (Figure 2). A START condition from the master signals the beginning of a transmission to the MAX5841. The master terminates transmission by issuing a not acknowledge followed by a STOP condition (see Acknowledge Bit (ACK)). The STOP condition frees the bus. If a repeated START condition (Sr) is generated instead of a STOP condition, the bus remains active. When a STOP condition or incorrect address is detected, the MAX5841 internally disconnects SCL from the serial interface until the next START condition, minimizing digital noise and feedthrough. Early STOP Conditions The MAX5841 recognizes a STOP condition at any point during transmission except if a STOP condition occurs in the same high pulse as a START condition (Figure 3). This condition is not a legal I2C format; at least one clock pulse must separate any START and STOP conditions. Repeated START Conditions A REPEATED START (S r ) condition may indicate a change of data direction on the bus. Such a change occurs when a command word is required to initiate a read operation. S r may also be used when the bus master is writing to several I2C devices and does not want to relinquish control of the bus. The MAX5841 serial interface supports continuous write operations with or without an Sr condition separating them.

Both SDA and SCL idle high when the I2C bus is not busy. Table 1. Power-Down Command Bits MAX5841 Quad, 10-Bit, Low-Power, 2-Wire, Serial Voltage-Output DAC S Sr P SCL SDA SCL The MAX5841 has four different factory/user-programmed addresses (Table 2). Address bits A6 through A1 are preset, while A0 is controlled by ADD. Connecting ADD to GND sets A0 = 0. Connecting ADD to V DD sets A0 = 1. This feature allows up to four MAX5841s to share the same bus. SDA Table 2. MAX5841 I2C Slave Addresses Figure 2. START and STOP Conditions STOP START LEGAL STOP CONDITION SCL SDA START ILLEGAL STOP ILLEGAL EARLY STOP CONDITION Figure 3. Early STOP Conditions read operations require Sr conditions because of the change in direction of data flow. Acknowledge Bit (ACK) The acknowledge bit (ACK) is the ninth bit attached to any 8-bit data word. ACK is always generated by the receiving device. The MAX5841 generates an ACK when receiving an address or data by pulling SDA low during the ninth clock period. When transmitting data, the MAX5841 waits for the receiving device to generate an ACK. Monitoring ACK allows for detection of unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data transfer occurs if a receiving device is busy or if a system fault has occurred. In the event of an unsuccessful data transfer, the bus master should reattempt communication at a later time. Slave Address A bus master initiates communication with a slave device by issuing a START condition followed by the 7-bit slave address (Figure 4). When idle, the MAX5841 waits for a START condition followed by its slave 10 address. The serial interface compares each address value bit by bit, allowing the interface to power down immediately if an incorrect address is detected. The LSB of the address word is the Read/Write (R/W) bit. R/W indicates whether the master is writing to or reading from the MAX5841 (R/W = 0 selects the write condition, R/W = 1 selects the read condition). After receiving the proper address, the MAX5841 issues an ACK by pulling SDA low for one clock cycle.

Bits C3-C0 configure the MAX5841 (Table 3). Bits D9-D0 are DAC data. Bits S0 and S1 are sub-bits and are always zero. Input and DAC registers update on the falling edge of SCL during the acknowledge bit. Should the write cycle be prematurely aborted, data is not updated and the write cycle must be repeated. Figure 6 shows two example write data sequences. Extended Command Mode The MAX5841 features an extended command mode that is accessed by setting C3-C0 = 1 and D9-D6 = 0.

Read Data Format In read mode (R/W = 1), the MAX5841 writes the contents of the DAC register to the bus. The direction of data flow reverses following the address acknowledge by the MAX5841. The device transmits the first byte of data, waits for the master to acknowledge, then transmits the second byte. Figure 8 shows an example read data sequence. I2C Compatibility The MAX5841 is compatible with existing I2C systems. SCL and SDA are high-impedance inputs; SDA has an open drain that pulls the data line low during the ninth clock pulse. The Typical Operating Circuit shows a typical I2C application. The communication protocol supports the standard I 2 C 8-bit communications. The general call address is ignored. The MAX5841 address is compatible with the 7-bit I2C addressing protocol only. No 10-bit address formats are supported. Digital Feedthrough Suppression When the MAX5841 detects an address mismatch, the serial interface disconnects the SCL signal from the core circuitry. This minimizes digital feedthrough caused by the SCL signal on a static output. The serial interface reconnects the SCL signal once a valid START condition is detected. X X D C PD1 PD0 Figure 7. Extended Command Byte Definition Applications Information Digital Inputs and Interface Logic The MAX5841 2-wire digital interface is I 2C/SMBus compatible. The two digital inputs (SCL and SDA) load the digital input serially into the DAC. Schmitt-trigger buffered inputs allow slow-transition interfaces such as optocouplers to interface directly to the device. The digital inputs are compatible with CMOS logic levels. Power-Supply Bypassing and Ground Management Careful PC board layout is important for optimal system performance. Keep analog and digital signals separate to reduce noise injection and digital feedthrough. Use a ground plane to ensure that the ground return from GND to the power-supply ground is short and low impedance. Bypass V DD with a 0.1F capacitor to ground as close to the device as possible.
