MAX5304
10-Bit Voltage-Output DAC
in 8-Pin µMAX
10 ______________________________________________________________________________________
The MAX5304’s total harmonic distortion plus noise
(THD+N) is typically less than -77dB (full-scale code),
given a 1Vp-p signal swing and input frequencies up to
25kHz. The typical -3dB frequency is 650kHz, as
shown in the Typical Operating Characteristics graphs.
Digitally Programmable Current Source
Figure 12’s circuit places an NPN transistor (2N3904 or
similar) within the op amp feedback loop to implement
a digitally programmable, unidirectional current source.
The output current is calculated with the following
equation:
I
OUT
= (V
REF
/ R)(NB / 1024)
where NB is the numeric value of the DAC’s binary
input code, and R is the sense resistor shown in Figure
12.
Note: ( ) are for sub-bits.

Power-Supply Considerations
On power-up, the input and DAC registers are cleared
(set to zero code). For rated MAX5304 performance,
REF must be at least 1.4V below V
DD
. Bypass V
DD
with
a 4.7µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF capacitor to
GND. Use short lead lengths, and place the bypass
capacitors as close to the supply pins as possible.
Grounding and Layout Considerations
Digital or AC transient signals on GND can create noise
at the analog output. Connect GND to the highest-qual-
ity ground available. Good PC board ground layout
minimizes crosstalk between the DAC output, reference
input, and digital input. Reduce crosstalk by keeping
analog lines away from digital lines. Wire-wrapped
boards are not recommended.
