MAX5158/MAX5159
remains active. Data in the input registers is saved,
allowing the MAX5158/MAX5159 to recall the output
state prior to entering shutdown when returning to nor-
mal mode. Exit shutdown by recalling the previous con-
dition or by updating the DAC with new information.
When returning to normal operation (exiting shutdown),
wait 20µs for output stabilization.
Serial Interface
The MAX5158/MAX5159 3-wire serial interface is com-
patible with both Microwire (Figure 2) and SPI/QSPI
(Figure 3) serial-interface standards. The 16-bit serial
input word consists of an address bit, two control bits, 10
bits of data (MSB to LSB), and 3 sub-bits as shown in
Figure 4. The address and control bits determine the
MAX5158/MAX5159’s response, as outlined in Table 1.

(start up DAC B with data previously stored in input register B).

Update both DAC registers from their respective input registers
(start up both DACs with data previously stored in the input registers).

Note: When A0, C1, and C0 = 0, then D9, D8, D7, and D6 become control bits. S2–S0 are sub bits, always zero.
