MAX5732–MAX5735
32-Channel, 16-Bit, Voltage-Output
DACs with Serial Interface
16 ______________________________________________________________________________________
Detailed Description
The MAX5732–MAX5735 are 32-channel, 16-bit, volt-
age-output DACs (Figure 1). The devices accept a 3V
external reference input at REF. An internal offset DAC
allows all outputs to be offset (see Table 1). The devices
provide a ground-sensing function that allows the output
voltages to be referenced to a remote ground.
A 33MHz SPI-/QSPI/-MICROWIRE- and DSP-compatible
serial interface controls the MAX5732–MAX5735 (Figure 2).
Each DAC includes a double-buffered input structure to
minimize the digital noise feedthrough from the digital
inputs to the outputs, and allows for synchronous or
asynchronous updating of the outputs. The two buffers
are organized as an input register followed by a DAC
register that stores the contents of the output. Input reg-
isters update the DAC registers independently or simul-
taneously with a single software or hardware command.
The MAX5732–MAX5735 also have a DOUT that allows
for read-back or daisy chaining multiple devices.
The MAX5732–MAX5735 analog and digital sections
have separate power inputs. Separate power inputs are
also provided for the output buffer amplifiers.
Proprietary deglitch circuits prevent output glitches at
power-up and eliminate the need for power sequenc-
ing. A software-shutdown mode allows efficient power
management. The MAX5732–MAX5735 consume 50µA
of supply current in shutdown.
All DACs provide buffered outputs that can drive 10k
in parallel with 100pF. The MAX5732 has a 0 to +5V
output range; the MAX5733 has a 0 to +10V output
range; the MAX5734 has a -2.5V to +7.5V output range;
and the MAX5735 has a -5V to +5V output range.
External Reference Input (REF)
The REF voltage sets the full-scale output voltage for all
32 DACs. REF accepts a +3V ±3% input. Reference
voltages outside these limits can result in a degradation
of device performance.
REF is a buffered input. The typical input impedance is
10M, and it does not vary with code. Use a high-
accuracy, low-noise voltage reference such as the
MAX6126AASA30 (3ppm/°C temp drift and 0.02% initial
accuracy) to improve static accuracy. REF does not
accept AC signals.
Ground Sense (GS)
The MAX5732–MAX5735 include a GS that allows the
output voltages to be referenced to a remote ground.
The GS input voltage range (V
GS
) is -0.5V to +0.5V.
V
GS
is added to the output voltage with unity gain. The
resulting output voltage must be within the valid output-
voltage range set by the power supplies. See the
Output Amplifiers (OUT0–OUT31) section for the effect
of the GS inputs on the DAC outputs.
Offset DAC
The MAX5732–MAX5735 feature an offset DAC that
determines the output voltage range. While each part
number has an output voltage range associated with it,
it is the offset DAC that determines the end-point volt-
ages of the range. Table 1 shows the offset DAC code
required during power-up.

Note: The offset DAC of every device can be pro-
grammed with any of the four output voltage ranges.
However, the specifications in the Electrical
Characteristics table are only guaranteed (production
tested) for the offset code associated with each partic-
ular part number. For example, the MAX5734 specifica-
tions are only valid with the MAX5734 offset- DAC code
shown in Table 1.
The offset DAC is summed with GS (Figure 1). The offset
DAC can also cancel the offset of the output buffers.
Any change in the offset DAC affects all 32 DACs.
The offset DAC is also configured identically to the
other 32 DACs with an input and DAC register. Write to
the offset DAC through the serial interface by using
control bits C2, C1, and C0 = 001 followed by the data
bits D15–D0. The CLR command affects the offset DAC
as well as the other DACs.
The data format for the offset DAC codes are: control bits
C2, C1, and C0 = 011, address bits A5–A0 = 100000, 7
don’t-care bits, and 16 data bits as shown in Table 2.
Output Amplifiers (OUT0–OUT31)
All DAC outputs are internally buffered. The internal
buffers provide gain, improved load regulation, and tran-
sition glitch suppression for the DAC outputs. The output
buffers slew at 1V/µs and can drive 10k in parallel with
100pF. The output buffers are powered by AV
CC
and
V
SS
. AV
CC
and V
SS
determine the maximum output
voltage range of the device.
The input code, the voltage reference, the offset DAC
output, the voltage on GS, and the gain of the output
amplifier determine the output voltage. Calculate V
OUT
as follows:
where GAIN = 5/3 for the MAX5732, or GAIN = 10/3 for
the MAX5733/MAX5734/MAX5735.
Load-DAC (LDAC) Input
The MAX5732–MAX5735 feature an active-low LDAC
logic input that allows the outputs OUT_ to update
asynchronously. Keep LDAC high during normal opera-
tion (when the device is controlled only through the ser-
ial interface). Drive LDAC low to simultaneously update
all DAC outputs with data from their respective input
registers. Figure 3 shows the LDAC timing with respect
to OUT_.
A software command can also activate the LDAC oper-
ation. To activate LDAC by software, set control bits

format. This operation updates all DAC outputs.
Note: The software load DAC does not affect the offset DAC.
Clear (
CLR
)
The MAX5732–MAX5735 feature an active-low CLR
logic input that sets all channels including the offset
DAC to 0V (code 0000hex). The offset DAC needs to be
reprogrammed after CLR is asserted. Driving CLR low
clears the contents of both the input and DAC registers.
The serial interface can also issue a software clear com-
mand. Setting the control bits C2, C1, and C0 = 111
(Table 4) performs the same function as driving logic-
input CLR low. Table 4 shows the clear-data format for
the software-controlled clear command. This register-
reset process cannot be interrupted. All serial input data
is ignored until the entire reset process is complete.
Serial Interface
A 3-wire SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE- and DSP-compatible
serial interface controls the MAX5732–MAX5735. The
interface requires a 32-bit command word to control the
device. The command word consists of 3 control bits, 6
address bits, 7 don’t-care bits, and 16 data bits. Table 5
shows the general serial-data format. The control bits
control various write and read commands as well as the
load DAC and clear commands. Table 6 shows the con-
trol-bit functions. The address bits select the register(s)
to be written. Table 7 shows the address functions. The
data bits control the value of the DAC outputs.
