MAX5550ETE-MAX5550ETE+
Dual, 10-Bit, Programmable, 30mA High-Output-Current DAC
General DescriptionThe MAX5550 dual, 10-bit, digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) features high-output-current capability. The
MAX5550 sources up to 30mA per DAC, making it ideal
for PIN diode biasing applications. Outputs can also be
paralleled for high-current applications (up to 60mA
typ). Operating from a single +2.7V to +5.25V supply,
the MAX5550 typically consumes 1.5mA per DAC in
normal operation and less than 1µA (max) in shutdown
mode. The MAX5550 also features low output leakage
current in shutdown mode (±1µA max) that is essential
to ensure that the external PIN diodes are off.
Additional features include an integrated +1.25V
bandgap reference, and a control amplifier to ensure
high accuracy and low-noise performance. A separate
reference input (REFIN) allows for the use of an external
reference source, such as the MAX6126, for improved
gain accuracy. A pin-selectable I2C-/SPI™-compatible
serial interface provides optimum flexibility for the
MAX5550. The maximum programmable output current
value is set using software and an adjustment resistor.
The MAX5550 is available in a (3mm x 3mm) 16-pin thin
QFN package, and is specified over the extended
(-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

Detailed Description
ArchitectureThe MAX5550 10-bit, dual current-steering DAC (see
the Functional Diagram) operates with DAC update
rates up to 10Msps in SPI mode and 400ksps in I2C
mode. The converter consists of a 16-bit shift register
and input DAC registers, followed by a current-steering
array. The current-steering array generates full-scale
currents up to 30mA per DAC. An integrated +1.25V
bandgap reference, control amplifier, and an external
resistor determine each data converter’s full-scale out-
put range.
Reference Architecture and OperationThe MAX5550 provides an internal +1.25V bandgap ref-
erence or accepts an external reference voltage source
between +0.5V and +1.5V. REFIN serves as the input for
an external low-impedance reference source. Leave
REFIN unconnected in internal reference mode. Internal
or external reference mode is software selectable
through the SPI/I2C serial interface.
The MAX5550’s reference circuit (Figure1) employs a
control amplifier to regulate the full-scale current (IFS) for
the current outputs of the DAC. This device has a soft-
ware-selectable full-scale current range (see the com-
mand summary in Table4). After selecting a current
range, an external resistor (RFSADJ_) sets the full-scale
current. See Table1 for a matrix of IFSand RFSADJ
selections.
During startup, when the power is first applied, the
MAX5550 defaults to the external reference mode, and
to the 1mA–2mA full-scale current-range mode.
DAC DataThe 10-bit DAC data is decoded as offset binary, MSB
first, with 1 LSB = IFS/ 1024, and converted into the cor-
responding current as shown in Table2.
Serial InterfaceThe MAX5550 features a pin-selectable SPI/I2C serial
interface. Connect SPI/I2Cto GND to select I2C mode, or
connect SPI/I2Cto VDDto select SPI mode. SDA and
SCL (I2C mode) and DIN, SCLK, and CS(SPI mode)
facilitate communication between the MAX5550 and the
master. The serial interface remains active in shutdown.
