• Manufacturer Part Number: max5888egktd
• Description: Max5888 3.3v, 16-bit, 500msps High Dynamic Performance Dac With Differential Lvds Inputs
• Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.

The MAX5888 is a high-performance, 16-bit, current-
steering DAC (Figure 1) capable of operating with clock
speeds up to 500MHz. The converter consists of sepa-
rate input and DAC registers, followed by a current-
steering circuit. This circuit is capable of generating
differential full-scale currents in the range of 2mA to
20mA. An internal current-switching network in combi-
nation with external 50Ω termination resistors convert
the differential output currents into a differential output
voltage with a peak-to-peak output voltage range of
0.1V to 1V. An integrated 1.2V bandgap reference, con-
trol amplifier, and user-selectable external resistor
determine the data converter’s full-scale output range.
The MAX5888 supports operation with the on-chip 1.2V
bandgap reference or an external reference voltage
source. REFIO serves as the input for an external, low-
impedance reference source, and as the output if the
DAC is operating with the internal reference. For stable

Architecture
operation with the internal reference, REFIO should be
decoupled to AGND with a 0.1µF capacitor. Due to its
limited output drive capability REFIO must be buffered
with an external amplifier, if heavier loading is required.
The MAX5888’s reference circuit (Figure 2) employs a
control amplifier, designed to regulate the full-scale
current I
DAC. Configured as a voltage-to-current amplifier, the
output current can be calculated as follows:
