Key Featrues

Single-Supply Operation: The MAX5122 operates on a single +5V supply, while the MAX5123 operates on a single +3V supply. This simplifies power management and reduces the need for multiple voltage rails, making the devices suitable for compact and power-sensitive applications.
Built-In Precision Bandgap Reference: Both devices feature an internal precision bandgap reference with a maximum temperature coefficient of 10ppm/°C. This ensures stable and accurate voltage outputs, reducing the need for external reference components and enhancing reliability in precision applications.
SPI/QSPI/Microwire-Compatible Interface: The 3-wire serial interface is compatible with SPI, QSPI, and Microwire protocols, providing flexibility in communication with microcontrollers and other digital systems. This simplifies integration and reduces the complexity of system design.
Pin-Programmable Shutdown Mode and Power-Up Reset: The devices offer a pin-programmable shutdown mode that reduces power consumption to just 3µA, ideal for battery-operated systems. Additionally, the power-up reset feature allows users to select the initial output state (0V or midscale), minimizing output glitches during startup and ensuring predictable behavior.
Buffered Output with High Drive Capability: The buffered output can drive loads of 5kΩ ||100pF or 4-20mA, making the devices versatile for a wide range of applications, including industrial process controls and motion control systems. This ensures robust performance even in demanding environments.
