The LTC
2641/LTC2642 are families of 16-, 14- and 12-bit
unbuffered voltage output DACs. These DACs operate from
a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and are guaranteed monotonic
over temperature. The LTC2641-16/LTC2642-16 provide
16-bit performance (±2LSB INL and ±1LSB DNL) over
temperature. Unbuffered DAC outputs result in low supply
current of 120μA and a low offset error of ±1LSB.
Both the LTC2641 and LTC2642 feature a reference input
range of 2V to V
DD
. V
OUT
swings from 0V to V
REF
. For
bipolar operation, the LTC2642 includes matched scaling
resistors for use with an external precision op amp (such
as the LT1678), generating a ±V
REF
output swing at R
FB
.
The LTC2641/LTC2642 use a simple SPI/MICROWIRE
compatible 3-wire serial interface which can be operated
at clock rates up to 50MHz and can interface directly
with optocouplers for applications requiring isolation. A
power-on reset circuit clears the LTC2641’s DAC output
to zero scale and the LTC2642’s DAC output to midscale
when power is initially applied. A logic low on the
C
L
R pin
asynchronously clears the DAC to zero scale (LTC2641)
or midscale (LTC2642). These DACs are all specified over
the commercial and industrial ranges.
