Description

The LTC®1662 is an ultralow power, fully buffered voltage output, dual 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Each DAC channel draws just 1.7µA (typ) total supply-plus-reference operating current, yet is capable of supplying DC output currents in excess of 1mA and reliably driving capacitive loads of up to 1000pF. A programmable Sleep mode further reduces total operating current to 0.05µA. Linear Technology’s proprietary, inherently monotonic architecture provides excellent linearity and an exceptionally small external form factor. The double-buffered input logic provides simultaneous update capability and can be used to write to the DACs without interrupting Sleep mode. With its tiny operating current and exceptionally small size, the LTC1662 is ideal for use in the most power-constrained products. For most designs, there is no perceptible impact on the power budget; the LTC1662 draws many times less current than even a trimpot, while providing buffered, low impedance (0.5 Ohms typical, VCC = 5V) rail-to-rail outputs. The LTC1662 is pin and software compatible with the LTC1661 dual, 60µA 10-bit DAC. It is available in 8-pin MSOP and PDIP packages and is specified over the industrial temperature range.
