Typical Application
Description
The LTC®2668 is a family of 16-channel, 16-/12-bit ±10V digital-to-analog converters with integrated precision references. They are guaranteed monotonic and have built-in rail-to-rail output buffers. These SoftSpan™ DACs offer five output ranges up to ±10V. The range of each channel is independently programmable, or the part can be hardware-configured for operation in a fixed range.
The integrated 2.5V reference is buffered separately to each channel; an external reference can be used for additional range options. The LTC2668 also includes A/B toggle capability via a dedicated pin or software toggle command.
The SPI/Microwire-compatible 3-wire serial interface operates on logic levels as low as 1.71V at clock rates up to 50MHz.

Linduino
Linduino is an Arduino compatible platform for developing and distributing firmware libraries and code for SPI and I²C-compatible integrated circuits. The Linduino One board interfaces to more than 300 QuikEval demonstration cards, supporting a variety of product types including analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), power monitors, and more. Firmware libraries for individual devices are written in C and designed to be portable to a wide variety of processors and microcontrollers. Each library has a demonstration program that can be uploaded to the Linduino One platform to allow the circuit and software to be quickly and easily verified.
Code
Linduino is Linear Technology's Arduino compatible system for developing and distributing firmware libraries and example code for Linear Technology’s integrated circuits.

@verbatim
NOTES
Setup:
Set the terminal baud rate to 115200 and select the newline terminator.
An external +/- 15V power supply is required to power the circuit.
The program displays calculated voltages which are based on the voltage
of the reference used, be it internal or external. A precision voltmeter
is needed to verify the actual measured voltages against the calculated
voltage displayed.
If an external reference is used, a precision voltage
source is required to apply the external reference voltage. A
precision voltmeter is also required to measure the external reference
voltage.
Explanation of Commands:
1- Select DAC: Select one of sixteen DACs to test : 0 to 15
2- Write to DAC input register: Value is stored in the DAC for updating
later, allowing multiple channels to be updated at once, either
through a software "Update All" command or by asserting the LDAC# pin.
User will be prompted to enter either a code in hex or decimal, or a
voltage. If a voltage is entered, a code will be calculated based on
the active scaling and reference parameters - ideal values if no
calibration was ever stored.
3- Write and Update: Similar to item 1, but DAC is updated immediately.
4- Update DAC: Copies the value from the input register into the DAC
Register. Note that a "write and update" command writes the code to
BOTH the input register and DAC register, so subsequent "update"
commands will simply re-copy the same data (no change in output.)
5- Power Down DAC: Disable DAC output. Power supply current is reduced.
DAC code present in DAC registers at time of shutdown are preserved.
6- Set reference mode, either internal or external: Selecting external
mode powers down the internal reference voltage. It is the users
responsibility to apply a 2.5v reference.
7- Set SoftSpan: There are four options. In external mode, it is the users
responsibility to compensate for the desired voltage.
8- Toggle Selected Word: Switch between register A or B for DAC code.
9- Set MUX: Enables / disables the MUX and sets the channel.
10- Global Toggle Bit Settings - Enabling this feature sets the DAC to
toggle from register A(when TGL pin is LOW) and register b(when TGL pin
is HIGH). TGL pin is set HIGH with an internal pull up when the global toggle bit
is set, and TGL pin is set LOW with an internal pull down when the global toggle bit
is not set.
11- Enable, disable, or store to EEPROM: To store to EEROM ensure all
registers are set to their desired settings. Next, go to th store
setting EEPROM menu and select it. Upon Linduinos power up, the
previously stored settings will be restored.
12- Voltage Ramp: Sets a voltage ramp to all the channels. CH0 = 0V, CH1 = 0.1V,
CH2 = 0.2V, CH3 = 0.4V, ect.
USER INPUT DATA FORMAT:
decimal : 1024
hex : 0x400
octal : 02000 (leading 0 "zero")
binary : B10000000000
float : 1024.0

LTC2668: 16-Channel SPI 16-/12-Bit +/-10V Vout SoftSpan DACs with 10ppm/C Max Reference.
@verbatim
The LTC2668 is a family of 16-channel, 12/16-bit +/-10V digital-to-analog converters with integrated
precision references. They are guaranteed monotonic and have built-in rail-to-rail output buffers.
These SoftSpan DACs offer five output ranges up to +/-10V. The range of each channel is independently
programmable, or the part can be hardware-configured for operation in a fixed range.
The integrated 2.5V reference is buffered separately to each channel; an external reference can be used
for additional range options. The LTC2668 also includes toggle capability - alternating codes via the
software toggle command, or by providing a free-running clock to the TGP pin.
The SPI/Microwire-compatible 3-wire serial interface operates on logic levels as low as 1.71V, at clock
rates up to 50MHz.

LTC2668: 16-Channel SPI 16-/12-Bit +/-10V Vout SoftSpan DACs with 10ppm/C Max Reference
@verbatim
The LTC2668 is a family of 16-channel, 12/16-bit +/-10V digital-to-analog converters with integrated
precision references. They are guaranteed monotonic and have built-in rail-to-rail output buffers.
These SoftSpan DACs offer five output ranges up to +/-10V. The range of each channel is independently
programmable, or the part can be hardware-configured for operation in a fixed range.
