Analog Devices Inc. LTC2688 12-/16-Bit Voltage Output DACs
Analog Devices Inc. LTC2688 12- or 16-Bit Voltage Output Digital to Analog Converters (DACs) are 16-channel, 12- or 16-bit, ±15V components with an integrated precision reference. The LTC2688 is guaranteed monotonic and has built-in rail-to-rail output buffers that can source or sink up to 20mA. These SoftSpan™ DACs offer five output ranges up to ±15V. The range of each channel is independently programmable.
The internal 4.096V precision reference sets the accuracy of the output voltage. An external reference can be used for an additional range of options. Three toggle pins support Input Register A and Input Register B toggle or sinusoidal dither at multiple frequencies. An analog multiplexer simplifies the measurement of pin voltages, load currents, and junction temperature.
Programmable offset and gain registers of the Analog Devices LTC2688 improve the accuracy of the DACs outputs. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) and MICROWIRE™-compatible, 3-wire serial interface operate on logic levels as low as 1.71V and clock rates up to 50MHz.
The Analog Devices Inc. LTC2688 12-/16-Bit DACs are available in a 6mm x 6mm LFCSP-40 or a 4.5mm x 4.5mm 64-ball WLCSP package.
