16-Channel, 16-Bit/12-Bit Voltage Output DACs

16-Channel, 16-Bit/12-Bit
Voltage Output DACs
±10V VOUT SoftSpan DACs with 10ppm/°C Maximum Reference
The 16-bit/12-bit LTC®2668 combines 16 voltage output DACs with five software-programmable (SoftSpan™) or pin-configurable
output voltage ranges up to ±10V. Each output span is independently selectable per channel, with full 16-bit/12-bit resolution at
all spans. Tight DC linearity with low AC and DC crosstalk ensures precision control in multichannel open or closed-loop systems.
Additional features include an internal 16:1 analog multiplexer for calibration or monitoring circuit integrity, and a toggle function
that allows the DAC to quickly toggle between two DAC codes.
