n12-Lead MSOP Package
The LTC®2644 is a family of dual 12-, 10-, and 8-bit PWMto-voltage output DACs with an integrated high accuracy,
low drift, 10ppm/°C reference in a 12-lead MSOP package. It
has rail-to-rail output buffers and is guaranteed monotonic.
APPLICATIONS
The LTC2644 has a full-scale output of 2.5V using the
10ppm/°C internal reference. It can operate with an external
reference, which sets the full-scale output equal to the external reference voltage. Each DAC enters a pin-selectable
idle state when the PWM input is held unchanged for
more than 60ms. The part operates from a single 2.7V
to 5.5V supply and supports PWM input voltages from
1.71V to 5.5V.

The LTC2644 measures the period and pulse width of the
PWM input signals and updates the voltage output DACs
after each corresponding PWM input rising edge. The
DAC outputs update and settle to 12-bit accuracy within
8µs typically and are capable of sourcing and sinking up
to 5mA (3V) or 10mA (5V), eliminating voltage ripple and
replacing slow analog filters and buffer amplifiers.

Note 5: This IC includes current limiting that is intended to protect the
device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature can
exceed the rated maximum during current limiting. Continuous operation
above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair
device reliability.
Note 6: INx at 0V or IOVCC.
Note 7: Guaranteed by design and not production tested.
Note 8: Internal Reference mode. DAC is stepped ¼ scale to ¾ scale and
¾ scale to ¼ scale. Load is 2kΩ in parallel with 100pF to GND.
Note 9: Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.

PIN FUNCTIONS
VCC (Pin 1): Supply Voltage Input. 2.7V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V.
Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
VOUTA, VOUTB (Pins 2, 3): DAC Analog Voltage Outputs.
The DAC output voltage can be calculated by the following equation:
VOUTX = VREF • tPWHX/tPERX
where VREF is 2.5V in internal reference mode or the REF
pin voltage in external reference mode, tPWHX is the pulse
width of the preceding INX period and tPERX is the time
between the two most recent INX rising edges.
IDLSEL (Pin 4): Idle Mode Select Input. Connect IDLSEL
to GND or VCC to select the behavior of the DAC output
when there has been no rising edge on the PWM input for
more than the idle mode timeout delay t3 (nominal delay
is 60ms). Available idle mode states are power-down with
high impedance output, hold previous state, zero-scale or
full-scale. This pin also selects the initial state of the DAC
outputs following a power-on reset.
IOVCC (Pin 5): I/O Supply Voltage Input. 1.71V ≤ IOVCC ≤
5.5V. Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
GND (Pins 6, 12): Ground.
PD (Pin 7): Active-Low Power-Down Input. Connect PD to
GND to place the part in power-down with a typical supply
current of <1µA. Connect PD to IOVCC for normal operation.
INA, INB (Pins 9, 8): PWM Inputs. Apply a pulse-width
modulated input frequency between 30Hz and 6.25kHz
(12-bit), 25kHz (10-bit) or 100kHz (8-bit). After each INX
rising edge, the part calculates the duty cycle based upon
the pulse width and period and updates DAC channel
VOUTX. Logic levels are referenced to IOVCC.
REFSEL (Pin 11): Reference Select Input. Connect REFSEL
to GND to select internal reference mode. Connect REFSEL
to VCC to select external reference mode.
REF (Pin 10): Reference Voltage Input or Output. When
REFSEL is connected to VCC, REF is an input (1V ≤ VREF
≤ VCC) where the voltage supplied sets the full-scale
DAC output voltage. When REFSEL is connected to GND,
the 10ppm/°C, 1.25V internal reference (half full-scale)
is available at the pin. This output may be bypassed to
GND with up to 10µF and must be buffered when driving
external DC load current.

LTC2644
OPERATION
The LTC2644 is a family of dual PWM input, voltage output
DACs in a 12-lead MSOP package. The part measures the
pulse width and period of the PWM inputs and updates
each DAC output after the corresponding PWM input
rising edge. Each DAC can operate rail-to-rail using an
external reference, or with a 2.5V full-scale voltage using
an integrated reference. Three resolutions (12-, 10-, and
8-bit) are available.
PWM-to-Voltage Conversion
The LTC2644 converts a PWM input to an accurate, stable,
buffered voltage without the latency, slow settling, and highvalue passive components required for discrete solutions.
The PWM input pins (INX) accept frequencies from 30Hz
up to 6.25kHz (12-bit), 25kHz (10-bit), or 100kHz (8-bit).
The duty cycle is calculated after each PWM input rising
edge based upon the previous high and low pulse width.
The resulting digital DAC code k is calculated as:
k = 2N • tPWHX / tPERX
where tPWHX is the pulse width of the preceding INX period
and tPERX is the time between the two most recent INX
rising edges. The digital-to-analog transfer function is:
 k 
VOUT(IDEAL) =  N  VREF, for k = 0 to 2N – 1
2 
where N is the resolution, VREF is 2.5V for internal reference
mode or the REF pin voltage for external reference mode.
DAC Update Timing
The update for DAC output VOUTX occurs following each
rising edge input on INX (Figure 1a). Delay tS is the delay
from an INX rising edge to the VOUTX settled output voltage
corresponding to the previous period’s duty cycle. Delay
tS is composed of the computational cycle delay (t4) and
the actual settling of the output DAC. The PWM-to-binary,
internal computational cycle begins immediately following
the INX rising edge. The computational cycle is completed
after delay t4 and the DAC output VOUTX is updated. The
DAC output typically settles to 12-bit accuracy within 8µs
from the INX rising edge.
PWM Input Idle Mode Selection
When no PWM input rising edge is received for more than
the idle mode timeout delay t3 (nominal delay is 60ms),
the DAC output enters an idle mode state which can be
configured by connecting IDLSEL to GND or VCC according to Table 1 below. Note that these pins also control the
initial state of the DACs after power-on reset.

Transparent Operation
For applications in which the PWM input duty cycle may
be 0% or 100%, connect IDLSEL to GND to select transparent operation, in which case an idle low input sets the
DAC to zero-scale or an idle high input sets the DAC to
full-scale. Figure 1c illustrates the timing for transparent
operation. Any pair of PWM input rising edges separated
by less than the idle mode timeout delay t3 (50ms minimum) will cause the DAC code to be updated following
the second rising edge. Note that an idle high input state
may be followed by an idle low input state.
Sample/Hold Operation
The LTC2644 has the capability to sample the pulsewidth/period and hold the corresponding voltage level
indefinitely. Unlike analog filter implementations which
require the PWM input to run continuously, the LTC2644
may operate with a discontinuous PWM input. Connect
IDLSEL to VCC to select sample/hold operation, in which a
single pair of rising edges is sufficient to update the DAC,
and the DAC code retains its previous value when the PWM
input idles high. Figure 1b illustrates correct timing for
2644f

LTC2644
OPERATION
sample/hold operations. Any pair of rising edges separated
by less than the idle timeout delay t3 (50ms minimum)
will cause the DAC code to be updated. Any pair of rising
edges separated by more than t3 (70ms maximum) will
be ignored and the DAC code will retain its previous value.
Note that after power-on-reset or when INX idles low, the
DAC will power down with a high impedance output.
Short INX Period Operation
The accuracy of the PWM to voltage conversion is guaranteed for INX input frequencies up to 6.25 kHz (12-bit),
25kHz (10-bit) or 100kHz (8-bit). Faster INX input frequencies will proportionally decrease the resolution and
accuracy of the analog output. For INX input periods of
less than the computational delay t4 (nominally 3.2µs), the
DAC update will be skipped and the DAC code will retain
its previous value.
Short INX Pulse-Width Operation
Provide INX input high and low pulse widths greater than
tPWH and tPWL to ensure that the DAC output is updated
after every INX rising edge. High going pulses narrower
than tPWH will cause the DAC code to be calculated as
zero-scale, and low going pulses narrower than tPWL will
cause the DAC code to be calculated as full-scale. For
much narrower pulse widths of only a few nanoseconds,
the input edge may not be recognized, in which case the
DAC update will be skipped entirely and the DAC code will
retain its previous value.
Power-On Reset
The LTC2644 resets the output to a known state when
power is first applied, making system initialization consistent and repeatable. Connect the IDLSEL pin to GND or
VCC according to Table 1 to cause the DACs to initialize to
zero-scale or with the device powered down and the DAC
outputs high impedance.
For some applications, downstream circuits are active
during DAC power-up, and may be sensitive to nonzero
outputs from the DAC during this time. The LTC2644
contains circuitry to reduce the power-on glitch when
zero-scale reset is selected: the analog output typically
rises less than 5mV above zero-scale during power on
if the power supply is ramped to 5V in 1ms or more. In
general, the glitch amplitude decreases as the power supply ramp time is increased.
Reference Modes
For applications where an accurate external reference
is not available, nor desirable due to limited space, the
LTC2644 has a user-selectable, integrated reference.
Internal Reference mode can be selected by connecting
the REFSEL pin to GND.
The 10ppm/°C, 1.25V internal reference is available at
the REF pin. This voltage is internally amplified by 2x to
provide a 2.5V full-scale DAC output voltage range. Adding bypass capacitance to the REF pin will improve noise
performance; 0.1µF is recommended, and up to 10µF can
be driven without oscillation. The REF output must be
buffered when driving an external DC load current.
Alternatively, the DAC can operate in External Reference
mode by connecting the REFSEL pin to VCC. In this mode,
an input voltage supplied externally to the REF pin provides
the reference (1V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC) and the supply current is
reduced. In this mode the full-scale DAC output voltage
is equal to the voltage at the REF pin.
Power-Down Mode
For power constrained applications, power-down mode
can be used to reduce the supply current whenever less
than two DAC outputs are needed. When in power-down
mode, the buffer amplifiers, bias circuits, and integrated
reference circuits are disabled, and draw essentially zero
current.

LTC2644
OPERATION
If IDLSEL is connected to VCC, either or both channels
can be powered down by keeping the PWM input(s)
(INA/INB) low for the idle mode timeout delay t3. The integrated reference is automatically powered down when
external reference mode is selected or when both DAC
channels are powered down. In addition, both DAC channels and the integrated reference can be powered down
by pulling the PD pin low. When the integrated reference
is powered down, the REF pin becomes high impedance
(typically > 1GΩ).
50Ω • 1mA, or 50mV). See the graph Headroom at Rails
vs Output Current in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Normal operating current resumes when PD returns high
for transparent operation (IDLSEL = GND). For sample/
hold operation (IDLSEL = VCC), the LTC2644 remains
in full power-down until the first rising edge is received
on any PWM input. Any pair of PWM input rising edges
separated by less than the idle mode timeout delay t3
(50ms minimum) will cause the DAC code to be updated.
The DAC output(s) will remain in Hi-Z until the channel
is updated following the second rising PWM input edge.
Since the analog output of the DAC cannot go below
ground, it may limit the lowest codes reachable as shown
in Figure 2b. Similarly, limiting can occur near full-scale
when the REF pin is tied to VCC. If VREF = VCC and the DAC
full-scale error (FSE) is positive, the output for the highest
codes limits at VCC, as shown in Figure 2c. No full-scale
limiting will occur if VREF is less than VCC–FSE.
Voltage Output
The LTC2644’s integrated rail-to-rail amplifier has guaranteed load regulation when sourcing or sinking up to
10mA at 5V, and 5mA at 3V.
Load regulation is a measure of the amplifier’s ability to
maintain the rated voltage accuracy over a wide range of
load current. The measured change in output voltage per
change in forced load current is expressed in LSB/mA.
DC output impedance is equivalent to load regulation, and
may be derived from it by simply calculating a change in
units from LSB/mA to Ω. The amplifier’s DC output impedance is 0.1Ω when driving a load well away from the rails.
When drawing a load current from either rail, the output
voltage headroom with respect to that rail is limited by
the 50Ω typical channel resistance of the output devices
(e.g., when sinking 1mA, the minimum output voltage is
The amplifier is stable driving capacitive loads of up to
500pF.
Rail-to-Rail Output Considerations
In any rail-to-rail voltage output device, the output is limited
to voltages within the supply range.
Offset and linearity are defined and tested over the region
of the DAC transfer function where no output limiting can
occur.
Board Layout
The PC board should have separate areas for the analog and
digital sections of the circuit. A single, solid ground plane
should be used, with analog and digital signals carefully
routed over separate areas of the plane. This keeps digital
signals away from sensitive analog signals and minimizes
the interaction between digital ground currents and the
analog section of the ground plane. The resistance from
the LTC2644 GND pin to the ground plane should be as
low as possible. Resistance here will add directly to the
effective DC output impedance of the device (typically
0.1Ω). Note that the LTC2644 is no more susceptible to
this effect than any other parts of this type; on the contrary, it allows layout-based performance improvements
to shine rather than limiting attainable performance with
excessive internal resistance.
2644f
16

LTC2644
OPERATION
Another technique for minimizing errors is to use a separate power ground return trace on another board layer.
The trace should run between the point where the power
supply is connected to the board and the DAC ground pin.
Thus the DAC ground pin becomes the common point for
analog ground, digital ground, and power ground. When
the LTC2644 is sinking large currents, this current flows
out of the ground pin and directly into the power ground
trace without affecting the analog ground plane voltage.
It is sometimes necessary to interrupt the ground plane
to confine digital ground currents to the digital portion of
the plane. When doing this, make the gap in the plane only
as long as it needs to be to serve its purpose and ensure
that no traces cross over the gap.
