The LTC®1655/LTC1655L are rail-to-rail voltage output,
16-bit digital-to-analog converters in an SO-8 package.
They include an output buffer and a reference. The 3-wire
serial interface is compatible with SPI/QSPI and
MICROWIRETM protocols. The CLK input has a Schmitt
trigger that allows direct optocoupler interface.

The LTC1655 has an onboard 2.048V reference that can be
overdriven to a higher voltage. The output swings from 0V
to 4.096V when using the internal reference. The typical
power dissipation is 3.0mW on a single 5V supply.
The LTC1655L has an onboard 1.25V reference that can be
overdriven to a higher voltage. The output swings from 0V
to 2.5V when using the internal reference. The typical
power dissipation is 1.8mW on a single 3V supply.

■
The LTC1655/LTC1655L are pin compatible with Linear
Technology’s 12-bit VOUT DAC family, allowing an easy
upgrade path. They are the only buffered 16-bit DACs in
an SO-8 package and they include an onboard reference
for standalone performance.

PIN FUNCTIONS
CLK (Pin 1): The TTL Level Input for the Serial Interface
Clock.
GND (Pin 5): Ground.
REF (Pin 6): Reference. Output of the internal reference is
2.048V (LTC1655), 1.25V (LTC1655L). There is a gain of
two from this pin to the output. The reference can be
overdriven from 2.2V to VCC/2 (LTC1655) and 1.3V to
VCC/2 (LTC1655L). When tied to VCC/2, the output will
swing from GND to VCC. The output can only swing to
within its offset specification of VCC (see Applications
Information).
DIN (Pin 2): The TTL Level Input for the Serial Interface
Data. Data on the DIN pin is latched into the shift register
on the rising edge of the serial clock and is loaded MSB
first. The LTC1655/LTC1655L requires a 16-bit word.
CS/LD (Pin 3): The TTL Level Input for the Serial Interface Enable and Load Control. When CS/LD is low, the
CLK signal is enabled, so the data can be clocked in.
When CS/LD is pulled high, data is loaded from the shift
register into the DAC register, updating the DAC output.
VOUT (Pin 7): Deglitched Rail-to-Rail Voltage Output. VOUT
clears to 0V on power-up.
VCC (Pin 8): Positive Supply Input. 4.5V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V
(LTC1655), 2.7V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V (LTC1655L). Requires a
0.1µF bypass capacitor to ground.
DOUT (Pin 4): Output of the Shift Register. Becomes valid
on the rising edge of the serial clock and swings from GND
to VCC.

DEFI ITIO S
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL): The difference between
the measured change and the ideal 1LSB change for any
two adjacent codes. The DNL error between any two codes
is calculated as follows:
DNL = (∆VOUT – LSB)/LSB
Where ∆VOUT is the measured voltage difference between
two adjacent codes.
Digital Feedthrough: The glitch that appears at the analog
output caused by AC coupling from the digital inputs when
they change state. The area of the glitch is specified in
(nV)(sec).
Full-Scale Error (FSE): The deviation of the actual fullscale voltage from ideal. FSE includes the effects of offset
and gain errors (see Applications Information).
Gain Error (GE): The difference between the full-scale
output of a DAC from its ideal full-scale value after offset
error has been adjusted.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL): The deviation from a straight
line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer
curve (Endpoint INL). Because the output cannot go below
zero, the linearity is measured between full scale and the
lowest code that guarantees the output will be greater than
zero. The INL error at a given input code is calculated as
follows:
INL = [VOUT – VOS – (VFS – VOS)(code/65535)]/LSB
Where VOUT is the output voltage of the DAC measured at
the given input code.
Least Significant Bit (LSB): The ideal voltage difference
between two successive codes.
LSB = 2VREF/65536
Resolution (n): Defines the number of DAC output states
(2n) that divide the full-scale range. Resolution does not
imply linearity.
Voltage Offset Error (VOS): Nominally, the voltage at the
output when the DAC is loaded with all zeros. A single
supply DAC can have a true negative offset, but the output
cannot go below zero (see Applications Information).
For this reason, single supply DAC offset is measured at
the lowest code that guarantees the output will be greater
than zero.
U
OPERATIO
Serial Interface
The data on the DIN input is loaded into the shift register
on the rising edge of the clock. The MSB is loaded first. The
DAC register loads the data from the shift register when
CS/LD is pulled high. The clock is disabled internally when
CS/LD is high. Note: CLK must be low before CS/LD is
pulled low to avoid an extra internal clock pulse. The input
word must be 16 bits wide.
The buffered output of the 16-bit shift register is available
on the DOUT pin which swings from GND to VCC.
Multiple LTC1655s/LTC1655Ls may be daisy-chained together by connecting the DOUT pin to the DIN pin of the next
chip while the clock and CS/LD signals remain common to
all chips in the daisy chain. The serial data is clocked to all
of the chips, then the CS/LD signal is pulled high to update
all of them simultaneously. The shift register and DAC
register are cleared to all 0s on power-up.
Voltage Output
The LTC1655/LTC1655L rail-to-rail buffered output can
source or sink 5mA over the entire operating temperature
range while pulling to within 600mV of the positive supply
voltage or ground. The output stage is equipped with a
deglitcher that gives a midscale glitch of 12nV-s. At powerup, the output clears to 0V.
The output swings to within a few millivolts of either supply rail when unloaded and has an equivalent output resistance of 40Ω (70Ω for the LTC1655L) when driving a load
to the rails. The output can drive 1000pF without going into
oscillation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Rail-to-Rail Output Considerations
In any rail-to-rail DAC, the output swing is limited to
voltages within the supply range.
If the DAC offset is negative, the output for the lowest
codes limits at 0V as shown in Figure 1b.
error (FSE) is positive, the output for the highest codes
limits at VCC as shown in Figure 1c. No full-scale limiting
can occur if VREF is less than (VCC – FSE)/2.
Offset and linearity are defined and tested over the region
of the DAC transfer function where no output limiting can
occur.
Similarly, limiting can occur near full-scale when the REF
pin is tied to VCC /2. If VREF = VCC /2 and the DAC full-scale

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
This circuit shows how to use an LTC1655 to make an
optoisolated digitally controlled 4mA to 20mA process
controller. The controller circuitry, including the
optoisolation, is powered by the loop voltage that can have
a wide range of 6V to 30V. The 2.048V reference output of
the LTC1655 is used for the 4mA offset current and VOUT
is used for the digitally controlled 0mA to 16mA current.
RS is a sense resistor and the op amp modulates the
transistor Q1 to provide the 4mA to 20mA current through
this resistor. The potentiometers allow for offset and fullscale adjustment. The control circuitry dissipates well
under the 4mA budget at zero scale.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
This circuit shows a digitally programmable current source
from an external voltage source using an external op amp,
an LT1218 and an NPN transistor (2N3440). Any digital
word from 0 to 65535 is loaded into the LTC1655 and its
output correspondingly swings from 0V to 4.096V. This
voltage will be forced across the resistor RA. If RA is
chosen to be 412Ω, the output current will range from
0mA at zero scale to 10mA at full scale. The minimum
voltage for VS is determined by the load resistor RL and
Q1’s VCESAT voltage. With a load resistor of 50Ω, the
voltage source can be 5V.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
This circuit shows how to measure negative offset. Since
LTC1655/LTC1655L operate on a single supply, if its
offset is negative, the output for code 0 limits to 0V. To
measure this negative offset, a negative supply is needed.
Connect resistor R1 as shown in the figure below. The
output voltage is the offset when code 0 is loaded in.
