These parts establish advanced performance standards
for output drive, crosstalk and load regulation in singlesupply, voltage output multiples.
The parts use a simple SPI/MICROWIRETM compatible
3-wire serial interface which can be operated at clock
rates up to 50MHz. Daisy-chain capability and a hardware
CLR function are included.

APPLICATIO S
■
■
■
■
The LTC2604/LTC2614/LTC2624 incorporate a poweron reset circuit. During power-up, the voltage outputs
rise less than 10mV above zero scale; and after powerup, they stay at zero scale until a valid write and update
take place.

Note 5: RL = 2kΩ to GND or VCC.
Note 6: Guaranteed by design and not production tested.
Note 7: Inferred from measurement at code 256 (LTC2604), code 64
(LTC2614) or code 16 (LTC2624), and at full scale.
Note 8: VCC = 5V, VREF = 4.096V. DAC is stepped 1/4 scale to 3/4 scale
and 3/4 scate to 1/4 scale. Load is 2k in parallel with 200pF to GND.
Note 9: VCC = 5V, VREF = 4.096V. DAC is stepped 1LSB between half scale
and half scale –1. Load is 2k in parallel with 200pF to GND.
Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: Linearity and monotonicity are defined from code kL to code
2N – 1, where N is the resolution and kL is given by kL = 0.016(2N/VREF),
rounded to the nearest whole code. For VREF = 4.096V and N = 16,
kL = 256, linearity is defined from code 256 to code 65,535.
Note 3: Digital inputs at 0V or VCC.
Note 4: DC crosstalk is measured with VCC = 5V and VREF = 4.096V, with
the measured DAC at midscale, unless otherwise noted.

Outputs. The output range is from REF LO to REF x.
CS/LD (Pin 7): Serial Interface Chip Select/Load Input.
When CS/LD is low, SCK is enabled for shifting data on SDI
into the register. When CS/LD is taken high, SCK is
disabled and the specified command (see Table 1) is
executed.
SCK (Pin 8): Serial Interface Clock Input. CMOS and TTL
compatible.

OPERATIO
Power-On Reset
The LTC2604/LTC2614/LTC2624 clear the outputs to zero
scale when power is first applied, making system initialization consistent and repeatable.
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 LTC2604/
LTC2614/LTC2624 contain circuitry to reduce the poweron glitch; furthermore, the glitch amplitude can be made
arbitrarily small by reducing the ramp rate of the power
supply. For example, if the power supply is ramped to 5V
in 1ms, the analog outputs rise less than 10mV above
ground (typ) during power-on. See Power-On Reset Glitch
in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Power Supply Sequencing
The voltage at REF (Pins 3, 6, 12 and 15) should be kept
within the range – 0.3V ≤ REF x ≤ VCC + 0.3V (see Absolute
Maximum Ratings). Particular care should be taken to
observe these limits during power supply turn-on and
turn-off sequences, when the voltage at VCC (Pin 16) is in
transition.
Transfer Function
The digital-to-analog transfer function is
 k
VOUT(IDEAL) =  N  [REF x – REFLO] + REFLO
2 
where k is the decimal equivalent of the binary DAC input
code, N is the resolution and REF x is the voltage at REF A,
REF B, REF C and REF D (Pins 3, 6, 12 and 15).
Serial Interface
The CS/LD input is level triggered. When this input is taken
low, it acts as a chip-select signal, powering-on the SDI
and SCK buffers and enabling the input shift register. Data
(SDI input) is transferred at the next 24 rising SCK edges.
The 4-bit command, C3-C0, is loaded first; then the 4-bit
DAC address, A3-A0; and finally the 16-bit data word. The
data word comprises the 16-, 14- or 12-bit input code,
ordered MSB-to-LSB, followed by 0, 2 or 4 don’t-care bits
(LTC2604, LTC2614 and LTC2624 respectively). Data can

only be transferred to the device when the CS/LD signal is
low.The rising edge of CS/LD ends the data transfer and
causes the device to carry out the action specified in the
24-bit input word. The complete sequence is shown in
Figure 2a.
The command (C3-C0) and address (A3-A0) assignments
are shown in Table 1. The first four commands in the table
consist of write and update operations. A write operation
loads a 16-bit data word from the 32-bit shift register into
the input register of the selected DAC, n. An update
operation copies the data word from the input register to
the DAC register. Once copied into the DAC register, the
data word becomes the active 16-, 14- or 12-bit input
code, and is converted to an analog voltage at the DAC
output. The update operation also powers up the selected
DAC if it had been in power-down mode. The data path and
registers are shown in the block diagram.
While the minimum input word is 24 bits, it may optionally
be extended to 32 bits. To use the 32-bit word width, 8
don’t-care bits are transferred to the device first, followed
by the 24-bit word as just described. Figure 2b shows the
32-bit sequence. The 32-bit word is required for daisychain operation, and is also available to accommodate
microprocessors which have a minimum word width of 16
bits (2 bytes).

Daisy-Chain Operation
Power-Down Mode
The serial output of the shift register appears at the SDO
pin. Data transferred to the device from the SDI input is
delayed 32 SCK rising edges before being output at the
next SCK falling edge.
For power-constrained applications, power-down mode
can be used to reduce the supply current whenever less
than four outputs are needed. When in power-down, the
buffer amplifiers, bias circuits and reference inputs are
disabled, and draw essentially zero current. The DAC
outputs are put into a high-impedance state, and the
output pins are passively pulled to ground through individual 90k resistors. Input- and DAC-register contents are
not disturbed during power-down.
The SDO output can be used to facilitate control of multiple
serial devices from a single 3-wire serial port (i.e., SCK,
SDI and CS/LD). Such a “daisy chain” series is configured
by connecting SDO of each upstream device to SDI of the
next device in the chain. The shift registers of the devices
are thus connected in series, effectively forming a single
input shift register which extends through the entire chain.
Because of this, the devices can be addressed and controlled individually by simply concatenating their input
words; the first instruction addresses the last device in the
chain and so forth. The SCK and CS/LD signals are
common to all devices in the series.
In use, CS/LD is first taken low. Then the concatenated
input data is transferred to the chain, using SDI of the first
device as the data input. When the data transfer is complete, CS/LD is taken high, completing the instruction
sequence for all devices simultaneously. A single device
can be controlled by using the no-operation command
(1111) for the other devices in the chain.
Any channel or combination of channels can be put into
power-down mode by using command 0100b in combination with the appropriate DAC address, (n). The 16-bit data
word is ignored. The supply current is reduced by approximately 1/4 for each DAC powered down. The effective
resistance at REF x (pins 3, 6, 12 and 15) are at highimpedance input (typically > 1GΩ) when the corresponding DACs are powered down.
Normal operation can be resumed by executing any command which includes a DAC update, as shown in Table 1.
The selected DAC is powered up as its voltage output is
updated. When a DAC which is in a powered-down state is
powered up and updated, normal settling is delayed. If less
than four DACs are in a powered-down state prior to the
update command, the power-up delay time is 5µs. If on the
2604f
11

U
OPERATIO
other hand, all four DACs are powered down, then the main
bias generation circuit block has been automatically shut
down in addition to the individual DAC amplifiers and
reference inputs. In this case, the power up delay time is
12µs (for VCC = 5V) or 30µs (for VCC = 3V).
Voltage Outputs
Each of the four rail-to-rail amplifiers contained in these
parts has guaranteed load regulation when sourcing or
sinking up to 15mA at 5V (7.5mA at 3V).
Load regulation is a measure of the amplifier’s ability to
maintain the rated voltage accuracy over a wide range of
load conditions. The measured change in output voltage
per milliampere of forced load current change 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 Ohms. The amplifiers’ DC output
impedance is 0.025Ω 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
30Ω typical channel resistance of the output devices; e.g.,
when sinking 1mA, the minimum output voltage = 30Ω •
1mA = 25mV. See the graph Headroom at Rails vs Output
Current in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section.
The PC board should have separate areas for the analog
and digital sections of the circuit. This keeps digital signals
away from sensitive analog signals and facilitates the use
of separate digital and analog ground planes which have
minimal capacitive and resistive interaction with each
other.
Digital and analog ground planes should be joined at only
one point, establishing a system star ground as close to
the device’s ground pin as possible. Ideally, the analog
ground plane should be located on the component side of
the board, and should be allowed to run under the part to
shield it from noise. Analog ground should be a continuous and uninterrupted plane, except for necessary lead
pads and vias, with signal traces on another layer.
The GND pin functions as a return path for power supply
currents in the device and should be connected to analog
ground. Resistance from the GND pin to system star
ground should be as low as possible. When a zero scale
DAC output voltage of zero is desired, the REFLO pin
(pin 2) should be connected to system star ground.
Rail-to-Rail Output Considerations
In any rail-to-rail voltage output device, the output is
limited to voltages within the supply range.
Board Layout
Since the analog outputs of the device cannot go below
ground, they may limit for the lowest codes as shown in
Figure 3b. Similarly, limiting can occur near full scale
when the REF pins are tied to VCC. If REF x = VCC and the
DAC full-scale error (FSE) is positive, the output for the
highest codes limits at VCC as shown in Figure 3c. No fullscale limiting can occur if REF x is less than VCC – FSE.
The excellent load regulation and DC crosstalk performance of these devices is achieved in part by keeping
“signal” and “power” grounds separate.
Offset and linearity are defined and tested over the region
of the DAC transfer function where no output limiting can
occur.
The amplifiers are stable driving capacitive loads of up to
1000pF.
