It has rail-to-rail output buffers and is guaranteed monotonic. The LTC2634-L has a full-scale output of 2.5V, and operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply. The LTC2634-H has a full-scale output of 4.096V, and operates from a 4.5V to 5.5V supply. Each DAC can also operate with an external reference, which sets the full-scale output to the external reference voltage. n These DACs communicate via an SPI/MICROWIRE compatible 3-wire serial interface which operates at clock rates up to 50MHz. Serial data output (SDO), a hardware clear (CLR), and an asynchronous DAC update (LDAC) capability are available in the QFN package. The LTC2634 incorporates a power-on reset circuit. Options are available for reset to zero-scale or reset to mid-scale in internal reference mode, or reset to mid-scale in external reference mode after power-up.

LDAC (Pin 3, QFN Only): Asynchronous DAC Update Pin. If CS/LD is high, a falling edge on LDAC immediately updates the DAC registers with the contents of the input registers (similar to a software update). If CS/LD is low when LDAC goes low, the DAC registers are updated after CS/LD returns high. A low on the LDAC pin powers up the DACs. A software power-down command is ignored if LDAC is low. CS/LD (Pin 4/Pin 4): Serial Interface Chip Select/Load Input. When CS/LD is low, SCK is enabled for shifting data on SDI into the 32-bit shift register. When CS/LD is taken high, SCK is disabled and the specified command (see Table 1) is executed. SCK (Pin 5/Pin 5): Serial Interface Clock Input. CMOS and TTL compatible. DNC (Pins 6, 15, QFN Only): Do not connect these pins. SDO (Pin 7, QFN Only): Serial Interface Data Output. The serial output of the 32-bit shift register appears at the SDO pin. The data transferred to the device via the SDI pin is delayed 32 SCK rising edges before being output at the next falling edge. This pin is used for daisy-chain operation, it is always driven and never goes high impedance, even when CS/LD is high. See the Daisy-Chain Operation section. SDI (Pin 8/Pin 6): Serial Interface Data Input. Data on SDI is clocked into the DAC on the rising edge of SCK. The LTC2634 accepts input word lengths of either 24 or 32 bits. CLR (Pin 9, QFN Only): Asynchronous Clear Input. A logic low at this level-triggered input clears all registers and causes the DAC voltage output to reset to zero (LTC2634-Z) or mid-scale (LTC2634-MI/-MX). CMOS and TTL compatible. REF (Pin 10/Pin 7): Reference Voltage Input or Output. When external reference mode is selected, REF is an input (1V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC) where the voltage supplied sets the full-scale DAC output voltage. When internal reference is selected, the 10ppm/°C 1.25V (LTC2634-L) or 2.048V (LTC2634-H) internal reference (half full-scale) is available at REF. This output may be bypassed to GND with up to 10µF and must be buffered when driving external DC load current. REFLO (Pin 13, QFN only): Reference Low Pin. The voltage at this pin sets the zero-scale voltage of all DACs. This pin must be tied to GND. GND (Pin 14/Pin 10): Ground. VCC (Pin 16/Pin 1): Supply Voltage Input. 2.7V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V (LTC2634-L) or 4.5V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V (LTC2634-H). Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor. Exposed Pad (Pin 17/Pin 11): Ground. Must be soldered to PCB ground. 2634fc 16 LTC2634 Block Diagram INTERNAL REFERENCE GND SWITCH REF VREF VCC REGISTER REGISTER DAC A REGISTER VOUTA REGISTER (REFLO) DAC D VREF REGISTER REGISTER REGISTER DAC B REGISTER VREF VOUTB VOUTD DAC C SDI CS/LD CONTROL LOGIC SCK (LDAC) VOUTC DECODE 32-BIT SHIFT REGISTER POWER-ON RESET (CLR) (SDO) 2634 BD ( ) QFN PACKAGE ONLY 2634fc 17 LTC2634 Timing Diagrams t1 t2 SCK t3 1 t6 t4 2 3 23 24 t10 SDI t5 t7 CS/LD t12 SDO t11 t9 LDAC 2634 F01a Figure 1a CS/LD t11 LDAC 2634 F01b Figure 1b 2634fc 18 LTC2634 Operation The LTC2634 is a family of quad voltage output DACs in 16-lead QFN and 10-lead MSOP packages. Each DAC can operate rail-to-rail using an external reference, or with its full-scale voltage set by an integrated reference. Eighteen combinations of accuracy (12-, 10- and 8-bit), power-on reset value (zero-scale, mid-scale in internal reference mode, or mid-scale in external reference mode), and fullscale voltage (2.5V or 4.096V) are available. The LTC2634 is controlled using a 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE compatible interface. Power-On Reset The LTC2634-HZ/LTC2634-LZ clear the output 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 LTC2634 contains circuitry to reduce the power-on glitch: the analog output typically rises less than 5mV above zeroscale during power on. In general, the glitch amplitude decreases as the power supply ramp time is increased. See “Power-On Reset Glitch” in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. The LTC2634-HMI/LTC2634-HMX/LTC2634-LMI/ LTC2634‑LMX provide an alternative reset, setting the output to mid-scale when power is first applied. The LTC2634-LMI and LTC2634-HMI power up in internal reference mode, with the output set to a mid-scale voltage of 1.25V and 2.048V, respectively. The LTC2634-LMX and LTC2634-HMX power up in external reference mode, with the output set to mid-scale of the external reference. Default reference mode selection is described in the Reference Modes section. Power Supply Sequencing The voltage at REF (Pin 10, QFN/Pin 7, MSOP) must be kept within the range –0.3V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC + 0.3V (see Absolute Maximum Ratings). Particular care should be taken to observe these limits during power supply turnon and turn-off sequences, when the voltage at VCC is in transition. Transfer Function The digital-to-analog transfer function is: k VOUT(IDEAL) = N ( VREF – VREFLO ) + VREFLO 2 where k is the decimal equivalent of the binary DAC input code, N is the resolution, and VREF is either 2.5V (LTC2634-LMI/LTC2634-LMX/LTC2634-LZ) or 4.096V (LTC2634-HMI/LTC2634-HMX/LTC2634-HZ) when in internal reference mode, and the voltage at REF when in external reference mode. The resulting DAC output span is 0V to VREF , as it is necessary to tie REFLO to GND. Serial Interface The CS/LD input is level-triggered. When this input is taken low, it acts as a chip-select signal, enabling the SDI and SCK buffers and 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 12-, 10- or 8-bit input code, ordered MSB to LSB, followed by 4, 6 or 8 don’t-care bits (LTC2634-12/LTC2634-10/LTC2634-8 respectively; see Figure 2). Data can only be transferred to the device when the CS/LD signal is low, beginning on the first rising edge of SCK. SCK may be high or low at the falling edge 2634fc 19 LTC2634 Operation of CS/LD. The rising edge of CS/LD ends the data transfer and causes the device to execute the command specified in the 24-bit input sequence. The complete sequence is shown in Figure 3a. The command (C3-C0) and address (A3-A0) assignments are shown in Tables 1 and 2. The first four commands in Table 1 consist of write and update operation. A write operation loads a 16-bit data word from the 24-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 12-, 10- or 8-bit input code, and is converted to an analog voltage at the DAC output. Write to and update combines the first two commands. The update operation also powers up the DAC if it had been in power-down mode. The data path and registers are shown in the Block Diagram.

To use the 32-bit width, 8 don’t care bits must be transferred to the device first, followed by the 24-bit sequence described. Figure 3b shows the 32‑bit sequence. The 16-bit data word is ignored for all commands that do not include a write operation. Daisy-Chain Operation (QFN Package) The serial output of the shift register appears at the SDO pin on the QFN package. Data transferred to the device from the SDI input is delayed 32 SCK rising edges before being output at the next SCK falling edge, therefore, daisy chaining multiple LTC2634 DACs requires 32-bit data write cycles. 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. Figure 5 shows a block diagram for daisy-chain operation. 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. Reference Modes For applications where an accurate external reference is either not available, or not desirable due to limited space, the LTC2634 has a low noise, user-selectable, integrated reference. The integrated reference voltage is internally amplified by 2x to provide the full-scale DAC output voltage range. The LTC2634-LMI/LTC2634-LMX/LTC2634-LZ provides a full-scale DAC output of 2.5V. The LTC2634HMI/LTC2634‑HMX/LTC2634-HZ provides a full-scale DAC output of 4.096V. The internal reference can be useful in applications where the supply voltage is poorly regulated. Internal Reference mode can be selected by using command 0110b, and is the power-on default for LTC2634-HZ/LTC2634-LZ, as well as for LTC2634-HMI/ LTC2634-LMI. The 10ppm/°C, 1.25V (LTC2634-LMI/LTC2634-LMX/ LTC2634-LZ) or 2.048V (LTC2634-HMI/LTC2634-HMX/ LTC2634-HZ) internal reference is available at the REF pin. 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 using command 0111b. In this mode, an input voltage supplied externally to the REF pin provides the reference (1V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC) and the supply current is reduced. The external reference voltage supplied sets the full-scale DAC output voltage. External reference mode is the power-on default for LTC2634-HMX/LTC2634-LMX. The reference mode of LTC2634-HZ/LTC2634-LZ/ LTC2634‑HMI/LTC2634-LMI (internal reference power-on default), can be changed by software command after power up. The same is true for LTC2634-HMX/-LMX (external reference power-on default). The LTC2634’s QFN package offers a REFLO pin for the negative reference. REFLO must be connected to GND. 2634fc 21 LTC2634 Operation Power-Down Mode For power-constrained applications, power-down mode can be used to reduce the supply current whenever less than four DAC outputs are needed. When in power down, the buffer amplifiers, bias circuits, and integrated reference circuits 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 200k resistors. Input- and DAC-register contents are not disturbed during power down. Any DAC 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 supply current is reduced approximately 20% for each DAC powered down. The integrated reference is automatically powered down when external reference is selected using command 0111b. In addition, all the DAC channels and the integrated reference together can be put into powerdown mode using power-down chip command 0101b. When the integrated reference and all DAC channels are in power-down mode, the REF pin becomes high impedance (typically > 1GΩ). For all power-down commands the 16-bit data word is ignored. Normal operation resumes after executing any command that includes a DAC update, (as shown in Table 1) or pulling the asynchronous LDAC pin low. 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 10µs. However, if all four DACs and the integrated reference are powered down, then the main bias generation circuit block has been automatically shut down in addition to the DAC amplifiers and reference buffers. In this case, the power-up delay time is 12µs. The power-up of the integrated reference depends on the command that powered it down. If the reference is powered down using the select external reference command (0111b), then it can only be powered back up using select internal reference command (0110b). However, if the reference was powered down using power-down chip command (0101b), then in addition to select internal reference command (0110b), any command (in software or using the LDAC pin) that powers up the DACs will also power up the integrated reference. Voltage Output The LTC2634’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 ohms. 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 50Ω • 1mA, or 50mV). See the graph “Headroom at Rails vs Output Current” in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. The amplifier is stable driving capacitive loads of up to 500pF. 2634fc 22 LTC2634 Operation Rail-to-Rail Output Considerations In any rail-to-rail voltage output device, the output is limited to voltages within the supply range. Since the analog output of the DAC cannot go below ground, it may limit for the lowest codes as shown in Figure 4b. 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 4c. No full-scale limiting can occur if VREF is less than VCC – FSE. 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 LTC2634 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 LTC2634 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. 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 LTC2634 is sinking large currents, this current flows out the ground pin and directly to 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. 2634fc 23 24 X X SDI SDO SCK CS/LD 1 X X 2 X X 3 X 4 X X DON’T CARE X 5 C3 SDI C2 2 C1 3 X X 6 X X 7 4 7 A1 ADDRESS A2 6 A0 8 D11 9 D10 10 D9 D8 12 D7 13 D6 14 24-BIT INPUT WORD 11 D5 15 D3 17 DATA WORD D4 16 D2 18 D1 C3 C3 C2 10 C1 11 C2 C1 COMMAND WORD 9 C0 C0 A3 A3 A2 14 A1 15 A2 A1 ADDRESS WORD 13 A0 A0 16 17 D11 D11 PREVIOUS 32-BIT INPUT WORD 12 D10 D10 18 t2 t4 t12 D5 D5 23 PREVIOUS D11 t3 17 D6 D6 22 SDO t1 D7 D7 21 D11 D8 D8 20 SDI SCK D9 D9 19 D3 25 X 21 D10 D4 18 D3 DATA WORD D4 24 D0 20 PREVIOUS D10 19 Figure 3a.
