The LTC®2657 is a family of octal I2C 16-/12-Bit Rail-toRail DACs with Integrated 10ppm/°C Max Reference. The
DACs have built-in high performance, rail-to-rail, output
buffers and are guaranteed monotonic. The LTC2657-L has
a full-scale output of 2.5V with the integrated reference and
operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply. The LTC2657-H
has a full-scale output of 4.096V with the integrated reference
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 2 times the external reference voltage.
Integrated Reference 10ppm/°C Max
Maximum INL Error: ±4LSB
Guaranteed Monotonic Over Temperature
Selectable Internal or External Reference
2.7V to 5.5V Supply Range (LTC2657-L)
Integrated Reference Buffers
Ultralow Crosstalk between DACs(0.8nV•s)
Power-On-Reset to Zero-Scale/Mid-Scale
400kHz I2C Interface
Tiny 20-Lead 4mm × 5mm QFN and 20-Lead
Thermally enhanced TSSOP packages
The parts use a 2-wire I2C compatible serial interface. The
LTC2657 operates in both the standard mode (maximum
clock rate of 100kHz) and the fast mode (maximum clock
rate of 400kHz). The LTC2657 incorporates a power-on reset
circuit that is controlled by the PORSEL pin. If PORSEL is tied
to GND the DACs reset to zero-scale at power-up. If PORSEL
is tied to VCC , the DACs reset to mid-scale at power-up.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: All voltages are with respect to GND.
Note 3: Linearity and monotonicity are defined from code kL to code
2N – 1, where N is the resolution and kL is the lower end code for which
no output limiting occurs. For VREF = 2.5V and N = 16, kL = 128 and
linearity is defined from code 128 to code 65535. For VREF = 2.5V and
N = 12, kL = 8 and linearity is defined from code 8 to code 4,095.
Note 4: Inferred from measurement at code 128 (LTC2657-16) or code 8
(LTC2657-12).
Note 5: DC crosstalk is measured with VCC = 5V and using internal
reference with the measured DAC at mid-scale.
Note 6: 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 7: Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
Note 8: Digital inputs at 0V or VCC.
Note 9: Guaranteed by design and not production tested.
Note 10: Internal reference mode. DAC is stepped 1/4 scale to 3/4 scale
and 3/4 scale to 1/4 scale. Load is 2kΩ in parallel with 200pF to GND.
Note 11: VCC = 5V (H-Options) or VCC = 3V (L-Options), internal reference
mode. DAC is stepped ±1LSB between half-scale and half-scale –1. Load is
2k in parallel with 200pF to GND.
Note 12: DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch that appears at the output
of one DAC due to a full-scale change at the output of another DAC. It is
measured with VCC = 5V, using internal reference, with the measured DAC
at mid-scale.
Note 13: CB = capacitance of one bus line in pF.
Note 14: Gain error specification may be degraded for reference input
voltages less than 1V. See Gain Error vs Reference Input curve in the
Typical Performance Characteristics section.

3, 5, 6, 15, 16, 17, 18): DAC Analog Voltage Outputs.
The output range is 0V to 2 times the voltage at the
REFIN/OUT pin.
REFCOMP(Pin2/Pin4):InternalReferenceCompensation
pin. For low noise and reference stability, tie 0.1μF cap
to GND. Connect to GND to use an external reference
at start-up. Command 0111b must still be issued to
turn off internal reference.
REFIN/OUT (Pin 5/Pin 7): This pin acts as the Internal
Reference output in Internal Reference mode and acts
as the Reference Input pin in External Reference mode.
When acting as an output the nominal voltage at this
pin is 1.25V for-L Options and 2.048V for-H Options.
For low noise and reference stability tie a capacitor
to GND. Capacitor value must be <= CREFCOMP.
In External Reference mode, the allowable reference
input voltage range is 0.5V to VCC/2.
LDAC (Pin 6/Pin 8): Asynchronous DAC Update Pin.
A falling edge on this input after four bytes have been
written into the part immediately updates the DAC
register with the contents of the input register. A low
on this input without a complete 32-bit (four bytes
including the slave address) data write transfer to the
part does not update the DAC output. Software powerdown is disabled when LDAC is low.
CA2 (Pin 9/Pin 7): Chip Address Bit 2. Tie this pin
to VCC , GND or leave it floating to select an I2C slave
address for the part (See Table 2).
This high impedance pin requires a pull-up resistor or
current source to VCC.
SDA (Pin 9/Pin 11 ): Serial Data Bidirectional Pin. Data
is shifted into the SDA pin and acknowledged by the
SDA pin. This is a high impedance pin while data is
shifted in. It is an open-drain N-channel output during
acknowledgement. This pin requires a pull-up resistor
or current source to VCC.
CA1 (Pin 10/Pin 12): Chip Address Bit 1. Tie this pin
to VCC , GND or leave it floating to select an I2C slave
address for the part (See Table 2)
CA0 (Pin 11/Pin 13): Chip Address Bit 0. Tie this pin
to VCC , GND or leave it floating to select an I2C slave
address for the part (See Table 2).
PORSEL (Pin 12/Pin 14): Power-On-Reset Select pin. If
tied to GND, the part resets to Zero-Scale at power up. If
tied to VCC , the part resets to Mid-Scale at power up.
VCC (Pin 17/Pin 19): Supply Voltage Input. For –L
Options, 2.7V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V, and for –H Options, 4.5V
≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V. Bypass to ground with a 0.1μF capacitor
placed as close to pin as possible.
GND (Pin 18/Pin 20): Ground.
REFLO (Pin 19/Pin 1): Reference Low pin. The voltage
at this pin sets the zero-scale voltage of all DACs. This
pin should be tied to GND.
Exposed Pad (Pin 21/Pin 21): Ground. Must be Soldered
to PCB Ground.
SCL (Pin 8/Pin 10): Serial Clock Input Pin. Data is
shifted into the SDA pin at the rising edges of the clock.

LTC2657
OPERATION
The LTC2657 is a family of octal voltage output DACs
in 20-lead 4mm × 5mm QFN and in 20-lead thermally
enhanced TSSOP packages. Each DAC can operate railto-rail in external reference mode, or with its full-scale
voltage set by an integrated reference. Four combinations
of accuracy (16- and 12-bit), and full-scale voltage (2.5V
or 4.096V) are available. The LTC2657 is controlled using
a 2-wire I2C compatible interface.
Power-On Reset
The LTC2657-L/-H clear the output to zero-scale if the
PORSEL pin is tied to GND 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 LTC2657 contains
circuitry to reduce the power-on glitch. The analog outputs
typically rise less than 10mV 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. See “Power-On Reset Glitch” in
the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Alternatively, if PORSEL is tied to VCC , The LTC2657-L/-H
set the output to mid-scale when power is first applied.
Power Supply Sequencing and Start-Up
For the LTC2657 family of parts, the internal reference is
powered-up at start-up by default. If an external reference is
to be used, the REFCOMP pin (Pin 4 –TSSOP, Pin 2 -QFN )
must be hardwired to GND. This configuration allows the
use of an external reference at start-up and converts the
REFIN/OUT pin to an input. However, the internal reference
will still be ON and draw supply current. In order to use
an external reference, command 0111b should be used
to turn the Internal Reference OFF.(See Table1.)
The voltage at REFIN/OUT (Pin 7 –TSSOP, Pin 5 -QFN)
should be kept within the range –0.3V ≤ REFIN/OUT
≤ 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 19 –TSSOP, Pin 17 -QFN ) is in transition.
Transfer Function
The digital-to-analog transfer function is:
⎛k⎞
VOUT(IDEAL) = ⎜ ⎟ • 2 • ⎡⎣VREF − REFLO⎤⎦ + REFLO
⎝2N ⎠
where k is the decimal equivalent of the binary DAC input
code, N is the resolution, and VREF is the voltage at the
REFIN/OUT Pin. The resulting DAC output span is 0V to
2 • VREF, as it is necessary to tie REFLO to GND. VREF is
nominally 1.25V for LTC2657-L and 2.048V for LTC2657-H,
in Internal Reference Mode.

Serial Interface
The LTC2657 communicates with a host using the standard 2-wire I2C interface. The Timing Diagrams (Figures
1 and 2) show the timing relationship of the signals on
the bus. The two bus lines, SDA and SCL, must be high
when the bus is not in use. External pull-up resistors or
current sources are required on these lines. The value of
2657f
18
LTC2657
OPERATION
these pull-up resistors is dependent on the power supply
and can be obtained from the I2C specifications. For an
I2C bus operating in the fast mode, an active pull-up will
be necessary if the bus capacitance is greater than 200pF.
The LTC2657 is a receive-only (slave) device. The master
can write to the LTC2657. The LTC2657 does not respond
to a read command from the master.
The START (S) and STOP (P) Conditions
When the bus is not in use, both SCL and SDA must be high.
A bus master signals the beginning of a communication
to a slave device by transmitting a START condition (See
Figure 1). A START condition is generated by transitioning
SDA from high to low while SCL is high. When the master
has finished communicating with the slave, it issues a STOP
condition. A STOP condition is generated by transitioning
SDA from low to high while SCL is high. The bus is then
free for communication with another I2C device.
Acknowledge
The Acknowledge signal is used for handshaking between
the master and the slave. An Acknowledge (active LOW)
generated by the slave lets the master know that the
latest byte of information was received. The Acknowledge
related clock pulse is generated by the master. The master
releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the Acknowledge
clock pulse. The slave-receiver must pull down the SDA
bus line during the Acknowledge clock pulse so that it
remains a stable LOW during the HIGH period of this clock
pulse. The LTC2657 responds to a write by a master in
this manner. The LTC2657 does not acknowledge a read
(retains SDA HIGH during the period of the Acknowledge
clock pulse).
Chip Address
The state of CA0, CA1 and CA2 decides the slave address
of the part. The pins CA0, CA1 and CA2 can be each set
to any one of three states: VCC , GND or float. This results
in 27 selectable addresses for the part. The slave address
assignments are shown in Table 2.

In addition to the address selected by the address pins, the
parts also respond to a global address. This address allows
a common write to all LTC2657 parts to be accomplished
with one 3-byte write transaction on the I2C bus. The
global address is a 7-bit on-chip hardwired address and
is not selectable by CA0, CA1 and CA2. The addresses
corresponding to the states of CA0, CA1 and CA2 and
the global address are shown in Table 2. The maximum
capacitive load allowed on the address pins (CA0, CA1
and CA2) is 10pF, as these pins are driven during address
detection to determine if they are floating.

OPERATION

combination with the appropriate DAC address, (n). The
integrated reference is automatically powered down when
external reference mode is selected using command
0111b. In addition, all the DAC channels and the integrated
reference together can be put into power-down mode
using “Power-Down Chip” command 0101b. For all powerdown commands the 16-bit data word is ignored, but still
required in order to complete a full communication cycle.
The master initiates communication with the LTC2657
with a START condition and a 7-bit slave address followed
by the Write bit (W) = 0. The LTC2657 acknowledges by
pulling the SDA pin low at the 9th clock if the 7-bit slave
address matches the address of the part (set by CA0, CA1
and CA2) or the global address. The master then transmits
three bytes of write data. The LTC2657 acknowledges each
byte of data by pulling the SDA line low at the 9th clock of
each data byte transmission. After receiving three complete
bytes of data, the LTC2657 executes the command specified
in the 24-bit input word. If more than three data bytes are
transmitted after a valid 7-bit slave address, the LTC2657
does not acknowledge the extra bytes of data (SDA is
high during the 9th clock). The first byte of the input word
consists of the 4-bit command followed by 4-bit address.
The next two bytes consist of the 16-bit data word. The
16-bit data word consists of the 16- or 12-bit input code,
MSB to LSB, followed by 0 or 4 don’t care bits (LTC265716 and LTC2657-12, respectively). A typical LTC2657 write
transaction is shown in Figure 2. 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.
In an update operation, the data word is copied from the
input register to the DAC register and converted to an analog
voltage at the DAC output. 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.
Normal operation resumes by executing any command
which includes a DAC update, in software as shown in Table
1 or using the asynchronous LDAC pin. 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 eight DACs
are in a powered-down state prior to the update command,
the power-up delay time is 12μs. If on the other hand,
all eight DACs and the integrated reference 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 14μs. 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 by sending “Select Internal Reference” command
(0110b). However if the reference was powered down by
sending “Power Down Chip” command (0101b), then in
addition to “Select Internal Reference” command (0110b),
any command that powers up the DACs will also power
up the integrated reference.
Power-Down Mode
Reference Modes
For power-constrained applications, power-down mode
can be used to reduce the supply current whenever less
than eight 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 80k resistors. Input- and DAC-register contents
are not disturbed during power-down.
For applications where an accurate external reference is
not available, the LTC2657 has a user-selectable, integrated
reference. The LTC2657-L has a 1.25V reference that
provides a full-scale output of 2.5V. The LTC2657-H has
a 2.048V reference that provides a full-scale output of
4.096V. Both references exhibit a typical temperature drift
of 2ppm/°C. Internal Reference mode can be selected
by using command 0110b, and is the power-on default.
A buffer is needed if the internal reference is required to
drive external circuitry. For reference stability and low
noise, it is recommended that a 0.1μF capacitor be tied
between REFCOMP and GND. In this configuration, the
Any channel or combination of channels can be put
into power-down mode by using command 0100b in
2657f
20
LTC2657
OPERATION
internal reference can drive up to 0.1μF capacitive load
without any stability problems. In order to ensure stable
operation, the capacitive load on the REFIN/OUT pin should
not exceed the capacitive load on the REFCOMP pin.
The amplifiers are stable driving capacitive loads of up
to 1000pF.
The DAC can also operate in External Reference mode using
command 0111b. In this mode, the REFIN/OUT pin acts as
an input that sets the DAC’s reference voltage. The input is
high impedance and does not load the external reference
source. The acceptable voltage range at this pin is 0.5V ≤
REFIN/OUT ≤ VCC/2. The resulting full-scale output voltage
is 2 • VREFIN/OUT. For using External Reference at Start-Up,
see the Power Supply Sequencing and Start-Up Section.
The excellent load regulation and DC crosstalk performance
of these devices is achieved in part by keeping “signal”
and “power” grounds separate.
Integrated Reference Buffers
Each of the eight DACs in LTC2657 has its own integrated
high performance reference buffer. The buffers have very
high input impedance and do not load the reference voltage
source. These buffers shield the Reference Voltage from
glitches caused by DAC switching and thus minimize
DAC-to-DAC Dynamic Crosstalk. See the curve DACto-DAC Crosstalk (Dynamic) in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section.
Voltage Outputs
Each of the eight rail-to-rail amplifiers contained in LTC2657
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 0.040Ω 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
= 30mV. See the graph Headroom at Rails vs Output Current
in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Board Layout
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 con-nected to analog
ground. The REFLO pin should be connected to system
star ground. Resistance from the REFLO pin to system
star ground should be as low as possible.
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 outputs of the device cannot go below
ground, they may limit for the lowest codes as shown in
Figure 3b. Similarly, limiting can occur in External Reference mode near full-scale when the REFIN/OUT pin is at
VCC/2 . If VREFIN/OUT = VCC/2 and the DAC full-scale error
(FSE) is positive, the output for the highest codes limits
at VCC as shown in Figure 3c. No full-scale limiting can
occur if VREFIN/OUT ≤ (VCC – FSE)/2.
Offset and linearity are defined and tested over the region
of the DAC transfer function where no output limiting can
occur.
