LTC2656 Octal 16-/12-Bit Rail-to-Rail DACs with 10ppm/C Max Reference FEATURES n n n n n n n n n n DESCRIPTION Precision 10ppm/C Max Reference Maximum INL Error: 4LSB at 16 Bits Guaranteed Monotonic over Temperature Selectable Internal or External Reference 2.7V to 5.5V Supply Range (LTC2656-L) Integrated Reference Buffers Ultralow Crosstalk Between DACs(<1nV*s) Power-On-Reset to Zero-Scale/Mid-scale Asynchronous LDAC Update Pin Tiny 20-Lead 4mm x 5mm QFN and 20-Lead Thermally Enhanced TSSOP Packages The LTC(R)2656 is a family of octal 16-/12-bit rail-to-rail DACs with a precision integrated reference. The DACs have built-in high performance, rail-to-rail, output buffers and are guaranteed monotonic. The LTC2656-L has a full-scale output of 2.5V with the integrated 10ppm/C reference and operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply. The LTC2656-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 DAC full-scale output to two times the external reference voltage. These DACs communicate via a SPI/MICROWIRETM compatible 4-wire serial interface which operates at clock rates up to 50MHz. The LTC2656 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. If PORSEL is tied to VCC, the DACs reset to mid-scale.

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 (LTC2656-16) or code 8 (LTC2656-12). 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. l 50 MHz 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 2k in parallel with 200pF to GND. Note 11: VCC = 5V, internal reference mode. DAC is stepped 1LSB between half scale and half scale - 1LSB. 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 and using internal reference, with the measured DAC at mid-scale. Note 13: Gain error specification may be degraded for reference input voltages less than 1V.

The voltage at this pin sets the zero-scale voltage of all DACs. REFLO should be tied to GND. VOUTA to VOUTH (Pins 2, 3, 5, 6, 15, 16, 17, 18/Pins 20, 1, 3, 4, 13, 14, 15, 16): DAC Analog Voltage Outputs. The output range is 0V to 2 times the voltage at the REFIN/OUT pin. REFCOMP (Pin 4/Pin 2): Internal Reference Compensation Pin. For low noise and reference stability, tie a 0.1F capacitor to GND. Connect REFCOMP to GND to allow the use of external reference at start-up. REFIN/OUT (Pin 7/Pin 5): 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 from this pin to GND. This capacitor value must be CREFCOMP , where CREFCOMP is the capacitance tied to the REFCOMP pin. In external reference mode, the allowable reference input voltage range is 0.5V to VCC/2. LDAC (Pin 8/Pin 6): Asynchronous DAC Update Pin. If CS/LD is high, a falling edge on LDAC immediately updates the DAC register with the contents of the input register (similar to a software update). If CS/LD is low when LDAC goes low, the DAC register is updated after CS/LD returns high. A low on the LDAC pin powers up the DAC outputs. All the software power-down commands are ignored if LDAC is low when CS/LD goes high. SCK (Pin 10/Pin 8): Serial Interface Clock Input. CMOS and TTL compatible. SDI (Pin 11/Pin 9): Serial Interface Data Input. Data is applied to SDI for transfer to the device at the rising edge of SCK (Pin 10). The LTC2656 accepts input word lengths of either 24 or 32 bits. SDO (Pin 12/Pin 10): Serial Interface Data Output. This pin is used for daisy-chain operation. The serial output of the 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 continuously driven and does not go high impedance when CS/LD is taken active high. CLR (Pin 13/Pin 11): Asynchronous Clear Input. A logic low at this level-triggered input clears all registers and causes the DAC voltage outputs to drop to 0V if the PORSEL pin is tied to GND. If the PORSEL pin is tied to VCC, a logic low at CLR sets all registers to mid-scale code and causes the DAC voltage outputs to go to mid-scale. PORSEL (Pin 14/Pin 12): Power-On Reset Select Pin. If tied to GND, the DAC resets to zero-scale at power-up. If tied to VCC, the DAC resets to mid-scale at power-up. VCC (Pin 19/Pin 17): Supply Voltage Input. For -L options, 2.7V VCC 5.5V and for -H options, 4.5V VCC 5.5V. GND (Pin 20/Pin 18): Ground. Exposed Pad (Pin 21/Pin 21): Ground. Must be soldered to PCB Ground. CS/LD (Pin 9/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. 2656fa 15 LTC2656 BLOCK DIAGRAM REFCOMP REFIN/OUT INTERNAL REFERENCE REF REF GND REGISTER REGISTER REGISTER DAC B REGISTER VOUTB REGISTER REF DAC H REGISTER DAC A REGISTER VOUTA REGISTER VCC REFLO DAC G REGISTER REGISTER DAC F DAC E POWER-ON RESET CS/LD CONTROL LOGIC DECODE SCK LDAC REGISTER DAC D VOUTG VOUTF REF REGISTER VOUTD REGISTER REF REGISTER DAC C REGISTER VOUTC REF REF REGISTER REF VOUTH VOUTE PORSEL SDO SDI 32-BIT SHIFT REGISTER CLR 2656 BD 2656fa 16 LTC2656 TIMING DIAGRAMS t1 t2 SCK t3 1 t6 t4 2 3 23 24 t10 SDI t5 t7 CS/LD t8 SDO LDAC t13 t12 2656 F01a Figure 1a CS/LD t13 LDAC 2656 F01b Figure 1b 2656fa 17 LTC2656 OPERATION The LTC2656 is a family of octal voltage output DACs in 20-lead 4mm x 5mm QFN and in 20-lead thermally enhanced TSSOP packages. Each DAC can operate rail-to-rail in external reference mode, or with its full-scale voltage set by an integrated reference. Four combinations of accuracy (16-bit and 12-bit), and full-scale voltage (2.5V or 4.096V) are available. The LTC2656 is controlled using a 4-wire SPI/MICROWIRE compatible interface. supply turn-on and turn-off sequences, when the voltage at VCC is in transition. Power-On Reset where k is the decimal equivalent of the binary DAC input code, N is the resolution of the DAC, 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 LTC2656-L and 2.048V for LTC2656-H, in internal reference mode. The LTC2656-L/ LTC2656-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 LTC2656 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. Alternatively, if the PORSEL pin is tied to VCC, the LTC2656L/ LTC2656-H sets the output to mid-scale when power is first applied. Power Supply Sequencing and Start-Up For the LTC2656 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 must be hardwired to GND. Having REFCOMP hardwired to GND at power up will cause the REFIN/OUT pin to become high impedance and will allow for the use of an external reference at startup. However in this configuration, the internal reference will still be on even though it is disconnected from the REFIN/OUT pin and will draw supply current. In order to use external reference after power-up, the command Select External Reference (0111b) should be used to turn the internal reference off (see Table 1.) The voltage at REFIN/OUT should be kept within the range - 0.3V REFIN/OUT VCC + 0.3V if the external reference is to be used (see Absolute Maximum Ratings). Particular care should be taken to observe these limits during power Transfer Function The digital-to-analog transfer function is: k VOUT(IDEAL) = N * 2 * ( VREF - VREFLO ) + VREFLO 2 Table 1.

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. 2656fa 18 LTC2656 OPERATION The 4-bit command, C3-C0, is loaded first; followed by the 4-bit DAC address, A3-A0; and finally the 16-bit data word. For the LTC2656-16 the data word comprises the 16-bit input code, ordered MSB-to-LSB. For the LTC2656-12 the data word comprises the 12-bit input code, ordered MSBto-LSB, followed by four don't care bits. Data can only be transferred to the LTC2656 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- 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 must be 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 daisy-chain operation, and is also available to accommodate microprocessors that have a minimum word width of 16 bits (2 bytes). The 16-bit data word is ignored for all commands that do not include a write operation. Daisy-Chain Operation 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. The SDO pin is continuously driven and does not go high impedance when CS/LD is taken active high. 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. Power-Down Mode For power-constrained applications, power-down mode can be used to reduce the supply current whenever less than eight 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 80k resistors. Input- and DAC-register contents are not disturbed during power down. Any channel or combination of DAC channels can be put into power-down mode by using command 0100b in combination with the appropriate DAC address, (n). 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 power-down mode using power-down chip command 0101b. For all power-down commands the 16-bit data word is ignored. Normal operation resumes by executing any command which includes a DAC update, in software as shown in Table 1 or by taking 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 eight DACs are in a powered-down state prior to the update command, the power-up delay time is 12s. If, on the other hand, all eight DACs and the integrated reference 2656fa 19 20 X X SDI SDO SCK CS/LD 1 2 X 3 X X X C3 SDI C2 2 C1 3 X 5 X X DON'T CARE X 4 X X 6 COMMAND WORD 1 SCK CS/LD C0 X X 4 A0 8 D15 9 D14 10 D12 12 D11 13 D10 14 24-BIT INPUT WORD D13 11 D9 15 D7 17 DATA WORD D8 16 D6 18 D5 19 X X 8 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 D15 D15 PREVIOUS 32-BIT INPUT WORD 12 D14 D14 18 t2 t8 D9 D9 t4 23 PREVIOUS D15 t3 17 D10 D10 22 SDO t1 D11 D11 21 D15 D12 D12 20 SDI SCK D13 D13 19 D4 20 24 25 D7 D2 22 18 D7 D6 D6 26 23 D1 PREVIOUS D14 D14 D8 DATA WORD D8 D3 21 27 D5 D5 D0 24 D4 D4 28 2656 F02a D3 D3 29 D2 D2 30 D1 D1 31 2656 F02b CURRENT 32-BIT INPUT WORD D0 D0 32 OPERATION Figure 2b.

In this case, the power-up delay time is 14s. 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 that powers up the DACs will also power up the integrated reference. Asynchronous DAC Update Using LDAC In addition to the update commands shown in Table 1, the LDAC pin asynchronously updates all the DAC registers with the contents of the input registers. If CS/LD is high, a low on the LDAC pin causes all the DAC registers to be updated with the contents of the input registers. If CS/LD is low, a low going pulse on the LDAC pin before the rising edge of CS/LD powers up all the DAC outputs but does not cause the output to be updated. If LDAC remains low after the rising edge of CS/LD, then LDAC is recognized, the command specified in the 24-bit word just transferred is executed and the DAC outputs are updated. The DAC outputs are powered up when LDAC is taken low, independent of the state of CS/LD. The integrated reference is also powered up if it was powered down using power-down chip (0101b) command. The integrated reference will not power up when LDAC is taken low, if it was powered down using select external reference (0111b) command. If LDAC is low at the time CS/LD goes high, it inhibits any software power-down command (power down n, powerdown chip, select external reference) that was specified in the input word. reference. The LTC2656-L has a 1.25V reference that provides a full-scale DAC output of 2.5V. The LTC2656-H has a 2.048V reference that provides a full-scale DAC 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 0.1F capacitor be tied between REFCOMP and GND. In this configuration, the internal reference can drive up to 0.1F 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 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. Integrated Reference Buffers Each of the eight DACs in LTC2656 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 DACto-DAC dynamic crosstalk. Typically DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is less than 3nV*s. By tying 0.1F capacitors between REFCOMP and GND, and also between REFIN/OUT and GND, this number can be reduced to less than 1nV*s. See the curve DAC-to-DAC Dynamic Crosstalk in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. Voltage Outputs Reference Modes Each of the LTC2656's eight rail-to-rail output amplifiers contained in these parts has a guaranteed load regulation when sourcing or sinking up to 15mA at 5V (7.5mA at 3V). For applications where an accurate external reference is not available, the LTC2656 has a user-selectable, integrated Load regulation is a measure of the amplifier's ability to maintain the rated voltage accuracy over a wide range of 2656fa 21 LTC2656 OPERATION 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 0.04 when driving a load well away from the rails. 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. When drawing a load current from either rail, the output voltage headroom with respect to that rail is limited by the 30 typical channel resistance of the output devices; e.g., when sinking 1mA, the minimum output voltage = 30 * 1mA = 30mV. See the graph Headroom at Rails vs Output Current in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. The GND pin functions as a return path for power supply currents in the device and should be connected to analog ground. The REFLO pin should be connected to the system star ground. Resistance from the REFLO pin to the system star ground should be as low as possible. The amplifiers are stable driving capacitive loads of up to 1000pF. In any rail-to-rail voltage output device, the output is limited to voltages within the supply range. Board Layout The excellent load regulation and DC crosstalk performance of these devices is achieved in part by keeping "signal" and "power" grounds separate. 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. Rail-to-Rail Output Considerations Since the analog outputs of the device cannot go below ground, they may limit 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 are 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.
