The LTC
®
1655 is a rail-to-rail voltage output, 16-bit digi-
tal-to-analog converter (DAC) in an SO-8 package. It
includes an output buffer and a reference. The 3-wire serial
interface is compatible with SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE
TM
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 LTC1655 is pin compatible with Linear Technology’s
12-bit V
OUT
DAC family, allowing an easy upgrade path.
It is the only buffered 16-bit DAC in an SO-8 package and
it includes an onboard reference for stand alone
performance.

LTC1655
PIN FUNCTIONS
CLK (Pin 1):
The TTL Level Input for the Serial Interface
Clock.
D
IN
(Pin 2):
The TTL Level Input for the Serial Interface
Data. Data on the D
IN
pin is latched into the shift register
on the rising edge of the serial clock and is loaded MSB
first. The LTC1655 requires a 16-bit word.
CS/LD (Pin 3):
The TTL Level Input for the Serial Inter-
face 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.
D
OUT
(Pin 4):
Output of the Shift Register. Becomes valid
on the rising edge of the serial clock and swings from GND
to V
CC
.
GND (Pin 5):
Ground.
REF (Pin 6):
Reference. Output of the internal reference is
2.048V. There is a gain of two from this pin to the output.
The reference can be overdriven from 2.2V to V
CC
/2. When
tied to V
CC
/2, the output will swing from GND to V
CC
. The
output can only swing to within its offset specification of
V
CC
(see Applications Information).
V
OUT
(Pin 7):
Deglitched Rail-to-Rail Voltage Output. V
OUT
clears to 0V on power-up.
V
CC
(Pin 8):
Positive Supply Input. 4.5V
≤
V
CC
≤
5.5V.
Requires a bypass capacitor to ground.
