The LTC
®
1458/LTC1458L are complete single supply,
quad rail-to-rail voltage output, 12-bit digital-to-analog
converters (DACs) in SO-28 and SSOP-28 packages. They
include an output buffer amplifier with variable gain (×1 or
×
2) and an easy-to-use 3-wire cascadable serial interface.
The LTC1458 has an onboard reference of 2.048V and a
full-scale output of 4.095V in a
×
2 gain configuration. It
operates from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply dissipating
only 5.5mW (I
CC
= 1.1mA typ).
The LTC1458L has an onboard 1.22V reference and a full-
scale output of 2.5V in a
×2
gain configuration. It operates
from a single supply of 2.7V to 5.5V dissipating 2.4mW.
Excellent DNL, low supply current and a wide range of
built-in functions allow these parts to be used in a host of
applications when flexibility, power and single supply
operation are important.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Nonlinearity is defined from the first code that is greater than or
equal to the maximum offset specification to code 4095 (full scale).
Note 3:
Load is 5kΩ in parallel with 100pF.
Note 4:
DAC switched between all 1s and the code corresponding to V
OS
for the part.
Note 5:
Digital inputs at 0V or V
