DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
1448 is a dual rail-to-rail voltage output, 12-bit
digital-to-analog converter (DAC). It includes rail-to-rail
output buffer amplifiers and an easy-to-use 3-wire serial
interface. It is available in 8-pin SO and PDIP packages and
provides the smallest footprint of any dual 12-bit DAC.
The LTC1448 has an external reference input pin (REF)
and its outputs swing from 0V to REF. The REF input can
be tied to V
CC
providing rail-to-rail operation from supplies
of 2.7V to 5.5V. (For devices with internal reference see the
LTC1446 data sheet.) The LTC1448 dissipates 2.5mW
from a 5V supply.
The low power supply current and the small SO-8 package
make the LTC1448 ideal for battery-powered applications.

PIN FUNCTIONS
CLK (Pin 1):
Serial Interface Clock. Internal Schmitt trig-
ger on this input allows direct optocoupler interface.
D
IN
(Pin 2):
Serial Interface Data. Data on the D
IN
pin is
latched into the shift register on the rising edge of the serial
clock.
CS/LD (Pin 3):
Serial Interface 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 and the CLK is disabled
internally.
REF (Pin 4):
Reference Input for Both DACs. This pin can
be tied to V
CC
. The output will swing from 0V to REF. The
typical input resistance is 12.5k.
