Description
The LTC
®
1664 integrates four accurate, serially addressable
10-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) in a tiny 16-pin
narrow SSOP package. Each buffered DAC draws just 59µA
total supply current, yet is capable of supplying DC output
currents in excess of 5mA and reliably driving capacitive
loads of up to 1000pF. Sleep mode further reduces total
supply current to 1µA.
Linear Technology’s proprietary, inherently monotonic
voltage interpolation architecture provides excellent lin-
earity while allowing for an exceptionally small external
form factor.
Ultralow supply current, power-saving sleep mode and
extremely compact size make the LTC1664 ideal for
battery-powered applications, while its ease of use, high
performance and wide supply range make it an excellent
choice as a general-purpose converter.

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:
Nonlinearity and monotonicity are defined and tested at
V
CC
= 5V, V
REF
= 4.096V, from code 20 to code 1023. See the Rail-to-Rail
Output Considerations section.
Note 3:
Digital inputs at 0V or V
CC
.
Note 4:
Load is 10kΩ in parallel with 100pF
.
Note 5:
V
CC
= V
REF
= 5V.
Note 6:
Guaranteed by design and not subject to test.
Note 7:
Measured at code 20.
Note 8:
If a continuous clock is used,
CS/LD
timing (t
7
and t
9
) will limit
the maximum clock frequency to 5MHz at 4.5V to 5.5V (3.85MHz at 2.7V
to 5.5V).
Note 9:
Any output shorted.
