LTC1662
Ultralow Power, Dual
10-Bit DAC in MSOP

Description
The LTC
®
1662 is an ultralow power, fully buffered voltage
output, dual 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Each
DAC channel draws just 1.7µA (typ) total supply-plus-
reference operating current, yet is capable of supplying
DC output currents in excess of 1mA and reliably driving
capacitive loads of up to 1000pF A programmable sleep
.
mode further reduces total operating current to 0.05µA.
Linear Technology’s proprietary, inherently monotonic
architecture provides excellent linearity and an exception-
ally small external form factor. The double-buffered input
logic provides simultaneous update capability and can be
used to write to the DACs without interrupting sleep mode.
With its tiny operating current and exceptionally small
size, the LTC1662 is ideal for use in the most power-
constrained products. For most designs, there is no
perceptible impact on the power budget; the LTC1662
draws many times less current than even a trimpot,
while providing buffered, low impedance (0.5Ω typical,
V
CC
= 5V) rail-to-rail outputs.
The LTC1662 is pin and software compatible with the
LTC1661 dual, 60µA 10-bit DAC. It is available in 8-pin
MSOP and PDIP packages and is specified over the in-
dustrial temperature range.
