The LTC2600/LTC2610/LTC2620 are octal 16-, 14- and 12-bit, 2.5V-to-5.5V rail-to-rail voltage-output DACs in 16-lead narrow SSOP and 20-lead 4mm × 5mm QFN packages. They have built-in high performance output buffers and are guaranteed monotonic.These parts establish new board-density benchmarks for 16- and 14-bit DACs and advance performance standards for output drive, crosstalk and load regulation in single-supply, voltage-output multiples.The parts use a simple SPI/MICROWIRE compatible 3-wire serial interface which can be operated at clock rates up to 50MHz. Daisy-chain capability and a hardware CLR function are included.The LTC2600/LTC2610/LTC2620 incorporate a power-on reset circuit. During power-up, the voltage outputs rise less than 10mV above zero-scale; and after power-up, they stay at zero-scale until a valid write and update take place.ApplicationsMobile CommunicationsProcess Control and Industrial AutomationInstrumentationAutomatic Test Equipment
