DESCRIPTION
Quad Current Output
12-/14-/16-Bit SoftSpan
DACs with Parallel I/O
The LTC2755 is a family of quad 12-, 14-, and 16-bit
multiplying parallel-input, current-output DACs. These
DACs operate from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and are all
guaranteedmonotonicovertemperature.TheLTC2755A-16
provides 16-bit performance (±1LSB INL and DNL) over
temperature without any adjustments. These SoftSpan
DACs offer six output ranges—two unipolar and four
bipolar—that can be programmed through the parallel
interface, or pinstrapped for operation in a single range.
The LTC2755 DACs use a bidirectional input/output paral-
lel interface that allows readback of any internal register,
including the DAC output span settings. A power-on reset
circuit resets the DAC outputs to 0V when power is initially
applied. A logic low on the CLR pin asynchronously clears
the DACs to 0V in any output range.
The parts are specied over commercial and industrial
temperature ranges.
