The LTC®1657/LTC1657L are complete single supply, railto-rail voltage output, 16-bit digital-to-analog converters
(DAC) in a 28-pin SSOP or PDIP package. They include a
rail-to-rail output buffer amplifier, an internal reference
and a double buffered parallel digital interface.
The LTC1657/LTC1657L have separate reference input
pins that can be driven by an external reference. The fullscale output can be 1 or 2 times the reference voltage
depending on how the X1/X2 pin is connected. The LTC1657
operates from a 4.5V to 5.5V supply and has an onboard
2.048V reference. The LTC1657L operates from a 2.7V to
5.5V supply and has an onboard 1.25V reference.
The LTC1657/LTC1657L are similar to Linear Technol-
ogy Corporation’s LTC1450/LTC1450L 12-bit V
OUT
DAC
family, allowing an upgrade path. They are the only
buffered 16-bit parallel DACs in a 28-lead SSOP package
and include an onboard reference for stand alone
performance.

Resolution (n): Resolution is defined as the number of
digital input bits (n). It defines the number of DAC output
states (2n) that divide the full-scale range. Resolution does
not imply linearity.
Full-Scale Voltage (VFS): This is the output of the DAC
when all bits are set to 1.
Voltage Offset Error (VOS): Normally, the DAC offset is the
voltage at the output when the DAC is loaded with all zeros.
The DAC can have a true negative offset, but because the
part is operated from a single supply, the output cannot go
below zero. If the offset is negative, the output will remain
near 0V resulting in the transfer curve shown in Figure 1.

Least Significant Bit (LSB): One LSB is the ideal voltage
difference between two successive codes.

Zero-Scale Error (ZSE): The output voltage when the
DAC is loaded with all zeros. Since this is a single supply
part, this value cannot be less than 0V.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL): End-point INL is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the
end points of the DAC transfer curve. Because the part
operates from a single supply and the output cannot go
below zero, the linearity is measured between full scale
and the code corresponding to the maximum offset
specification. The INL error at a given input code is
calculated as follows:
INL (In LSBs) = [V

OPERATIO
Parallel Interface
The data on the input of the DAC is written into the DAC’s
input registers when Chip Select (CSLSB and/or CSMSB)
and WR are at a logic low. The data that is written into the
input registers will depend on which of the Chip Selects
are at a logic low (see Digital Interface Truth Table). If WR
and CSLSB are both low and CSMSB is high, then only
data on the eight LSBs (D0 to D7) is written into the input
registers. Similarly, if WR and CSMSB are both low and
CSLSB is high, then only data on the eight MSBs (D8 to
D15) is written into the input registers. Data is written into
both the Least Significant Data Bits (D0 to D7) and the Most
Significant Bits (D8 to D15) at the same time if WR, CSLSB
and CSMSB are low. If WR is high or both CSMSB and
CSLSB are high, then no data is written into the input
registers.
Once data is written into the input registers, it can be
written into the DAC register. This will update the analog
voltage output of the DAC. The DAC register is written by
a logic low on LDAC. The data in the DAC register will be
held when LDAC is high.
When WR, CSLSB, CSMSB and LDAC are all low, the
registers are transparent and data on pins D0 to D15 flows
directly into the DAC register.
For an 8-bit data bus connection, tie the MSB byte data
pins to their corresponding LSB byte pins (D15 to D7, D14
to D6, etc).
Power-On Reset
resistor ladder, an external reference can be used or the
resistor ladder can be driven by an external source in
multiplying applications. The external reference or source
must be capable of driving the 16k (minimum) DAC ladder
resistance.
Internal reference output noise can be reduced with a
bypass capacitor to ground. (Note: The reference does not
require a bypass capacitor to ground for nominal operation.) When bypassing the reference, a small value resistor in series with the capacitor is recommended to help
reduce peaking on the output. A 10Ω resistor in series
with a 4.7µF capacitor is optimum for reducing reference
generated noise. Internal reference output voltage noise
spectral density at 1kHz is typically 150nV/√Hz (LTC1657),
90nV/√Hz (LTC1657L)
DAC Resistor Ladder
The high and low end of the DAC ladder resistor string
(REFHI and REFLO, respectively) are not connected internally on this part. Typically, REFHI will be connected to
REFOUT and REFLO will be connected to GND. X1/X2
connected to GND will give the
scale output swing of 4.096V/2.5V.
Either of these pins can be driven up to VCC – 1.5V when
using the buffer in the gain-of-1 configuration. The resistor
string pins can be driven to VCC/2 when the buffer is in the
gain of 2 configuration. The resistance between these two
pins is typically 25k (16k min) (LTC1657), 23k (16k min)
(LTC1657L).

is equipped with a deglitcher that results in a midscale
glitch impulse of 8nV • s. The output swings to within a few
millivolts of either supply rail when unloaded and has an
equivalent output resistance of 40Ω (LTC1657), 120Ω

Rail-to-Rail Output Considerations
In any rail-to-rail DAC, the output swing is limited to
voltages within the supply range.
If the DAC offset is negative, the output for the lowest
codes limits at 0V as shown in Figure 1b.
V
CC
Similarly, limiting can occur near full scale when the REF
pin is tied to VCC/2. If V
= VCC/2 and the DAC full-scale
REF
error (FSE) is positive, the output for the highest codes
limits at VCC as shown in Figure 1c. No full-scale limiting
can occur if V
is less than (VCC – FSE)/2.

Offset and linearity are defined and tested over the region
of the DAC transfer function where no output limiting can
occur.
