DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®2606/LTC2616/LTC2626 are single 16-, 14and 12-bit,
in a 10-lead DFN package. 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 and load regulation in single-supply,
voltage-output DACs.
The parts use a 2-wire, I
LTC2606/LTC2616/LTC2626 operate in both the standard
mode (clock rate of 100kHz) and the fast mode (clock rate
of 400kHz). An asynchronous DAC update pin (LDAC) is
also included.
The LTC2606/LTC2616/LTC2626 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. The
power-on reset circuit resets the LTC2606-1/LTC2616-1/
LTC2626-1 to midscale. The voltage outputs stay at
midscale until a valid write and update take place.

PIN FUNCTIONS
CA2 (Pin 1): Chip Address Bit 2. Tie this pin to VCC, GND
or leave it floating to select an I
(Table 1).
SDA (Pin 2): Serial Data Bidirectional Pin. Data is shifted
into the SDA pin and acknowledged by the SDA pin. This
pin is high impedance while data is shifted in. Open drain
N-channel output during acknowledgment. SDA requires
a pull-up resistor or current source to V
SCL (Pin 3): Serial Clock Input Pin. Data is shifted into the
SDA pin at the rising edges of the clock. This high
impedance pin requires a pull-up resistor or current source
to VCC.
CA0 (Pin 4): Chip Address Bit 0. Tie this pin to VCC, GND
or leave it floating to select an I2C slave address for the part
(Table 1).
CA1 (Pin 5): Chip Address Bit 1. Tie this pin to VCC, GND
or leave it floating to select an I2C slave address for the part
(Table 1).
LDAC (Pin 10): Asynchronous DAC Update. A falling edge
on this input after four bytes have been written into the part
immediately updates the DAC register with the contents of
the input register. A low on this input without a complete
32-bit (four bytes including the slave address) data write
transfer to the part does not update the DAC output.
Software power-down is disabled when LDAC is low.
Exposed Pad (Pin 11): Ground. Must be soldered to PCB
ground.

Power-On Reset
The LTC2606/LTC2616/LTC2626 clear the outputs to
zero scale when power is first applied, making system
initialization consistent and repeatable. The LTC2606-1/
LTC2616-1/LTC2626-1 set the voltage outputs to midscale
when power is first applied.
For some applications, downstream circuits are active
during DAC power-up, and may be sensitive to nonzero
outputs from the DAC during this time. The LTC2606/
LTC2616/LTC2626 contain circuitry to reduce the poweron glitch; furthermore, the glitch amplitude can be made
arbitrarily small by reducing the ramp rate of the power
supply. For example, if the power supply is ramped to 5V
in 1ms, the analog outputs rise less than 10mV above
ground (typ) during power-on. See Power-On Reset Glitch
in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Power Supply Sequencing
The voltage at REF (Pin 6) should be kept within the range

limits during power supply turn-on and turn-off sequences,
when the voltage at VCC (Pin 9) is in transition.
Transfer Function
The digital-to-analog transfer function is:
V
OUT IDEAL
where k is the decimal equivalent of the binary DAC input
code, N is the resolution and V
(Pin 6).
Serial Digital Interface
The LTC2606/LTC2616/LTC2626 communicate with a host
using the standard 2-wire I2C interface. The Timing Diagrams (Figures 1 and 2) show the timing relationship of
the signals on the bus. The two bus lines, SDA and SCL,
must be high when the bus is not in use. External pull-up
resistors or current sources are required on these lines.
The value of these pull-up resistors is dependent on the

power supply and can be obtained from the I2C specifications. For an I2C bus operating in the fast mode, an active
pull-up will be necessary if the bus capacitance is greater
than 200pF.
The LTC2606/LTC2616/LTC2626 are receive-only (slave)
devices. The master can write to the LTC2606/LTC2616/
LTC2626. The LTC2606/LTC2616/LTC2626 do not respond to a read from the master.
The START (S) and STOP (P) Conditions
When the bus is not in use, both SCL and SDA must be
high. A bus master signals the beginning of a communication to a slave device by transmitting a START condition.
A START condition is generated by transitioning SDA from
high to low while SCL is high.
When the master has finished communicating with the
slave, it issues a STOP condition. A STOP condition is
generated by transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL
is high. The bus is then free for communication with
another I2C device.
Acknowledge
The Acknowledge signal is used for handshaking between
the master and the slave. An Acknowledge (active LOW)
generated by the slave lets the master know that the latest
byte of information was received. The Acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the master. The master
releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the Acknowledge
clock pulse. The slave-receiver must pull down the SDA
bus line during the Acknowledge clock pulse so that it
remains a stable LOW during the HIGH period of this clock
pulse. The LTC2606/LTC2616/LTC2626 respond to a
write by a master in this manner. The LTC2606/LTC2616/
LTC2626 do not acknowledge a read (retains SDA HIGH
during the period of the Acknowledge clock pulse).
Chip Address
The state of CA0, CA1 and CA2 decides the slave address
of the part. The pins CA0, CA1 and CA2 can be each set to
any one of three states: VCC, GND or float. This results in
27 selectable addresses for the part. The slave address
assignments are shown in Table 1.

In addition to the address selected by the address pins, the
parts also respond to a global address. This address
allows a common write to all LTC2606, LTC2616 and
LTC2626 parts to be accomplished with one 3-byte write
transaction on the I2C bus. The global address is a 7-bit
on-chip hardwired address and is not selectable by CA0,
CA1 and CA2.
Write Word Protocol
The master initiates communication with the LTC2606/
LTC2616/LTC2626 with a START condition and a 7-bit slave
address followed by the Write bit (W) = 0. The LTC2606/
LTC2616/LTC2626 acknowledges by pulling the SDA pin
low at the 9th clock if the 7-bit slave address matches the
address of the parts (set by CA0, CA1 and CA2) or the global
address. The master then transmits three bytes of data. The
LTC2606/LTC2616/LTC2626 acknowledges each byte of
data by pulling the SDA line low at the 9th clock of each data
byte transmission. After receiving three complete bytes of
data, the LTC2606/LTC2616/LTC2626 executes the command specified in the 24-bit input word.
If more than three data bytes are transmitted after a valid
7-bit slave address, the LTC2606/LTC2616/LTC2626 do
not acknowledge the extra bytes of data (SDA is high
during the 9th clock).
The format of the three data bytes is shown in Figure 3. The
first byte of the input word consists of the 4-bit command
and four don’t care bits. The next two bytes consist of the
16-bit data word. The 16-bit data word consists of the
16-, 14- or 12-bit input code, MSB to LSB, followed by 0,
2 or 4 don’t care bits (LTC2606, LTC2616 and LTC2626
respectively).
A typical LTC2606 write transaction is shown
in Figure 4.
The command assignments (C3-C0) are shown in Table 2.
The first four commands in the table consist of write and
update operations. A write operation loads a 16-bit data
word from the 32-bit shift register into the input register.
In an update operation, the data word is copied from the
input register to the DAC register and converted to an analog voltage at the DAC output. The update operation also
powers up the DAC if it had been in power-down mode. The
data path and registers are shown in the Block Diagram.
Power-Down Mode
The addresses corresponding to the states of CA0, CA1
and CA2 and the global address are shown in Table 1. The
maximum capacitive load allowed on the address pins
(CA0, CA1 and CA2) is 10pF, as these pins are driven
during address detection to determine if they are floating.
14
For power-constrained applications, power-down mode
can be used to reduce the supply current whenever the DAC
output is not needed. When in power-down, the buffer
amplifier, bias circuit and reference input is disabled and
draws essentially zero current. The DAC output is put into

pulled to ground through 90k resistors. Input- and DACregister contents are not disturbed during power-down.
The DAC channel can be put into power-down mode by
using command 0100b. The 16-bit data word is ignored.
The supply and reference currents are reduced to almost
zero when the DAC is powered down; the effective
resistance at REF becomes a high impedance input
(typically > 1GΩ).
Normal operation can be resumed by executing any command which includes a DAC update, as shown in Table 2
or performing an asychronous update (LDAC) as described in the next section. The DAC is powered up as its
voltage output is updated. When the DAC in powereddown state is powered up and updated, normal settling is
delayed. The main bias generation circuit block has been

Asynchronous DAC Update Using LDAC
In addition to the update commands shown in Table 2, the
LDAC pin asynchronously updates the DAC register with
the contents of the input register. Asynchronous update is
disabled when the input word is being clocked into the part.
If a complete input word has been written to the part, a low
on the LDAC pin causes the DAC register to be updated
with the contents of the input register.
If the input word is being written to the part, a low going
pulse on the LDAC pin before the completion of three bytes
of data powers up the DAC but does not cause the output
to be updated. If LDAC remains low after a complete input
word has been written to the part, then LDAC is recognized, the command specified in the 24-bit word just
transferred is executed and the DAC output is updated.
The DAC is powered up when LDAC is taken low, independent of any activity on the I2C bus.
If LDAC is low at the falling edge of the 9th clock of the 3rd
byte of data, it inhibits any software power-down command that was specified in the input word.

Voltage Output
The rail-to-rail amplifier has guaranteed load regulation
when sourcing or sinking up to 15mA at 5V (7.5mA at 3V).
Load regulation is a measure of the amplifier’s ability to
maintain the rated voltage accuracy over a wide range of
load conditions. The measured change in output voltage
per milliampere of forced load current change is expressed in LSB/mA.
DC output impedance is equivalent to load regulation, and
may be derived from it by simply calculating a change in
units from LSB/mA to Ohms. The amplifiers’ DC output
impedance is 0.050Ω when driving a load well away from
the rails.
When drawing a load current from either rail, the output
voltage headroom with respect to that rail is limited by the
25Ω typical channel resistance of the output devices;
e.g., when sinking 1mA, the minimum output voltage =
25Ω • 1mA = 25mV. See the graph Headroom at Rails vs
Output Current in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
The amplifier is stable driving capacitive loads of up to
1000pF.
Board Layout
The excellent load regulation performance is achieved in
part by keeping “signal” and “power” grounds separated
internally and by reducing shared internal resistance.
The GND pin functions both as the node to which the
reference and output voltages are referred and as a return
path for power currents in the device. Because of this,
careful thought should be given to the grounding scheme
and board layout in order to ensure rated performance.
The PC board should have separate areas for the analog and
digital sections of the circuit. This keeps digital signals away
from sensitive analog signals and facilitates the use of
separate digital and analog ground planes which have
minimal capacitive and resistive interaction with each other.
Digital and analog ground planes should be joined at only
one point, establishing a system star ground as close to
the device’s ground pin as possible. Ideally, the analog
ground plane should be located on the component side of
the board, and should be allowed to run under the part to
shield it from noise. Analog ground should be a continuous and uninterrupted plane, except for necessary lead
pads and vias, with signal traces on another layer.
The GND pin of the part should be connected to analog
ground. Resistance from the GND pin to system star ground
should be as low as possible. Resistance here will add
directly to the effective DC output impedance of the device
(typically 0.050Ω). Note that the LTC2606/LTC2616/
LTC2626 are no more susceptible to these effects than other
parts of their type; on the contrary, they allow layout-based
performance improvements to shine rather than limiting
attainable performance with excessive internal resistance.
Rail-to-Rail Output Considerations
In any rail-to-rail voltage output device, the output is
limited to voltages within the supply range.
Since the analog output of the device cannot go below
ground, it may limit for the lowest codes as shown in
Figure 5b. Similarly, limiting can occur near full scale
when the REF pin is tied to VCC. If V
full-scale error (FSE) is positive, the output for the highest
codes limits at VCC as shown in Figure 5c. No full-scale
limiting can occur if V
Offset and linearity are defined and tested over the region
of the DAC transfer function where no output limiting can
occur.
