DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®2607/LTC2617/LTC2627 are dual 16-, 14- and
12-bit,
12-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
LTC2607/LTC2617/LTC2627 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 LTC2607/LTC2617/LTC2627 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 LTC2607-1/LTC2617-1/
LTC2627-1 to midscale. The voltage outputs stay at
midscale until a valid write and update takes place.

Power-On Reset
The LTC2607/LTC2617/LTC2627 clear the outputs to
zero scale when power is first applied, making system
initialization consistent and repeatable. The LTC2607-1/
LTC2617-1/LTC2627-1 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 LTC2607/
LTC2617/LTC2627 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 9) should be kept within the range
–0.3V ≤ V
Ratings). Particular care should be taken to observe these
limits during power supply turn-on and turn-off sequences,
when the voltage at VCC (Pin 8) is in transition.
≤ VCC + 0.3V (see Absolute Maximum
REF
The value of these pull-up resistors is dependent on the
power supply and can be obtained from the I
tions. For an I
pull-up will be necessary if the bus capacitance is greater
than 200pF.
The LTC2607/LTC2617/LTC2627 are receive-only (slave)
devices. The master can write to the LTC2607/LTC2617/
LTC2627. The LTC2607/LTC2617/LTC2627 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 I

Serial Digital Interface
The LTC2607/LTC2617/LTC2627 communicate with a host
using the standard 2-wire I
grams (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 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 LTC2607/LTC2617/LTC2627 respond to a
write by a master in this manner. The LTC2607/LTC2617/
LTC2627 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 LTC2607, LTC2617 and
LTC2627 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.
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.
Write Word Protocol
The master initiates communication with the LTC2607/
LTC2617/LTC2627 with a START condition and a 7-bit slave
address followed by the Write bit (W) = 0. The LTC2607/
LTC2617/LTC2627 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
LTC2607/LTC2617/LTC2627 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 LTC2607/LTC2617/LTC2627 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 LTC2607/LTC2617/LTC2627 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
word C3-C0, and 4-bit DAC address A3-A0. 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 (LTC2607, LTC2617
and LTC2627 respectively). A typical LTC2607 write transaction is shown in Figure 4.
The command (C3-C0) and address (A3-A0) assignments
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 of the selected DAC, n. An update
operation copies the data word from the input register to
the DAC register. Once copied into the DAC register, the
data word becomes the active 16-, 14- or 12-bit input
code, and is converted to an analog voltage at the DAC
output. The update operation also powers up the selected
DAC if it had been in power-down mode. The data path and
registers are shown in the Block Diagram.

Power-Down Mode
For power-constrained applications, the power-down mode
can be used to reduce the supply current whenever one or
both of the DAC outputs are not needed. When in powerdown, the buffer amplifiers, bias circuits and reference input
are disabled and draw essentially zero current. The DAC outputs are put into a high impedance state, and the output pins
are passively pulled to V
through 90k resistors.

ignored. The supply and reference currents are reduced
by approximately 50% for each DAC powered down; the
effective resistance at REF (Pin 9) rises accordingly,
becoming a high-impedance input (typically > 1GΩ)
when both DACs are powered down.
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 selected DAC is powered
up as its voltage output is updated. When a DAC in
powered-down state is powered up and updated, normal
settling is delayed. If one of the two DACs is in a powereddown state prior to the update command, the power up
delay is 5µs. If on the other hand, both DACs are powered
down, the main bias generation circuit has been automatically shut down in addition to the DAC amplifiers and
reference input and so the power up delay time is
12µs (for VCC = 5V) or 30µs (for V
CC
= 3V)
Asynchronous DAC Update Using LDAC
In addition to the update commands shown in Table 2, the
LDAC pin asynchronously updates the DAC registers with
the contents of the input registers. Asynchronous update
is disabled when the input word is being clocked into
the part.

OPERATIO
If a complete input word has been written to the part, a low
on the LDAC pin causes the DAC registers to be updated
with the contents of the input registers.
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 DACs but does not cause the outputs
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 outputs updated.
The DACs are powered up when LDAC is taken low,
independent of any activity on the I
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. LDAC is
disabled when tied high.
Voltage Output
Both of the two rail-to-rail amplifiers have guaranteed load
regulation when sourcing or sinking up to 15mA at 5V
(7.5mA at 3V).
Load regulation is a measure of the amplifiers’ 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 0.035Ω 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 30Ω typical channel resistance of the output
devices; e.g., when sinking 1mA, the minimum output
voltage = 30Ω • 1mA = 30mV. See the graph Headroom
at Rails vs Output Current in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section.
The amplifiers are stable driving capacitive loads of up to
1000pF.

C bus.
Board Layout
The excellent load regulation performance is achieved in
part by separating the signal and power grounds as REFLO
and GND pins, respectively.
The PC Board should have separate areas for the analog
and digital sections of the circuit. This keeps the digital
signals away from the sensitive analog signals and facilitates the use of separate digital and analog ground planes
that have minimal interaction with each other.
Digital and analog ground planes should be joined at only
one point, establishing a system star ground. 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 functions as a return path for power supply
currents in the device and should be connected to analog
ground. Resistance from the GND pin to the analog power
supply return should be as low as possible. Resistance
here will add directly to the channel resistance of the
output device when sinking load current. When a zero
scale DAC output voltage of zero is required, the REFLO pin
should be connected to system star ground. Any shared
trace resistance between REFLO and GND pins is undesirable since it adds to the effective DC output impedance
(typically 0.035Ω) of the part.
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
