DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®2609/LTC2619/LTC2629 are quad 16-, 14- and
12-bit, 2.7V-to-5.5V rail-to-rail voltage output DACs in a
16-lead SSOP 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, I2C compatible serial interface. The
LTC2609/LTC2619/LTC2629 operate in both the standard
mode (clock rate of 100kHz) and the fast mode (clock rate
of 400kHz).
The LTC2609/LTC2619/LTC2629 incorporate a power-on
reset circuit. During power-up, the voltage outputs rise
less than 10mV above zero scale; after power-up, they stay
at zero scale until a valid write and update take place. The
power-on reset circuit resets the LTC2609-1/LTC2619-1/
LTC2629-1 to midscale. The voltage outputs stay at
midscale until a valid write and update take place.

PIN FUNCTIONS
GND (Pin 1): Analog Ground.
REFLO (Pin 2): Reference Low. The voltage at this pin sets
the zero scale (ZS) voltage of all DACs. This pin can be
raised up to 1V above ground at VCC = 5V or 100mV above
ground at VCC = 3V.
REFA to REFD (Pins 3, 6, 12, 15): Reference Voltage
Inputs for each DAC. REFx sets the full-scale voltage of the
DACs. REFLO ≤ REFx ≤ VCC.
V
to V
OUTA
Outputs. The output range is from REFLO to REFx.
CA2 (Pin 7): Chip Address Bit 2. Tie this pin to VCC, GND
or leave it floating to select an I2C slave address for the part
(Table 1).
SCL (Pin 8): 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.
(Pins 4, 5, 13, 14): DAC Analog Voltage
OUTD
SDA (Pin 9): Serial Data Bidirectional Pin. Data is shifted
into the SDA pin and acknowledged by the SDA pin. This
pin is high impedance pin while data is shifted in and is an
open-drain N-channel output during acknowledgment.
SDA requires a pull-up resistor or current source to VCC.
CA1 (Pin 10): Chip Address Bit 1. Tie this pin to V
or leave it floating to select an I
(Table 1).
CA0 (Pin 11): Chip Address Bit 0. Tie this pin to V
or leave it floating to select an I
(Table 1).
The LTC2609/LTC2619/LTC2629 clear the outputs to
zero scale when power is first applied, making system
initialization consistent and repeatable. The LTC2609-1/
LTC2619-1/LTC2629-1 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 LTC2609/
LTC2619/LTC2629 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 REFx (Pins 3, 6, 12 and 15) should be kept
within the range – 0.3V ≤ REFx ≤ VCC + 0.3V (see Absolute
Maximum 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 16) is in
transition. The REFx pins can be clamped to stay below the
maximum voltage by using Schottky diodes as shown in
Figure 2, thereby easing sequencing constraints.
where k is the decimal equivalent of the binary DAC input
code, N is the resolution and REFx is the voltage at REFA,
REFB, REFC and REFD (Pins 3, 6, 12 and 15).
Serial Digital Interface
The LTC2609/LTC2619/LTC2629 communicate with a host
2
using the standard 2-wire I
C interface. The Timing Diagram (Figure 1) shows 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
2
I
C bus operating in the fast mode, an active pull-up will
be necessary if the bus capacitance is greater than 200pF.
The LTC2609/LTC2619/LTC2629 are receive-only (slave)
devices. The master can write to the LTC2609/LTC2619/
LTC2629. The LTC2609/LTC2619/LTC2629 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 LTC2609/LTC2619/LTC2629 respond to a
write by a master in this manner. The LTC2609/LTC2619/
LTC2629 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 LTC2609, LTC2619 and
LTC2629 parts to be accomplished with one 3-byte write
transaction on the I
2
C 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 LTC2609/
LTC2619/LTC2629 with a START condition and a 7-bit slave
address followed by the Write bit (W) = 0. The LTC2609/
LTC2619/LTC2629 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
LTC2609/LTC2619/LTC2629 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 LTC2609/LTC2619/LTC2629 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 LTC2609/LTC2619/LTC2629 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 4-bit DAC address. 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 (LTC2609, LTC2619 and LTC2629
respectively).
A typical LTC2609 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

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

Power-Down Mode
For power-constrained applications, power-down mode
can be used to reduce the supply current whenever less
than four outputs are needed. When in power-down, the
buffer amplifiers, bias circuits and reference inputs 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 REFLO through
individual 90k resistors. Input- and DAC-register contents
are not disturbed during power down.
Any channel or combination of channels can be put into
power-down mode by using command 0100b in
combination with the appropriate DAC address, (n). The
16-bit data word is ignored. The supply current is reduced
by approximately 1/4 for each DAC powered down.
The effective resistance at REFx (Pins 3, 6, 12 and 15)
are at high impedance (typically > 1GΩ) when the corresponding DACs are powered down. Normal operation can
be resumed by executing any command which includes a
DAC update, as shown in Table 2.
The selected DAC is powered up as its voltage output is
updated. When a DAC which is in a powered-down state
is powered up and updated, normal settling is delayed. If
less than four DACs are in a powered-down state prior to
the update command, the power-up delay time is 5µs.
If on the other hand, all four DACs are powered down,

OPERATIO
then the main bias generation circuit block has been
automatically shut down in addition to the individual DAC
amplifiers and reference inputs. In this case, the power-up
delay time is 12µs (for VCC = 5V) or 30µs (for VCC = 3V).
Voltage Output
The rail-to-rail amplifier has guaranteed load regulation
when sourcing or sinking up to 15mA at 5V (7.5mA at
2.7V).
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 amplifier’s 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 amplifier is stable driving capacitive loads of up to
1000pF.
Board Layout
The excellent load regulation and DC crosstalk performance of these devices is achieved in part by keeping
“signal” and “power” grounds separate.
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 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 system star
ground should be as low as possible. When a zero scale
DAC output voltage of zero is desired, REFLO (Pin 2)
should be connected to system star ground.
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 4b. Similarly, limiting can occur near full scale
when the REF pins are tied to VCC. If REFx = VCC and the
DAC full-scale error (FSE) is positive, the output for the
highest codes limits at VCC as shown in Figure 4c. No fullscale limiting can occur if REFx is less than VCC – FSE.
Offset and linearity are defined and tested over the region
of the DAC transfer function where no output limiting
can occur.
