LTC2656CIUFD-L16#TRPBF

The LTC2656CIUFD-L16#TRPBF is a versatile digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with guaranteed 16-bit monotonic performance and rail-to-rail output swing. It operates from a single supply and requires no external reference. The device is SPI/MICROWIRE™/DSP compatible and can communicate with a logic voltage of 1.8 V to 5.5 V. It has an on-chip temperature sensor, which with the direct-fuse programming makes the device ideal for industrial and automotive process control applications.

The DAC operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply and supports a wide range of output voltages from 0 V to VDD or VREF. The device can also be programmed with a current output of up to 250 µA. The device features an internal 0.4 ppm/°C guaranteed accuracy digital temperature sensor and can switch between a digital and analog output.

The compact size and wide temperature range also make it suitable for other data acquisition applications such as transducer and process control, industrial filter control, thermocouple or strain-gauge signal conditioning. With the extended temperature range, they are also suitable for applications in automotive, industrial and aerospace.

In operation the device works by receiving and converting digital data into an analog output voltage. This converting process is done by a combination of voltage sources and switches working together to produce the desired output voltage. The voltage sources are determined by the device\'s internal reference voltage, which can be programmed externally. The device operates on the principle of pulse width modulation to control the average analog output.

In addition to this, the device also employs an on-chip, digitally controlled gain and offset circuitry, which helps to refine the analog output. The digitally controlled gain and offset circuitry are designed to correct any changes in the output due to temperature or reference voltage fluctuations. The on-chip logic circuitry also helps to ensure that the analog output is monotonic over the 16-bit output range.
