Power Supply Sequencing
The voltage at REF (Pins 3, 6, 12 and 15) should be kept
within the range –0.3V ≤ REF x ≤ V
CC
+ 0.3V (see Abso-
lute Maximum Ratings). Particular care should be taken
to observe these limits during power supply turn-on and
turn-off sequences, when the voltage at V
CC
(Pin 16) is
in transition.
Transfer Function
The digital-to-analog transfer function is
V
OUT(IDEAL)
=
k
2
N
[REF x – REF LO]+REFLO
where k is the decimal equivalent of the binary DAC input
code, N is the resolution and REF x is the voltage at REF
A, REF B, REF C and REF D (Pins 3, 6, 12 and 15).
Serial Interface
The CS/LD input is level triggered. When this input is taken
low, it acts as a chip-select signal, powering-on the SDI
and SCK buffers and enabling the input shift register. Data
(SDI input) is transferred at the next 24 rising SCK edges.
The 4-bit command, C3-C0, is loaded fi rst; then the 4-bit
DAC address, A3-A0; and fi nally the 16-bit data word. The
data word comprises the 16-, 14- or 12-bit input code,
ordered MSB-to-LSB, followed by 0, 2 or 4 don’t-care bits
(LTC2604, LTC2614 and LTC2624 respectively). Data can
only be transferred to the device when the CS/LD signal
is low. The rising edge of CS/LD ends the data transfer
and causes the device to carry out the action specifi ed in
the 24-bit input word. The complete sequence is shown
in Figure 2a.
The command (C3-C0) and address (A3-A0) assignments
are shown in Table 1. The fi rst 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
Table 1.
