LTC1821
versatility of the interface also allows the use of the input
and DAC registers in a master slave or edge-
triggered
configuration. This mode of operation occurs when WR
and LD are tied together. The asynchronous clear pin
resets the LTC1821 to zero scale and the LTC1821-1
to
midscale. CLR resets both the input and DAC registers.
These devices also have a power-on reset. Table 1 shows
the truth table for the LTC1821.

)
The LTC1821 can be used to provide 2-quadrant multiply-
ing operation as shown in Figure 1. With a fixed –10V
reference, the circuit shown gives a precision unipolar 0V
to 10V output swing.
