Product details
Overview
LTC1664IGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a micropower quad 10-bit voltage-output DAC in 16-pin narrow SSOP package, operating from 2.7V to 5.5V supply. Each DAC draws only 59µA, supports rail-to-rail output swing, drives ≥1000pF capacitive loads, and features ±0.75LSB max DNL - ideal for battery-powered trim and calibration circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1664IGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1664IGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC1664IGN#TRPBF application, or LTC1664IGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection factors include guaranteed monotonicity over temperature, sleep mode current of 1µA, reference input impedance independence from code, individual DAC addressability, and compatibility with 3-wire daisy-chained serial interfaces.
Technical Context
The LTC1664IGN#TRPBF implements Linear Technology's proprietary voltage interpolation architecture, ensuring inherent monotonicity without trimming while enabling compact layout. Its four buffered DACs share a single serial interface with 16-bit word structure: 4-bit address (A3–A0), 10-bit data (D9–D0), and 2 don't-care bits.
It supports multiple operational modes including individual DAC loading, simultaneous update of all DACs (address 1111b), and low-power sleep (address 1110b). The analog outputs remain high-impedance during sleep, retaining DAC register values for immediate wake-up restoration.

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic narrow SSOP (GN package), 0.150" body width, JEDEC MS-013AC compliant. Pin pitch: 0.025", footprint compatible with standard SSOP reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | System ground reference | Common return path for analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| VOUT A–D (Pins 2–5) | Analog voltage outputs | Four independent rail-to-rail buffered outputs; each capable of sourcing/sinking ≥5mA with <1LSB settling error. |
| REF (Pin 6) | Reference voltage input | 0V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC; high-impedance, code-independent input (70–130kΩ) - eliminates need for external buffer amplifier. |
| CS/LD (Pin 7) | Chip select / load strobe | Active-low signal enabling SCK and latching shift register contents into selected DAC register(s); TTL/CMOS compatible. |
| SCK (Pin 8) | Serial clock input | Positive-edge-triggered clock for shifting 16-bit words; timing validated up to 10MHz across full temperature range. |
| DIN (Pin 9) | Serial data input | MSB-first 16-bit word: A3–A0 (DAC address), D9–D0 (10-bit code), X1–X0 (don't-care bits). |
| DOUT (Pin 10) | Serial data output | Shift-register echo delayed by 16 SCK edges; enables daisy-chaining multiple LTC1664IGN#TRPBF devices on one 3-wire bus. |
| CLR (Pin 11) | Asynchronous clear | Falling-edge triggered reset forcing all DAC outputs to zero-scale; retains register state after power-on reset. |
| NC (Pins 12–15) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per PCB layout best practices - no routing or vias. |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Positive supply | 2.7V to 5.5V operation; supplies both analog and digital circuitry; decoupling capacitor required near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inherently monotonic architecture | Guaranteed monotonicity over –40°C to +85°C without calibration - reduces firmware compensation overhead in field-deployed systems. |
| Code-independent reference input impedance | 70–130kΩ across all DAC codes - eliminates gain error drift in ratiometric applications using resistive dividers or sensor bridges. |
| Individual DAC addressability | Four unique 4-bit addresses (0001b–0100b) allow selective updating of single channels - critical for dynamic trim in multi-sensor modules. |
| 1µA sleep mode | Entire analog section disabled while retaining DAC register contents - enables microcontroller-initiated wake-up without reinitialization delay. |
| Daisy-chain serial interface | Single 3-wire bus (SCK/DIN/CS) controls up to m devices via DOUT→DIN cascading - cuts BOM count and routing complexity in multi-channel systems. |
| Rail-to-rail output with 85Ω drive strength | Output swings within millivolts of rails under load; 85Ω effective output resistance enables direct driving of 1000pF capacitive loads without stability issues. |

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LTC1664IGN#TRPBF can drive while maintaining stability?
The LTC1664IGN#TRPBF is specified to drive up to 1000pF capacitive loads without external compensation. Its output amplifiers are internally compensated for this load condition, and typical performance curves confirm stable step response with <0.5LSB settling error. For loads exceeding 1000pF, a small series resistor (e.g., 10–20Ω) restores stability - verified in Figure G06 and G07 of the datasheet.
Does the LTC1664IGN#TRPBF require an external reference voltage, or can it operate ratiometrically?
The LTC1664IGN#TRPBF supports both configurations: it accepts an external reference (0V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC) or operates ratiometrically with VREF tied directly to VCC. Its reference input impedance is code-independent (70–130kΩ), eliminating gain drift in ratiometric setups. This flexibility allows direct integration with microcontroller ADC references or precision external sources like LT1460.
How does the sleep mode of the LTC1664IGN#TRPBF function, and what happens to DAC register contents during sleep?
Sleep mode is activated by sending the 4-bit address 1110b to the LTC1664IGN#TRPBF. In this state, analog circuitry powers down to 1µA total supply current, REF and VOUT pins enter high-impedance, but all four DAC register values are retained. Any subsequent valid address (including 0000b "No Change") wakes the device and restores outputs to their pre-sleep values - no reprogramming required.
Can multiple LTC1664IGN#TRPBF devices be connected on a single serial bus, and how is addressing managed?
Yes - the LTC1664IGN#TRPBF supports daisy-chaining via its DOUT pin, which echoes the shift register contents 16 clocks after DIN input. Connecting DOUT of one device to DIN of the next creates a cascaded 16×n-bit shift register. CS/LD and SCK are shared; each device responds only to its assigned 4-bit address (0001b–0100b), enabling independent or simultaneous updates across the chain.
What is the guaranteed monotonicity specification for the LTC1664IGN#TRPBF across its full operating temperature range?
The LTC1664IGN#TRPBF guarantees monotonicity over its full –40°C to +85°C operating range, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (monotonicity = 10 bits, l symbol). This is achieved through Linear Technology's voltage interpolation architecture - no trimming or calibration is required to ensure monotonic behavior, even at temperature extremes.
