Product details
Overview
LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, rail-to-rail voltage-output DAC with integrated 4.096V ±10ppm/°C reference, I²C interface (up to 400kHz), and power-on reset to mid-scale. It operates from 4.5V to 5.5V, delivers ±1LSB integral nonlinearity, and features guaranteed monotonicity over –40°C to 125°C. Used in precision analog control loops for industrial sensor calibration and optical module biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF application, or LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include internal 4.096V reference accuracy, H-grade automotive temperature range, mid-scale power-on reset behavior, TSOT-23-8 package footprint, and I²C address configuration via CA0/REF_SEL pins.
Technical Context
The LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF implements a resistor-divider-based DAC architecture with double-buffered input registers and an integrated bandgap reference. Its REF_SEL pin configures default reference mode at power-up-tied to VCC for internal 4.096V reference or GND for external reference operation.
It supports standard- and fast-mode I²C communication (100kHz/400kHz), uses CA0 for slave address selection (three options), and incorporates a power-on reset circuit that forces output to mid-scale (2048/4095) when configured as HM12. Output settling time is 4.6µs to ±1LSB under 5V supply conditions with 2kΩ//100pF load.

FAQ
What is the full-scale output voltage of the LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF?
The LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF has a nominal full-scale output voltage of 4.096V when operating in internal reference mode. This value is derived from its integrated precision bandgap reference and is specified with ±0.4% full-scale error over temperature. The device also supports external reference operation, where the full-scale output equals the applied voltage at the REF pin, up to VCC.
Does the LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF support I²C fast-mode operation?
Yes, the LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF supports I²C fast-mode operation at up to 400kHz clock frequency. Its timing specifications-including tHD(DAT), tSU(DAT), and tr/tf-are fully characterized for this speed under load conditions up to 400pF per bus line. Standard-mode (100kHz) is also supported, ensuring interoperability with legacy controllers.
What is the power-on reset behavior of the LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF?
The LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF resets to mid-scale (code 2048) upon power-up, as indicated by the "M" suffix in its part number. This behavior is controlled by the REF_SEL pin: when tied to VCC, the device boots with internal reference enabled and output initialized to VFS/2 = 2.048V. No software command is required to achieve this state.
Can the LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF drive capacitive loads directly?
Yes, the LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF can drive capacitive loads up to 500pF while maintaining specified settling time (4.6µs to ±1LSB) and monotonicity. For larger loads (e.g., >1nF), an external buffer amplifier is recommended. The REF pin supports up to 10µF bypass capacitance, with 0.33µF strongly recommended for optimal noise performance.
What temperature range is guaranteed for the LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF?
The LTC2631CTS8-HM12#TRMPBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C (H-grade), with all key specifications-including INL, DNL, reference tempco, and supply current-guaranteed across this full range. This makes it suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and outdoor infrastructure applications where ambient temperatures exceed commercial or industrial limits.
