Product details
Overview
LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a quad 12-bit rail-to-rail voltage-output DAC with integrated 4.096V ±10ppm/°C reference, operating from 4.5V to 5.5V supply. It features SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 50MHz serial interface, double-buffered latches, asynchronous LDAC and CLR, and guaranteed monotonicity across –40°C to 85°C. Used in precision industrial control loops requiring stable multi-channel analog output.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF pinout, LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF application, or LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include external-reference mid-scale power-on reset behavior, 2.4nV·s DAC-to-DAC crosstalk, ±2.5LSB INL, 4.8µs settling time at 12-bit, and QFN-16 package compatibility with daisy-chain SDO support.
Technical Context
The LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF implements four independent 12-bit DAC cores sharing a single 32-bit shift register and decode logic, with hardware LDAC enabling simultaneous update of all outputs. Its internal reference switch selects between 2.048V (half-scale) output at REF pin or external reference mode where full-scale equals VREF input (1V to VCC).
Power-on reset defaults to mid-scale under external reference mode-output settles to VREF/2 on power-up-while digital interface timing complies with SPI Mode 0/3 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0/1), supporting 50MHz SCK with 7ns setup/hold margins. The device incorporates power-down mode reducing ICC to ≤30µA at 5V.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic QFN with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND). RoHS-compliant, lead-free, tape-and-reel (2500 pcs).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUTA–VOUTD (Pins 1,2,11,12) | Analog voltage outputs | Rail-to-rail buffered outputs; each drives ≥2kΩ load with <0.16 LSB/mA load regulation |
| LDAC (Pin 3) | Asynchronous DAC update | Falling edge triggers immediate latch update; powers up DACs when held low |
| CS/LD (Pin 4) | Chip select / load command | Active-low enables SCK; rising edge executes command (write, power-down, etc.) |
| SCK (Pin 5) | Serial clock input | Accepts 50MHz CMOS/TTL clock; controls data shift into 32-bit register |
| DNC (Pins 6,15) | No-connect | Must remain unconnected; no internal connection or function |
| SDO (Pin 7) | Serial data output | 32-cycle delayed echo of SDI input; enables daisy-chaining without tri-state logic |
| SDI (Pin 8) | Serial data input | Accepts 24- or 32-bit words on SCK rising edge; MSB-first format |
| CLR (Pin 9) | Asynchronous clear | Level-sensitive low resets all registers to mid-scale (VREF/2) in external reference mode |
| REF (Pin 10) | Reference input/output | In HMX mode: input only (1V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC); bypass with 0.1µF to GND |
| REFLO (Pin 13) | Reference low | Internally tied to GND; sets zero-scale reference point for all DACs |
| GND (Pin 14) | Ground | Analog/digital common return; connects to exposed pad (Pin 17) |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Positive supply | 4.5V–5.5V only; requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| External-reference mid-scale power-on reset | Outputs initialize to VREF/2 without firmware intervention-critical for fail-safe analog subsystems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad DAC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5686RBCPZ-RL7 | 16-bit resolution, internal 2.5V reference, 10ppm/°C drift, same QFN-16 package | Higher resolution but fixed internal reference; lacks external-ref mid-scale reset | Select when absolute accuracy >12-bit is required and external reference flexibility is not needed |
| MCP4728-E/UN | 12-bit, I²C interface, internal 2.048V reference, MSOP-10 package, no LDAC/CLR | I²C simplifies MCU integration but limits speed; no hardware update or clear functionality | Select for cost-sensitive, lower-speed designs where SPI daisy-chaining and synchronous update are unnecessary |
Compared with AD5686RBCPZ-RL7 and MCP4728-E/UN, the LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF uniquely combines external-reference operation with guaranteed mid-scale power-on reset, ultralow crosstalk, and SPI daisy-chain capability-making it optimal for safety-critical, multi-channel industrial control where deterministic startup behavior and channel isolation are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the power-on behavior of the LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF?
The LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF powers up with all four DAC outputs set to mid-scale (VREF/2) when operating in external reference mode-no software initialization required. This behavior is hardwired and ensures safe, repeatable startup in systems sensitive to transient analog outputs. The internal reference is disabled in the HMX variant, so REF must be driven externally.
Does the LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF support daisy-chaining via its SDO pin?
Yes, the LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF supports daisy-chaining: its SDO pin outputs the SDI data stream delayed by exactly 32 SCK rising edges, allowing multiple devices to share one SPI bus. Each device shifts data through its 32-bit register before passing it downstream-enabling compact, scalable multi-DAC systems without additional logic.
What is the maximum allowed reference voltage for the LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF?
The LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF accepts an external reference voltage from 1V up to VCC (max 5.5V). In HMX configuration, the internal reference is disabled, so REF functions solely as an input. The full-scale DAC output equals the applied VREF, and the device guarantees rail-to-rail operation (0V to VREF) across the specified temperature range.
How does the LDAC pin function in the LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF?
The LDAC pin on the LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF provides asynchronous, hardware-controlled update of all four DAC outputs. A falling edge immediately transfers data from input registers to DAC registers-enabling precise timing of analog output changes independent of SPI transaction completion. When CS/LD is low, LDAC falling edge triggers update upon CS/LD rising edge.
Can the LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF operate from a 3.3V supply?
No-the LTC2634IUD-HMX12#TRPBF requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.5V due to its 4.096V internal reference architecture and associated buffer headroom. Operation below 4.5V violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings and will result in undefined output behavior or failure to meet specifications. For 3.3V systems, consider the LTC2634-L series variants instead.
