Product details
Overview
LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a single-channel, 12-bit voltage-output DAC with integrated 2.5V precision reference (10ppm/°C), rail-to-rail output buffer, SPI/MICROWIRE™-compatible 3-wire interface, and power-on reset to zero-scale. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, draws only 180µA at 3V, and guarantees monotonicity over –40°C to 85°C (I-grade). Used in precision analog control loops requiring stable, low-drift DC bias generation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF pinout, LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF application, or LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±1LSB INL accuracy, 4.1µs settling time to ±1LSB, 0.7mVPP (0.1Hz–200kHz) output noise, and TSOT-23-8 package compatibility with space-constrained industrial sensor interfaces and portable instrumentation.
Technical Context
The LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF implements a resistor-divider-based DAC architecture with double-buffered input and DAC registers, enabling glitch-free updates via Write+Update command (0b0011). Its internal 2.5V reference is buffered and available at REF pin, supporting bidirectional use as input (external reference mode) or 10ppm/°C output.
It features asynchronous hardware clear (CLR) for deterministic zero-scale initialization, power-down mode consuming ≤1.8µA (I-grade), and SPI timing compliant up to 50MHz with setup/hold times of 4ns. The device uses 24-bit serial framing: 4-bit command + 4 don't-care + 12-bit data + 4 don't-care bits.

Equivalent & Alternatives

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP4922-E/SL | 12-bit, dual-channel, SPI interface, no internal reference (requires external 2.5V ref), ±2 LSB INL | Requires external reference and layout area; better suited for dual-output systems | Select when dual DAC channels and lower cost outweigh need for integrated reference and tighter INL |

FAQ
What is the full-scale output voltage of the LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF in internal reference mode?
The LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF delivers a full-scale output voltage of 2.5 V in internal reference mode, derived from its integrated 10 ppm/°C precision reference. This value is specified as 2.5 V × (4095/4096) = 2.49939 V typical, with ±0.4% full-scale error over temperature. External reference mode allows user-defined full-scale by applying 0–VCC to the REF pin.
Does the LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF support true rail-to-rail output swing?
Yes, the LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF features a rail-to-rail output buffer that drives VOUT from within 10 mV of GND to within 10 mV of VCC across the full operating temperature range. This capability is confirmed in the datasheet's "DC Performance" section and enables direct interfacing with op-amps and ADCs operating at the supply rails.
How does the power-on reset behavior of the LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF differ from mid-scale reset variants?
The LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF resets to zero-scale (code 0x000) on power-up, enforced by its "Z" suffix designation. Unlike mid-scale reset variants (e.g., LTC2640A-LM12), this ensures deterministic startup at 0 V output-critical for safety-critical analog control paths where nonzero initial conditions could trigger false alarms or actuator movement.
Can the REF pin of the LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF be used simultaneously as input and output?
No-the REF pin of the LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF operates in one mode at a time: either as an output (internal reference enabled) or as an input (external reference selected). Mode selection is fixed at power-up by the part number variant (LZ = internal 2.5V); software cannot dynamically switch modes. The pin must not be driven externally while in internal reference mode.
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF?
The LTC2640ACTS8-LZ12#TRPBF supports SPI clock frequencies up to 50 MHz, with minimum SCK high/low times of 9 ns each and setup/hold times of 4 ns. This timing is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) and enables high-throughput configuration in real-time control systems without requiring clock dividers or wait states.
