Product details
Overview
LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a 10-bit, single-channel, rail-to-rail voltage-output DAC with integrated 2.5V ±10ppm/°C reference, SPI/MICROWIRE™-compatible 3-wire interface, and power-on reset to zero-scale. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, delivers ±1LSB INL (max), settles in 3.8µs to ±1LSB, and draws only 180µA at 3V - enabling precision analog control in space-constrained industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF application, or LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed monotonicity over temperature, low 0.7mVPP (0.1Hz–200kHz) output noise, 50MHz max SCK rate, TSOT-23-8 package compatibility, and support for both internal reference (2.5V full-scale) and external reference modes.
Technical Context
The LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF implements a resistor-divider-based DAC architecture with double-buffered input and DAC registers, enabling glitch-free updates via Write+Update commands. Its internal 2.5V reference features ±10ppm/°C drift and is accessible at the REF pin for buffering or external use.
It supports SPI-compatible serial communication with 24-bit framing (4-bit command + 4 don't-care + 16-bit data), operates with CS/LD level-triggered load control, and includes asynchronous hardware CLR (Pin 8) for immediate zero-scale reset - critical for fail-safe analog output initialization in safety-critical subsystems.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 3mm × 1.7mm footprint, 0.65mm pitch, thermal resistance θJA = 195°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS/LD (Pin 1) | Chip Select / Load Enable | Level-triggered active-low signal that enables SCK/SDI and initiates command execution on rising edge - supports daisy-chaining and multi-DAC synchronization. |
| SCK (Pin 2) | Serial Clock Input | CMOS/TTL-compatible clock up to 50MHz; data latched on rising edge - enables deterministic timing for deterministic control loop latency. |
| SDI (Pin 3) | Serial Data Input | 24-bit frame input (command + don't-care + data); accepts 10-bit code MSB-aligned with 6 trailing don't-care bits - simplifies FPGA/microcontroller driver development. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog/Digital Ground | Single ground pin shared by analog and digital sections - requires star grounding and local 0.1µF bypass to minimize PSR degradation. |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Positive Supply | 2.7V–5.5V operation; powers internal reference, DAC core, and I/O - must be decoupled with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| REF (Pin 6) | Reference I/O | Bidirectional: outputs 2.5V internal reference (±10ppm/°C) or accepts external 0–VCC input to set full-scale - enables flexible scaling without external op-amps. |
| VOUT (Pin 7) | Analog Voltage Output | Rail-to-rail buffered output capable of sourcing/sinking ±10mA - drives 2kΩ loads directly while maintaining monotonicity and low distortion. |
| CLR (Pin 8) | Asynchronous Clear | Active-low level-triggered reset forcing VOUT to 0V regardless of register state - provides hardware-level fault recovery for safety-critical actuator control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed Monotonicity | Ensures no output voltage reversal across all codes and temperatures - essential for stable feedback in PID controllers and motor commutation. |
| Low 0.7mVPP Output Noise | 0.1Hz–200kHz bandwidth enables high-resolution measurements in precision data acquisition without post-DAC filtering. |
| Hardware Asynchronous CLR | Enables deterministic zero-output assertion within nanoseconds - critical for emergency shutdown in industrial motion control. |
| Double-Buffered Registers | Separates input loading from DAC update, preventing partial-code glitches during concurrent write-and-execute operations. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-output DAC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP4822-E/SN | 12-bit, dual-channel, SPI interface; external reference only; no integrated reference; ±2LSB INL; 2.7–5.5V supply. | Requires external 2.5V reference and additional decoupling; lacks hardware CLR and power-on zero-reset. | Select when dual DAC channels are needed and system already provides precision reference; not drop-in due to missing internal reference and CLR. |
| AD5620BRJZ-REEL7 | 12-bit, single-channel, SPI; internal 2.5V reference (±10ppm/°C); 3.3–5.5V supply; no hardware CLR; ±4LSB INL. | Higher INL error limits resolution in high-accuracy calibration; no asynchronous reset complicates safety-critical zero-fault handling. | Choose for higher resolution where ±4LSB INL is acceptable and hardware reset is managed externally; pinout differs (SOT-23-6). |
Compared with MCP4822-E/SN and AD5620BRJZ-REEL7, the LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF uniquely combines 10-bit precision with integrated 2.5V reference, hardware CLR, and guaranteed monotonicity - making it optimal for zero-fault-critical, space-constrained analog control where reference integration and deterministic reset are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the full-scale output voltage of the LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF in internal reference mode?
The LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF has a full-scale output voltage of 2.5V when operating in internal reference mode, derived from its integrated 2.5V ±10ppm/°C reference. This value is fixed and does not vary with supply voltage within the 2.7V–5.5V operating range, enabling stable scaling for 10-bit (1024-step) analog output generation.
Does the LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF support external reference operation?
Yes, the LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF supports external reference operation via the REF pin (Pin 6), which accepts an input voltage from 0V to VCC. When an external reference is applied, the full-scale output becomes equal to that reference voltage - allowing flexible scaling from 0V to 5.5V while retaining the device's ±1LSB INL performance and rail-to-rail output capability.
What is the purpose of the CLR pin on the LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF?
The CLR (Pin 8) on the LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF is an asynchronous, level-triggered clear input that forces the DAC output to zero-scale (0V) immediately upon assertion, independent of SPI activity or register contents. This hardware reset is critical for safety-critical applications such as industrial actuator control, where deterministic zero-output must be guaranteed during fault conditions or power cycling.
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF?
The LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF supports a maximum SPI clock (SCK) frequency of 50MHz with 50% duty cycle, as specified across its full operating temperature range. This high-speed interface enables rapid updates - for example, completing a full 24-bit write-and-update command in under 500ns - making it suitable for real-time closed-loop control systems requiring low-latency analog output changes.
How does the power-on reset behavior of the LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF differ from mid-scale reset variants?
The LTC2640CTS8-LZ10#TRMPBF features power-on reset to zero-scale (denoted by "Z" in the part number), meaning its output defaults to 0V at power-up. This contrasts with mid-scale reset variants (e.g., LTC2640CTS8-LM10#TRMPBF), which initialize to 1.25V. The zero-scale reset eliminates transient voltage spikes in downstream circuits during startup - a key requirement in applications like valve control or laser biasing where nonzero initial states could cause damage or instability.
