Product details
Overview
LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 10-bit voltage-output DAC with integrated 2.5V ±10ppm/°C reference, rail-to-rail output buffer, SPI/MICROWIRE™-compatible 3-wire interface, and power-on reset to zero-scale. It operates from a single 2.7V–5.5V supply, delivers ±1LSB INL (max), settles in 3.8µs to ±1LSB, and draws only 180µA at 3V - ideal for precision analog control in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF pinout, LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF application, or LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating conditions, real-world application mappings, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative part options.
Technical Context
The LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#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 temperature-stable (±10ppm/°C), and the output stage guarantees monotonicity across –40°C to 125°C (H-grade).
It supports both Internal Reference mode (2.5V full-scale) and External Reference mode (0V to VCC), with bidirectional REF pin functionality. The 24-bit serial frame includes 4-bit command, 4 don't-care bits, and 10-bit data + 6 don't-care bits - compatible with standard SPI controllers at up to 50MHz SCK.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit - delivers 1024 discrete output levels with guaranteed monotonicity over temperature. |
| Full-Scale Output | 2.5V (internal reference) - fixed, low-drift reference enables absolute voltage accuracy without external components. |
| INL Error | ±1LSB max - ensures end-point linearity critical for closed-loop control and calibration systems. |
| Settling Time | 3.8µs to ±1LSB - supports high-speed waveform generation and dynamic biasing in ATE and optical modules. |
| Supply Current | 180µA at 3V - enables battery-powered operation with minimal impact on system power budget. |
| Power-Down Current | 1.8µA max (H-grade) - allows deep sleep between measurement cycles in portable sensors. |
| Reference Tempco | ±10ppm/°C - maintains <±0.025% full-scale drift over –40°C to 125°C, eliminating recalibration needs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 3mm × 1.75mm footprint, 0.65mm pitch, thermal resistance θJA = 195°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS/LD (Pin 1) | Serial interface chip select / load enable | Level-triggered active-low signal that enables SCK/SDI and executes command on rising edge. |
| SCK (Pin 2) | Serial clock input | CMOS/TTL-compatible clock accepting up to 50MHz; data latched on rising edge. |
| SDI (Pin 3) | Serial data input | MSB-first 24-bit frame: 4-bit command + 4 don't-care + 10-bit code + 6 don't-care bits. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog/digital ground reference | Single ground connection; requires low-impedance return path for reference and output stability. |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Positive supply input | 2.7V–5.5V operation; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to pin for noise immunity. |
| REF (Pin 6) | Bidirectional reference I/O | Outputs 2.5V internal reference (±10ppm/°C); accepts 0V–VCC external reference for scaling flexibility. |
| VOUT (Pin 7) | Analog voltage output | Rail-to-rail buffered output capable of sourcing/sinking ±28mA; stable into 500pF capacitive loads. |
| CLR (Pin 8) | Asynchronous clear input | Active-low level-triggered reset forcing DAC output to zero-scale regardless of register state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 2.5V reference | Eliminates need for external precision reference IC or resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Zero-scale power-on reset | Ensures deterministic startup behavior - critical for safety-critical systems where undefined initial output is unacceptable. |
| Guaranteed monotonicity | Prevents output reversal during code transitions, essential for control loop stability in motor drivers and PID circuits. |
| Low 0.7mVPP noise (0.1Hz–200kHz) | Supports high-resolution measurements in sensitive analog front-ends without added filtering overhead. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DAC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP4921-E/SN | 12-bit, external reference only, no integrated ref, 2.7–5.5V supply, ±2LSB INL, SPI interface | Lacks internal reference and zero-scale POR - requires external 2.5V ref and POR circuitry for equivalent functionality | Select when higher resolution is needed and board space allows external reference; not drop-in for reference-integrated designs |
| AD5620BRJZ-REEL7 | 12-bit, internal 2.5V ref (±10ppm/°C), SPI, 2.7–5.5V, ±1LSB INL, but no CLR pin or zero-scale POR | Missing asynchronous clear and deterministic zero-startup - unsuitable for safety-critical or reset-sensitive systems | Choose for higher resolution where startup state is managed externally; verify system-level reset coordination |
Compared with MCP4921-E/SN and AD5620BRJZ-REEL7, the LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF uniquely combines 10-bit precision, integrated 2.5V reference, zero-scale power-on reset, and asynchronous clear - delivering a self-contained, safety-aware DAC solution with no external support components required.

FAQ
What is the full-scale output voltage of the LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF in internal reference mode?
The LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF has a fixed full-scale output voltage of 2.5V when operating in internal reference mode. This value is derived from its integrated 2.5V reference with ±10ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stable scaling across –40°C to 125°C without external components.
Does the LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF support external reference operation?
Yes, the LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF supports external reference operation via the REF pin (Pin 6), which accepts input voltages from 0V to VCC. In this mode, the full-scale output becomes equal to the applied external reference voltage, enabling flexible scaling for applications requiring non-standard output ranges.
What is the purpose of the CLR pin on the LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF?
The CLR (Pin 8) on the LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF is an asynchronous, level-triggered clear input. When driven low, it forces the DAC output to zero-scale immediately - independent of clock or register state - providing deterministic reset capability for fault recovery and system initialization sequences.
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF?
The LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF supports SPI clock frequencies up to 50MHz with 50% duty cycle, as specified in its timing characteristics. This high-speed interface enables rapid updates in real-time control and waveform generation applications while maintaining compatibility with standard microcontroller SPI peripherals.
How does the power-on reset behavior of the LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF differ from mid-scale reset variants?
The LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF features zero-scale power-on reset (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., LTC2640ITS8-LM10#TRPBF), which initialize to 1.25V - making the LTC2640ITS8-LZ10#TRPBF preferred for systems requiring guaranteed safe startup states.
