Product details
Overview
LTC8043FS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a serial-input 12-bit multiplying DAC in SO-8 package, supporting 4-quadrant multiplication with ±0.5LSB INL over temperature, ±1LSB max gain error, and 0.25µs output settling time. It serves as a pin-compatible upgrade to DAC-8043 and MAX543 in programmable gain amplifiers and digitally controlled power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC8043FS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC8043FS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC8043FS8#TRPBF application, or LTC8043FS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed monotonicity, low 60–90pF output capacitance, 3-wire serial interface timing (tDS = 30ns), ±25nA leakage over –40°C to 85°C, and VREF tolerance up to ±25V.
Technical Context
The LTC8043FS8#TRPBF implements a 12-bit current-output multiplying DAC architecture with internal feedback resistor routing, enabling precise 2- and 4-quadrant operation via external op-amp configuration. Its 3-wire serial interface (CLK, SRI, LD) supports asynchronous load control and eliminates need for frame synchronization.
It features guaranteed monotonicity across –40°C to 85°C, ±0.5LSB DNL, and low sensitivity to output amplifier offset-critical for closed-loop gain control. The SO-8 package integrates all digital inputs (VIH = 2.4V, VIL = 0.8V) and analog terminals (VREF, RFB, IOUT) with absolute max ratings including ±25V on VREF/RFB and 7V on VDD.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiplying DAC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1451CS8#TRPBF | 12-bit serial VOUT DAC (not multiplying); integrated output buffer; no VREF pin | Fixed-gain, single-supply voltage-output only; unsuitable for 4-quadrant or high-VREF applications | Select when buffered voltage output suffices and external op-amp is undesirable |
| LTC7543CN8#PBF | 12-bit serial multiplying DAC in PDIP-8; same INL/DNL specs but higher θJA (130°C/W) and no SO-8 option | Same functional capability but through-hole only; less suitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select for legacy through-hole designs or where thermal dissipation margin exceeds SO-8 limits |
Compared with LTC1451CS8#TRPBF and LTC7543CN8#PBF, the LTC8043FS8#TRPBF uniquely combines SO-8 packaging, ±25V VREF tolerance, and guaranteed monotonicity in a 3-wire multiplying architecture-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-voltage, closed-loop gain control.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC8043FS8#TRPBF?
The LTC8043FS8#TRPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting extended industrial temperature requirements. All key specifications-including ±0.5LSB INL, ±0.5LSB DNL, and ±25nA output leakage-are guaranteed across this full range, making LTC8043FS8#TRPBF suitable for harsh environmental deployments in factory automation and outdoor instrumentation.
Does the LTC8043FS8#TRPBF require an external op-amp to generate a voltage output?
Yes, the LTC8043FS8#TRPBF is a current-output DAC and requires an external op-amp connected between IOUT and RFB to convert its output current to a voltage. This configuration enables both 2-quadrant (unipolar) and 4-quadrant (bipolar) operation depending on VREF polarity and op-amp topology-core functionality confirmed in LTC8043FS8#TRPBF's typical applications TA03 and TA04.
Is the LTC8043FS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with the DAC-8043?
Yes, the LTC8043FS8#TRPBF is explicitly designed as a superior pin-compatible replacement for the DAC-8043. Pin assignments, SO-8 footprint, and electrical interface (VREF, RFB, IOUT, CLK, SRI, LD, GND, VDD) match exactly. LTC8043FS8#TRPBF improves upon DAC-8043 with tighter INL/DNL, lower output capacitance, and enhanced temperature stability-no PCB redesign is needed.
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the VREF pin of the LTC8043FS8#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum rating for the VREF pin of the LTC8043FS8#TRPBF is ±25V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows direct use with high-voltage references or bipolar signal sources. Operation within this limit ensures safe 4-quadrant multiplication; exceeding ±25V risks permanent damage to LTC8043FS8#TRPBF's internal circuitry.
How does the 3-wire serial interface of the LTC8043FS8#TRPBF differ from standard SPI?
The LTC8043FS8#TRPBF uses CLK, SRI, and LD signals-omitting chip select (CS) and MISO/MOSI framing. Data is loaded LSB-first on CLK rising edges; LD strobe then transfers the 12-bit word from shift register to DAC register asynchronously. This simplifies isolation and reduces pin count versus SPI, and is fully documented in LTC8043FS8#TRPBF's timing diagram TA01 and electrical characteristics table.
