FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Dual 12-/10-/8-Bit I2C
VOUT DACs with
10ppm/°C Reference
The LTC
®
2633 is a family of dual 12-, 10-, and 8-bit
voltage-output DACs with an integrated, high accuracy,
low drift reference in an 8-lead TSOT-23 package. It has
rail-to-rail output buffers and is guaranteed monotonic.
The LTC2633-L has a full-scale output of 2.5V, and operates
from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply. The LTC2633-H has a
full-scale output of 4.096V, and operates from a 4.5V to
5.5V supply. Each DAC can also operate with an external
reference, which sets the full-scale output to the external
reference voltage.
These DACs communicate via a 2-wire I2C-compatible
serial interface. The LTC2633 operates in both the standard
mode (clock rate of 100kHz) and the fast mode (clock rate
of 400kHz). The LTC2633 incorporates a power-on reset
circuit. Options are available for reset to zero-scale, reset
to mid-scale in internal reference mode, reset to mid-scale
in external reference mode, or reset with all DAC outputs
in a high impedance state after power-up.

Note 1. Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2. All voltages are with respect to GND
Note 3. Linearity and monotonicity are defined from code kL to code
2N–1, where N is the resolution and kL is given by kL = 0.016 • (2N/ VFS),
rounded to the nearest whole code. For VFS = 2.5V and N = 12, kL = 26 and
linearity is defined from code 26 to code 4,095. For VFS = 4.096V and
N = 12, kL = 16 and linearity is defined from code 16 to code 4,095.
Note 4. Inferred from measurement at code 16 (LTC2633-12), code 4
(LTC2633-10) or code 1 (LTC2633-8), and at full scale.
Note 5. This IC includes current limiting that is intended to protect the
device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature can
exceed the rated maximum during current limiting. Continuous operation
above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair
device reliability.
Note 6. Digital inputs at 0V or VCC.
Note 7. Guaranteed by design and not production tested.
Note 8. Internal reference mode. DAC is stepped 1/4 scale to 3/4 scale and
3/4 scale to 1/4 scale. Load is 2kΩ in parallel with 100pF to GND.
Note 9. Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
Note 10. Maximum VIH = VCC(MAX) + 0.5V
Note 11. CB = capacitance of one bus line in pF
Note 12. All values refer to VIH = VIH(MIN) and VIL = VIL(MAX) levels.
Note 13. Minimum VIL exceeds the absolute maximum rating. This
condition won’t damage the IC, but could degrade performance.

PIN FUNCTIONS
SCL (Pin 1): Serial Clock Input Pin. Data is shifted into the
SDA pin at the rising edges of the clock. This high impedance
pin requires a pull-up resistor or current source to VCC.
CA0 (Pin 2): Chip Address Bit 0. Tie this pin to VCC, GND
or leave it floating to select an I2C slave address for the
part (see Table 1).
REF (Pin 3): Reference Voltage Input or Output. When
external reference mode is selected, REF is an input (1V ≤
VREF ≤ VCC) where the voltage supplied sets the full-scale
DAC output voltage. When internal reference is selected,
the 10ppm/°C 1.25V (LTC2633-L) or 2.048V (LTC2633-H)
internal reference (half full-scale) is available at the pin.
This output may be bypassed to GND with up to 10µF
(0.1µF is recommended) and must be buffered when
driving external DC load current.
GND (Pin 4): Ground.
VOUTA, VOUTB (Pins 5,6): DAC Analog Voltage Output.
VCC (Pin 7): Supply Voltage Input. 2.7V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V
(LTC2633-L) or 4.5V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V (LTC2633-H). Bypass
to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
SDA (Pin 8): Serial Data Bidirectional Pin. Data is shifted
into the SDA pin and acknowledged by the SDA pin. This
pin is high impedance while data is shifted in. Open drain
N-channel output during acknowledgement. SDA requires
a pull-up resistor or current source to VCC.

OPERATION
The LTC2633 is a family of dual voltage output DACs in an
8-lead TSOT package. Each DAC can operate rail-to-rail
using an external reference, or with its full-scale voltage
set by an integrated reference. Eighteen combinations of
accuracy (12-, 10-, and 8-bit), power-on reset value (zero-
scale, mid-scale in internal reference mode, or mid-scale
in external reference mode), DAC power-down output load
(high impedance or 200kΩ), and full-scale voltage (2.5V
or 4.096V) are available. The LTC2633 is controlled using
a 2-wire I2C interface.
Power-On Reset
The LTC2633-HZ/LTC2633-LZ clear the output to zero-scale
when power is first applied, making system initialization
consistent and repeatable.
For some applications, downstream circuits are active dur-
ing DAC power-up, and may be sensitive to nonzero outputs
from the DAC during this time. The LTC2633 contains
circuitry to reduce the power-on glitch: the analog output
typically rises less than 10mV above zero scale during
power-on. In general, the glitch amplitude decreases as the
power supply ramp time is increased. See power-on reset
glitch in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
The LTC2633-HI/LTC2633-LI/LTC2633-LX provide an
alternative reset, setting the output to mid-scale when
power is first applied. The LTC2633-LI/ and LTC2633-HI
power up in internal reference mode, with the output set
to a mid-scale voltage of 1.25V and 2.048V respectively.
The LTC2633-LX power-up in external reference mode, with
the output set to mid-scale of the external reference. The
LTC2633-LO powers up in internal reference mode with
all the DAC channels placed in the high impedance state
(powered down). Input and DAC registers are set to the
mid-scale code, and only the internal reference is powered
up, causing supply current to be typically 180µA upon
power up. Default reference mode selection is described
in the Reference Modes section.
Power Supply Sequencing
The voltage at REF (Pin 3) must be kept within the range
–0.3V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC + 0.3V (see Absolute Maximum Rat-
ings). Particular care should be taken to observe these
limits during power supply turn-on and turn-off sequences,
when the voltage at VCC is in transition.
Transfer Function
The digital-to-analog transfer function is:
VOUT(IDEAL) =k
2
NVREF
where k is the decimal equivalent of the binary DAC input
code, N is the resolution, and VREF is either 2.5V (LTC2633-LI/
LTC2633-LX/LTC2633-LO/LTC2633-LZ) or 4.096V
(LTC2633-HI/LTC2633-HZ) when in internal reference
mode, and the voltage at REF when in external reference
mode.
I2C Serial Interface
The LTC2633 communicates with a host using the stan-
dard 2-wire I2C interface. The Timing Diagram (Figures
1 and 2) show the timing relationship of the signals on
the bus. The two bus lines, SDA and SCL, must be high
when the bus is not in use. External pull-up resistors or
current sources are required on these lines. The value of
these pull-up resistors is dependent on the power supply
and can be obtained from the I2C specifications. For an
I2C bus operating in the fast mode, an active pull-up will
be necessary if the bus capacitance is greater than 200pF.
The LTC2633 is a receive-only (slave) device. The master
can write to the LTC2633. The LTC2633 will not acknowl-
edge (NAK) a read request from the master.
LTC2633
17
2633fc

OPERATION
START (S) and STOP (P) Conditions
When the bus is not in use, both SCL and SDA must be
high. A bus master signals the beginning of a communica-
tion to a slave device by transmitting a START condition. A
START condition is generated by transitioning SDA from
high to low while SCL is high.
When the master has finished communicating with the
slave, it issues a STOP condition. A STOP condition is
generated by transitioning SDA from low to high while
SCL is high. The bus is then free for communication with
another I2C device.
Acknowledge
The acknowledge (ACK) signal is used for handshaking
between the master and the slave. An ACK generated by the
slave lets the master know that the latest byte of informa-
tion was properly received. The ACK related clock pulse is
generated by the master. The master releases the SDA line
(HIGH) during the ACK clock pulse. The slave-receiver must
pull down the SDA bus line during the ACK clock pulse
so that it remains a stable LOW during the HIGH period
of this clock pulse. The LTC2633 responds to a write by a
master in this manner but does not acknowledge a read
operation; in that case, SDA is retained HIGH during the
period of the ACK clock pulse.
Chip Address
The state of pin CA0 determines the slave address of the
part. This pin can be set to any one of three states: VCC, GND
or float. This results in 3 selectable addresses for the part.
The slave address assignments is shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Slave Address Map
CA0 A6 A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 A0
GND 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
FLOAT 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
VCC 0 0 1 0 0 1 0
GLOBAL ADDR 1 1 1 0 0 1 1
In addition to the address selected by the address pin,
the part also responds to a global address. This address
allows a common write to all LTC2633 parts to be ac-
complished using one 3-byte write transaction on the I2C
bus. The global address, listed at the end of Tables 1, is a
7-bit hardwired address not selectable by CA0. If another
address is required, please consult the factory.
The maximum capacitive load allowed on the address pin
(CA0) is 10pF, as these pins are driven during address
detection to determine if they are floating.
Write Word Protocol
The master initiates communication with the LTC2633
with a START condition and a 7-bit slave address followed
by the write bit (W) = 0. The LTC2633 acknowledges by
pulling the SDA pin low at the 9th clock if the 7-bit slave
address matches the address of the part (set by CA0) or
the global address. The master then transmits three bytes
of data. The LTC2633 acknowledges each byte of data
by pulling the SDA line low at the 9th clock of each data
byte transmission. After receiving three complete bytes
of data, the LTC2633 executes the command specified in
the 24-bit input word.
If more than three data bytes are transmitted after a valid
7-bit slave address, the LTC2633 does not acknowledge the
extra bytes of data (SDA is high during the 9th clock).

The format of the three data bytes is shown in Figure
3. The first byte of the input word consists of the 4-bit
command, followed by the 4-bit DAC address. The next
two bytes contain the 16-bit data word, which consists
of the 12-, 10- or 8-bit input code, MSB to LSB, followed
by 4, 6 or 8 don’t-care bits (LTC2633-12, LTC2633-10
and LTC2633-8 respectively). A typical LTC2633 write
transaction is shown in Figure 4.
The command bit assignments (C3-C0) and address (A3-
A0) assignments are shown in Tables 3 and 4. The first
four commands in the table consist of write and update
operations. A write operation loads a 16-bit data word
from the 32-bit shift register into the input register. In an
update operation, the data word is copied from the input
register to the DAC register. Once copied into the DAC
register, the data word becomes the active 12-, 10-, or
8-bit input code, and is converted to an analog voltage at
the DAC output. Write to and update combines the first
two commands. The update operation also powers up the
DAC if it had been in power-down mode. The data path
and registers are shown in the Block Diagram.

Reference Modes
For applications where an accurate external reference is
either not available, or not desirable due to limited space,
the LTC2633 has a user-selectable, integrated reference.
The integrated reference voltage is internally amplified
by 2x to provide the full-scale DAC output voltage range.
The LTC2633-LI/LTC2633-LX/LTC2633-LO/LTC2633-LZ
provides a full-scale output of 2.5V. The LTC2633-HI/
LTC2633-HZ provides a full-scale output of 4.096V. The
internal reference can be useful in applications where
the supply voltage is poorly regulated. Internal reference
mode can be selected by using command 0110b, and is
the power-on default for LTC2633-HZ/LTC2633-LZ, as well
as for LTC2633-HI/LTC2633-LI/LTC2633-LO.
The 10ppm/°C, 1.25V (LTC2633-LI/LTC2633-LX/LTC2633-
LO/LTC2633-LZ) or 2.048V (LTC2633-HI/LTC2633-HZ)
internal reference is available at the REF pin. Adding
bypass capacitance to the REF pin will improve noise
performance; 0.1µF is recommended and up to 10µF can
be driven without oscillation. This output must be buffered
when driving an external DC load current.
Alternatively, the DAC can operate in external reference
mode using command 0111b. In this mode, an input voltage
supplied externally to the REF pin provides the reference
(1V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC) and the supply current is reduced. The
external reference voltage supplied sets the full-scale DAC
output voltage. External reference mode is the power-on
default for LTC2633-LX.
The reference mode of LTC2633-HZ/LTC2633-LZ/
LTC2633-HI/LTC2633-LI/LTC2633-LO (internal reference
power-on default), can be changed by software command
after power up. The same is true for LTC2633-LX (external
reference power-on default).
Power-Down Mode
For power-constrained applications, power-down mode can
be used to reduce the supply current whenever less than
two DAC outputs are needed. When in power-down, the
buffer amplifiers, bias circuits, and integrated reference
circuits are disabled, and draw essentially zero current.
The DAC outputs are put into a high impedance state, and
the output pins are passively pulled to ground through
individual 200kΩ resistors (LTC2633-LI/LTC2633-LX/
LTC2633-LO/LTC2633-LZ/LTC2633-HI/LTC2633-HZ). For
the LTC2633-LO options, the output pins are not passively
pulled to ground, but are also placed in a high impedance
state (open-circuited state) during power-down, typically
drawing less than 0.1µA. The LTC2633-LO options power-
up with all DAC outputs in this high impedance state. They
remain that way until given a software update command.
For all LTC2633 options, Input- and DAC-register contents
are not disturbed during power-down.
Any channel or combination of channels can be put into
power-down mode by using command 0100b in combi-
nation with the appropriate DAC address, (n). The supply
current is reduced approximately 30% for each DAC
powered down. The integrated reference is automatically
powered down when external reference is selected using
command 0111b. In addition, all the DAC channels and the
integrated reference together can be put into power-down
mode using Power Down Chip command 0101b. When
the integrated reference is in power-down mode, the REF
pin becomes high impedance (typically > 1GΩ). For all
power-down commands the 16-bit data word is ignored.
Normal operation resumes after executing any command
that includes a DAC update, (as shown in Table 1). The
selected DAC is powered up as its voltage output is up-
dated. When a DAC which is in a powered-down state is
powered up and updated, normal settling is delayed. If
less than two DACs are in a powered-down state prior to
the update command, the power-up delay time is 10µs.
However, if both DACs and the integrated reference are
powered down, then the main bias generation circuit block
has been automatically shut down in addition to the DAC
amplifiers and reference buffers. In this case, the power up
delay time is 12µs. The power-up of the integrated refer-
ence depends on the command that powered it down. If
the reference is powered down using the select external
reference command (0111b), then it can only be powered
back up using select internal reference command (0110b).
However, if the reference was powered down using power
down chip command (0101b), then in addition to select

Voltage Output
The LTC2633’s integrated rail-to-rail amplifier has guaran-
teed load regulation when sourcing or sinking up to 10mA
at 5V, and 5mA at 3V.
Load regulation is a measure of the amplifier’s ability to
maintain the rated voltage accuracy over a wide range of
load current. The measured change in output voltage per
change in forced load current is expressed in LSB/mA.
DC output impedance is equivalent to load regulation, and
may be derived from it by simply calculating a change
in units from LSB/mA to Ω. The amplifier’s DC output
impedance is 0.1Ω when driving a load well away from
the rails.
When drawing a load current from either rail, the output
voltage headroom with respect to that rail is limited by
the 50Ω typical channel resistance of the output devices
(e.g., when sinking 1mA, the minimum output voltage is
50Ω • 1mA, or 50mV). See the graph Headroom at Rails
vs Output Current in the Typical Performance Character-
istics section.
The amplifier is stable driving capacitive loads of up to
500pF.
Rail-to-Rail Output Considerations
In any rail-to-rail voltage output device, the output is limited
to voltages within the supply range.
Since the analog output of the DAC cannot go below ground,
it may limit for the lowest codes as shown in Figure 5b.
Similarly, limiting can occur near full scale when the REF
pin is tied to VCC. If VREF = VCC and the DAC full-scale error
(FSE) is positive, the output for the highest codes limits
at VCC, as shown in Figure 5c. No full-scale limiting can
occur if VREF is less than VCC–FSE.
Offset and linearity are defined and tested over the region
of the DAC transfer function where no output limiting can
occur.

Board Layout
The PC board should have separate areas for the analog and
digital sections of the circuit. A single, solid ground plane
should be used, with analog and digital signals carefully
routed over separate areas of the plane. This keeps digital
signals away from sensitive analog signals and minimizes
the interaction between digital ground currents and the
analog section of the ground plane. The resistance from
the LTC2633 GND pin to the ground plane should be as
low as possible. Resistance here will add directly to the
effective DC output impedance of the device (typically
0.1Ω). Note that the LTC2633 is no more susceptible to
this effect than any other parts of this type; on the con-
trary, it allows layout-based performance improvements
to shine rather than limiting attainable performance with
excessive internal resistance.
Another technique for minimizing errors is to use a sepa-
rate power ground return trace on another board layer.
The trace should run between the point where the power
supply is connected to the board and the DAC ground pin.
Thus the DAC ground pin becomes the common point for
analog ground, digital ground, and power ground. When
the LTC2633 is sinking large currents, this current flows
out the ground pin and directly to the power ground trace
without affecting the analog ground plane voltage.
It is sometimes necessary to interrupt the ground plane
to confine digital ground currents to the digital portion of
the plane. When doing this, make the gap in the plane only
as long as it needs to be to serve its purpose and ensure
that no traces cross over the gap.
