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.

range, otherwise specifications are at TA = 25°C. VCC = 4.5V to 5.5V. (See Figure 1) (Note 13)

LTC2633-HI12/-HI10/-HI8/-HZ12/-HZ10/-HZ8/LTC2633A-HI12/-HZ12 (VFS = 4.096V)

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. High temperatures degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime

is derated at temperatures greater than 105°C.

Note 4. 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 5. Inferred from measurement at code 16 (LTC2633-12), code 4

(LTC2633-10) or code 1 (LTC2633-8), and at full scale.

Note 6. 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 7. Digital inputs at 0V or VCC.

Note 8. Guaranteed by design and not production tested.

Note 9. 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 10. Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum

change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.

Note 11. Maximum VIH = VCC(MAX) + 0.5V

Note 12. CB = capacitance of one bus line in pF

Note 13. All values refer to VIH = VIH(MIN) and VIL = VIL(MAX) levels.

Note 14. 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

2NVREF

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

2633fb

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).

LTC2633

2633fb

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

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.
