These DACs operate from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and are guaranteed monotonic over temperature. The LTC2641A-16/LTC2642A16 provide 16bit performance (1LSB INL and 1LSB DNL) over temperature. Unbuffered DAC outputs result in low supply current of 120A and a low offset error of 1LSB. Both the LTC2641 and LTC2642 feature a reference input range of 2V to VDD. VOUT swings from 0V to VREF . For bipolar operation, the LTC2642 includes matched scaling resistors for use with an external precision op amp (such as the LT1678), generating a VREF output swing at RFB. The LTC2641/LTC2642 use a simple SPI/MICROWIRE compatible 3-wire serial interface which can be operated at clock rates up to 50MHz and can interface directly with optocouplers for applications requiring isolation. A power-on reset circuit clears the LTC2641's DAC output to zero scale and the LTC2642's DAC output to midscale when power is initially applied. A logic low on the CLR pin asynchronously clears the DAC to zero scale (LTC2641) or midscale (LTC2642). These DACs are all specified over the commercial and industrial ranges.

They operate from a single supply ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, consuming 120A (typical). An external voltage reference of 2V to VDD determines the DAC's full-scale output voltage. A 3-wire serial interface allows the LTC2641/ LTC2642 to fit into a small 8-/10-pin MSOP or DFN 3mm x 3mm package. Digital-to-Analog Architecture The DAC architecture is a voltage switching mode resistor ladder using precision thin-film resistors and CMOS switches. The LTC2641/LTC2642 DAC resistor ladders are composed of a proprietary arrangement of matched DAC sections. The four MSBs are decoded to drive 15 equally weighted segments, and the remaining lower bits drive successively lower weighted sections. Major carry glitch impulse is very low at 500pV*sec, CL = 10pF, ten times lower than previous DACs of this type. k VOUT(IDEAL) = VREF 2N where k is the decimal equivalent of the binary DAC input code, N is the resolution, and VREF is between 2.0V and VDD (see Tables 1a, 1b and 1c). The LTC2642 includes matched resistors that are tied to an external amplifier to provide bipolar output swing (Figure 2). The bipolar transfer function at the RFB pin is: k VOUT _BIPOLAR(IDEAL) = VREF - 1 2N-1 (see Tables 2a, 2b and 2c). Serial Interface The LTC2641/LTC2642 communicates via a standard 3wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatible interface. The chip select input (CS) controls and frames the loading of serial data from the data input (DIN). Following a CS highto-low transition, the data on DIN is loaded, MSB first, into the shift register on each rising edge of the serial clock 26412fd For more information www.linear.com/LTC2641 11 LTC2641/LTC2642 OPERATION input (SCLK). After 16 data bits have been loaded into the serial input register, a low-to-high transition on CS transfers the data to the 16-bit DAC latch, updating the DAC output (see Figures 1a, 1b, 1c). While CS remains high, the serial input shift register is disabled. If there are less than 16 low-to-high transitions on SCLK while CS remains low, the data will be corrupted, and must be reloaded. Also, if there are more than 16 low-to-high transitions on SCLK while CS remains low, only the last 16 data bits loaded from DIN will be transferred to the DAC latch. For the 14-bit DACs, (LTC2641-14/LTC2642-14), the MSB remains in the same (left-justified) position in the input 16-bit data word. Therefore, two "don't-care" bits must be loaded after the LSB, to make up the required 16 data bits (Figure 1b). Similarly, for the 12-bit family members (LTC2641-12/LTC2642-12) four "don't-care" bits must follow the LSB (Figure 1c). Power-On Reset The LTC2641/LTC2642 include a power-on reset circuit to ensure that the DAC output comes up in a known state. When VDD is first applied, the power-on reset circuit sets the output of the LTC2641 to zero-scale (code 0). The LTC2642 powers up to midscale (bipolar zero). Depending on the DAC number of bits, the midscale code is: 32,768 (LTC2642-16); 8,192 (LTC2642-14); or 2,048 (LTC2642-12). Clearing the DAC A low pulse meeting the t9 (minimum) specification on the CLR pin asynchronously clears the DAC latch to code zero (LTC2641) or to midscale (LTC2642).

Unbuffered operation provides the lowest possible offset, full-scale and linearity errors, the fastest settling time and minimum power consumption. The settling time at the VOUT pin can be closely approximated by a single-pole response where: However, unbuffered operation requires that appropriate loading be maintained on the VOUT pin. The LTC2641/ LTC2642 VOUT can be modeled as an ideal voltage source in series with a source resistance of ROUT , typically 6.2k (Figure 4). The DAC's linear output impedance allows it to drive medium loads (RL > 60k) without degrading INL or DNL; only the gain error is increased. The gain error (GE) caused by a load resistance, RL, (relative to full scale) is: GE = -1 R 1+ OUT RL t = ROUT * (COUT + CL) (Figure 4). Settling to 1/2LSB at 16-bits requires about 12 time constants (ln(2 * 65,536)). The typical settling time of 1s corresponds to a time constant of 83ns, and a total (COUT + CL) of about 83ns/6.2k = 13pF . The internal capacitance, COUT is typically 10pF, so an external CL of 3pF corresponds to 1s settling to 1/2LSB. VREF LTC2641 LTC2642 + ( )- CODE VREF 2N REF ROUT VOUT COUT GND RL CL IL VOUT 0V TO VREF 26412 F04 In 16-bit LSBs: GE = Figure 4. VOUT Pin Equivalent Circuit -65536 LSB R OUT 1+ RL Op Amp Selection ROUT has a low tempco (typically < 50ppm/C), and is independent of DAC code. The variation of ROUT, part-topart, is typically less than 20%. Note on LSB units: For the following error descriptions, "LSB" means 16-bit LSB and 65,536 is rounded to 66k. To convert to 14-bit LSBs (LTC2641-14/LTC2642-14) divide by 4. To convert to 12-bit LSBs (LTC2641-12/LTC2642-12) divide by 16. A constant current, IL, loading VOUT will produce an offset of: VOFFSET = -IL * ROUT For VREF = 2.5V, a 16-bit LSB equals 2.5V/65,536, or 38V. Since ROUT is 6.2k, an IL of 6nA produces an offset of 1LSB. Therefore, to avoid degrading DAC performance, it is critical to protect the VOUT pin from any sources of leakage current. The optimal choice for an external buffer op amp depends on whether the DAC is used in the unipolar or bipolar mode of operation, and also depends on the accuracy, speed, power dissipation and board area requirements of the application. The LTC2641/LTC2642's combination of tiny package size, rail-to-rail single supply operation, low power dissipation, fast settling and nearly ideal accuracy specifications makes it impractical for one op amp type to fit every application. In bipolar mode (LTC2642 only), the amplifier operates with the internal resistors to provide bipolar offset and scaling. In this case, a precision amplifier operating from dual power supplies, such as the the LT1678 provides the VREF output range (Figure 3). In unipolar mode, the output amplifier operates as a unity gain voltage follower. For unipolar, single supply applications a precision, rail-to-rail input, single supply op amp 26412fd For more information www.linear.com/LTC2641 15 LTC2641/LTC2642 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION such as the LTC6078 is suitable, if the application does not require linear operation very near to GND, or zero scale (Figure 2). The LTC6078 typically swings to within 1mV of GND if it is not required to sink any load current. For an LSB size of 38V, 1mV represents 26 missing codes near zero scale. Linearity will be degraded over a somewhat larger range of codes above GND. It is also unavoidable that settling time and transient performance will degrade whenever a single supply amplifier is operated very close to GND, or to the positive supply rail. voltage temperature coefficient (referenced to 25C) of 0.6V/C will add 1LSB of zero-scale error. Also, IBIAS and the VOFFSET error it causes, will typically show significant relative variation over temperature. The small LSB size of a 16-bit DAC, coupled with the tight accuracy specifications on the LTC2641/LTC2642, means that the accuracy and input specifications for the external op amp are critical for overall DAC performance. Op amp input common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) is an input-referred error that corresponds to a combination of gain error (GE) and INL, depending on the op amp architecture and operating conditions. A conservative estimate of total CMRR error is: Op Amp Specifications and Unipolar DAC Accuracy Most op amp accuracy specifications convert easily to DAC accuracy. Op amp input bias current on the noninverting (+) input is equivalent to an IL loading the DAC VOUT pin and therefore produces a DAC zero-scale error (ZSE) (see Unbuffered Operation): ZSE = -IB(IN+) * ROUT [Volts] In 16-bit LSBs: 66k ZSE = -IB IN+ * 6.2k * LSB VREF ( ) Op amp input impedance, RIN, is equivalent to an RL loading the LTC2641/LTC2642 VOUT pin, and produces a gain error of: GE = -66k LSB 6.2k 1+ RIN Op amp offset voltage, VOS, corresponds directly to DAC zero code offset error, ZSE: ZSE = VOS * 66k [LSB] VREF Temperature effects also must be considered. Over the -40C to 85C industrial temperature range, an offset 16 Op amp open-loop gain, AVOL, contributes to DAC gain error (GE): GE = 66k [LSB] A VOL CMRR V Error = 10 20 * CMRR _RANGE * 66k LSB VREF where VCMRR_RANGE is the voltage range that CMRR (in dB) is specified over. Op amp Typical Performance Characteristics graphs are useful to predict the impact of CMRR errors on DAC performance. Typically, a precision op amp will exhibit a fairly linear CMRR behavior (corresponding to DAC gain error only) over most of the common mode input range (CMR), and become nonlinear and produce significant errors near the edge of the CMR. Rail-to-rail input op amps are a special case, because they have 2 distinct input stages, one with CMR to GND and the other with CMR to V+. This results in a "crossover" CM input region where operation switches between the two input stages. The LTC6078 rail-to-rail input op amp typically exhibits remarkably low crossover linearity error, as shown in the VOS vs VCM Typical Performance Characteristics graphs (see the LTC6078 data sheet). Crossover occurs at CM inputs about 1V below V+, and an LTC6078 operating as a unipolar DAC buffer with VREF = 2.5V and V+ = 5V will typically add only about 1LSB of GE and almost no INL error due to CMRR. Even in a full rail-to-rail application, with VREF = V+ = 5V, a typical LTC6078 will add only about 1LSB of INL at 16-bits. For more information www.linear.com/LTC2641 26412fd LTC2641/LTC2642 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Op Amp Specifications and Bipolar DAC Accuracy The op amp contributions to unipolar DAC error discussed above apply equally to bipolar operation. The bipolar application circuit gains up the DAC span, and all errors, by a factor of 2. Since the LSB size also doubles, the errors in LSBs are identical in unipolar and bipolar modes. One added error in bipolar mode comes from IB (IN-), which flows through RFB to generate an offset. The full bias current offset error becomes: VOFFSET = (IB (IN-) * RFB - IB (IN+) * ROUT * 2) [Volts] So: ( ) VOFFSET = IB (IN- ) * 28k - IB (IN+ ) * 12.4k * 33k [LSB] VREF Settling Time with Op Amp Buffer When using an external op amp, the output settling time will still include the single pole settling on the LTC2641/ LTC2642 VOUT node, with time constant ROUT * (COUT + CL) (see Unbuffered VOUT Settling Time). CL will include the buffer input capacitance and PC board interconnect capacitance. The external buffer amplifier adds another pole to the output response, with a time constant equal to (fbandwidth/2). For example, assume that CL is maintained at the same value as above, so that the VOUT node time constant is 83ns = 1s/12. The output amplifier pole will also have a time constant of 83ns if the closed-loop bandwidth equals (1/2 * 83ns) = 1.9MHz. The effective time constant of two cascaded single-pole sections is approximately the root square sum of the individual time constants, or 2 * 83ns = 117ns, and 1/2 LSB settling time will be ~12 * 117ns = 1.4s. This represents an ideal case, with no slew limiting and ideal op amp phase margin. In practice, it will take a considerably faster amplifier, as well as careful attention to maintaining good phase margin, to approach the unbuffered settling time of 1s. The output settling time for bipolar applications (Figure 3) will be somewhat increased due to the feedback resistor network RFB and RINV (each 28k nominal). The parasitic capacitance, CP, on the op amp (-) input node will introduce a feedback loop pole with a time constant of (CP * 28k/2). A small feedback capacitor, C1, should be included, to introduce a zero that will partially cancel this pole. C1 should nominally be <CP , typically in the range of 5pF to 10pF . This will restore the phase margin and improve coarse settling time, but a pole-zero doublet will unavoidably leave a slower settling tail, with a time constant of roughly (CP + C1) * 28k/2, which will limit 16-bit settling time to be greater than 2s. Reference and GND Input The LTC2641/LTC2642 operates with external voltage references from 2V to VDD, and linearity, offset and gain errors are virtually unchanged vs VREF . Full 16-bit performance can be maintained if appropriate guidelines are followed when selecting and applying the reference. The LTC2641/ LTC2642's very low gain error tempco of 0.1ppm/C, typical, corresponds to less than 0.5LSB variation over the -40C to 85C temperature range. In practice, this means that the overall gain error tempco will be determined almost entirely by the external reference tempco. The DAC voltage-switching mode "inverted" resistor ladder architecture used in the LTC2641/LTC2642 exhibits a reference input resistance (RREF) that is code dependent (see the Typical Performance curves IREF vs Input Code). In unipolar mode, the minimum RREF is 14.8k (at code 871Chex, 34,588 decimal) and the the maximum RREF is 300k at code 0000hex (zero scale). The maximum change in IREF for a 2.5V reference is 160A. Since the maximum occurs near midscale, the INL error is about one half of the change on VREF , so maintaining an INL error of <0.1LSB requires a reference load regulation of (1.53ppm * 2/160A) = 19 [ppm/mA]. This implies a reference output impedance of 48m, including series wiring resistance. To prevent output glitches from occurring when resistor ladder branches switch from GND to VREF , the reference input must maintain low impedance at higher frequencies. A 0.1F ceramic capacitor with short leads between REF and GND provides high frequency bypassing. A surface mount ceramic chip capacitor is preferred because it has the lowest inductance. An additional 1F between REF and GND provides low frequency bypassing. The circuit 26412fd For more information www.linear.com/LTC2641 17 LTC2641/LTC2642 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION will benefit from even higher bypass capacitance, as long as the external reference remains stable with the added capacitive loading. Digital Inputs and Interface Logic All of the digital inputs include Schmitt-trigger buffers to accept slow transition interfaces. This means that optocuplers can interface directly to the LTC2641/LTC2642 without additional external logic. Digital input hysteresis is typically 150mV. The digital inputs are compatible with TTL/CMOS-logic levels. However, rail-to-rail (CMOS) logic swings are preferred, because operating the logic inputs away from the supply rails generates additional IDD and GND current, (see Typical Performance Characteristic graph Supply Current vs Logic Input Voltage). Digital feedthrough is only 0.2nV*s typical, but it is always preferred to keep all logic inputs static except when loading a new code into the DAC. Board Layout for Precision Even a small amount of board leakage can degrade accuracy. The 6nA leakage current into VOUT needed to generate 1LSB offset error corresponds to 833M leakage resistance from a 5V supply. The VOUT node is relatively sensitive to capacitive noise coupling, so minimum trace length, appropriate shielding and clean board layout are imperative here. Temperature differences at the DAC, op amp or reference pins can easily generate tens of microvolts of thermocouple voltages. Analog signal traces should be short, close together and away from heat dissipating components. Air currents across the board can also generate thermocouples. 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. A "star ground" area should be established by attaching the LTC2641/LTC2642 GND pin, VREF GND and the DAC VOUT GND reference terminal to the same area on the GND plane. Care should be taken to ensure that no large GND return current paths flow through the "star GND" area. In particular, the resistance from the LTC2641 GND pin to the point where the VREF input source connects to the ground plane should be as low as possible. Excessive resistance here will be multiplied by the code dependent IREF current to produce an INL error similar to the error produced by VREF source resistance. For the LTC2641 in the S8 package both GND pins, Pin 2 and Pin 7 should be tied to the same GND plane. Sources of ground return current in the analog area include op amp power supply bypass capacitors and the GND connection for single supply amps. A useful technique for minimizing errors is to use a separate board layer for power ground return connections, and reserve one ground plane layer for low current "signal" GND connections. The "signal", or "star" GND plane must connected to the "power" GND plane at a single point, which should be located near the LTC2641/LTC2642 GND pin. If separate analog and digital ground areas exist it is necessary to connect them at a single location, which should be fairly close to the DAC for digital signal integrity. In some systems, large GND return currents can flow between the digital and analog GNDs, especially if different PC boards are involved. In such cases the digital and analog ground connection point should not be made right at the "star" GND area, so the highly sensitive analog signals are not corrupted. If forced to choose, always place analog ground quality ahead of digital signal ground. (A few mV of noise 26412fd 18 For more information www.linear.com/LTC2641 LTC2641/LTC2642 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION on the digital inputs is imperceptible, thanks to the digital input hysteresis) Just by maintaining separate areas on the GND plane where analog and digital return currents naturally flow, good results are generally achieved. Only after this has been done, it is sometimes useful to interrupt the ground plane with strategically placed "slots", to prevent the digital ground currents from fringing into the analog portion of the plane. When doing this, the gap in the plane should be only as long as it needs to be to serve its purpose. Caution: if a GND plane gap is improperly placed, so that it interrupts a significant GND return path, or if a signal traces crosses over the gap, then adding the gap may greatly degrade performance! In this case, the GND and signal return currents are forced to flow the long way around the gap, and then are typically channeled directly into the most sensitive area of the analog GND plane.
