LTC2654:
Quad 16-Bit/12-Bit Rail-To-Rail SPI DACs
with 10ppm/°C Max Reference
Demonstration circuit 1678A features the LTC2654 Quad
16-bit/12-bit DAC. The LTC2654 is a family of 16-bit/12-bit
rail-to-rail DACs with integrated 10ppm/°C maximum
reference. The LTC2654 advances performance standards

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Figure 1. Demo Board Setup
Connect the DC1678A to a DC590 USB serial controller
using the supplied 14 conductor ribbon cable. Connect the
DC590 to a host PC with a standard USB A/B cable. Run
the QuikEval evaluation software supplied with the DC590
or download it from www.linear.com. The correct control
panel will be loaded automatically. To update DAC value,
fill in corresponding text box.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
HARDWARE SET-UP
Jumpers
REF – VREF Select. This jumper selects which mode the
LTC2654 powers up in: External reference (EXT) or Internal
reference (INT).
PORSEL – Power Up Mode. The LTC2654 can be set to
either power up in Mid Scale or Zero Scale.
Analog Connections
DAC outputs – The 4 DAC outputs from the LTC2654 are
brought out to turrets labeled VOUTA through VOUTD.
These may be connected to external instruments or other
circuitry.
NOTE: DAC outputs are not in alphabetical order on the
circuit board.
VREF – The VREF turret is connected directly to the refer-
ence terminals of the LTC2654. The on-chip reference may
be turned off, allowing the DAC reference pin to be driven
from this turret. Alternatively, when the on-chip reference
is on and active, the voltage can be monitored at this turret.
V+ – Unregulated 10V is present here when a DC590 is
connected. This turret is provided for monitoring purposes
only and should not be connected to any other turrets on
the board.
Grounding and Power Connections
Power (VCC) – Normally the DC1678A is powered by
the DC590 controller. VCC can be supplied to this turret,
however the power supply on DC590 must be disabled.
Refer to DC590 Quick Start Guide for more details on this
mode of operation.
Grounding – There are 3 ground turrets provided (labeled
GND), as well as ground strips on the top and the bottom
of the board.
