1662 is an ultralow power, fully buffered volt-
age output, dual 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
Each DAC draws just 1.7碌A(chǔ) (typ) total supply-plus-
reference operating current, yet is capable of supplying
DC output currents in excess of 1mA and reliably driving
capacitive loads of up to 1000pF. A programmable Sleep
mode further reduces total operating current to a negli-
gible 0.05碌A(chǔ).
Linear Technology鈥檚 proprietary, inherently monotonic
voltage interpolation architecture provides excellent lin-
earity while allowing for an exceptionally small external
form factor. The double-buffered input logic provides
simultaneous update capability and can be used to write to
either DAC without interrupting Sleep mode.
With its ultralow operating current and exceptionally
small size, the LTC1662 is ideal for use in battery-
powered products.
The LTC1662 is pin- and software-compatible with the
LTC1661 micropower dual 10-bit DAC. It is available in
8-pin MSOP and PDIP packages and is specified over the
industrial temperature range.
