The LTC
廬
1664 integrates four accurate, serially addres-
sable 10-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) in a tiny
16-pin Narrow SSOP package. Each buffered DAC draws
just 59碌A(chǔ) total supply current, yet is capable of supplying
DC output currents in excess of 5mA and reliably driving
capacitive loads of up to 1000pF. Sleep mode further
reduces total supply current to 1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.
Ultralow supply current, power-saving Sleep mode and
extremely compact size make the LTC1664 ideal for
battery-powered applications, while its ease of use, high
performance and wide supply range make it an excellent
choice as a general purpose converter.
