LTC1596-1CCN#PBF

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The LTC1596-1CCN#PBF is a serial input, 16-bit multiplying digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices. It features a current output architecture with an internal R-2R ladder network and operates from a single 5V supply. The device provides true 16-bit resolution with maximum integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB over the industrial temperature range. Key electrical specifications include a typical settling time of 1µs to 0.0015% and a low glitch impulse of 1nV-s. The part includes an asynchronous clear input that resets the DAC to mid-scale upon activation.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• 16-bit resolution with ±1 LSB max INL and DNL
• Asynchronous clear input resets DAC to mid-scale
• Internal deglitching circuit reduces glitch impulse to <1nV-s typ
• 3-Wire SPI and MICROWIRE compatible serial interface

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Process control and industrial automation
• Software controlled gain adjustment
• Digitally controlled filter and power supplies
• Automatic test equipment

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the package type corresponds to the 'CN' suffix, which indicates an 8-lead PDIP housing. Confirm the operating temperature range matches the 'C' suffix specification of 0°C to 70°C. Ensure the '#PBF' designation aligns with lead-free finish requirements for the target assembly process.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when mid-scale reset behavior is required during power-on or clear events, distinguishing it from the standard LTC1596 which resets to zero-scale. Verify that the external operational amplifier selected can support the required settling time and offset characteristics to maintain 16-bit accuracy. Check if the 8-pin PDIP package fits the board layout constraints compared to the 16-pin wide SOIC option.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the LTC1595/LTC1596 family of serial multiplying DACs. The LTC1596-1 variant is specifically designed to reset to mid-scale, making it suitable for bipolar applications where a zero-volt output corresponds to the digital mid-code. It maintains pin compatibility with industry-standard 12-bit DACs like the DAC8143 and AD7543 in terms of hardware interface logic.
