The LTC®1595/LTC1596/LTC1596-1 are serial input, 16‑bit
multiplying current output DACs. The LTC1595 is pin and
hardware compatible with the 12-bit DAC8043 and comes
in 8-pin PDIP and SO packages. The LTC1596 is pin and
hardware compatible with the 12-bit DAC8143/AD7543
and comes in the 16-pin SO wide package.
nn
Both are specified over the industrial temperature range.
Sensitivity of INL to op amp VOS is reduced by five times
compared to the industry standard 12-bit DACs, so most
systems can be easily upgraded to true 16-bit resolution
and linearity without requiring more precise op amps.
These DACs include an internal deglitching circuit that
reduces the glitch impulse by more than ten times to less
than 1nV-s typ.
The DACs have a clear input and a power-on reset. The
LTC1595 and LTC1596 reset to zero-scale. The LTC1596‑1
is a version of the LTC1596 that resets to mid-scale.

PIN FUNCTIONS
LTC1595
VREF (Pin 1): Reference Input.
RFB (Pin 2): Feedback Resistor. Normally tied to the output
of the current to voltage converter op amp.
OUT1 (Pin 3): Current Output Pin. Tie to inverting input
of current to voltage converter op amp.
GND (Pin 4): Ground Pin.
LD (Pin 5): The Serial Interface Load Control Input. When
LD is pulled low, data is loaded from the shift register into
the DAC register, updating the DAC output.
SRI (Pin 6): The Serial Data Input. Data on the SRI pin
is latched into the shift register on the rising edge of the
serial clock. Data is loaded MSB first.
CLK (Pin 7): The Serial Interface Clock Input.
VDD (Pin 8): The Positive Supply Input. 4.5V ≤ VDD ≤ 5.5V.
Requires a bypass capacitor to ground.
LTC1596/LTC1596-1
OUT1 (Pin 1): True Current Output Pin. Tie to inverting
input of current to voltage converter op amp.
OUT2 (Pin 2): Complement Current Output Pin. Tie to
analog ground.
AGND (Pin 3): Analog Ground Pin.
STB1, STB2, STB3, STB4 (Pins 4, 8, 10, 11): Serial
Interface Clock Inputs. STB1, STB2 and STB4 are rising
edge triggered inputs. STB3 is a falling edge triggered
input (see Truth Tables).
LD1, LD2 (Pins 5, 9): Serial Interface Load Control Inputs.
When LD1 and LD2 are pulled low, data is loaded from
the shift register into the DAC register, updating the DAC
output (see Truth Tables).
SRO (Pin 6): The Output of the Shift Register. Becomes
valid on the active edge of the serial clock.
SRI (Pin 7): The Serial Data Input. Data on the SRI pin
is latched into the shift register on the active edge of the
serial clock. Data is loaded MSB first.
DGND (Pin 12): Digital Ground Pin.
CLR (Pin 13): The Clear Pin for the DAC. Clears DAC to
zero-scale when pulled low on LTC1596. Clears DAC to
mid-scale when pulled low on LTC1596-1. This pin should
be tied to VDD for normal operation.
VDD (Pin 14): The Positive Supply Input. 4.5V ≤ VDD ≤
5.5V. Requires a bypass capacitor to ground.
VREF (Pin 15): Reference Input.
RFB (Pin 16): Feedback Resistor. Normally tied to the
output of the current to voltage converter op amp.

LTC1595/LTC1596/LTC1596-1
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Description
The 16-pin LTC1596 can operate in identical fashion to
the LTC1595 but offers additional pins for flexibility. Four
clock pins are available STB1, STB2, STB3 and STB4. STB1,
STB2 and STB4 operate like the CLK pin of the LTC1595,
capturing data on their rising edges. STB3 captures data
on its falling edge (see Truth Table 1).
The LTC1595/LTC1596 are 16-bit multiplying DACs which
have serial inputs and current outputs. They use precision R/2R technology to provide exceptional linearity and
stability. The devices operate from a single 5V supply and
provide ±10V reference input and voltage output ranges
when used with an external op amp. These devices have
a proprietary deglitcher that reduces glitch impulse to
1nV-s over a 0V to 10V output range.
The LTC1596 has two load pins, LD1 and LD2. To load data,
both pins must be taken low. If one of the pins is grounded,
the other pin will operate identically to LTC1595’s LD pin.
An asynchronous clear input (CLR) resets the LTC1596 to
zero-scale (and the LTC1596-1 to mid-scale) when pulled
low (see Truth Table 2).
Serial I/O
The LTC1595/LTC1596 have SPI/MICROWIRE compatible
serial ports that accept 16-bit serial words. Data is accepted
MSB first and loaded with a load pin.
The LTC1596 also has a data output pin SRO that can be
connected to the SRI input of another DAC to daisy chain
multiple DACs on one 3-wire interface (see LTC1596
Timing Diagram).
The 8-pin LTC1595 has a 3-wire interface. Data is shifted
into the SRI data input on the rising edge of the CLK pin.
At the end of the data transfer, data is loaded into the DAC
register by pulling the LD pin low (see LTC1595 Timing
Diagram).

–10V TO 10V
Unipolar (2-Quadrant Multiplying) Mode
(VOUT = 0V to –VREF)
The LTC1595/LTC1596 can be used with a single op amp
to provide 2-quadrant multiplying operation as shown in
Figure 1. With a fixed –10V reference, the circuits shown
give a precision unipolar 0V to 10V output swing.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Bipolar (4-Quadrant Multiplying) Mode
(VOUT = – VREF to VREF)
The LTC1595/LTC1596 can be used with a dual op amp
and three external resistors to provide 4-quadrant multiplying operation as shown in Figure 2 (last page). With a
fixed 10V reference, the circuits shown give a precision
bipolar –10V to 10V output swing. Using the LTC1596-1
will cause the power-on reset and clear pin to reset the
DAC to mid-scale (bipolar zero).
Op Amp Selection
Because of the extremely high accuracy of the 16-bit
LTC1595/LTC1596, thought should be given to op amp
selection in order to achieve the exceptional performance
of which the part is capable. Fortunately, the sensitivity of
INL and DNL to op amp offset has been greatly reduced
compared to previous generations of multiplying DACs.
Op amp offset will contribute mostly to output offset and
gain and will have minimal effect on INL and DNL. For
example, a 500µV op amp offset will cause about 0.55LSB
INL degradation and 0.15LSB DNL degradation with a 10V
full-scale range. The main effects of op amp offset will
be a degradation of zero-scale error equal to the op amp
offset, and a degradation of full-scale error equal to twice
the op amp offset. For example, the same 500µV op amp
offset will cause a 3.3LSB zero-scale error and a 6.5LSB
full-scale error with a 10V full-scale range.
Op amp input bias current (IBIAS) contributes only a zeroscale error equal to IBIAS(RFB) = IBIAS(RREF) = IBIAS(7k).
Table 2 shows a selection of LTC op amps which are
suitable for use with the LTC1595/LTC1596. For a thorough discussion of 16-bit DAC settling time and op amp
selection, refer to Application Note 74, “Component and
Measurement Advances Ensure 16-Bit DAC Settling Time. ”
Grounding
As with any high resolution converter, clean grounding
is important. A low impedance analog ground plane and
star grounding should be used. IOUT2 (LTC1596) and GND
(LTC1595) must be tied to the star ground with as low a
resistance as possible.
