The LTC®2631 is a family of 12-, 10-, and 8-bit voltageoutput DACs with an integrated, high accuracy, low-drift
reference in an 8-lead TSOT-23 package. It has a rail-torail output buffer that is guaranteed monotonic.
nn
The LTC2631-L has a full-scale output of 2.5V, and operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply. The LTC2631-H
has a full-scale output of 4.096V, and operates from a
4.5V to 5.5V supply. A 10ppm/°C reference output is available at the REF pin.
Each DAC can also operate in External Reference mode,
in which a voltage supplied to the REF pin sets the fullscale output.
The LTC2631 DACs use a 2-wire, I2C-compatible serial
interface. The LTC2631 operates in both the standard
mode (clock rate of 100kHz) and the fast mode (clock
rate of 400kHz).
Applications
The LTC2631 incorporates a power-on reset circuit.
Op-tions are available for reset to zero-scale or reset to
mid-scale after power-up.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: All voltages are with respect to GND.
Note 3: Linearity and monotonicity are defined from code kL to code
2N – 1, where N is the resolution and kL is given by kL = 0.016 • (2N/ VFS),
rounded to the nearest whole code. For VFS = 2.5V and N = 12, kL = 26 and
linearity is defined from code 26 to code 4,095. For VFS = 4.096V and
N = 12, kL = 16 and linearity is defined from code 16 to code 4,095.
Note 4: Inferred from measurement at code 16 (LTC2631-12), code 4
(LTC2631-10) or code 1 (LTC2631-8), and at full-scale.
Note 5: This IC includes current limiting that is intended to protect the
device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature can
exceed the rated maximum during current limiting. Continuous operation
above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair
device reliability.

Note 6: Digital inputs at 0V or VCC.
Note 7: Guaranteed by design and not production tested.
Note 8: Internal Reference mode. DAC is stepped 1/4 scale to 3/4 scale
and 3/4 scale to 1/4 scale. Load is 2kΩ in parallel with 100pF to GND.
Note 9: Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
Note 10: Maximum VIH = VCC(MAX) + 0.5V
Note 11: CB = capacitance of one bus line in pF
Note 12: All values refer to VIH = VIH(MIN) and VIL = VIL(MAX) levels.
Note 13: Minimum VIL exceeds the Absolute Maximum rating. This
condition won’t damage the IC, but could degrade performance.
Note 14: Full-scale error is determined using the reference voltage
measured at the REF pin.

LTC2631
Pin Functions
CA0 (Pin 1): Chip Address Bit 0. Tie this pin to VCC, GND
or leave it floating to select an I2C slave address for the
part (see Tables 1 and 2).
SCL (Pin 2): Serial Clock Input Pin. Data is shifted into the
SDA pin at the rising edges of the clock. This high impedance pin requires a pull-up resistor or current source to
VCC.
SDA (Pin 3): Serial Data Bidirectional Pin. Data is shifted
into the SDA pin and acknowledged by the SDA pin. This
pin is high impedance while data is shifted in. Open-drain
N-channel output during acknowledgment. SDA requires
a pull-up resistor or current source to VCC.
GND (Pin 4): Ground.
VCC (Pin 5): Supply Voltage Input. 2.7V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V
(LTC2631-L) or 4.5V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V (LTC2631-H). Bypass
to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
REF (Pin 6): Reference Voltage Input or Output. When
External Reference mode is selected, REF is an input (0V
≤ VREF ≤ VCC) where the voltage supplied sets the fullscale voltage. When Internal Reference is selected, the
10ppm/°C 1.25V (LTC2631-L) or 2.048V (LTC2631-H)
internal reference is available at the pin. This output may
be bypassed to GND with up to 10µF (0.33µF is recommended), and must be buffered when driving external DC
load current.
VOUT (Pin 7): DAC Analog Voltage Output.
CA1 (Pin 8, LTC2631-Z): Chip Address Bit 1. Tie this
pin to VCC, GND or leave it floating to select an I2C slave
address for the part (see Table 1).
REF_SEL (Pin 8, LTC2631-M): Selects default Reference
at power up. Tie to VCC to select the Internal Reference,
or GND to select an External Reference. After power-up,
the logic state at this pin is ignored and the reference may
be changed only by software command.

LTC2631
Operation
The LTC2631 is a family of single voltage-output DACs
in 8-lead ThinSOT packages. Each DAC can operate railto-rail using an external reference, or with its full-scale
voltage set by an integrated reference. Twelve combinations of accuracy (12-, 10-, and 8-bit), power-on reset
value (zero or mid-scale), and full-scale voltage (2.5V or
4.096V) are available. The LTC2631 is controlled using a
2-wire I2C interface.
Power-On Reset
The LTC2631-HZ/LTC2631-LZ clear the output to zeroscale when power is first applied, making system initialization consistent and repeatable.
For some applications, downstream circuits are active
during DAC power-up, and may be sensitive to nonzero
outputs from the DAC during this time. The LTC2631 contains circuitry to reduce the power-on glitch: the analog
output typically rises less than 5mV above zero-scale during power on if the power supply is ramped to 5V in 1ms
or more. In general, the glitch amplitude decreases as
the power supply ramp time is increased. See “Power-On
Reset Glitch” in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section.
The LTC2631-HM/LTC2631-LM provide an alternative
reset, setting the output to mid-scale when power is first
applied.
Default reference mode selection is described in the Reference Modes section.
Power Supply Sequencing
The voltage at REF (Pin 6) should be kept within the
range – 0.3V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC + 0.3V (see Absolute Maximum
Ratings). Particular care should be taken to observe
these limits during power supply turn-on and turn-off
sequences, when the voltage at VCC (Pin 5) is in transition.
Transfer Function
The digital-to-analog transfer function is
⎛k ⎞
VOUT(IDEAL) = ⎜ N ⎟ VREF
⎝2 ⎠
20
where k is the decimal equivalent of the binary DAC
input code, N is the resolution, and VREF is either 2.5V
(LTC2631-LM/LTC2631-LZ) or 4.096V (LTC2631-HM/
LTC2631-HZ) when in Internal Reference mode, and the
voltage at REF (Pin 6) when in External Reference mode.
I2C Serial Interface
The LTC2631 communicates with a host using the standard 2-wire I2C interface. The Timing Diagrams (Figures 1
and 2) show the timing relationship of the signals on the
bus. The two bus lines, SDA and SCL, must be high when
the bus is not in use. External pull-up resistors or current
sources are required on these lines. The value of these
pull-up resistors is dependent on the power supply and
can be obtained from the I2C specifications. For an I2C
bus operating in the fast mode, an active pull-up will be
necessary if the bus capacitance is greater than 200pF.
The LTC2631 is a receive-only (slave) device. The master
can write to the LTC2631. The LTC2631 does not respond
to a read from the master.
START (S) and STOP (P) Conditions
When the bus is not in use, both SCL and SDA must be
high. A bus master signals the beginning of a communication to a slave device by transmitting a START condition. A START condition is generated by transitioning SDA
from high to low while SCL is high.
When the master has finished communicating with the
slave, it issues a STOP condition. A STOP condition is
generated by transitioning SDA from low to high while
SCL is high. The bus is then free for communication with
another I2C device.
Acknowledge
The Acknowledge signal is used for handshaking between
the master and the slave. An Acknowledge (active LOW)
generated by the slave lets the master know that the
latest byte of information was properly received. The
Acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the master. The master releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the
Acknowledge clock pulse. The slave-receiver must pull
down the SDA bus line during the Acknowledge clock

operation
pulse so that it remains a stable LOW during the HIGH
period of this clock pulse. The LTC2631 responds to a
write by a master in this manner but does not acknowledge a read operation; in that case, SDA is retained HIGH
during the period of the Acknowledge clock pulse.

another address is required, please consult the factory.
Chip Address
Write Word Protocol
The state of pins CA0 and CA1 (LTC2631-HZ/LTC2631-LZ)
determines the slave address of the part. These pins can
each be set to any one of three states: VCC, GND or float.
This results in nine (LTC2631-HZ/LTC2631-LZ) or three
(LTC2631-HM/LTC2631-LM) selectable addresses for the
part. The slave address assignments are shown in Tables
1 and 2.

In addition to the address selected by the address pins,
the part also responds to a global address. This address
allows a common write to all LTC2631 parts to be accomplished using one 3-byte write transaction on the I2C bus.
The global address, listed at the end of Tables 1 and 2, is
The maximum capacitive load allowed on the CA0/CA1
address pins is 10pF, as these pins are driven during address detection to determine if they are floating.
The master initiates communication with the LTC2631
with a START condition and a 7-bit slave address followed
by the Write bit (W) = 0. The LTC2631 acknowledges by
pulling the SDA pin low at the ninth clock if the 7-bit slave
address matches the address of the part (set by CA0/CA1)
or the global address. The master then transmits 3-bytes
of data. The LTC2631 acknowledges each byte of data by
pulling the SDA line low at the ninth clock of each data
byte transmission. After receiving three complete bytes
of data, the LTC2631 executes the command specified in
the 24-bit input word.
If more than three data bytes are transmitted after a valid
7-bit slave address, the LTC2631 does not acknowledge
the extra bytes of data (SDA is high during the 9th clock).
The format of the three data bytes is shown in Figure 3. The
first byte of the input word consists of the 4-bit command,
followed by four don’t-cares bits. The next two bytes contain the 16-bit data word, which consists of the 12-, 10- or
8-bit input code, MSB to LSB, followed by 4, 6 or 8 don’tcares bits (LTC2631-12, LTC2631-10 and LTC2631-8
respectively). A typical LTC2631 write transaction is
shown in Figure 4.
The command bit assignments (C3-C0) are shown in
Table 3. The first four commands in the table consist of
write and update operations. A write operation loads a
16-bit data word from the 32-bit shift register into the
input register. In an update operation, the data word is
copied from the input register to the DAC register and
converted to an analog voltage at the DAC output. The
update operation also powers up the DAC if it had been in
power-down mode. The data path and registers are shown
in the Block Diagram.

Reference Modes
For applications where an accurate external reference is
not available, the LTC2631 has a user-selectable, integrated reference. The LTC2631-LM/LTC2631-LZ provide
a full-scale output of 2.5V. The LTC2631-HM/LTC2631-HZ
provide a full-scale output of 4.096V. The internal reference can be useful in applications where the supply
voltage is poorly regulated. Internal Reference mode can
be selected by using command 0110, and is the poweron default for LTC2631-HZ/LTC2631-LZ, as well as for
LTC2631-HM/LTC2631-LM when REF_SEL is tied high.
The 10ppm/°C, 1.25V (LTC2631-LM/LTC2631-LZ) or
2.048V (LTC2631-HM/LTC2631-HZ) internal reference
is available at the REF pin. Adding bypass capacitance
22
Alternatively, the DAC can operate in External Reference
mode using command 0111. In this mode, an input voltage
supplied externally to the REF pin provides the reference
(0V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC) and the supply current is reduced.
External Reference mode is the power-on default for
LTC2631-HM/LTC2631-LM when REF_SEL is tied low.
The reference mode of LTC2631-HZ/LTC2631-LZ can be
changed only by software command. The same is true for
LTC2631-HM/LTC2631-LM after power-on, after which
the logic state on REF_SEL is ignored.
Power-Down Mode
For power-constrained applications, the LTC2631’s
power-down mode can be used to reduce the supply
current whenever the DAC output is not needed. When in
power down, the buffer amplifier, bias circuit, and reference circuit are disabled and draw essentially zero current.
The DAC output is put into a high-impedance state, and
the output pin is passively pulled to ground through a
200kΩ resistor. Input and DAC register contents are not
disturbed during power down.
2631fd

LTC2631
operation
The DAC can be put into power-down mode by using
command 0100. The supply current is reduced to 1.8µA
maximum (C and I grades) and the REF pin becomes high
impedance (typically > 1GΩ).
Normal operation resumes after executing any command
that includes a DAC update, as shown in Table 3. The DAC
is powered up and its voltage output is updated. Normal
settling is delayed while the bias, reference, and amplifier circuits are re-enabled. When the REF pin output is
bypassed to GND with 1nF or less, the power-up delay
time is 20µs for settling to 12-bits. This delay increases
to 200µs for 0.33µF, and 10ms for 10µF.
Voltage Output
The LTC2631’s integrated rail-to-rail amplifier has guaranteed load regulation when sourcing or sinking up to
10mA at 5V, and 5mA at 3V.
Load regulation is a measure of the amplifier’s ability to
maintain the rated voltage accuracy over a wide range of
load current. The measured change in output voltage per
change in forced load current is expressed in LSB/mA.
DC output impedance is equivalent to load regulation, and
may be derived from it by simply calculating a change in
units from LSB/mA to ohms. The amplifier’s DC output
impedance is 0.1Ω when driving a load well away from
the rails.
When drawing a load current from either rail, the output
voltage headroom with respect to that rail is limited by
the 50Ω typical channel resistance of the output devices
(e.g., when sinking 1mA, the minimum output voltage is
50Ω • 1mA, or 50mV). See the graph “Headroom at Rails
vs. Output Current” in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
The amplifier is stable driving capacitive loads of up to
500pF.
Rail-to-Rail Output Considerations
In any rail-to-rail voltage-output device, the output is limited to voltages within the supply range.
Since the analog output of the DAC cannot go below ground,
it may limit the lowest codes, as shown in Figure 5b.
Similarly, limiting can occur near full-scale when the REF
pin is tied to VCC. If VREF = VCC and the DAC full-scale error
(FSE) is positive, the output for the highest codes limits
at VCC , as shown in Figure 5c. No full-scale limiting can
occur if VREF is less than VCC – FSE.
Offset and linearity are defined and tested over the region
of the DAC transfer function where no output limiting can
occur.
Board Layout
The PC board should have separate areas for the analog
and digital sections of the circuit. A single, solid ground
plane should be used, with analog and digital signals carefully routed over separate areas of the plane. This keeps
digital signals away from sensitive analog signals and
minimizes the interaction between digital ground currents
and the analog section of the ground plane. The resistance
from the LTC2631 GND pin to the ground plane should
be as low as possible. Resistance here will add directly to
the effective DC output impedance of the device (typically
0.1Ω). Note that the LTC2631 is no more susceptible to
this effect than any other parts of this type; on the contrary, it allows layout-based performance improvements
to shine rather than limiting attainable performance with
excessive internal resistance.
Another technique for minimizing errors is to use a separate power ground return trace on another board layer.
The trace should run between the point where the power
supply is connected to the board and the DAC ground pin.
Thus the DAC ground pin becomes the common point for
analog ground, digital ground, and power ground. When
the LTC2631 is sinking large currents, this current flows
out the ground pin and directly to the power ground trace
without affecting the analog ground plane voltage.
It is sometimes necessary to interrupt the ground plane
to confine digital ground currents to the digital portion of
the plane. When doing this, make the gap in the plane only
as long as it needs to be to serve its purpose and ensure
that no traces cross over the gap.
