The LTC®2757 is an 18-bit multiplying parallel-input,
current-output digital-to-analog converter that provides
full 18-bit performance—INL and DNL of ±1LSB maximum—over temperature without any adjustments. 18-bit
monotonicity is guaranteed in all performance grades. This
SoftSpan™ DAC operates from a single 3V to 5V supply
and offers six output ranges (up to ±10V) that can be
programmed through the parallel interface or pin-strapped
for operation in a single range.

In addition to its precision DC specifications, the LTC2757
also offers excellent AC specifications, including 2.1µs
full-scale settling to 1LSB and 1.4nV • s glitch impulse.
The LTC2757 uses a bidirectional input/output parallel
interface that allows readback of any on-chip register,
including DAC output-range settings; and a CLR pin and
power-on reset circuit that each reset the DAC output to
0V regardless of output range.

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: Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 3: Temperature Coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in the parameter by the specified temperature range.
Note 4: R1 is measured from RIN to RCOM ; R2 is measured from REF to
RCOM .
Note 5: Parallel combination of the resistances from REF to IOUT1 and from
REF to IOUT2. DAC input resistance is independent of code.
Note 6: Because of the proprietary SoftSpan switching architecture, the
measured resistance looking into each of the specified pins is constant for
all output ranges if the IOUT1 and IOUT2 pins are held at ground.
Note 7: Using LT1468 with CFEEDBACK = 27pF. A ±0.0004% settling time
of 1.8μs can be achieved by optimizing the time constant on an individual
basis. See Application Note 120, 1ppm Settling Time Measurement for a
Monolithic 18-Bit DAC.
Note 8: Measured at the major carry transition, 0V to 5V range. Output
amplifier: LT1468; CFB = 50pF.
Note 9: Zero-code to full-code transition; REF = 0V. Falling transition is
similar or better.
Note 10: REF = 6VRMS at 1kHz. 0V to 5V range. DAC code = FS. Output
amplifier = LT1468.
Note 11: Calculation from Vn = √4kTRB, where k = 1.38E-23 J/°K
(Boltzmann constant), R = resistance (W), T = temperature (°K), and B =
bandwidth (Hz).
Note 12: Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.

Pin Functions
RIN (Pins 1, 2): Input Resistor for External Reference
Inverting Amplifier. Normally tied to the external reference
voltage. Typically 5V; accepts up to ±15V. These pins are
internally shorted together.
S2 (Pin 3): Span I/O Bit 2. Pins S0, S1 and S2 are used
to program and to read back the output range of the DAC.
See Table 2.
GND (Pins 4, 7, 18, 19): Ground. Tie to ground.
IOUT2S, IOUT2F (Pins 5, 6): DAC Output Current Complement Sense and Force Pins. Tie to ground via a clean,
low-impedance path. These pins may also be used with
a precision ground buffer amp as a Kelvin sensing pair
(see the Typical Applications section).
D17-D9 (Pins 8-16): DAC Input/Output Data Bits. These
I/O pins set and read back the DAC code. D17 (Pin 8) is
the MSB.
VDD (Pin 17): Positive Supply Input. 2.7V ≤ VDD ≤ 5.5V.
Requires a 0.1μF bypass capacitor to GND.
CLR (Pin 20): Asynchronous Clear Input. When CLR is
asserted low, the DAC output resets to VOUT = 0V. The
LTC2757 selects the appropriate reset code according to
the active output range—zero-scale for 0V to 5V and 0V
to 10V spans, half scale for ±2.5V, ±5V and ±10V spans,
or quarter scale for –2.5V to 7.5V span.
M-SPAN (Pin 21): Manual Span Control Input. M-SPAN
can be pin-strapped to configure the LTC2757 for operation in a single, fixed output range.
DNC (Pins 22, 32): Do Not Connect.
D8-D0 (Pins 23-31): DAC Input/Output Data Bits. These
I/O pins set and read back the DAC code. D0 is the LSB.
D/S (Pin 33): Data/Span Select Input. This pin is used to
select activation of the Data (D/S = 0) or Span (D/S = 1)
Input I/O pins (D0 to D17 or S0 to S2, respectively),
along with their respective dedicated registers, for Write
or Read operations. Update operations are unaffected by
D/S, since all updates affect both Data and Span registers.
For single-span operation, tie D/S to GND.
READ (Pin 34): Read Input. When READ is asserted high,
the Data I/O pins (D0-D17) or Span I/O pins (S0-S2) output
the contents of a selected Input or DAC register (see Table
1). Data/Span ports are selected for readback with the D/S
pin; the Input/DAC registers within those ports are selected
for readback with the UPD pin. The readback function of
the Span I/O pins is disabled when M-SPAN is tied to VDD.
UPD (Pin 35): Update/Register Select Input.
READ = low: Update function. When UPD is asserted
high, the contents of the Input registers are copied into
their respective DAC registers. The output of the DAC is
updated, reflecting the new DAC register values.
READ = high: Register selector function. The Update function is disabled and the UPD pin functions as a register
selector. UPD = low selects Input registers for readback,
high selects DAC registers. See Readback in the Operation section.
To configure the part for single-span use, tie M-SPAN
directly to VDD. The output range is then set via hardware
pin strapping; and the Span I/O port ignores Write, Update
and Read commands.
WR (Pin 36): Active-Low Write Input. A Write operation
copies the data present on the Data or Span I/O pins (D0D17 or S0-S2, respectively) into the Input register. The
Write function is disabled when READ is high.
If M-SPAN is instead connected to ground (SoftSpan
configuration), the output ranges are set and verified by
using Write, Update and Read operations. See Manual
Span Configuration in the Operation section. M-SPAN
must be connected either directly to GND (for SoftSpan
operation) or VDD (for single-span operation).
S1 (Pin 38): Span I/O Bit 1. Pins S0, S1 and S2 are used
to program and to read back the output range of the DAC.
See Table 2.
8
S0 (Pin 37): Span I/O Bit 0. Pins S0, S1 and S2 are used
to program and to read back the output range of the DAC.
See Table 2.

Pin Functions
VOSADJ (Pin 39): DAC Offset Adjust Pin. This voltage-control
pin can be used to null unipolar offset or bipolar zero error.
The offset change expressed in LSB is the same for any
output range. See System Offset and Gain Adjustments in
the Operation section. Tie to ground if not used.
REF (Pins 45, 46): Feedback Resistor for the Reference
Inverting Amplifier, and Reference Input for the DAC.
Normally tied to the output of the reference inverting
amplifier. Typically –5V; accepts up to ±15V. These pins
are internally shorted together.
IOUT1 (Pin 40): DAC current output; normally tied to the
negative input (summing junction) of the I/V converter
amplifier.
RCOM (Pin 47): Center Tap Point of RIN and REF. Normally
tied to the negative input of the external reference inverting amplifier.
RFB (Pins 41, 42): DAC Feedback Resistor. Normally tied
to the output of the I/V converter amplifier. The DAC output
current from IOUT1 flows through the feedback resistor to
the RFB pins. These pins are internally shorted together.
GEADJ (Pin 48): Gain Adjust Pin. This voltage-control
pin can be used to null gain error or to compensate for
reference errors. The gain error change expressed in LSB
is the same for any output range. See System Offset and
Gain Adjustments in the Operation section. Tie to ground
if not used.
ROFS (Pins 43, 44): Bipolar Offset Network. These pins
provide the translation of the output voltage range for
bipolar spans. Accepts up to ±15V; normally tied to the
positive reference voltage. These pins are internally shorted
together.

LTC2757
Operation
Output Ranges
The LTC2757 is a current-output, parallel-input precision multiplying DAC offering ±1LSB INL and DNL over
six software-selectable output ranges. Ranges can either
be programmed in software for maximum flexibility or
hardwired through pin-strapping. Two unipolar ranges are
available (0V to 5V and 0V to 10V), and four bipolar ranges
(±2.5V, ±5V, ±10V and –2.5V to 7.5V). These ranges are
obtained when an external precision 5V reference is used.
The output ranges for other reference voltages are easy
to calculate by observing that each range is a multiple
of the external reference voltage. The ranges can then
be expressed: 0 to 1×, 0 to 2×, ±0.5×, ±1×, ±2×, and
–0.5× to 1.5×.
Digital Section
The LTC2757 has four internal interface registers (see
Block Diagram). Two of these—one Input and one DAC
register—are dedicated to the Data I/O port, and two
to the Span I/O port. Each port is thus double buffered.
Double buffering provides the capability to simultaneously
update the Span and Code registers, which allows smooth
voltage transitions when changing output ranges. It also
permits the simultaneous updating of multiple DACs or
other parts on the data bus.
Write and Update Operations
Load the data input register directly from an 18-bit bus
by holding the D/S pin low and then pulsing the WR pin
low (Write operation).
Load the Span Input register by holding the D/S pin high
and then pulsing the WR pin low (Write operation). The
Span and Data register structures are the same except for
the number of parallel bits—the Span registers have three
bits, while the Data registers have 18 bits.
The DAC registers are loaded by pulsing the UPD pin
high (Update operation), which copies the data held in
the Input registers of both ports into the DAC registers.
Note that Update operations always include both Data
and Span registers; but the DAC register values will not
change unless the Input register values have previously
been changed by a Write operation.
To make both registers transparent for flowthrough
mode, tie WR low and UPD high. However, this defeats
the deglitcher operation and output glitch impulse may
increase. The deglitcher is activated on the rising edge
of the UPD pin.
The interface also allows the use of the Input and DAC
registers in a master-slave, or edge-triggered, configuration. This mode of operation occurs when WR and UPD
are tied together and driven by a single clock signal. The
data bits are loaded into the Input register on the falling
edge of the clock and then loaded into the DAC register
on the rising edge.
It is possible to control both ports on one 18-bit wide
data bus by allowing Span pins S2 to S0 to share bus
lines with the Data LSBs (D2 to D0). No Write or Read
operation acts on both span and data, so there cannot be
a signal conflict.
The asynchronous clear pin (CLR) resets the LTC2757
to 0V (zero-, half- or quarter-scale code) in any output
range. CLR resets both the Input and DAC data registers,
but leaves the Span registers unchanged.
The device also has a power-on reset that initializes the DAC
to VOUT = 0V in any output range. The DAC powers up in
the 0V to 5V range at zero-scale if the part is in SoftSpan
configuration. For manual span (M-SPAN tied to VDD; see
Manual Span Configuration), the DACs power-up in the
manually-chosen range at the appropriate code.
Manual Span Configuration
Multiple output ranges are not needed in some applications. To configure the LTC2757 for single-span operation, tie the M-SPAN pin to VDD and the D/S pin to GND.
The desired output range is programmed by tying S0,
S1 and S2 to GND or VDD (see Figure 1 and Table 2). In
this configuration, no range-setting software routine is
needed; the part will initialize to the chosen output range
at power-up, with VOUT = 0V.
When configured for manual span operation, Span port
readback is disabled.

LTC2757
Operation
Readback
The contents of any one of the four interface registers can
be read back from the I/O ports by using the READ pin in
conjunction with the D/S and UPD pins.
The I/O pins and registers are grouped into two ports—Data
and Span. The Data I/O port consists of pins D0-D17, and
the Span I/O port consists of pins S0, S1 and S2.
Each I/O port has one dedicated Input register and one
dedicated DAC register. The register structure is shown
in the Block Diagram.
A Readback operation is initiated by asserting READ to
logic high after selecting the desired I/O port.
The most common readback task is to check the contents
of an Input register after writing to it, and before updating
the new data to the DAC register. To do this, hold UPD low
and assert READ high. The contents of the selected port’s
Input register are output to its I/O pins.
To read back the contents of a DAC register, hold UPD low
and assert READ high, then bring UPD high to select the
DAC register. The contents of the selected DAC register are
output by the selected port’s I/O pins. Note: if no update
is desired after the readback operation, UPD must be returned low before bringing READ low, otherwise the UPD
pin will revert to its primary function and update the DAC.
Table 2. Span Codes
Select the I/O port (Data or Span) to be read back with
the D/S pin. The selected I/O port’s pins become logic
outputs during readback, while the unselected I/O port’s
pins remain high-impedance digital inputs.

as a register selector, selecting an Input or DAC register
for readback. Table 1 shows the readback functions for

System Offset and Gain Adjustments
Many systems require compensation for overall system
offset. This may be an order of magnitude or more greater
than the offset of the LTC2757, which is so low as to be
dominated by external output amplifier errors even when
using the most precise op amps.

operation
The offset adjust pin VOSADJ can be used to null unipolar
offset or bipolar zero error. The offset change expressed
in LSB is the same for any output range:
∆VOS [LSB] =
–V(VOSADJ )
• 2048
V(RIN )
A 5V control voltage applied to VOSADJ produces ∆VOS =
–2048 LSB in any output range, assuming a 5V reference
voltage at RIN.
In voltage terms, the offset delta is attenuated by a factor
of 32, 64 or 128, depending on the output range. (These
functions hold regardless of reference voltage.)
∆VOS = –(1/128)VOSADJ
[0V to 5V, ±2.5V spans]
∆VOS = –(1/64)VOSADJ
[0V to 10V, ±5V, –2.5V to
7.5V spans]
∆VOS = –(1/32)VOSADJ
[±10V span]
The gain error adjust pin GEADJ can be used to null gain
error or to compensate for reference errors. The gain error
change expressed in LSB is the same for any output range:
V(GE ADJ )
∆GE =
• 2048
V(RIN )
The gain-error delta is non-inverting for positive reference
voltages.
Note that this pin compensates the gain by altering the
inverted reference voltage V(REF). In voltage terms, the
V(REF) delta is inverted and attenuated by a factor of 128.
∆V(REF) = –(1/128)GEADJ
The nominal input range of these pins is ±5V; other voltages
of up to ±15V may be used if needed. However, do not use
voltages divided down from power supplies; referencequality, low-noise inputs are required to maintain the best
DAC performance.
The VOSADJ pin has an input impedance of 1.28MΩ. This
pin should be driven with a Thevenin-equivalent impedance of 10k or less to preserve the settling performance
of the LTC2757. It should be shorted to GND if not used.
The GEADJ pin has an input impedance of 2.56MΩ, and
is intended for use with fixed reference voltages only. It
should be shorted to GND if not used.

Table 5 contains a partial list of LTC precision op amps
recommended for use with the LTC2757. The easy-to-use
design equations simplify the selection of op amps to meet
the system’s specified error budget. Select the amplifier
from Table 5 and insert the specified op amp parameters
in Table 4. Add up all the errors for each category to determine the effect the op amp has on the accuracy of the
part. Arithmetic summation gives an (unlikely) worst-case
effect. A root-sum-square (RMS) summation produces a
more realistic estimate.
Op amp offset contributes mostly to DAC output offset
and gain error, and has minimal effect on INL and DNL.
For example, consider the LTC2757 in unipolar 5V output
range. (Note that for this example, the LSB size is 19µV.)
An op amp offset of 35µV will cause 1.8LSB of output
offset, and 1.8LSB of gain error; but 0.4LSB of INL, and
just 0.1LSB of DNL.
While not directly addressed by the simple equations in
Tables 3 and 4, temperature effects can be handled just
as easily for unipolar and bipolar applications. First, consult an op amp’s data sheet to find the worst-case VOS
and IB over temperature. Then, plug these numbers in
the VOS and IB equations from Table 4 and calculate the
temperature-induced effects.
For applications where fast settling time is important, Application Note 120, 1ppm Settling Time Measurement for
a Monolithic 18-Bit DAC, offers a thorough discussion of
18-bit DAC settling time and op amp selection.
Recommendations
To achieve the full specified static and dynamic performance
of the LTC2757, the LT1468 amplifier is recommended; it
offers a unique combination of fast settling and excellent
DC precision. When using the LT1468 as an output amp,
however, the offset voltage (75µV max) must be nulled to
avoid degrading the linearity of the LTC2757. The LT1468
datasheet shows how to do this with a digital potentiometer.
For DC or low-frequency applications, the LTC1150 is the
simplest 18-bit accurate output amplifier. An auto-zero
amp, its exceptionally low offset (10µV max) and offset
drift (0.01µV/°C) make nulling unnecessary. Note: for
swings above 8V, use an LT1010 buffer to boost the load
current capability of the LTC1150. The settling of auto-zero
amps is a special case; see Application Note 120, 1ppm
Settling Time Measurement for a Monolithic 18-Bit DAC,
Appendix E, for details.
The LT1012 and LT1001 are good intermediate output-amp
solutions that achieve moderate speed and good accuracy.
They are also excellent choices for the reference inverting
amplifier in fixed-reference applications.
Figure 3 shows a composite output amplifier that achieves
fast settling (8µs) and very low offset (3µV max) without
offset nulling. This circuit offers high open-loop gain
(1000V/mV min), low input bias current (0.15nA max),
fast slew rate (25V/µs min), and a high gain-bandwidth
product (30MHz typ). The high speed path consists of
an LTC6240HV, which is an 18MHz ultralow bias current
amplifier, followed by an LT1360, a 50MHz fast-slewing
amplifier which provides additional gain and the ability
to swing to ±10V at the output. Compensation is taken

from the output of the LTC6240HV, allowing the use of a
much larger compensation capacitor than if taken after
the gain-of-five stage. An LTC2054HV auto-zero amplifier
senses the voltage at IOUT1 and drives the non-inverting
input of the LTC6240HV to eliminate the offset of the high
speed path. The 100:1 attenuator and input filter reduce
the low frequency noise in this stage while maintaining
low DC offset.
Precision Voltage Reference Considerations
Much in the same way selecting an operational amplifier
for use with the LTC2757 is critical to the performance of
the system, selecting a precision voltage reference also
requires due diligence. The output voltage of the LTC2757 is
directly affected by the voltage reference; thus, any voltage
reference error will appear as a DAC output voltage error.
There are three primary error sources to consider when
selecting a precision voltage reference for 18-bit applications: output voltage initial tolerance, output voltage
temperature coefficient and output voltage noise.
Initial reference output voltage tolerance, if uncorrected,
generates a full-scale error term. Choosing a reference
with low output voltage initial tolerance, like the LT1236
(±0.05%), minimizes the gain error caused by the reference; however, a calibration sequence that corrects for
system zero- and full-scale error is always recommended.
A reference’s output voltage temperature coefficient affects
not only the full-scale error, but can also affect the circuit’s
INL and DNL performance. If a reference is chosen with
a loose output voltage temperature coefficient, then the
DAC output voltage along its transfer characteristic will
be very dependent on ambient conditions. Minimizing
the error due to reference temperature coefficient can be
achieved by choosing a precision reference with a low
output voltage temperature coefficient and/or tightly controlling the ambient temperature of the circuit to minimize
temperature gradients.
As precision DAC applications move to 18-bit performance,
reference output voltage noise may contribute a dominant
share of the system’s noise floor. This in turn can degrade
system dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio. Care
should be exercised in selecting a voltage reference with
18
as low an output noise voltage as practical for the system
resolution desired. Precision voltage references like the
LT1236 produce low output noise in the 0.1Hz to 10Hz
region, well below the 18-bit LSB level in 5V or 10V fullscale systems. However, as the circuit bandwidths increase,
filtering the output of the reference may be required to
minimize output noise.

Grounding
As with any high-resolution converter, clean grounding is
important. A low-impedance analog ground plane is necessary, as are star grounding techniques. Keep the board
layer used for star ground continuous to minimize ground
resistances; that is, use the star-ground concept without
using separate star traces. The IOUT2 pins are of particular
concern; INL will be degraded by the code-dependent
currents carried by the IOUT2F and IOUT2S pins if voltage
drops to ground are allowed to develop. The best strategy
here is to tie the pins to the star ground plane by multiple
vias located directly underneath the part. Alternatively, the
pins may be routed to the star ground point if necessary;
join them together at the part and route a single trace of
no more than 30 squares of 1oz copper.
In the rare case in which neither of these alternatives is
practicable, a force/sense amplifier should be used as a
ground buffer (see the Typical Applications section). Note,
however, that the voltage offset of the ground buffer amp
directly contributes to the effects on accuracy specified in
Table 4 under ‘VOS1’. The combined effects of the offsets
can be calculated by substituting the total offset from IOUT1
to IOUT2S for VOS1 in the equations.
