The LTC®1669 is a 10-bit voltage output DAC with true
buffered rail-to-rail output voltage capability. It operates
from a single supply with a range of 2.7V to 5.5V. The
reference for the DAC is selectable between the supply
voltage or an internal bandgap reference. Selecting the
internal bandgap reference will set the full-scale output
voltage range to 2.5V. Selecting the supply as the reference
sets the output voltage range to the supply voltage.
The part features a simple 2-wire serial interface compatible with I2C that allows communication between many
devices. The internal data registers are double buffered to
allow for simultaneous update of several devices at once.
The DAC can be put in low current power-down mode for
use in power conscious systems.
Power-on reset ensures the DAC output is at 0V when
power is initially applied, and all internal registers are
cleared. The LTC1669 is pin-for-pin compatible with the
LTC1663.
For SMBus-compatible designs, please refer to the
LTC1663.

PIN FUNCTIONS
SDA (Pin 1, Pin 1 on SOT-23): Serial Data Bidirectional
Pin. Data is shifted into the SDA pin and acknowledged
by the SDA pin. High impedance pin while data is shifted
in. Open-drain N-channel output during acknowledgment.
Requires a pull-up resistor or current source to VCC.
AD1 (Pin 2): Slave Address Select Bit 1. Tie this pin to
either VCC or GND to modify the corresponding bit of the
LTC1669’s slave address.
AD2 (Pin 3): Slave Address Select Bit 2. Tie this pin to
either VCC or GND to modify the corresponding bit of the
LTC1669’s slave address.
SCL (Pin 4, Pin 5 on SOT-23): 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.
VCC (Pin 5, Pin 4 on SOT-23): Power Supply. 2.7V ≤ VCC
≤ 5.5V. Also used as the reference voltage input when the
part is programmed to use VCC as the reference.
AD0 (Pin 6): Slave Address Select Bit 0. Tie this pin to
either VCC or GND to modify the corresponding bit of the
LTC1669’s slave address.
GND (Pin 7, Pin 2 on SOT-23): System Ground.
VOUT (Pin 8, Pin 3 on SOT-23): Voltage Output. Buffered
rail-to-rail DAC output.

LTC1669
DEFINITIONS
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL): The difference between
the measured change and the ideal 1LSB change for any
two adjacent codes. The DNL error between any two codes
is calculated as follows:
DNL = (ΔVOUT – LSB)/LSB
Where ΔVOUT is the measured voltage difference between
two adjacent codes.
Digital Feedthrough: The glitch that appears at the analog output caused by AC coupling from the digital inputs
when they change state. The area of the glitch is specified
in (nV)(sec).
Full-Scale Error (FSE): The deviation of the actual full-scale
voltage from ideal. FSE includes the effects of offset and
gain errors (see Applications Information).
Integral Nonlinearity (INL): The deviation from a straight
line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer
curve (Endpoint INL). Because the output cannot go
below zero, the linearity is measured between full scale
and the lowest code that guarantees the output will be
greater than zero. The INL error at a given input code is
calculated as follows:
INL = [VOUT – VOS – (VFS – VOS)(code/1023)]/LSB
Where VOUT is the output voltage of the DAC measured
at the given input code.
Least Significant Bit (LSB): The ideal voltage difference
between two successive codes.
LSB = VREF/1024
Resolution (n): Defines the number of DAC output states
(2n) that divide the full-scale range. Resolution does not
imply linearity.
Voltage Offset Error (VOS): Nominally, the voltage at the
output when the DAC is loaded with all zeros. A single
supply DAC can have a true negative offset, but the output
cannot go below zero (see Applications Information).
For this reason, single supply DAC offset is measured at
the lowest code that guarantees the output will be greater
than zero.

Serial Digital Interface
Write Word Protocol
The LTC1669 communicates with a host (master) using
the standard 2-wire interface. The Timing Diagram shows
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,
such as the LTC1694 SMBus/I2C Accelerator, are required
on these lines.
The master initiates communication with the LTC1669 with
a START condition and a 7-bit address followed by the Write
Bit (Wr) = 0. The LTC1669 acknowledges and the master
delivers the command byte. The LTC1669 acknowledges
and latches the command byte into the command byte
input register. The master then delivers the least significant
data byte. Again the LTC1669 acknowledges and the data
is latched into the least significant data byte input register.
The master then delivers the most significant data byte.
The LTC1669 acknowledges once more and latches the
data into the most significant data byte input register.
Lastly, the master terminates the communication with a
STOP condition. On the reception of the STOP condition,
the LTC1669 transfers the input register information to
output registers and the DAC output is updated.
The LTC1669 is a receive-only (slave) device. The master
can communicate with the LTC1669 using the Quick Command, Send Byte or Write Word protocols as explained
later.
The START and STOP 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 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 line during the
Acknowledge clock pulse so that it remains a stable LOW
during the HIGH period of this clock pulse.
Slave Address (MSOP Package Only)
The LTC1669 can respond to one of eight 7-bit addresses.
The first 4 bits (MSBs) have been factory programmed to
0100. The first 4 bits of the LTC1669-8 have been factory
programmed to 0011. The three address bits, AD2, AD1
and AD0 are programmed by the user and determine the
LSBs of the slave address, as shown in the table below:

The Bandgap (BG) bit when set to “0” selects the DAC
supply voltage as its voltage reference. The full-scale
output of the DAC with this setting is equal to the supply
voltage. When the BG bit is set to “1,” the internal bandgap
reference (≈1.25V) is selected as the DAC’s reference. The
full-scale output voltage for this setting is 2.5V.

Send Byte Protocol
The stop condition normally initiates the update of the
DAC’s output latches. Simultaneous update of more than
one DAC or other devices on the bus can be achieved by
reissuing new start bit, address, command and data bytes
before issuing a final stop condition (which will update
all the devices). An alternate way to achieve simultaneous
LTC1669 updates is to override the stop condition update
by setting the “SY” bit of the command byte. Setting this
bit sets the device to update the DAC output latches only
at the reception of a SYNC address quick command. The
actual update occurs on the rising edge of SCL during the
Acknowledge. In this way, all devices can update on the
reception of the SYNC address quick command instead
of the STOP condition.
The Send Byte protocol used on the LTC1669 is actually a
subset of the Write Word protocol described previously.
The Send Byte protocol can only be used to send the
command byte information to the LTC1669.
A Shutdown (SD) bit = HIGH will put the device in a low
power state but retain all data latch information. Shutdown
will occur at the reception of a STOP condition. This way
shutdown could be synchronized to other devices. The
output impedance of the DAC will go to a high impedance
state (≈ 500kΩ to GND).
Reception of a START or STOP condition before the Acknowledge of the command byte will cause the interrupted
command byte to be ignored.

The Send Byte protocol is also used whenever the Write
Word protocol is interrupted for any reason. Reception of
a START or STOP condition after the Acknowledge of the
command byte, but before the Acknowledge of the last
data byte, will cause both data bytes to be ignored and
the command byte to be accepted.

LTC1669
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
SYNC Address/Quick Command
Rail-to-Rail Output Considerations
In addition to the slave address, the LTC1669 has an address
that can be shared by other devices so that they may be
updated synchronously. The address is called to the SYNC
address and uses the quick command protocol.
As in any rail-to-rail device, the output is limited to voltages within the supply range.
The SYNC Address is 1111 110
Similarly, limiting can occur near full scale when VCC is
used as the reference. 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 1c. No full-scale limiting
can occur if the internal reference is used.

The SY/CLR bit set high only has meaning when the “SY”
bit of the command byte was previously set HIGH. On
the otherhand, the SY/CLR bit set LOW will always clear
the part, independent of the state of the “SY” bit in the
command byte.
Voltage Output
The output amplifier contained in the LTC1669 can source
or sink up to 5mA. The output stage swings to within a
few millivolts of either supply rail when unloaded and
has an equivalent output resistance of 85Ω when driving
a load to the rails. The output amplifier is stable driving
capacitive loads up to 1000pF.
A small resistor placed in series with the output can be
used to achieve stability for any load capacitance greater
than 1000pF. For example, a 0.1μF load can be driven
by the LTC1669 if a 110Ω series resistance is used. The
phase margin of the resulting circuit is 45° and increases
monotonically from this point if larger values of resistance,
capacitance or both are substituted for the values given.
If the DAC offset is negative, the output for the lowest
codes limits at 0V as shown in Figure 1b.
Offset and linearity are defined and tested over the region
of the DAC transfer function where no output limiting can
occur.
Internal Reference
In applications where a predictable output is required
that is independent of supply voltage, the LTC1669 has a
user-selectable internal reference. Selecting the internal
reference will set the full-scale output voltage to 2.5V. This
can be useful in applications where the supply voltage is
poorly regulated.
Using the LT®1460 Micropower Series Reference as a
Power Supply for the LTC1669
In applications where the advantages of using the internal
reference are required but the full-scale range needs to
be greater than 2.5V, an external series reference can be
used. The LT1460 is ideal for use as a power supply for
the LTC1669 and can provide 3V, 3.3V and 5V full-scale
output voltage ranges. The LT1460 provides accuracy, noise
immunity and extended supply range to the LTC1669 when
the LTC1669 is operated ratiometric to VCC. Since both
parts are available in SOT-23 packages, the PC board space
for this application is extremely small. See Figure 2.
