LTC1458/LTC1458L
Quad 12-Bit Rail-to-Rail
Micropower DACs
Daisy-Chained Control Outputs
The LTC
®
1458/LTC1458L are complete single supply,
quad rail-to-rail voltage output, 12-bit digital-to-analog
converters (DACs) in SO-28 and SSOP-28 packages. They
include an output buffer amplifier with variable gain (×1 or
×2) and an easy-to-use 3-wire cascadable serial interface.
The LTC1458 has an onboard reference of 2.048V and a
full-scale output of 4.095V in a ×2 gain configuration. It
operates from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply dissipating
only 5.5mW (I
CC
= 1.1mA typ).
The LTC1458L has an onboard 1.22V reference and a full-
scale output of 2.5V in a ×2 gain configuration. It operates
from a single supply of 2.7V to 5.5V dissipating 2.4mW.
Excellent DNL, low supply current and a wide range of
built-in functions allow these parts to be used in a host of
applications when flexibility, power and single supply
operation are important.
