APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
SYNC Address/Quick Command
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.
The SYNC Address is 1111 110
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 amplifi er 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 amplifi er 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.

Rail-to-Rail Output Considerations
As in any rail-to-rail device, the output is limited to volt-
ages within the supply range.
If the DAC offset is negative, the output for the lowest
codes limits at 0V as shown in Figure 1b.
Similarly, limiting can occur near full scale when V
used as the reference. If V
error (FSE) is positive, the output for the highest codes
limits at V
can occur if the internal reference is used.
Offset and linearity are defi ned 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
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 V
parts are available in SOT-23 packages, the PC board space
for this application is extremely small. See Figure 2.
