Voltage Output
The LTC2633’s integrated rail-to-rail amplifier has guaran-
teed 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 Ω. 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

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 for the lowest codes as shown in Figure 5b.
Similarly, limiting can occur near full scale when the REF
pin is tied to V
(FSE) is positive, the output for the highest codes limits

Offset and linearity are defined and tested over the region
of the DAC transfer function where no output limiting can
occur.
