Micropower Dual 10-Bit DAC in MSOP Description The LTC®1661 integrates two accurate, serially addressable, 10-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) in a single tiny MS8 package. Each buffered DAC draws just 60µA total supply current, yet is capable of supplying DC output currents in excess of 5m A and reliably driving capacitive loads up to 1000p F. Sleep mode further reduces total supply current to a negligible 1µA. Linear Technology’s proprietary, inherently monotonic voltage interpolation architecture provides excellent linearity while allowing for an exceptionally small external form factor. The double-buffered input logic provides simultaneous update capability and can be used to write to either DAC without interrupting sleep mode. Ultralow supply current, power-saving sleep mode and extremely pact size make the LTC1661 ideal for battery-powered applications, while its straightforward usability, high performance and wide supply range make it an excellent choice as a general purpose converter.
