APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Unbuffered Operation and V
The DAC output is available directly at the V
swings from GND to V
the lowest possible offset, full-scale and linearity errors, the
fastest settling time and minimum power consumption.
However, unbuffered operation requires that appropriate
loading be maintained on the V
LTC2642 V
in series with a source resistance of R
(Figure 4). The DAC’s linear output impedance allows it
to drive medium loads (R
or DNL; only the gain error is increased. The gain error
(GE) caused by a load resistance, R
scale) is:
In 16-bit LSBs:
R
independent of DAC code. The variation of R
part, is typically less than ±20%.
Note on LSB units:
For the following error descriptions, “LSB” means 16-bit
LSB and 65,536 is rounded to 66k.
To convert to 14-bit LSBs (LTC2641-14/LTC2642-14)
divide by 4.
To convert to 12-bit LSBs (LTC2641-12/LTC2642-12)
divide by 16.

(Figure 4). Settling to 1/2LSB at 16-bits requires about 12

Op Amp Selection
The optimal choice for an external buffer op amp depends
on whether the DAC is used in the unipolar or bipolar
mode of operation, and also depends on the accuracy,
speed, power dissipation and board area requirements of
the application. The LTC2641/LTC2642’s combination of
tiny package size, rail-to-rail single supply operation, low
power dissipation, fast settling and nearly ideal accuracy
specifi cations makes it impractical for one op amp type
to fi t every application.
In bipolar mode (LTC2642 only), the amplifi er operates
with the internal resistors to provide bipolar offset and
scaling. In this case, a precision amplifi er operating from
dual power supplies, such as the the LT1678 provides the
±V
In unipolar mode, the output amplifi er operates as a unity
gain voltage follower. For unipolar, single supply applica-
tions a precision, rail-to-rail input, single supply op amp
