SO-8 Package (LTC1595)
TheLTC®1595/LTC1596/LTC1596-1areserialinput,16-bit
multiplying current output DACs. The LTC1595 is pin and
hardware compatible with the 12-bit DAC8043 and comes
in 8-pin PDIP and SO packages. The LTC1596 is pin and
hardware compatible with the 12-bit DAC8143/AD7543
and comes in the 16-pin SO wide package.

Pin Compatible with Industry Standard
12-Bit DACs: DAC8043 and DAC8143/AD7543
n
4-Quadrant Multiplication
Both are specified over the industrial temperature range.
Sensitivity of INL to op amp V is reduced by five times
compared to the industry standard 12-bit DACs, so most
systems can be easily upgraded to true 16-bit resolution
and linearity without requiring more precise op amps.

Power-On Reset
LTC1595/LTC1596: Resets to Zero-Scale
LTC1596-1: Resets to Mid-Scale
n
3-Wire SPI and MICROWIRE Compatible
These DACs include an internal deglitching circuit that
reduces the glitch impulse by more than ten times to less
than 1nV-s typ.
Serial Interface
Daisy-Chain Serial Output (LTC1596)
Asynchronous Clear Input

n
LTC1596: Clears to Zero-Scale
LTC1596-1: Clears to Mid-Scale
The DACs have a clear input and a power-on reset. The
LTC1595 and LTC1596 reset to zero-scale. The LTC1596-1
is a version of the LTC1596 that resets to mid-scale.
