LTC1665/LTC1660
Micropower Octal
8-Bit and 10-Bit DACs
DESCRIPTION
The 8-bit LTC®1665 and 10-bit LTC1660 integrate eight
accurate, serially addressable digital-to-analog convert-
ers (DACs) in tiny 16-pin narrow SSOP packages. Each
buffered DAC draws just 56μA total supply current, yet
is capable of supplying DC output currents in excess
of 5mA and reliably driving capacitive loads to 1000pF.
Sleep mode further reduces total supply current to 1μA.
