PIN FUNCTIONS
SDA (Pin 1, Pin 1 on SOT-23): Serial Data Bidirectional
Pin. Data is shifted into the SDA pin and acknowledged by
the SDA pin. High impedance pin while data is shifted in.
Open-drain N-channel output during acknowledgment.
Requires a pull-up resistor or current source to VCC.
VCC (Pin 5, Pin 4 on SOT-23): Power Supply. 2.7V ≤ VCC
≤ 5.5V. Also used as the reference voltage input when the
part is programmed to use VCC as the reference.
AD0 (Pin 6): Slave Address Select Bit 0. Tie this pin to
either VCC or GND to modify the corresponding bit of the
LTC1669’s slave address.
AD1 (Pin 2): Slave Address Select Bit 1. Tie this pin to
either VCC or GND to modify the corresponding bit of the
LTC1669’s slave address.
GND (Pin 7, Pin 2 on SOT-23): System Ground.
V
OUT (Pin 8, Pin 3 on SOT-23): Voltage Output. Buffered
AD2 (Pin 3): Slave Address Select Bit 2. Tie this pin to
either VCC or GND to modify the corresponding bit of the
LTC1669’s slave address.
rail-to-rail DAC output.
SCL (Pin 4, Pin 5 on SOT-23): Serial Clock Input Pin. Data
is shifted into the SDA pin at the rising edges of the clock.
This high impedance pin requires a pull-up resistor or
current source to VCC.

DEFINITIONS
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL): The difference between
the measured change and the ideal 1LSB change for any
twoadjacentcodes.TheDNLerrorbetweenanytwocodes
is calculated as follows:
zero. The INL error at a given input code is calculated as
follows:
INL = [VOUT – VOS – (VFS – VOS)(code/1023)]/LSB
Where VOUT is the output voltage of the DAC measured at
the given input code.
DNL = (∆VOUT – LSB)/LSB
Where ∆VOUT is the measured voltage difference between
two adjacent codes.
Least Significant Bit (LSB): The ideal voltage difference
between two successive codes.
DigitalFeedthrough: Theglitchthatappearsattheanalog
outputcausedbyACcouplingfromthedigitalinputswhen
they change state. The area of the glitch is specified in
(nV)(sec).
LSB = VREF/1024
Resolution (n): Defines the number of DAC output states
(2n) that divide the full-scale range. Resolution does not
imply linearity.
Full-Scale Error (FSE): The deviation of the actual full-
scale voltage from ideal. FSE includes the effects of offset
and gain errors (see Applications Information).
Voltage Offset Error (VOS): Nominally, the voltage at the
output when the DAC is loaded with all zeros. A single
supply DAC can have a true negative offset, but the output
cannot go below zero (see Applications Information).
Integral Nonlinearity (INL): The deviation from a straight
line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer
curve(EndpointINL).Becausetheoutputcannotgobelow
zero, the linearity is measured between full scale and the
lowestcodethatguaranteestheoutputwillbegreaterthan
For this reason, single supply DAC offset is measured at
the lowest code that guarantees the output will be greater
than zero.
