The LTC
®
1426 is a dual micropower 6-bit PWM DAC
featuring versatile PWM outputs and a flexible pushbutton
compatible digital interface. The DAC outputs provide a
PWM signal that swings from 0V to V
REF
, allowing the full-
scale output to be varied by adjusting the voltage at V
REF
.
The PWM output frequency is typically 5kHz, easing
output filtering requirements. V
CC
supply current is typi-
cally 50µA and drops to 0.2µA in shutdown.
The LTC1426 can be controlled using one of two interface
modes: pushbutton and pulse. The LTC1426 automati-
cally configures itself into the appropriate mode at start-
up by monitoring the state of the CLK pins. In pushbutton
mode, the CLK pins can be directly connected to external
pushbuttons to control the DAC output. In pulse mode,
the CLK pins can be connected to CMOS compatible
logic. The DAC outputs initially power up at half scale and
the contents of the internal DAC registers are retained in
shutdown.
The LTC1426 is available in 8-pin MSOP and SO packages.
