The LTC2655 is a family of quad voltage output DACs in
20-lead 4mm × 4mm QFN and in 16-lead narrow SSOP
packages. Each DAC can operate rail-to-rail in external
reference mode, or with its full-scale voltage set by an
integrated reference. Four combinations of accuracy (16-bit
and 12-bit), and full-scale voltage (2.5V or 4.096V) are
available. The LTC2655 is controlled using a 2-wire I
2
C
compatible interface.
Power-On Reset
The LTC2655-L/LTC2655-H clear the output to zero-scale
if PORSEL pin is tied to GND, when power is fi rst applied,
making system initialization consistent and repeatable. For
some applications, downstream circuits are active during
DAC power-up, and may be sensitive to nonzero outputs
from the DAC during this time. The LTC2655 contains
circuitry to reduce the power-on glitch. The analog outputs
typically rise less than 10mV above zero-scale during power
on if the power supply is ramped to 5V in 1ms or more.
In general, the glitch amplitude decreases as the power
supply ramp time is increased. See Power-On Reset Glitch
in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Alternatively, if PORSEL pin is tied to V
CC
, The LTC2655-L/
LTC2655-H set the output to mid-scale when power is
rst applied.
Power Supply Sequencing and Start-Up
For the LTC2655 family of parts, the internal reference is
powered up at start-up by default. If an external reference
is to be used, REFCOMP (Pin 3/Pin 2, GN/UF) must be
hardwired to GND. This confi guration allows the use of an
external reference at start-up and converts the REFIN/OUT
pin to an input. However, the internal reference will still be
ON and draw supply current. In order to use an external
reference, command 0111b should be used to turn the
internal reference off (see Table 1).
The voltage at REFIN/OUT (Pin 5/Pin 4, GN/UF) should be
kept within the range – 0.3V ≤ REFIN/OUT ≤ V
CC
+ 0.3V
(see the Absolute Maximum Ratings section). Particular
care should be taken to observe these limits during power
supply turn-on and turn-off sequences, when the voltage
at V
CC
(Pin 15/Pin 18, GN/UF) is in transition.
Transfer Function
The digital-to-analog transfer function is
V
OUT(IDEAL)
= 2 • k/2
N
[V
REF
– REFLO] + REFLO
where k is the decimal equivalent of the binary DAC input
code, N is the resolution, and V
REF
is the voltage at the
REFIN/OUT Pin. The resulting DAC output span is 0V to
2•V
REF
, as it is necessary to tie REFLO to GND. V
REF
is
nominally 1.25V for LTC2655-L and 2.048V for LTC2655-H,
in internal reference mode.

Serial Interface
The LTC2655 communicates with a host using the stan-
dard 2-wire I
2
C interface. The Timing Diagram (Figure 1)
shows the timing relationship of the signals on the bus.
The two bus lines, SDA and SCL, must be high when the
bus is not in use. External pull-up resistors or current
sources are required on these lines. The value of these
pull-up resistors is dependent on the power supply and
can be obtained from the I
2
C specifi cations. For an I
2
C
bus operating in the fast mode, an active pull-up will be

necessary if the bus capacitance is greater than 200pF.
The LTC2655 is a receive-only (slave) device. The master
can write to the LTC2655. The LTC2655 does not respond
to a read command from the master.
The START (S) and STOP (P) Conditions
When the bus is not in use, both SCL and SDA must be high.
A bus master signals the beginning of a communication
to a slave device by transmitting a START condition (see
Figure 1). A START condition is generated by transitioning
SDA from high to low while SCL is high. When the master
has fi nished communicating with the slave, it issues a STOP
condition. A STOP condition is generated by transitioning
SDA from low to high while SCL is high. The bus is then
free for communication with another I
2
C device.
Acknowledge
The Acknowledge signal is used for handshaking between
the master and the slave. An Acknowledge (active LOW)
generated by the slave lets the master know that the lat-
est byte of information was received. The Acknowledge
related clock pulse is generated by the master. The master
releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the Acknowledge
clock pulse. The slave-receiver must pull down the SDA
bus line during the Acknowledge clock pulse so that it
remains a stable LOW during the HIGH period of this clock
pulse. The LTC2655 responds to a write by a master in
this manner. The LTC2655 does not acknowledge a read
(retains SDA HIGH during the period of the Acknowledge
clock pulse).
Chip Address
The state of CA0, CA1 and CA2 decides the slave address
of the part. The pins CA0, CA1 and CA2 can be each set
to any one of three states: V
CC
, GND or fl oat. This results
in 27 selectable addresses for the part. The slave address
assignments are shown in Table 2.
In addition to the address selected by the address pins,
the parts also respond to a global address. This address
allows a common write to all LTC2655 parts to be accom-
plished with one 3-byte write transaction on the I
2
C bus.
The global address is a 7-bit on-chip hardwired address
and is not selectable by CA0, CA1 and CA2. The addresses
corresponding to the states of CA0, CA1 and CA2 and
the global address are shown in Table 2. The maximum
capacitive load allowed on the address pins (CA0, CA1
and CA2) is 10pF, as these pins are driven during address
detection to determine if they are fl oating.

OPERATION
Write Word Protocol
The master initiates communication with the LTC2655
with a START condition and a 7-bit slave address followed
by the Write bit (W) = 0. The LTC2655 acknowledges by
pulling the SDA pin low at the 9th clock if the 7-bit slave
address matches the address of the part (set by CA0, CA1
and CA2) or the global address. The master then transmits
three bytes of write data. The LTC2655 acknowledges each
byte of data by pulling the SDA line low at the 9th clock of
each data byte transmission. After receiving three com-
plete bytes of data, the LTC2655 executes the command
specifi ed in the 24-bit input word. If more than three data
bytes are transmitted after a valid 7-bit slave address, the
LTC2655 does not acknowledge the extra bytes of data
(SDA is high during the 9th clock). The fi rst byte of the
input word consists of the 4-bit command followed by
the 4-bit address. The next two bytes consist of the 16-bit
data word. The 16-bit data word consists of the 16-bit, or
12-bit input code, MSB to LSB, followed by 0 or 4 don’t
care bits (LTC2655-16 and LTC2655-12 respectively). A
typical LTC2655 write transaction is shown in Figure 2.
The command (C3-C0) and address (A3-A0) assignments
are shown in Table 1. The fi rst four commands in the table
consist of write and update operations. A write operation
loads a 16-bit data word from the 32-bit shift register into
the input register. In an update operation, the data word
is copied from the input register to the DAC register and
converted to an analog voltage at the DAC output. The
update operation also powers up the DAC if it had been in
power-down mode. The data path and registers are shown
in the Block Diagram.
Power-Down Mode
For power-constrained applications, power-down mode
can be used to reduce the supply current whenever less
than four outputs are needed. When in power-down, the
buffer amplifi ers, bias circuits and integrated reference
circuits are disabled, and draw essentially zero current.
The DAC outputs are put into a high-impedance state, and
the output pins are passively pulled to ground through
individual 80k resistors. Input- and DAC-register contents
are not disturbed during power-down.
Any channel or combination of channels can be put into
power-down mode by using command 0100b in combina-
tion with the appropriate DAC address, (
n
). The integrated
reference is automatically powered down when external
reference mode is selected using command 0111b. In ad-
dition, all the DAC channels and the integrated reference
together can be put into power-down mode using the
Power-Down Chip command 0101b. For all power-down
commands the 16-bit data word is ignored, but still required
in order to complete a full communication cycle.
Normal operation resumes by executing any command
which includes a DAC update, in software as shown in
Table 1 or using the asynchronous LDAC pin. The selected
DAC is powered up as its voltage output is updated. When
a DAC which is in a powered-down state is powered up and
updated, normal settling is delayed. If less than four DACs
are in a powered-down state prior to the update command,
the power-up delay time is approximately 12s. If on the
other hand, all four DACs and the integrated reference
are powered down, then the main bias generation circuit
block has been automatically shut down in addition to the
individual DAC amplifi ers and the integrated reference.
