Transfer Function
The transfer function for the LTC1662 is:
VOUT(IDEAL) =
k
1024
VREF
where k is the decimal equivalent of the binary DAC input
code D9-D0 and VREF is the voltage at REF (Pin 4).
Power-On Reset
The LTC1662 actively clears the outputs to zero-scale
when power is first applied, making system initialization
consistent and repeatable.
Power Supply Sequencing
The voltage at REF (Pin 4) should be kept within the range
–0.3V ≤ VREF ≤ VCC + 0.3V (see the Absolute Maximum
Ratings). Particular care should be taken during power
supplyturn-onandturn-offsequences,whenthevoltageat
VCC (Pin 6) is in transition. If it is not possible to sequence
the supplies, clamp the voltage at REF by connecting a
SchottkydiodebetweenPin4(anode)andPin6(cathode).
Serial Interface
See Table 2. The 16-bit input word consists of the 4-bit

Aftertheinputwordisloadedintotheregister(seeFigure1),
it is internally converted from serial to parallel format. The
parallel 10-bit-wide input code data path is then buffered
by two latch registers.
