Pin-Compatible Octal Version Available (LTC1660)
The LTC
®
1664 integrates four accurate, serially addres-
sable 10-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) in a tiny
16-pin Narrow SSOP package. Each buffered DAC draws
just 59µA total supply current, yet is capable of supplying
DC output currents in excess of 5mA and reliably driving
capacitive loads of up to 1000pF. Sleep mode further
reduces total supply current to 1µA.
Linear Technology’s proprietary, inherently monotonic
voltage interpolation architecture provides excellent lin-
earity while allowing for an exceptionally small external
form factor.
Ultralow supply current, power-saving Sleep mode and
extremely compact size make the LTC1664 ideal for
battery-powered applications, while its ease of use, high
performance and wide supply range make it an excellent
choice as a general-purpose converter.

Guaranteed by design and not subject to test.
Note 7:
Measured at code 20.
Note 8:
If a continuous clock is used, CS/LD timing (t

) will limit the
maximum clock frequency to 5MHz at 4.5V to 5.5V(3.85MHz at 2.7V to
5.5V).
