DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
1454/LTC1454L are complete single supply,
dual rail-to-rail voltage output, 12-bit digital-to-analog
converters (DACs) in a 16-lead SO package. They include
an output buffer amplifier with variable gain (×1 or
×
2)
and an easy-to-use 3-wire cascadable serial interface.
The LTC1454 has an onboard reference of 2.048V and a
full-scale output of 4.095V in a
×
2 gain configuration. It
operates from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply.
The LTC1454L has an onboard 1.22V reference and a full-
scale output of 2.5V in a
×
2 gain configuration. It operates
from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply.
Low power supply current, excellent DNL and small size
allow these parts to be used in a host of applications where
size, DNL and single supply operation are important.

PIN FUNCTIONS
X1/X2 B, X1/X2 A (Pins 1, 7):
For LTC1454, when this pin
is grounded, the gain will be 2. When connected to V
OUT
the gain will be 1. In a gain of 2 configuration, the output
full scale will be 2
×
REFHI. When using the internal
reference, this value is 4.096V. For the LTC1454L, when
this pin is grounded, the gain will be 2.05. When connected
to V
OUT
the gain will be 1. In a gain of 2 configuration, the
output full scale will be 2.05
×
REFHI. When using the
internal reference this value is 2.5V.
CLR (Pin 2):
The Clear Pin for the DAC. Clears both DACs
to zero scale when pulled low. This pin should be tied to
V
CC
for normal operation.
CLK (Pin 3):
The Serial Interface Clock Input.
D
IN
(Pin 4):
The Serial Data Input. Data on the D
IN
pin is
latched into the shift register on the rising edge of the serial
clock. Data is loaded as one 24-bit word. The first 12 bits
are for DAC A, MSB-first and the second 12 bits are for
DAC B, MSB-first.
CS/LD (Pin 5):
The Serial Interface Enable and Load
Control Input. When CS/LD is low the CLK signal is
enabled so the data can be clocked in. When CS/LD is
pulled high, data is loaded from the shift register into the
DAC register, updating the DAC output.
D
OUT
(Pin 6):
The Output of the Shift Register which
Becomes Valid on the Rising Edge of the Serial Clock.
V
OUT A,
V
OUT B
(Pins 8, 16):
The Buffered DAC Outputs.
V

5.5V (LTC1454), 2.7V
≤

CC
≤
5.5V (LTC1454L). Re-
quires a bypass capacitor to ground.
REFOUT (Pin 10):
The Output of the Internal Reference.
REFHI A , REFHI B (Pins 11,14):
The Inputs to the DAC
Resistor Ladder for DAC A/B.
REFLO (Pin 12):
The Bottom of the DAC Resistor Ladder
for Both DACs. This can be used to offset zero-scale above
ground. REFLO should be connected to ground when no
offset is required.
GND (Pin 13):
Ground.
