The LTC2636CDE-HZ10#PBF is an IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by Linear Technology Corporation. It is a high-precision, 12-bit voltage output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that offers many advanced features for various applications. Below is a brief overview of its key features:
1. Resolution: This DAC has a resolution of 12 bits, which means it can provide 4,096 different voltage output levels with a voltage reference range of 0V to VREF.
2. Accuracy and Linearity: The LTC2636CDE-HZ10#PBF offers exceptional accuracy and linearity, with a maximum integral linearity error of just ±2 LSB and a maximum differential linearity error of ±1 LSB. This ensures precise and reliable voltage outputs.
3. Voltage Reference: This IC component requires an external voltage reference, which can be set anywhere between 2.5V and VCC (power supply voltage). This flexibility allows users to adapt the DAC's dynamic range to suit their specific application requirements.
4. Rail-to-Rail Output: The device's analog output voltage ranges from 0V to VREF, which is typically equal to the reference voltage but can be adjusted using an external reference.
5. Low Glitch Impulse: The LTC2636CDE-HZ10#PBF exhibits minimal glitch impulse, ensuring that there are no undesirable voltage transients during output code changes
