The LTC2656CIUFD-L16#TRPBF is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Linear Technology (now part of Analog Devices Inc.). It is a quad 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed specifically for precision applications. This IC offers several key features that make it suitable for a wide range of industrial, automotive, and communication applications.
The LTC2656CIUFD-L16#TRPBF features a 16-bit resolution, providing excellent accuracy and precision in converting digital signals to analog outputs. It utilizes a voltage output configuration, which allows it to produce analog output voltage levels proportional to the digital input codes.
One of the standout features of this IC is its built-in precision voltage reference. It includes an integrated 2.5V reference, eliminating the need for an external reference and simplifying the design process. This on-chip reference ensures reliable and stable performance over a wide temperature range.
The LTC2656CIUFD-L16#TRPBF offers four independent DAC channels, which can be simultaneously operated or individually controlled. This allows for flexible and versatile applications, such as multi-channel systems or various output requirements.
The IC supports both SPI and I2C serial interfaces, making it compatible with a variety of microcontrollers and other digital devices. It also offers 16 internal programmable byte-caching registers, allowing for convenient data storage and retrieval while reducing the bus traffic
