The LTC1595/LTC1596/LTC1596-1 are serial input, 16‑bit multiplying current output DACs. The LTC1595 is pin and hardware compatible with the 12-bit DAC8043 and comes in 8-pin PDIP and SO packages. The LTC1596 is pin and hardware compatible with the 12-bit DAC8143/AD7543 and comes in the 16-pin SO wide package.Both are specified over the industrial temperature range. Sensitivity of INL to op amp VOSis reduced by five times compared to the industry standard 12-bit DACs, so most systems can be easily upgraded to true 16-bit resolution and linearity without requiring more precise op amps.These DACs include an internal deglitching circuit that reduces the glitch impulse by more than ten times to less than 1nV-s typ.The DACs have a clear input and a power-on reset. The LTC1595 and LTC1596 reset to zero-scale. The LTC1596‑1 is a version of the LTC1596 that resets to mid-scale.ApplicationsProcess Control and Industrial AutomationSoftware Controlled Gain AdjustmentDigitally Controlled Filter and Power SuppliesAutomatic Test Equipment
