FEATURES DESCRIPTIO
50Msps Update Rate The LTC®1668 is a 16-bit, 50Msps differential current 16-Bit Resolution output DAC implemented on a high performance Bi CMOS High Spectral Purity: 87d B SFDR at 1MHz f OUT process with laser trimmed, thin-film resistors. The com- Differential Current Outputs bination of a novel current-steering architecture and a 30ns Settling Time high performance process produces a DAC with excep- 5p V-s Glitch Impulse tional AC and DC performance. This is the first 16-bit DAC Low Power: 180m W from ±5V Supplies in the marketplace to exhibit an SFDR (spurious free TTL/CMOS (3.3V or 5V) Inputs dynamic range) of 87d B for an output signal frequency of Small Package: 28-Pin SSOP 1MHz. Operating from ±5V supplies, the LTC1668 can be con- APPLICATIO S figured to provide full-scale output currents up to 10m A. The differential current outputs of the DAC allow single-
