The LTC1596ACSW#PBF is a serial input 16-bit multiplying current output Digital-to-analog Converter (DAC) with LTC1596ACSW-marking. It is specified over the industrial temperature range. The LTC1596 is pin and hardware compatible with the 12-bit DAC8143/AD7543. Sensitivity of INL to op amp VOS is reduced by five times compared to the industry standard 12-bit DAC, so most systems can be easily upgraded to true 16-bit resolution and linearity without requiring more precise op amps. This DAC includes an internal deglitching circuit that reduces the glitch impulse by more than ten times to less than 1nV-s typ. The DAC has a clear input and a power-on reset.
