The 8-bit LTC ^®1665 and 10-bit LTC1660 integrate eightaccurate, serially addressable digital-to-analog convert-ers (DACs) in tiny 16-pin narrow SSOP packages. Eachbuffered DAC draws just 56m A total supply current, yet iscapable of supplying DC output currents in excess of5mA and reliably driving capacitive loads to 1000pF.Sleep mode further reduces total supply current to 1m A.

Linear Technology's proprietary, inherently monotonicvoltage interpolation architecture provides excellent lin-earity while allowing for an exceptionally small externalform factor.

Ultralow supply current, power-saving Sleep mode andextremely compact size make the LTC1665 and LTC1660ideal for battery-powered applications, while their ease ofuse, high performance and wide supply range make them excellent choices as general purpose converters.
