high-to-low transition, the data on DIN is loaded, MSB 
first, into the shift register on each rising edge of the serial 
clock input (SCLK). After 16 data bits have been loaded 
into the serial input register, a low-to-high transition on 
CS transfers the data to the 16-bit DAC latch, updating 
the DAC output (see Figures 1a, 1b, 1c). While CS remains 
high, the serial input shift register is disabled. If there 
are less than 16 low-to-high transitions on SCLK while 
CS remains low, the data will be corrupted, and must be 
reloaded. Also, if there are more than 16 low-to-high transi-
tions on SCLK while CS remains low, only the last 16 data 
bits loaded from DIN will be transferred to the DAC latch. 
For the 14-bit DACs, (LTC2641-14/LTC2642-14), the MSB 
remains in the same (left-justified) position in the input 
16-bit data word. Therefore, two “don’t-care” bits must 
be loaded after the LSB, to make up the required 16 data 
bits (Figure 1b). Similarly, for the 12-bit family members 
(LTC2641-12/LTC2642-12) four “don’t-care” bits must 
follow the LSB (Figure 1c). 
Power-On Reset 
The LTC2641/LTC2642 include a power-on reset circuit 
to ensure that the DAC ouput comes up in a known state. 
When V
DD
 is first applied, the power-on reset circuit 
sets the output of the LTC2641 to zero-scale (code 0). 
The LTC2642 powers up to midscale (bipolar zero). De-
pending on the DAC number of bits, the midscale code 
is: 32,768 (LTC2642-16); 8,192 (LTC2642-14); or 2,048 
(LTC2642-12).
Clearing the DAC
A 10ns (minimum) low pulse on the CLR pin asynchro-
nously clears the DAC latch to code zero (LTC2641) or to 
midscale (LTC2642).
