DESCRIPTION
LTC2640
Single 12-Bit SPI VOUT DAC
with Internal Reference
Demonstration circuit 1333A features the LT C
®
2640, a
12-bit SPI DAC. This device establishes a new bench-
mark for size and integration of 12-bit DACs and onboard
reference.
The DC1333A may be connected directly to the target
application’s analog signals while using the DC590 USB
serial controller board and supplied software to measure

QUICK START PROCEDURE
1. ConnecttheDC1333AtoaDC590USBserialcontroller
using the supplied 14-conductor ribbon cable.
2. Connect the DC590 to the host PC with a standard
USB A/B cable.
3. Run the QuikEval™ evaluation software supplied
with the DC590 or download it from www.linear.
com/software. The correct program will be loaded
automatically.
Options are available to display the DAC output in voltage,
hex code, or decimal count. Additionally, the reference
voltage may be changed to reflect an actual measured
value, such that the output voltage matches the theoreti-
cal output voltage. The reference mode may be changed
from internal reference to external reference.
Features may be periodically added to the software. See
the software’s help menu for the latest information.

JUMPERS
_CLR/REF_SEL: On the B and D versions of the demo
board, this is not populated. On the A and C versions of the
demo board, this is used to determine the reference input.
ANALOG CONNECTIONS
DAC outputs are provided on the row of turret posts at
the edge of the board.
GROUNDING AND POWER CONNECTIONS
Power (VCC): Normally, the DC1334A is powered by the
DC590 controller. VCC can be supplied to the 5V turret,
howeverthe power supply on the DC590 must be disabled!
Refer to the DC590 Quick Start Guide for more details on
this mode of operation.
Grounding: Three ground posts are provided.
