(LTC2642-12N.
The LTC2641/LTC2642 include a power-on reset circuit
to ensure that the DAC ouput comes up in a known state.
Clearing the DAC
When V is first applied, the power-on reset circuit sets

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Unipolar Configuration
The external amplifier provides a unity-gain buffer. The
LTC2642 can also be used in unipolar configuration by
Figure 2 shows a typical unipolar DAC application for
the LTC2641. Tables 1a, 1b and 1c show the unipolar
binary code tables for 16-bit, 14-bit and 12-bit operation.
