DAC0808LCN/NOPB

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC0808LCN/NOPB is an 8-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a parallel interface and delivers unbuffered current output. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 18 V for both analog and digital domains. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 100 ns, a sampling rate of 6.6 MS/s, and integral nonlinearity of +/- 0.5 LSB. Power consumption is specified at 33 mW. It is housed in a 16-pin PDIP package and supports through-hole mounting with an operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Provides 8-bit resolution for precise digital-to-analog conversion tasks.
• Features a parallel data interface for direct connection to microprocessors.
• Delivers unbuffered current output suitable for external transimpedance amplification.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Waveform generation circuits
• Programmable gain amplifier control
• Voltage programmable filter tuning

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CN' corresponds to the PDIP-16 through-hole package when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's official documentation. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pinout and thermal requirements for the target PCB layout design.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low power consumption and moderate speed. The unbuffered current output necessitates an external operational amplifier for voltage conversion. Verify that the system logic levels are compatible with the parallel input interface before integration into the design architecture.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC0808 series of 8-bit D/A converters. It shares architectural similarities with the DAC0800 and DAC0802 but differs in packaging and specific electrical characteristics. The 'NOPB' suffix indicates lead-free and rohs compliant manufacturing standards compared to older variants.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC0808LCM/NOPB serves as a surface-mount alternative using the SOIC-Narrow-16 package. Other members of the DAC0800 family may offer similar functionality but require verification of pin compatibility and electrical specifications.
