DAC1401D125HL/C1:1

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC1401D125HL/C1:1 is a dual-port, high-speed, 2-channel CMOS Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) optimized for high dynamic performance with low power dissipation. It features a 14-bit resolution and supports an update rate of 125 Msps. The device operates on a single 3.3 V supply and delivers a full-scale output current ranging from 2 mA to 20 mA. Key electrical specifications include a typical power dissipation of 185 mW and a power-down mode consuming only 16 mW. It offers flexible data interfaces supporting both dual-port and interleaved modes.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture supporting parallel or interleaved data input modes
• Internal and external reference voltage options for system flexibility
• Industrial temperature range operation from -40°C to +85°C
• Low power consumption with dedicated power-down functionality

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Wireless base station transmitters
• Software-defined radio systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring high-speed signal generation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C1:1 against official Renesas documentation to confirm packaging details and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older variants may differ. Check for active production status or last-time-buy notifications directly with the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel, high-speed conversion is required within a compact LQFP48 package. Ensure the design accommodates the 2 mA to 20 mA output current range and utilizes the appropriate reference configuration. Verify that the system interface supports the required 125 Msps data throughput in either dual-port or interleaved mode.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC1401 series of high-performance digital-to-analog converters. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the DAC1408 but is distinct in its 14-bit resolution and 125 Msps speed class. The HL/C1 designation indicates the specific industrial grade and packaging variant within the broader product family.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly listed in public documentation. Evaluate pin-compatible alternatives within the Renesas DAC portfolio, such as the DAC1408 series, ensuring functional equivalence in resolution and speed. Verify interface compatibility and thermal requirements before considering any cross-model replacement.
