DAC3164IRGCT

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC3164IRGCT is a single-channel, high-speed digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a 16-bit resolution and supports sampling rates up to 500 MS/s. The device utilizes a parallel interface for data input and provides a current output structure. It operates with analog supply voltages of 1.8 V or 3.3 V and a digital supply voltage of 1.8 V. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 12 ns, differential nonlinearity (DNL) of +/- 0.2 LSB, and integral nonlinearity (INL) of +/- 0.5 LSB. The component is housed in a VQFN-64 package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IRGCT' to confirm the operating temperature range, reel packaging format, and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with the required VQFN-64 footprint during procurement planning. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for moisture sensitivity levels and recommended soldering profiles to prevent handling damage.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel architecture with 16-bit precision is required at high speeds. Compare against the DAC3174 if higher dynamic range is needed, or the DAC3161/3162 if lower resolution suffices. Confirm that the parallel interface matches the system controller's capabilities and that the current output structure aligns with the load requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC31xx series of high-speed, low-power DACs from Texas Instruments. It shares the same VQFN-64 package and core architecture as the DAC3161, DAC3162, DAC3171, and DAC3174. The primary distinction lies in the resolution, where this model offers 16 bits compared to 10, 12, or 14 bits in other family members.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes within the same series include the DAC3174IRGCT (14-bit), DAC3162IRGCT (12-bit), and DAC3161IRGCT (10-bit). Verify that the reduced resolution of these alternatives meets the application's accuracy requirements before substitution.
