DAC3171IRGCR

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC3171IRGCR is a single-channel, high-speed digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a resolution of 14 bits and supports a sampling rate of 500 MS/s. The device utilizes a parallel interface for data input and provides a current source output type. It operates with analog supply voltages of 1.8 V and 3.3 V, while the digital supply voltage is 1.8 V. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 11 ns, a differential nonlinearity (DNL) of 1 LSB, and an integral nonlinearity (INL) of 2 LSB. The part 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

• High-speed conversion capability at 500 MS/s with 14-bit resolution
• Low power consumption design suitable for energy-efficient applications
• Integrated internal reference voltage of 1.2 V

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Software-defined radio systems

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' indicates tape and reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the component meets RoHS standards as listed in official specifications. Ensure compatibility with the required VQFN-64 footprint during PCB layout. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly processing.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this model when a single channel with 14-bit precision is required at high speeds. Compare against the DAC3161 if 12-bit resolution is sufficient for lower cost. Consider the DAC3171IRGCT if cut-tape packaging is preferred over reel quantities. Verify interface compatibility with the host processor's parallel data bus.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This component belongs to the DAC3171 series from Texas Instruments, designed for high-performance signal generation. It shares the same core architecture and pinout with the DAC3171IRGCT variant, differing primarily in packaging format. The series is engineered for demanding RF and communication applications requiring precise waveform synthesis.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC3171IRGCT serves as a direct functional substitute with identical electrical characteristics, differing only in packaging style. Other members of the DAC31xx family may offer different resolutions or channel counts but require circuit redesign.
