DAC43608RTER

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC43608RTER is an eight-channel, voltage-output, 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from Texas Instruments. It operates with a wide supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V for both analog and digital power domains. The device features a serial I2C interface and includes user-programmable power-down registers for each channel. Key electrical specifications include a typical settling time of 10µs, a maximum integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB, and a maximum differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB. Each channel draws a static current of 0.1mA during normal operation.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Eight independent channels with buffered voltage outputs
• Monotonic performance across the full temperature range
• Flexible external reference input for programmable output swing
• Per-channel power-down control for reduced standby consumption

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Process control systems requiring multi-channel signal generation
• Portable instrumentation with low power constraints
• Battery-powered data acquisition modules
• Industrial automation controllers

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RTER indicates the reel packaging format when ordering. Confirm that the external reference voltage matches the desired output span, as the DAC requires an external reference source. Ensure the I2C bus speed and pull-up resistors are compatible with the system design requirements before finalizing procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when eight synchronized voltage outputs are needed in a compact footprint. The 10-bit resolution balances cost and precision for general-purpose applications. Consider the 16-WQFN package for space-constrained PCB layouts. Verify that the 1.8V minimum supply voltage aligns with the system's available power rails.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DACx3608 family, which also includes the DAC43608 variant. Both share identical pinouts and functional architectures but differ in internal reference configurations or accuracy grades. The DAC43608RTER specifically denotes the 10-bit version with the tape-and-reel packaging option for automated assembly.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC53608RTER serves as a direct functional substitute within the same package and pinout configuration. Both devices offer eight channels and I2C interfaces. Verify that the specific accuracy parameters of the replacement meet the application's tolerance requirements.
