DAC53004RTET

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC53004RTET is a quad-channel, ultra-low-power smart digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from Texas Instruments. It features 10-bit resolution with 1 LSB INL and DNL in voltage-output mode. The device supports both buffered voltage outputs and current outputs ranging from 25 μA to 250 μA. It operates on a single supply voltage of 1.7 V to 5.5 V and includes an internal reference. Key specifications include a settling time of 20 μs, a typical quiescent current of 35 μA per channel in voltage-output mode, and support for I²C, PMBus™, and SPI interfaces with automatic detection. The component is housed in a 16-pin WQFN package measuring 3 mm × 3 mm.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Supports programmable voltage or current outputs with flexible configuration options including multiple gain settings.
• Features auto-detected I²C, PMBus™, or SPI interface compatibility with a 50-MHz SPI-compatible clock rate.
• Includes user-programmable nonvolatile memory (NVM) for storing configurations and predefined waveform generation capabilities.
• Provides high-impedance output during power-off conditions and supports multiple power-down modes for low power consumption.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Land mobile radio biasing and calibration
• Pulse oximeter signal processing
• Optical module control
• Standard notebook PC peripheral management

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'RTER' versus 'RTET' against the manufacturer's official orderable addendum to ensure correct packaging format. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required reel or cut-tape quantity specifications for your assembly process. Always cross-reference the latest datasheet revision to ensure compliance with any updated mechanical or electrical parameters before finalizing procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad-channel DAC with ultra-low power consumption is required for battery-operated devices. Ensure the application can accommodate the 10-bit resolution limits and the specific output impedance characteristics. Verify that the system interface logic levels are compatible with the auto-detected communication protocols. Consider the thermal performance within the small WQFN package if operating at maximum temperature ranges.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The DAC53004RTET belongs to the DACx3004 family, which also includes the 12-bit DAC63004. These devices are pin-compatible and share similar functional blocks, differing primarily in resolution. This family is designed for applications requiring design reuse and processor-less operation through embedded NVM and GPIO functions. The RTET suffix indicates a specific tape-and-reel packaging option provided by Texas Instruments.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC63004RTET is a pin-compatible alternative offering 12-bit resolution instead of 10-bit. Other members of the DACx3004 family may serve as substitutes if resolution requirements differ. Verify that any replacement maintains the same package dimensions and pinout configuration to ensure board compatibility without redesign.
