DAC53608RTET

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC53608RTET is a low-power, eight-channel, voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a 10-bit resolution and utilizes an I2C-compatible serial interface for data input. The device operates within a wide supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V for both analog and digital domains. It employs a string architecture with buffered outputs and requires an external reference. Key electrical specifications include a settling time of 10µs, integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB maximum, and a gain error of 0.25%/FSR. The component supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and is housed in a 16-WQFN package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Eight independent channels with individual user-programmable power-down registers for per-channel control
• I2C-compatible serial interface supporting standard and fast modes with multiple address options
• Voltage-buffered outputs capable of driving loads directly without additional amplification
• Monotonic operation ensured across the full temperature range for stable closed-loop performance

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Portable instrumentation requiring multi-channel signal generation
• Battery-powered systems utilizing low quiescent current capabilities
• Industrial process control loops needing precise voltage references
• Programmable gain amplifier biasing networks

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix RTET indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the specific revision level matches design requirements. Ensure the external reference voltage source aligns with the 1.8V to 5.5V input range. Check RoHS compliance status for regulatory adherence. Validate pinout compatibility with the target PCB footprint before finalizing procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when eight isolated voltage outputs are required from a single IC. Choose the 10-bit resolution variant over the 8-bit DAC43608 if higher precision is necessary. Consider the external reference requirement compared to internal reference devices. Evaluate the 16-WQFN package size against available board space constraints. Verify I2C bus speed compatibility with the host microcontroller.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DACx3608 family of low-power DACs from Texas Instruments. The DAC53608 specifically denotes the 10-bit resolution version, distinct from the 8-bit DAC43608. The RTET suffix identifies the reel packaging format, differing from the RTER cut-tape variant. All members share the same core architecture and pinout configuration.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC43608 offers identical functionality with 8-bit resolution. The DAC53608E provides similar specs with potential environmental certification differences. Verify pin-for-pin compatibility before substitution. Review datasheet updates for any architectural changes in newer revisions.
