DAC5573IPW

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC5573IPW is a quad-channel, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a resistor-string architecture with buffered voltage outputs and an I2C interface. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V for both analog and digital domains. Key electrical specifications include a sampling rate of 188 kS/s, a settling time of 12 µs, and a typical power consumption of 3.4 mW. Nonlinearity performance is specified at ±0.25 LSB for integral nonlinearity (INL) and ±0.1 LSB for differential nonlinearity (DNL). The component is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent 8-bit DAC channels within a single compact package.
• Utilizes a low-power resistor-string architecture for stable voltage output generation.
• Supports standard two-wire I2C communication protocol for simplified system integration.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Portable instrumentation systems requiring multi-channel signal generation
• Battery-powered devices utilizing low-voltage operation
• Industrial control loops needing buffered analog outputs

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with I2C bus voltage levels matching the 2.7 V to 5.5 V operating range. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer documentation prior to procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when four independent 8-bit channels are required in a space-constrained design. Consider the 12 µs settling time for applications with moderate speed requirements. Evaluate the 3.4 mW power consumption against battery life constraints in portable equipment designs.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC5573 family of quad-channel DACs. It shares architectural similarities with the DAC6573 but offers lower resolution. The IPW suffix indicates a 16-pin TSSOP package suitable for surface-mount assembly. It serves as a cost-optimized solution for general-purpose analog output needs.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC5573IPWR is the reel-packaged equivalent of the tube-packed DAC5573IPW. Verify pinout compatibility if substituting with other quad-channel DACs from the same manufacturer series.
