DAC60004IDMDT

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC60004IDMDT is a quad-channel, true 12-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features an R-2R resistor ladder architecture and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V for both analog and digital domains. The device integrates four independent voltage outputs with a maximum power dissipation of 20 mW and a typical operating current of 4 mA. It supports serial communication via 3-Wire, 4-Wire, or SPI interfaces. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 5.8 µs, gain error of 0.05% FSR, and integral/differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB. It functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C in a compact VSON-14 package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Ultra-small form factor utilizing a VSON-14 package for space-constrained designs
• Integrated reset function allowing outputs to return to mid-scale upon initialization
• Serial data output (SDO) capability for daisy-chaining multiple devices
• True 12-bit resolution with guaranteed monotonicity and low nonlinearity errors

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Portable instrumentation requiring low power consumption
• Battery-powered measurement systems
• Industrial process control loops
• Data acquisition systems with limited board space

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IDMDT corresponds to the VSON-14 package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity classification as indicated in the datasheet. Validate that the supplier provides genuine components traceable to Texas Instruments to avoid counterfeit risks.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad-channel DAC with 12-bit precision is required in a minimal footprint. Compare against the DAC70004 if 14-bit resolution is necessary, noting the trade-off in complexity and potentially higher cost. Consider the DAC60004IPWR if a TSSOP-14 package is preferred over VSON-14 for assembly reasons. Verify interface compatibility with the host microcontroller's SPI or 3-wire protocol support.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC60004 series, which includes variants like the DAC60004IDMDR (reel packaging) and DAC60004IPWR (TSSOP package). All share identical electrical characteristics but differ in physical packaging and shipping format. The IDMDT specifically denotes the tape-and-reel or cut-tape availability in the VSON-14 case, distinguishing it from the tube-packaged IPW variants.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC60004IDMDR is a direct functional substitute differing only in packaging format (reel vs. cut tape/VSON handling). The DAC60004IPWR offers the same electrical performance in a TSSOP-14 package, suitable for different PCB layout constraints. No other cross-model replacements are confirmed without additional verification.
