DAC60501ZDGSR

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC60501ZDGSR is a true 12-bit, single-channel digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a buffered voltage output and supports both SPI and I2C digital interfaces. The device operates on analog and digital supply voltages ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 5 µs, differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB, and a gain error of 0.04% per full-scale range. It is housed in a 10-pin VSSOP package and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates a precision internal reference voltage source for accurate output scaling without external components.
• Features a configurable digital interface allowing selection between standard SPI and I2C communication protocols via pin configuration.
• Includes a power-on reset circuit that initializes the DAC output to zero scale or mid-scale upon startup.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Data acquisition systems requiring high-resolution analog signal generation.
• Process analysis instrumentation for pH, gas, concentration, force, and humidity measurements.
• Calibration sources for LCD testing and semiconductor test equipment.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ZDGSR' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm the package type is VSSOP-10 and the tape-and-reel quantity matches project requirements. Ensure compatibility with the system's voltage levels and interface protocol settings before integration.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, 12-bit resolution is sufficient for the application. Compare DNL/INL specifications against other family members like the DAC80501 if higher precision is required. Confirm that the VSSOP-10 footprint fits the PCB layout constraints compared to the WSON-8 option.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DACx0501 series, which offers 12-bit (DAC60501), 14-bit (DAC70501), and 16-bit (DAC80501) variants. All members share similar low-power characteristics, R-2R architecture, and interface options, differing primarily in resolution and linearity accuracy.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC60501MDQFT serves as a functional alternative within the same series, offering identical electrical specifications but utilizing an 8-pin WSON package instead of the VSSOP-10 form factor. Pinout compatibility must be verified during substitution.
