DAC60501ZDGST

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC60501ZDGST is a true 12-bit, single-channel voltage-output digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within an analog and digital supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The device features a buffered output with a settling time of 5 µs and supports both SPI and I2C serial interfaces. Key performance metrics include a differential nonlinearity (DNL) and integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB, a gain error of 0.04%/FSR, and a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 70 dB. It is housed in a 10-pin VSSOP package and functions across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Supports configurable 2-wire I2C and 3-wire SPI digital interfaces for flexible system integration.
• Provides a buffered voltage output capable of driving loads directly without external amplification.
• Integrates internal reference options alongside support for external reference inputs.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Data acquisition systems requiring precise analog signal generation
• Industrial process control loops
• Portable instrumentation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DGST corresponds to the VSSOP-10 package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to implementation. Ensure ESD protection protocols are followed during handling due to moisture sensitivity classification. Cross-reference the full part number against current datasheets to validate pinout compatibility.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high linearity with ±1 LSB INL/DNL specifications. The 12-bit resolution balances precision with power consumption in single-channel designs. Consider the VSSOP-10 footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts. Verify interface requirements match either SPI or I2C configurations available on the device.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC60501 series of low-power, high-precision voltage-output DACs. It shares architectural similarities with the DAC70501 and DAC80501, differing primarily in resolution and specific performance parameters. The ZDGST designation identifies the automotive-grade or extended industrial variant in the VSSOP package.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

DAC60501MDGSR offers the same functionality in a tape-and-reel packaging format. DAC60501ZDGSR provides equivalent electrical characteristics with reel-based distribution. Check datasheet revisions for any pinout or parameter updates before substitution.
