DAC60508MCRTET

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC60508MCRTET is a true 12-bit, 8-channel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It utilizes an R-2R architecture and features buffered voltage outputs accessible via a standard SPI interface. The device operates with an analog supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and a digital supply voltage from 1.7 V to 5.5 V. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 5 µs, a typical operating current of 5 mA, and power consumption of 33 mW. Linearity specifications are defined by a differential nonlinearity (DNL) and integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±0.5 LSB, with a gain error of 0.14% FSR. It is housed in a compact 16-WQFN package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrated buffered voltage outputs for direct drive capability
• Compact 16-WQFN package design for space-constrained applications
• Built-in reset function to initialize outputs to mid-scale

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Portable instrumentation systems requiring multi-channel signal generation
• Battery-powered test and measurement equipment
• Industrial process control loops with multiple analog outputs

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MCR' against the target datasheet revision to ensure compatibility with required packaging options such as cut tape or reel quantities. Confirm that the 16-WQFN footprint matches the PCB layout constraints and that the thermal pad connection requirements are addressed during assembly planning.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when eight independent 12-bit channels are necessary within a single integrated circuit. The wide digital supply range down to 1.7 V supports low-voltage logic interfaces, while the 5.5 V analog limit allows flexibility in reference voltage selection. Ensure the system can accommodate the specified ±0.5 LSB linearity limits for the intended application accuracy.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC60508 family of high-density digital-to-analog converters.
