DAC60508MCYZFR

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC60508MCYZFR is a true 12-bit, 8-channel digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features an R-2R architecture with voltage buffered outputs and supports SPI interface communication. The device operates within an analog supply range of 2.7V to 5.5V and a digital supply range of 1.7V to 5.5V. Key electrical specifications include a settling time of 5 µs, a maximum power consumption of 33 mW, and a typical operating current of 5 mA. Linearity performance is characterized by ±1 LSB DNL and INL, with a gain error of 0.05%/FSR. It accommodates external or internal reference voltages between 1.2V and 5.5V and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C in a 16-DSBGA package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Provides eight independent 12-bit channels with voltage buffered outputs for direct drive capability.
• Supports flexible reference configurations allowing both external and internal reference voltage inputs.
• Integrates a reset function to mid-scale output levels for defined startup states.
• Utilizes a compact 16-pin DSBGA package suitable for space-constrained surface-mount designs.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Multi-channel data acquisition systems requiring precise analog signal generation.
• Industrial process control loops utilizing multiple sensor simulation or actuator drives.
• Portable instrumentation where low power consumption and small form factor are critical.
• Automotive electronic control units operating under extended temperature conditions.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FR' indicates reel packaging when sourcing components. Confirm that the manufacturer part number matches exactly to ensure correct pinout and electrical characteristics. Check RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Ensure compatibility with existing SPI bus protocols in the target system design before finalizing procurement orders.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when eight simultaneous 12-bit conversions are required in a minimal footprint. Consider the R-2R architecture benefits for speed and linearity stability. Evaluate the 5 µs settling time against system bandwidth requirements. Compare gain error specifications with other family members if higher precision is needed, noting that variants like DAC60508MYZFR offer tighter tolerances.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This device belongs to the DAC60508 series of high-speed, low-power digital-to-analog converters. It shares architectural similarities with other members such as DAC60508MYZFR and DAC60508ZYZFR, differing primarily in accuracy grades and reference options. The MC variant specifically targets applications balancing cost, size, and moderate precision requirements within the broader Texas Instruments DAC portfolio.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

DAC60508MCYZFT serves as a tape-and-reel alternative with identical electrical specifications. DAC60508MYZFR offers improved linearity performance (±0.5 LSB) but may require verification of pin compatibility. DAC60508ZYZFR provides similar accuracy to the MY variant. Verify package dimensions and thermal characteristics when substituting with these alternatives.
