DAC60508MRTET

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC60508MRTET is a true 12-bit, 8-channel digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It utilizes an R-2R architecture and features voltage buffered outputs with a settling time of 5 µs. The device supports SPI interfaces and operates on analog supply voltages ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and digital supply voltages from 1.7 V to 5.5 V. It provides integral nonlinearity and differential nonlinearity of ±0.5 LSB each, with a gain error of 0.14% FSR. Operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, it consumes 5 mA of current and dissipates 33 mW of power. The component is housed in a compact 16-WQFN package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrated reset function allows channels to return to mid-scale output levels upon initialization or command.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring multi-channel signal generation
• Programmable logic controller (PLC) analog output modules
• Data acquisition systems for sensor simulation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with system voltage requirements before procurement. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures are followed during storage and assembly.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple isolated analog outputs are required in a space-constrained design. The wide operating temperature range suits harsh industrial environments. Verify that the SPI interface timing meets the host microcontroller's capabilities. Consider the 16-WQFN footprint constraints during PCB layout planning.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This device belongs to the DAC60508 family of high-speed, low-power digital-to-analog converters. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the DAC60508ZRTET but differs in packaging and commercial/industrial grade variations. The family is designed for applications needing precise, multi-channel voltage generation with minimal external components.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

DAC60508MRTER serves as a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same product line. Both variants share identical electrical characteristics and pinouts, differing primarily in packaging configuration. Verify reel specifications and availability status before substitution.
