DAC60508ZCRTER

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC60508ZCRTER is a true 12-bit, 8-channel digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features an R-2R architecture with buffered voltage outputs and supports SPI interfaces. The device operates on analog supply voltages from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and digital supplies from 1.7 V to 5.5 V. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 5 µs, ±0.5 LSB INL/DNL, and 0.14% FSR gain error. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C in a 16-WQFN package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrated internal reference option alongside external reference capability for flexible design configurations.
• Reset function allows channels to return to mid-scale output levels upon initialization or command.
• Compact 16-WQFN footprint designed for space-constrained surface-mount applications.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Multi-channel data acquisition systems requiring high channel density.
• Industrial process control loops utilizing multiple analog outputs.
• Programmable signal generation in test and measurement equipment.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZCRTET against the official datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics match the design requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint, specifically the 16-WQFN (3x3) package dimensions. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if required by regional regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when eight independent 12-bit outputs are necessary within a single integrated circuit. The R-2R architecture provides consistent performance across the full scale. Consider the 5 µs settling time for bandwidth requirements. Verify that the SPI interface speed aligns with the system's communication bus capabilities and power supply constraints.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC60508 series, which offers multi-channel conversion solutions. It shares architectural similarities with the DAC80508 but differs in resolution, providing 12 bits instead of 16. The series targets applications needing moderate precision with high channel counts in a minimal physical footprint.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

DAC60508MCRTET is listed as a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same family. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. No other cross-manufacturer replacements are confirmed in public documentation.
