DAC60508ZCRTET

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC60508ZCRTET 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 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, gain error of 0.14% FSR, and both DNL and INL of ±0.5 LSB. It consumes 5 mA of operating current and dissipates 33 mW of power. The component is housed in a 16-WQFN package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Programmable signal generation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZCRTET against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm the WQFN-16 packaging and commercial grade temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels, as the digital interface requires 1.7 V to 5.5 V while the analog section needs 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly line processes before finalizing orders.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when high channel density is required in a small footprint. The 12-bit resolution and low nonlinearity errors make it suitable for precision applications. Consider the separate digital and analog supply rails if noise isolation is critical. The integrated buffers simplify circuit design by eliminating the need for external amplifiers.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC60508 family of 12-bit, 8-channel DACs from Texas Instruments. It shares core specifications with variants like the DAC60508ZRTET but differs in packaging and thermal characteristics. The family is designed for space-constrained industrial and communication equipment requiring multiple synchronized analog outputs.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC60508MCRTET is listed as a parameter-equivalent alternative. Verify pinout and electrical specifications match before substitution.
