DAC63204RTER

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC63204RTER is a quad-channel, 12-bit smart digital-to-analog converter from Texas Instruments. It features buffered voltage and current outputs with flexible configuration options. The device supports I2C, PMBus, and SPI interfaces with automatic detection. Key electrical parameters include a supply voltage range of 1.7 V to 5.5 V, settling time of 20 µs (voltage) or 60 µs (current), and integral nonlinearity of ±4 LSB. It operates within a temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and is housed in a 16-pin WQFN package.

• Standard notebook PC

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'RTER' against the manufacturer's official orderable addendum to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging quantity and reel diameter. Ensure the component matches the required RoHS compliance status and lead-free specifications as defined in the latest datasheet revision. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and production status before procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad-channel solution with high precision (12-bit) and low power consumption is required. The internal reference and NVM simplify designs by reducing external component count. Consider the 16-pin WQFN package constraints for thermal management and PCB layout. Verify that the required output impedance and settling times meet the system specifications for voltage margining or biasing applications.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The DAC63204RTER belongs to the DACx3204 family, which includes pin-compatible 10-bit (DAC53204) and 8-bit (DAC43204) variants. This family shares identical functional blocks and interface logic, differing primarily in resolution and associated linearity specifications. The RTE suffix denotes the 16-pin WQFN package type used across the series.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible alternatives within the same family include DAC53204RTER (10-bit) and DAC43204RTER (8-bit). These parts share the same package and interface but offer lower resolution. Ensure that the reduced bit depth meets the application's accuracy requirements before substitution.
