DAC63204RTET

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC63204RTET is a quad-channel, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter featuring buffered voltage and current outputs. It operates on a single supply from 1.7 V to 5.5 V with an operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. The device supports I2C, PMBus, and SPI interfaces with automatic detection. Key electrical parameters include a settling time of 20 µs, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±4 LSB, and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB. Gain error is specified at ±0.5% FSR. The component is housed in a 16-pin WQFN package measuring 3 mm × 3 mm.

• Standard notebook PC

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'RTET' against the manufacturer's latest orderable addendum to confirm packaging details and availability status. Ensure that the required interface protocols and reference voltage configurations align with the system design before finalizing procurement. Cross-reference the datasheet revision history for any updates to electrical characteristics or pin functions.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12-bit resolution with four independent channels is required for precision applications. Consider the internal reference accuracy and low power consumption if battery-operated or thermally constrained designs are involved. Verify that the WQFN-16 package size fits the PCB layout constraints and that the thermal resistance metrics meet the system's heat dissipation requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The DAC63204 is part of the DACx3204 family, which includes pin-compatible 10-bit (DAC53204) and 8-bit (DAC43204) variants. This family shares common features such as smart DAC capabilities, auto-detected interfaces, and NVM support. The RTET suffix indicates the specific tape-and-reel packaging format used for surface-mount assembly.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible alternatives within the same family include the DAC53204 and DAC43204, offering lower resolutions. For automotive applications, verify compatibility with the DACx3204-Q1 variants which meet AEC-Q100 standards. Ensure that any substitute maintains the required 12-bit resolution and quad-channel architecture.
