DAC6578SPW

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC6578SPW is an octal, 10-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a serial I2C interface and voltage-buffered outputs. The device operates on analog and digital supply voltages ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 12 µs, a sampling rate of 55.55 kS/s, and a typical operating current of 860 µA. Nonlinearity specifications are ±0.25 LSB for INL and ±0.03 LSB for DNL. It is housed in a 16-TSSOP package and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates eight independent 10-bit DAC channels with low glitch energy characteristics.
• Utilizes a simple two-wire I2C compatible serial interface for data input.
• Includes internal voltage reference and output buffers to minimize external component count.
• Supports reset to mid-scale functionality for controlled power-up states.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Process control systems requiring multi-channel signal generation
• Portable instrumentation with battery-powered constraints
• Industrial automation controllers needing isolated analog outputs

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PW' confirms the TSSOP-16 tube packaging variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the I2C address configuration matches your system bus topology before finalizing procurement orders.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this model when eight simultaneous 10-bit voltage outputs are required within a compact surface-mount footprint. Compare against the DAC7578 series if higher 12-bit resolution is necessary, or the DAC5578 series for improved linearity accuracy. Verify that the 55.55 kS/s update rate meets your application's bandwidth requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This component belongs to the DACx578 family of octal DACs, which shares architectural similarities but varies in resolution and accuracy. The DAC6578 specifically targets cost-sensitive applications where 10-bit precision is sufficient. It complements other Texas Instruments data converters designed for industrial and consumer electronics markets.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC6578SPWR serves as the reel-pack equivalent for automated assembly. For pin-compatible upgrades, consider the DAC7578SPW for increased resolution or the DAC5578SPW for enhanced linearity performance while maintaining the same package and interface.
