DAC707KP-3

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC707KP-3 is a microprocessor-compatible, 16-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features parallel word input loading and a settling time of 4 microseconds. The device is housed in a hermetically sealed, side-brazed ceramic DIP-28 package (CDIP28). It supports binary and two's complement input codes. The analog output voltage range spans from -10 V to +10 V, powered by a nominal negative supply of -15 V. The maximum linear error is specified at 0.003%. The component operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed ceramic construction for environmental stability
• Microprocessor-compatible parallel interface architecture
• High precision with low linear error specification

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Military and aerospace instrumentation systems
• Industrial process control loops requiring high reliability
• Test and measurement equipment demanding stable analog outputs

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix KP-3 against official datasheets to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics match the target design. Ensure compliance with export control classifications such as ECCN 3A001.A.2.C if applicable. Confirm that the hermetic seal integrity meets project requirements for harsh environments. Validate that the ceramic DIP-28 package dimensions fit the existing PCB footprint without modification.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-bit resolution and 4us settling time are required in a ruggedized, hermetic package. Compare against non-hermetic variants like the DAC707JP or DAC707KP if environmental sealing is not necessary. Consider the -55°C to +125°C operating range suitability for extreme industrial or military applications. Verify power supply requirements align with the -15V nominal negative rail specification.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The DAC707 series comprises 16-bit digital-to-analog converters designed for microprocessor interfaces. The DAC707KP-3 represents the hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line package variant. Other family members include plastic DIP versions such as the DAC707JP and DAC707KP. These devices share core conversion capabilities but differ in packaging and environmental ratings.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other hermetically sealed 16-bit DACs from Burr-Brown or Texas Instruments. Verify pin compatibility with DAC707JP or DAC707KP if hermetic sealing is not critical. Check for equivalent settling times and linearity specifications before substitution.
