DAC715PLG4

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC715PLG4 is a monolithic 16-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a high-speed parallel double-buffered interface and an integrated +10V temperature-compensated reference. The device provides a unipolar voltage output range of 0 to +10V when powered by ±12V or ±15V supplies. Key electrical specifications include a settling time of 10µs for a full-scale step, a gain error of ±0.1% FSR, and an offset error of ±0.1% FSR. Differential linearity error is specified at ±1 LSB maximum over the operating temperature range. The component operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and is housed in a 28-lead Plastic DIP package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Features a 16-bit parallel double-buffered data interface allowing simultaneous updates of multiple converters.
• Includes an internal +10V temperature-compensated voltage reference with external gain and offset adjustment capabilities.
• Provides an asynchronous clear function that immediately sets the analog output to half-scale.
• Offers indefinite short-circuit protection on the analog output amplifier.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• High-resolution industrial process control systems requiring precise analog signal generation.
• Automotive testing equipment utilizing synchronized multi-channel analog outputs.
• Precision instrumentation where low noise and high linearity are critical requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type and performance grade. The 'PL' designation indicates a Plastic DIP package with a 0°C to +70°C temperature range and ±1 LSB differential linearity. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead finish details via the manufacturer's current documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-bit resolution and a 0 to +10V unipolar output range are required. Ensure the application environment remains within the 0°C to +70°C specification limit. Verify that the system power supply can provide the necessary ±12V to ±15V rails and that the PCB layout supports the separate analog and digital ground requirements for optimal performance.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC715 family of 16-bit D/A converters from Burr-Brown, now part of Texas Instruments. The family includes various grades (P, PB, PK, PL) offering different linearity accuracies and temperature ranges. The DAC715PLG4 specifically represents the lower-cost commercial grade variant packaged in a standard plastic dual in-line format.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include the DAC715PK (±2 LSB linearity) or DAC715PB (±2 LSB linearity, extended temperature). For higher accuracy, the DAC715P or DAC715U variants offer ±4 LSB linearity but differ in temperature rating or package style.
