DAC716U/1K

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC716U/1K is a monolithic 16-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a serial data interface, an internal +10V temperature-compensated voltage reference, and a current-to-voltage amplifier. The device provides a unipolar output voltage range of 0 to +10V when powered by ±12V to ±15V supplies. Key electrical parameters include a settling time of 6 µs for a 20V step and 4 µs for a 1LSB step. Gain error is specified at ±0.1% FSR with a power supply sensitivity of ±0.003% FSR/%VCC. The component operates within a temperature range of –40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 16-lead plastic SOIC package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrated precision internal voltage reference and high-speed synchronous serial interface
• Double-buffered data latches enabling simultaneous updates across multiple converters
• Asynchronous clear function that immediately resets the output voltage to zero
• External gain and offset adjustment capabilities via potentiometers or external DACs

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• High-resolution industrial process control systems
• Precision instrumentation requiring low noise and high linearity
• Multi-channel data acquisition systems with synchronized updating needs

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. The '/1K' designation indicates a reel packaging quantity of 1000 units. Ensure compatibility with existing system power supply rails and logic levels before procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 16-bit resolution with a wide unipolar output swing. Consider the ±12V to ±15V supply requirement and the need for separate analog and digital ground planes to maintain performance. Evaluate the serial interface timing constraints against the host controller's clock speed.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC716 series, which includes variants such as the DAC716P, DAC716PB, and DAC716UK. These devices share the same core architecture but differ in package style (DIP vs. SOIC) and specified temperature ranges. The DAC716U/1K specifically denotes the active SOIC variant intended for surface-mount assembly.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the DAC716UB/1K, which shares the SOIC package and active status. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure that any substitute meets the required ±40°C to +85°C operating temperature specification.
