DAC7512E/2K5

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7512E/2K5 is a single-channel, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a resistor-string architecture with rail-to-rail voltage output and serial input compatibility with SPI, DSP, Microwire, and QSPI interfaces. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V for both analog and digital domains. Key electrical specifications include a sampling rate of 95 kS/s, a settling time of 10 µs, and a maximum power consumption of 345 µW. It is housed in an 8-VSSOP package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging type and reel quantity. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for the intended market. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity before procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel 12-bit resolution is required with low power constraints. Consider the 8-VSSOP package size for space-constrained designs. Verify that the serial interface timing matches the host microcontroller capabilities. Check if the rail-to-rail output swing meets the system's voltage range requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC7512 family of low-power, 12-bit digital-to-analog converters. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the DAC7513 but differs in channel count or specific interface optimizations. The E/2K5 suffix indicates a specific tape-and-reel packaging configuration within the broader product line.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same family include the DAC7512E/250. Other potential substitutes may include the DAC7512N variants, though package differences must be accounted for. Always verify electrical parameters and interface compatibility before substitution.
