DAC7513E/250

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7513E/250 is a single-channel, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a resistor-string architecture with rail-to-rail output capability and operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The device supports serial interfaces including SPI, QSPI, Microwire, and DSP modes at clock rates up to 60 MHz. Key electrical specifications include a settling time of 10 µs, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±8 LSB maximum, and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB maximum. It is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Rail-to-rail buffered analog output stage for direct interfacing without external amplification
• Flexible serial interface compatibility with standard communication protocols
• Low power consumption suitable for battery-operated applications
• High accuracy performance with guaranteed monotonicity

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Portable instrumentation and measurement devices
• Battery-powered data acquisition systems
• Process control loops requiring precise voltage regulation
• Programmable gain amplifiers and variable reference sources

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates the VSSOP-8 package variant distinct from other packaging options like SOT-23. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per current manufacturer documentation. Ensure ordering quantities match the specified reel or cut tape availability directly from authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit risks.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, 12-bit resolution is required with low power constraints. Compare against the DAC7512 series if different pinout or settling time characteristics are needed. Verify that the serial interface timing requirements align with the host microcontroller's capabilities before finalizing the design.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC751x family of low-power, 12-bit digital-to-analog converters. It shares architectural similarities with the DAC7512 but differs in packaging and specific mechanical dimensions. The E suffix typically denotes the VSSOP-8 package, distinguishing it from the N suffix variants which may use SOT-23 packages.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same family include the DAC7512E/250, though settling times may vary. Cross-reference with DAC7513N/250 if SOT-23 packaging is acceptable instead of VSSOP. Ensure functional equivalence regarding serial protocol support and output drive capability before substitution.
