DAC7513E/250G4

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7513E/250G4 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 serial input interfaces including SPI, QSPI, Microwire, and DSP modes. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, consuming typical power of 345 µW at 3 V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum settling time of 10 µs, an integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±8 LSB, and a differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB. It is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the G4 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free manufacturing status as per Texas Instruments documentation. Confirm the E variant denotes extended industrial temperature performance. Ensure the specific tape-and-reel quantity matches production requirements. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure alignment with current design specifications.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel 12-bit resolution is required with rail-to-rail output drive capabilities. It is appropriate for designs needing low power consumption under 350 µW. Consider the VSSOP-8 package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the serial interface timing meets the system clock requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC751x family of low-power, 12-bit serial input DACs. It shares architectural similarities with the DAC7512 but differs in settling time and specific pinout configurations. The G4 suffix typically denotes environmental compliance updates within the same functional family.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the DAC7513N/250G4 for SOT-23-8 packaging or the DAC7513E/2K5 for VSSOP-8 packaging with identical electrical characteristics. Higher resolution alternatives like the DAC8531 offer 16-bit precision but may require different power management strategies.
