DAC7513N/250

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7513N/250 is a single-channel, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a resistor-string architecture with a sampling rate of 95 kS/s and a maximum settling time of 10 µs. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V for both analog and digital domains. It utilizes a serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI, Microwire, and DSP standards. The output is rail-to-rail and voltage-buffered, housed in an 8-pin SOT-23 package suitable for surface mount installation across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Low-power operation with rail-to-rail output capability

• Voltage-buffered output for direct drive applications

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Battery-powered instrumentation systems
• Portable medical devices requiring low power consumption
• Process control loops with single-supply requirements

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing serial protocol configurations before integration into production designs.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel 12-bit resolution is required within a compact SOT-23 footprint. Consider the 95 kS/s update rate and 10 µs settling time for bandwidth constraints. Verify that the external reference voltage matches the desired output swing range.

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 pin count and package configuration. The N suffix typically denotes the SOT-23-8 package variant.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC7513N/250G4 is a verified lead-free equivalent within the same product line. Cross-reference with other members of the DAC751x series for potential functional substitutes if package or channel count variations are acceptable.
