DAC7541AKPG4

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7541AKPG4 is a low-cost, 12-bit CMOS four-quadrant multiplying digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features laser-trimmed thin-film resistors on a monolithic CMOS circuit to provide true 12-bit integral and differential linearity over the full specified temperature range. The device operates with a single +5V to +16V supply and includes TTL-/CMOS-compatible digital inputs. Key electrical specifications include a typical output current settling time of 0.6 µs, a propagation delay of 100 ns, and a maximum glitch impulse of 1000 nV-s. It is designed as a direct pin-for-pin replacement for industry standard parts such as the 7521, 7541, and 7541A.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or original manufacturer channels. Confirm that the specific package variant matches design requirements. Review datasheet revisions for any updates to absolute maximum ratings or thermal characteristics before finalizing procurement plans.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective 12-bit resolution is required for multiplying applications. Ensure the external operational amplifier selected has low bias current and offset voltage to minimize errors introduced by the DAC's output impedance modulation. Verify that the system power supply remains within the +5V to +16V range for guaranteed accuracy.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context
