DAC7573IPW

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7573IPW is a quad, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features an I2C digital interface and delivers buffered voltage outputs with a settling time of 10 microseconds. The device operates on a single power supply ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V for both analog and digital domains. It is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent 12-bit DAC channels within a single compact package.
• Utilizes a simple two-wire I2C serial interface for data input and control.
• Provides internal reference options and output buffering for direct drive capabilities.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring multi-channel signal generation
• Portable battery-powered instrumentation due to low power consumption
• Data acquisition systems needing precise analog voltage references

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the packaging type, as the IPW suffix indicates tube packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the official datasheet before integration. Ensure the I2C address configuration matches the system design requirements to avoid bus conflicts during deployment.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad-channel solution is required to save board space compared to single-channel alternatives. The 12-bit resolution balances precision with speed for general-purpose applications. Consider the TSSOP-16 footprint constraints and thermal dissipation characteristics relative to the expected ambient operating conditions.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC757x family of low-power, 12-bit digital-to-analog converters. The family shares common architectural features including I2C compatibility and similar pinouts across different channel counts. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to higher-resolution or faster-speed DACs in standard industrial applications.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC7573IPWR is the reel-based equivalent of this tube-packaged part. Other family members like the DAC7574 offer additional channels but may require different pin configurations. Verify electrical specifications against the DAC7578 if higher channel counts are needed.
