DAC7615P

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7615P is a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Burr-Brown. It features a parallel word input interface and utilizes a PDIP-28 package. The device exhibits a settling time of 7 microseconds. It supports binary, offset binary, and two's complement input codes. The analog output voltage range spans from -10 V to +10 V. Maximum linear error is specified at 0.018%. The component operates with supply voltages of 5 V and ±12 V or ±15 V. It functions as a single-channel D/A converter within the analog mixed-signal IC category.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Provides high-resolution 12-bit digital-to-analog conversion capabilities for precision applications.
• Supports multiple digital input coding formats including binary, offset binary, and two's complement.
• Delivers wide bipolar analog output voltage swing suitable for diverse signal conditioning needs.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring precise analog signal generation.
• Data acquisition systems utilizing parallel microprocessor interfaces.
• Test and measurement equipment needing stable analog reference outputs.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as Burr-Brown was acquired by Texas Instruments. Confirm the specific suffix 'V' if present in your source documentation, as it may indicate temperature grade or packaging variations distinct from the standard 'P' variant. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your project specifications, noting that older Burr-Brown parts may have different regulatory statuses.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a parallel interface is preferred over serial alternatives like the DAC7611P. The 7-microsecond settling time and 0.018% linearity make it suitable for moderate-speed applications. Consider the PDIP-28 package constraints for board space. Compare against the DAC715 series if higher 16-bit resolution is required, though pinout and interface differences must be accounted for during design integration.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the Burr-Brown family of precision data converters. It shares functional similarities with other 12-bit DACs but is distinguished by its parallel bus interface and specific 7us settling performance. The device represents the legacy Burr-Brown engineering standards prior to full integration into the Texas Instruments portfolio, often found in established industrial designs.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC7615P is functionally similar to the DAC7615U (SOIC-28) regarding electrical characteristics. For direct pin-compatible replacements, verify availability of the TI-branded equivalent. Serial interface DACs such as the DAC7611P require significant circuit redesign due to interface differences and are not direct substitutes.
