DAC7616E/1K

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7616E/1K is a quad, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features an R-2R architecture with serial interface compatibility and voltage output. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V, consuming 2.4 mW of power. Key electrical parameters include a settling time of 10 µs, a sampling rate of 89 kS/s, and a gain error of 0.2% FSR. It supports a reset-to-mid-scale function and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a 20-SSOP package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent 12-bit DAC channels within a single compact package for space-constrained designs.
• Features a serial interface compatible with standard communication protocols to minimize pin count.
• Includes a hardware reset function that forces all outputs to mid-scale upon activation.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Portable instrumentation systems requiring low power consumption
• Battery-operated data acquisition modules
• Industrial process control signal generation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E/1K' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the reel packaging quantity and moisture sensitivity level. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact SSOP-20 variant required for your PCB footprint. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm compliance with current RoHS standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad-channel configuration is necessary but board space is limited. It is suitable for applications requiring moderate precision (12-bit) and low power operation under a single 3.3 V supply. Compare against the DAC7615 series if a wider 5 V supply range or different packaging options are preferred for the design.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC7616 family of precision analog output devices. It shares architectural similarities with the DAC7615 but differs primarily in its optimized low-voltage operation capabilities. The family is designed to provide cost-effective solutions for multi-channel signal generation in embedded systems.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC7616EB serves as a tube-packaged alternative within the same functional family. Designers may also consider the DAC7615 series if system requirements allow for a higher operating voltage range up to 5.25 V.
