DAC7616UB

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7616UB is a dual, low-power, 12-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features an internal reference and output amplifiers, enabling single-supply operation from 2.7V to 5.5V. The device communicates via a standard three-wire serial interface compatible with SPI and QSPI protocols. It includes power-on reset circuitry to ensure outputs initialize to zero-scale upon power-up. The UB package variant utilizes a small-outline integrated circuit format designed for space-constrained applications requiring precise analog signal generation.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrated precision reference and output amplifiers eliminate external component requirements
• Low-power architecture supports battery-operated systems with minimal current consumption
