DAC7617E/1KG4

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7617E/1KG4 is a quad, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features an R-2R resistor ladder architecture and serial input interface. The device operates on a single 3.3V supply with a maximum voltage of 3.6V. Key electrical parameters include a settling time of 10 microseconds, a sample rate of 89 kS/s, and a typical power consumption of 2.4 mW. Gain error is specified at 0.2% FSR, while differential and integral nonlinearity are both +/- 1 LSB. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent 12-bit voltage output channels within a single compact package.
• Supports serial communication for simplified microcontroller interfacing.
• Includes a reset function that returns outputs to mid-scale upon initialization.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Portable instrumentation systems requiring low power consumption
• Battery-operated data acquisition devices
• Industrial process control loops

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Cross-reference the full part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity before procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad-channel solution is required alongside strict power constraints. The 3.3V operation makes it suitable for modern low-voltage logic systems. Verify that the 12-bit resolution and 89 kS/s update rate meet the system bandwidth requirements. Consider the SOIC-16 footprint during PCB layout planning.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC7617 family of precision digital-to-analog converters. It serves as a multi-channel alternative to single-channel DACs, reducing board space. The E/1KG4 designation indicates a specific commercial grade variant with a 16-pin SOIC package and reel packaging configuration.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC7617E is a direct functional equivalent. For pin-compatible alternatives, consider the DAC7615 series, though verify voltage ranges and channel counts carefully.
