DAC7617E

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7617E is a quad-channel, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features an R-2R resistor string architecture and delivers voltage outputs with a settling time of 10 microseconds. The device operates on a single 5V supply within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical specifications include a gain error of 0.2% FSR, differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB, and integral nonlinearity of ±1 LSB. It utilizes a serial interface for data input and is housed in a 20-pin SSOP package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent 12-bit DAC channels within a single compact package
• Supports serial communication interfaces for simplified microcontroller connectivity
• Includes internal reset functionality to initialize outputs to mid-scale levels

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring multi-channel signal generation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel options. Ensure compatibility with required operating temperatures and supply voltages before procurement. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling procedures.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple low-resolution analog outputs are needed from a single source. Compare performance metrics such as settling time and linearity against higher-resolution alternatives if precision is critical. Confirm that the serial interface timing matches the host controller capabilities.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC761x family of quad-channel converters. It shares architectural similarities with the DAC7615 but differs in resolution and specific interface configurations. The series targets applications balancing channel count with moderate accuracy requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the DAC7615E and DAC7617UB. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment, particularly regarding supply voltage ranges and output drive capabilities, before implementing any cross-references.
