DAC7617UB

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7617UB is a quad-channel, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features an R-2R resistor ladder architecture and delivers voltage outputs with a sampling rate of 89 kS/s per channel. The device operates on a single 3.3 V supply for both analog and digital domains, consuming 2.4 mW of power. Key electrical specifications include a settling time of 10 µs, gain error of 0.2% FSR, and integral/non-linear errors of ±1 LSB. It utilizes a serial interface and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C in a 16-pin SOIC package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent 12-bit DAC channels within a single compact package.
• Features a reset function that returns all outputs to mid-scale upon initialization.
• Supports serial communication interfaces for efficient data transfer with microcontrollers.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Process control systems requiring multi-channel signal generation
• Battery-powered instrumentation due to low power consumption
• Industrial automation equipment needing precise voltage references

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and interface protocols before procurement. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements and storage conditions to maintain component integrity during handling.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires four synchronized 12-bit voltage outputs with moderate speed. Compare against the DAC7616 series for potential pin-compatible alternatives with different packaging options. Evaluate power budget constraints as the device draws 2.4 mW, suitable for energy-efficient applications.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the DAC761x family of precision digital-to-analog converters from Texas Instruments. It shares architectural similarities with the DAC7616 and DAC7615 but differs in supply voltage requirements and packaging configurations. The UB suffix typically denotes a specific thermal and mechanical variant within the standard SOIC-16 footprint.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC7616UB is a closely related variant within the same family, often serving as a direct functional substitute with identical electrical characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the replacement matches the required operating voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V.
