DAC7624P

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC7624P is a quad, 12-bit voltage output digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Burr-Brown. It features a serial interface for data input and includes an on-chip precision reference. The device operates with a single supply voltage and provides four independent analog outputs. Key electrical parameters include a resolution of 12 bits, a serial clock frequency up to 30 MHz, and a settling time of 5 microseconds. The component is housed in a 28-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP) suitable for through-hole mounting.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Quad channel architecture providing four independent 12-bit DAC outputs
• Serial interface compatible with standard microprocessor protocols
• Integrated precision voltage reference for stable operation
• Single-supply operation capability

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring multi-channel signal generation
• Portable instrumentation with battery-powered constraints
• Automotive test equipment needing precise voltage references
• Data acquisition systems utilizing serial communication buses

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P' indicates the PDIP package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older Burr-Brown parts may vary. Check for obsolescence notices from Texas Instruments, the current manufacturer of the Burr-Brown line. Ensure the serial interface timing matches the host controller's capabilities.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when four isolated 12-bit outputs are required in a single package. Compare against the DAC7624E for leaded vs. tape-and-reel packaging options. Consider the DAC7624U for surface-mount applications if board space is limited. Verify that the 5-microsecond settling time meets the system's update rate requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The DAC7624P belongs to the Burr-Brown DAC762x family of quad DACs. This series is designed for general-purpose analog output applications. The part is part of Texas Instruments' extensive portfolio following the acquisition of Burr-Brown. It serves as a legacy option for designs requiring through-hole mounting of quad DACs.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC7624U is the surface-mount equivalent using a SOIC-28 package. The DAC7624E is the same device but supplied in tape and reel format. Verify pin compatibility before substitution to ensure mechanical fit.
