THS8136PHPR

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The THS8136PHPR is a triple 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from Texas Instruments, operating at sampling rates up to 180 MSPS. It features current-steering outputs designed to directly drive double-terminated 75-Ω loads into standard video levels. The device integrates an internal voltage reference and supports bi-level sync and blank level generation for RGB and YPbPr formats. It operates from a 3.3-V analog supply and a 1.8-V digital supply with 1.8-V compatible inputs. The component is housed in a 48-pin PowerPAD TQFP package.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Triple 10-bit DACs with 180-MSPS operation
• Direct drive capability for double-terminated 75-Ω coaxial cables
• Integrated internal voltage reference and bi-level sync/blanking generation
• Low-power operation using 3.3-V analog and 1.8-V digital supplies

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Applications

• Graphics and video generation
• High-resolution image processing
• Generic triple D/A converter systems

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PHPR' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format rather than the tray version. Confirm that the industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) aligns with system requirements, as opposed to the commercial grade variant. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact revision status indicated in the manufacturer's documentation.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component when direct drive of 75-Ω video loads is required without external amplification. The internal reference simplifies design by eliminating external precision voltage sources. Consider the 1.8-V digital interface compatibility for low-voltage logic systems. Verify that the 10-bit resolution and 180-MSPS speed meet the bandwidth and dynamic range specifications of the target application.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Part Context

The THS8136PHPR belongs to the THS8136 family of high-speed graphics and video DACs. It shares the same functional block diagram and pinout with the THS8136PHP, differing primarily in the shipping packaging configuration. The device is optimized for applications requiring synchronized RGB or YPbPr signal generation with integrated sync insertion capabilities.
