TLC7524CPW

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The TLC7524CPW is an 8-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It utilizes an R-2R resistor ladder architecture to convert parallel digital inputs into analog current outputs. The device features a single DAC channel with unbuffered current output capability and supports differential output configurations. It operates within a supply voltage range of 5V for digital logic and 14.5V to 15.5V for analog circuits. The component achieves a settling time of 100ns, ensuring rapid signal transitions. Integral nonlinearity (INL) is specified at ±0.5 LSB maximum, while differential nonlinearity (DNL) is rated at ±2.5 LSB maximum. It is housed in a 16-TSSOP package with a width of 4.40mm and functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPW' corresponds to the commercial temperature grade (0°C to 70°C) and TSSOP packaging when sourcing. Confirm that the required operating environment does not exceed these thermal limits, as industrial variants like the IPW offer extended ranges. Ensure the power supply rails match the specified 5V digital and 14.5V-15.5V analog requirements for proper operation.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit resolution with fast settling times is required for parallel input applications. Consider the unbuffered current output nature, which necessitates external circuitry for voltage conversion if voltage outputs are needed. Compare against industrial grade versions if the application environment exceeds 70°C or drops below 0°C. Verify compatibility with the system's digital logic levels and analog supply constraints before finalizing the design.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The TLC7524 belongs to a family of high-speed monolithic digital-to-analog converters designed for ease of interfacing with microprocessors and DSPs. The CPW designation specifically identifies the commercial temperature variant packaged in a 16-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package. This part serves as a bridge between digital control systems and analog output stages, providing precise current steering based on binary input codes.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The AD5424YRUZ is listed as a similar alternative component. Evaluate pinout compatibility and electrical specifications such as settling time and linearity errors before substitution. Ensure the replacement supports the required parallel interface and supply voltage ranges.
