TLC7524IPWG4

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The TLC7524IPWG4 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 differential output configuration and operates with a supply voltage range of 14.5V to 15.5V for both analog and digital sections, alongside a 5V logic interface. Key performance metrics include a maximum settling time of 100ns, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±0.5 LSB, and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±2.5 LSB. It is housed in a 16-TSSOP package and supports industrial temperature ranges from -25°C to 85°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Provides unbuffered current output via a differential pair structure.
• Supports fast control signaling suitable for direct microprocessor or DSP interfacing.
• Utilizes an external reference input for flexible voltage scaling.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring precise analog signal generation.
• Programmable gain amplifier circuits utilizing the differential output.
• Waveform generation applications such as function generators.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix G4 indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free construction per Texas Instruments standards. Confirm the package type matches the 16-TSSOP footprint requirements for your PCB layout. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -25°C to 85°C temperature range for the IPW variant.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit resolution with high-speed settling is required without internal buffering. The parallel interface simplifies connection to legacy microcontrollers. Consider the differential output capability if noise rejection is critical for the application. Verify that the external reference voltage source can drive the Vref pin adequately.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the TLC7524 family of monolithic DACs. The 'I' suffix denotes the industrial temperature grade (-25°C to 85°C), while 'PW' specifies the 16-TSSOP surface-mount package. The 'G4' suffix typically signifies Green/RoHS-compliant manufacturing. It serves as a cost-effective solution for general-purpose digital-to-analog conversion tasks.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The TLC7524CFNR is a documented alternative offering similar 8-bit performance in a 20-PLCC package. Note that pinouts and physical dimensions differ between TSSOP and PLCC packages, requiring board redesign if substituting. Other parallel DACs like the DAC0832 are functionally related but lack pin compatibility.
