TLV5620CN

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The TLV5620CN is a quad 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features four independent voltage outputs with a serial interface for data input. The device operates on a single 5 V supply, consuming approximately 8 mW of power. Key electrical specifications include a settling time of 10 µs and a sampling rate of 48 kS/s. Linearity performance is characterized by a differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±0.9 LSB and an integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB. The component is housed in a 14-pin PDIP package and supports through-hole mounting. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent 8-bit DAC channels within a single compact package.
• Utilizes a serial interface architecture to minimize control pin requirements.
• Employs a resistor-string structure to ensure stable voltage output generation.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Battery-powered instrumentation systems requiring low power consumption
• Programmable gain amplifier circuits
• Variable voltage reference applications

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required industrial or commercial specifications. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision to validate pinout compatibility and electrical limits before procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple independent low-resolution voltage outputs are required without external multiplexing. Compare channel count and resolution against alternatives like the TLV5623 if higher speed or different packaging is needed. Verify that the 5 V supply requirement aligns with the system's available power rails and that the serial interface timing meets the controller's capabilities.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the TLV5620 family of quadruple 8-bit DACs from Texas Instruments. It shares core architectural similarities with variants such as the TLV5620CD and TLC5620, differing primarily in packaging and specific operational parameters. The family is designed for general-purpose analog signal generation tasks where moderate precision and low cost are prioritized over high-speed conversion.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The TLV5620CD serves as a pin-compatible surface-mount alternative within the same series. For current-output applications, consider the TLV5627 family. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 8-bit resolution and serial interface protocol to ensure software compatibility.
