TLV5636IDRG4

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The TLV5636IDRG4 is a single-channel, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a resistor-string architecture and operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V for both analog and digital domains. The device supports serial interfaces including SPI, Microwire, and QSPI. Key electrical specifications include a settling time of 3.5 µs, a sampling rate of 233 kS/s, and a power consumption of 4.5 mW. Differential nonlinearity is specified at ±0.5 LSB, while integral nonlinearity is ±2 LSB. It is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DRG4' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS status. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact package type and temperature grade required for the design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision history to confirm any updates to electrical characteristics or recommended operating conditions before finalizing procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, 12-bit resolution DAC is required with low power consumption under 5 mW. It is appropriate for designs utilizing standard serial interfaces like SPI. Consider the 3.5 µs settling time and 233 kS/s update rate for bandwidth requirements. Verify that the VSSOP-8 package fits the PCB layout constraints and that the 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply range aligns with the system power rails.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the TLV5636 series of low-power, single-supply DACs from Texas Instruments. The 'IDR' designation indicates the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and the VSSOP-8 package. The 'G4' suffix typically denotes lead-free construction and compliance with specific environmental standards defined by the manufacturer. This series is designed for cost-sensitive, space-constrained applications.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Check the TLV5636 datasheet for listed equivalent parts or family members such as the TLV5638 for dual-channel requirements. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if substituting with other 12-bit DACs from different manufacturers. Confirm that interface timing parameters and output drive capabilities match the original design specifications.
