DAC60508ZRTER – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The DAC60508ZRTET is a Texas Instruments 16-bit, voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) housed in a compact 10-pin, 3x3mm WSON package. Operating from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply, it boasts a ±0.5LSB integral nonlinearity error and a typical settling time of 1µs. This device features a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for flexible digital control, supporting both 3-wire and 4-wire modes with selectable clock frequencies. Its output voltage range is fully scalable, configurable through internal registers, typically spanning 0V to VREF, where VREF can be externally set._x000D_

The DAC60508ZRTET’s low power consumption (typically <1mW) and high precision make it ideal for applications requiring precise analog signal generation in space-constrained designs. Common use cases include high-resolution waveform generation, precision current control via external op-amps, and digital potentiometer emulation in instrumentation and industrial control systems. Its internal offset and gain calibration features significantly simplify system calibration procedures, reducing overall design complexity and improving accuracy compared to simpler DAC architectures. The device's robust SPI interface allows for seamless integration into microcontroller-based systems.
