Product Overview

The DAC60501 is a Texas Instruments 12-bit voltage-output DAC in the Signal_Chain category. The extracted device data specifies 12-bit resolution, INL of -1 to 1 LSB, DNL of -1 to 1 LSB, and total unadjusted error of -0.1%FSR minimum, 0.04%FSR typical, and 0.1%FSR maximum for DAC70501 and DAC60501 conditions.

The device operates from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V recommended VDD range and supports a -40°C to 125°C free-air operating range. It integrates a 2.5 V precision internal reference with 5 ppm/°C maximum temperature drift, while also supporting internal-default or external reference configuration for DAC60501Z and DAC60501M variants.

Available package options are DGS 10-pin VSSOP and DQF 8-pin WSON. Thermal data is provided for both packages, including junction-to-ambient resistance of 170.1°C/W for DGS and 122.6°C/W for DQF. Digital connectivity includes SPI-compatible 3-wire operation up to 50 MHz and I2C standard, fast, and fast mode plus data rates.
