Product Overview
The DAC60508 is a Texas Instruments octal voltage-output DAC in the Signal_Chain category. It provides 12-bit resolution across 8 buffered voltage-output channels and communicates through an SPI-compatible serial interface. The serial interface supports up to a 50 MHz serial clock, daisy-chain operation, and CRC error checking.
The device operates from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V analog power supply, with a separate 1.7 V to 5.5 V digital interface supply through the VIO pin. It includes a 2.5 V internal reference with ±5 mV maximum initial accuracy and 5 ppm/°C drift. Selectable output gain settings of 1/2, 1, or 2 provide 1.25 V, 2.5 V, or 5 V full-scale output using the internal reference.
Assembly options include a 16-pin WQFN package measuring 3.00 mm x 3.00 mm and a 16-pin DSBGA package measuring 2.40 mm x 2.40 mm. The DAC60508 is specified for -40°C to 125°C operation and is suited to compact SPI-controlled multi-channel analog output functions.
