Texas Instruments DACx3004 Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs)

Texas Instruments DACx3004 Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) are 12-bit (DAC63004) and 10-bit (DAC53004) quad-channel, buffered, voltage-output, and current-output smart DACs. These DACx3004 support Hi-Z power-down mode and Hi-Z output during the power-off condition. The DAC outputs provide a force-sense option for use as a programmable comparator and current sink. The multifunction GPIO, function generation, and NVM enable these smart DACs for processor-less applications and design reuse. These devices automatically detect I2C, PMBus, and SPI interfaces and contain an internal reference.

The feature set of the Texas Instruments DACx3004, combined with the tiny package and ultra-low power, make these smart DACs an excellent choice for applications such as land mobile radios, pulse oximeters, notebook PCs, and other battery-operated applications for biasing, calibration, and waveform generation.
