DAC8760 is a 16-bit Programmable Current/Voltage Output DAC

This post is sponsored by Texas Instruments

Texas Instruments’ DAC8760 is a low-cost, precise 16-bit digital-to-analog converter that offers simultaneous voltage and current output and is specifically designed for industrial process-control application such as stepper drives, flow transmitters, pressure transmitters, temperature transmitter, analog output modules, and even x-ray baggage scanners.

The data converter is available as a 6-mm × 6-mm in either a QFN-40 or TSSOP-24 package and may be programmed as either a current output with a range of 4 mA to 20 mA, 0 mA to 20 mA, or 0 mA to 24 mA; or as a voltage output with a range of 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, ±5 V, or ±10 V, with a 10% overrange (0 V to 5.5 V, 0 V to 11 V, ±5.5 V, or ±11 V). If necessary, a single data register may simultaneously enable both the current and voltage output.

The device also features CLR and CLR-SEL pins for setting the voltage outputs to zero-scale or midscale, and the current output to the lower of the range (if the output is enabled); zero and gain registers that may be programmed to digitally calibrate the device; and a power-on-reset function to guarantee that it powers up in a known state. To ensure that everything works reliably, DAC8760 includes a thermal alarm, open alarm, short current limit, CRC check, and a Watchdog Timer.
