THS5641AIPWR

The THS5641AIPWR from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for high-speed data transmission in communication systems and video applications. It is part of the pin-compatible CommsDAC family, offering superior AC and DC performance with update rates up to 100 MSPS.

This DAC features an 8-bit resolution and a 100 MSPS update rate, making it suitable for demanding applications. It operates from a single 3V to 5.5V supply and has a typical power dissipation of 100 mW at 3.3V, with a low sleep mode power consumption of 17 mW. Key electrical specifications include a Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD) of 50 dB at 5 MHz, Integral Nonlinearity (INL) of 0.25 LSB, and Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) of 0.25 LSB. The settling time to 0.1% is 35 ns.

The THS5641AIPWR supports both straight binary and twos complement input formats, offering flexible interfacing with digital signal processors. It includes an on-chip 1.2V reference and features differential scalable current outputs ranging from 2 mA to 20 mA. The device is available in a 28-pin TSSOP package, suitable for surface mounting.

This DAC is optimized for applications requiring high-speed digital-to-analog conversion, such as wired and wireless communication systems and video signal processing. Its low power consumption and compact package make it ideal for space-constrained and power-sensitive designs.
