Digital to Analog Converters

DAC38J84IAAV Description

The DAC38J84IAAV from Texas Instruments is a high-performance 16-bit, quad-channel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for demanding applications requiring precision and speed. Packaged in a 144-pin FCBGA, this DAC features a JESD204B serial interface, enabling high-speed data transmission with reduced pin count. It supports both external and internal reference configurations, offering flexibility in system design. With a settling time of 10ns (Typ) and ±6 LSB INL / ±4 LSB DNL, it delivers exceptional linearity and dynamic performance. The device operates with dual power supplies: 3.15V–3.45V (analog) and 0.85V–0.95V (digital), optimizing power efficiency. Its current-source architecture ensures robust differential output performance, making it ideal for high-frequency signal generation.

DAC38J84IAAV Features

• 16-bit resolution with 4 D/A converters for multi-channel applications.
• JESD204B interface for high-speed, low-latency data transfer.
• Ultra-fast settling time (10ns Typ) for rapid signal response.
• Differential outputs with ±6 LSB INL / ±4 LSB DNL for high precision.
• Flexible reference options: External or internal reference support.
• Low-power dual-supply operation (0.85V–0.95V digital, 3.15V–3.45V analog).
• RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting environmental standards.
• Surface-mount 144-FCBGA package for compact, high-density PCB designs.

DAC38J84IAAV Applications
