AD7948BRSZ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AD7948BRSZ is a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., designed for data acquisition applications requiring parallel interface control with external voltage reference. This active product operates across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and delivers current output in an unbuffered configuration. The component is housed in a 20-SSOP surface mount package and maintains ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when managing inventory constraints, addressing supply chain disruptions, or optimizing procurement across multiple design revisions that share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.
