DAC716P 16-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DAC716P is a 16-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for precision voltage output applications in data acquisition systems. This component features an internal reference, SPI data interface, and buffered voltage output with R-2R architecture. The DAC716P is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new design considerations. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical performance characteristics and package compatibility to ensure direct replacement capability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DAC716P are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• 16-bit resolution maintained across all substitutes
• Single D/A converter configuration
• Buffered voltage output type
• SPI data interface protocol
• Internal reference architecture
• 10µs settling time performance
• ±11.4V ~ 16.5V analog supply voltage range
• R-2R converter architecture
• -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• 16-DIP package with 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch
• Through-hole mounting configuration
• 16-PDIP supplier device package designation

Substitutes are classified into two categories: MFR Recommended (manufacturer-endorsed alternatives) and Parametric Equivalents (parts meeting all electrical and mechanical specifications).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DAC716PB (MFR Recommended Substitute): The DAC716PB is the manufacturer-recommended alternative, manufactured by Burr Brown and currently in active product status. This substitute maintains all electrical specifications and package compatibility with the DAC716P. The DAC716PB demonstrates improved INL/DNL performance (±4 LSB maximum versus ±8 LSB), providing superior linearity characteristics. This part is suitable for both replacement applications and new designs where active product status is required. Compliance status is equivalent to the main part for REACH and ECCN classifications.

DAC714P (Parametric Equivalent): The DAC714P is a parametric equivalent manufactured by Texas Instruments, classified as "Not For New Designs" but available in production quantities. This part maintains identical electrical performance and package specifications as the DAC716P, including matching INL/DNL specifications (±8 LSB maximum). The DAC714P is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for legacy system support and replacement applications where new design restrictions do not apply. This option provides continuity within the Texas Instruments product family.

Selection Basis:

• All substitutes maintain identical 16-bit resolution, SPI interface, and 16-DIP through-hole package configuration
• Electrical performance parameters (settling time, supply voltage, operating temperature) are preserved across all options
• Product status and compliance certifications are the primary differentiators for design phase selection
• Mechanical compatibility is guaranteed across all listed substitutes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DAC716PB be used as a direct replacement for DAC716P? A: Yes. The DAC716PB maintains identical electrical specifications, package configuration, and pin compatibility. The improved INL/DNL performance (±4 LSB versus ±8 LSB) makes it a superior direct replacement. Both parts feature 16-bit resolution, SPI interface, buffered voltage output, and 16-DIP through-hole packaging.

Q: What is the difference between DAC716PB and DAC714P? A: Both are functionally equivalent to DAC716P with identical core specifications. The primary differences are manufacturer (Burr Brown versus Texas Instruments), product status (Active versus Not For New Designs), and INL/DNL performance (DAC716PB offers ±4 LSB versus ±8 LSB for both DAC716P and DAC714P). DAC716PB is recommended for new applications requiring active product status.

Q: Are these substitutes pin-compatible with DAC716P? A: Yes. All listed substitutes use the identical 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) package with through-hole mounting. Pin configuration and electrical interface (SPI) are preserved, enabling direct socket replacement without PCB modifications.

Q: Can I use DAC714P for new designs? A: DAC714P is classified as "Not For New Designs." For new applications, DAC716PB is the recommended choice due to its active product status. DAC714P is suitable for legacy system support and replacement applications only.

Q: Do all substitutes support the same supply voltage range? A: Yes. All substitutes operate with ±11.4V ~ 16.5V analog supply voltage, matching the DAC716P specification. Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) is also identical across all parts.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitutes? A: DAC716P and DAC714P are ROHS3 compliant. All parts are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99. Compliance status is consistent across the substitute group for regulatory purposes.
