HI5960IB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HI5960IB is a 14-bit Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, housed in a 28-SOIC package. This component functions as a single-channel current-output DAC with parallel data interface, supporting both external and internal reference configurations. The HI5960IB is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HI5960IB is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resolution: 14-bit conversion capability
• Channel Configuration: Single D/A converter
• Output Architecture: Current-source, unbuffered topology
• Differential Output: Required capability
• Data Interface: Parallel input protocol
• Reference Configuration: Support for both external and internal references
• Supply Voltage Range: 2.7V to 5.5V for both analog and digital supplies
• Linearity Specifications: INL/DNL of ±2.5 LSB and ±1.5 LSB respectively
• Settling Time: 35ns typical performance
• Package: 28-SOIC surface-mount form factor
• Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C operation

The substitute parts AD9764AR and AD9764ARZ from Analog Devices Inc. meet all these electrical and mechanical requirements, enabling direct functional replacement in applications currently using the HI5960IB.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AD9764AR and AD9764ARZ provide parametric equivalence to the HI5960IB across all electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differentiators are product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance:

The HI5960IB is obsolete, limiting long-term availability and support. The AD9764AR and AD9764ARZ are active products from Analog Devices Inc., ensuring continued manufacturing and supply chain stability.

Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the HI5960IB is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance status is relevant for applications subject to environmental regulations or customer requirements mandating RoHS adherence.

Selection between AD9764AR and AD9764ARZ should be based on packaging and inventory requirements, as both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The AD9764ARZ maintains higher inventory availability (15,949 units) compared to AD9764AR (2,711 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AD9764AR or AD9764ARZ directly replace HI5960IB in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents meeting identical electrical specifications (14-bit resolution, 35ns settling time, current-output architecture, parallel interface, supply voltage range, and linearity performance) and share the same 28-SOIC package footprint. No circuit modifications are required for functional substitution.

Q: What is the difference between AD9764AR and AD9764ARZ?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The designation suffix indicates packaging configuration. Selection should be based on procurement requirements and available inventory.

Q: Why is the HI5960IB classified as obsolete?

A: Renesas Electronics has discontinued this product line. The AD9764 series from Analog Devices Inc. represents the active equivalent offering equivalent performance and package compatibility.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the HI5960IB and its substitutes?

A: Yes. The HI5960IB is RoHS non-compliant, while both AD9764AR and AD9764ARZ are ROHS3 compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must transition to the Analog Devices equivalents.

Q: Will the 28-SOIC package footprint remain identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts use the 28-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width) package, ensuring PCB layout and mechanical compatibility without redesign.

Q: What supply voltage configurations are supported?

A: All three parts support analog and digital supply voltages ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, enabling operation across standard single-supply and dual-supply configurations.
