DAC7513N/3K

DAC7513N/3K is a 12-bit multiplying digital-to-analog converter. It converts a digital code into an output current proportional to an external reference (Iout = (Code/4096) × IoutFS). It’s designed for precision applications such as calibration, instrumentation, and waveform-generation, offering monotonic operation with good linearity.
Key points:
- Output: current (Iout) needing a current-to-voltage conversion stage (load resistor and/or op-amp).
- Interface: digital input (parallel or serial, depending on variant); typical control pins for loading and strobing.
- Reference: external Vref defines full-scale IoutFS.
- Packaging/variants: N/3K suffixes denote package type and temperature grade; exact pinout and electrical specs are variant-specific.
- Performance: designed for high accuracy and fast settling with low glitch; nominally suitable for precision DAC applications.
For exact pinout, timing, and electrical specs (INL/DNL, settling time, common-mode ranges), consult the specific DAC7513N/3K datasheet from the manufacturer.

DAC7513N/3K comes in a DIP package: Plastic DIP, 16 pins (DIP-16).

Pin count: 8 pins (DIP-8/SO-8; “N” indicates the 8‑pin package).
Function: Single‑channel, 8‑bit multiplying digital‑to‑analog converter with a serial (SPI‑like) input interface. It converts an 8‑bit digital word to an analog voltage on Vout, using an external reference (Vref) to set full scale.

Manufacturer: Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI).
Company type: A multinational American semiconductor company that designs, manufactures, and markets analog, mixed-signal, and DSP integrated circuits.
