Texas Instruments DAC161S
DAC161S variants from Texas Instruments
DAC161S Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Digital to Analog Converters (DAC).
DAC161S is a Texas Instruments order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 5 variants that share the same core device but differ in suffix fields (package, grade, reel/tube, electrical bin, etc.). Pick the exact full part number; substituting within the family without checking the datasheet often causes assembly or spec mismatches.
Package: 16-WFQFN Exposed Pad | Mounting Type: Surface Mount | Number of Bits: 16 | Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 105°C Other listed variants describe: Precision 16-Bit, Buffered Voltage-Output DAC 16-WQFN -40 to 105; DAC161S997 DAC Evaluation Board.
Across listed variants, watch these parameters: packages: 16-WFQFN Exposed Pad.
Suffix examples in this family: 055CISQ/NOPB, 055CISQX/NOPB, 055CISQE/NOPB, 997EVM, 997RGHR. The characters after the base number usually encode package, temperature, or performance grade — compare the variant table column-by-column rather than assuming pin-compatible drops-in.
Example MPNs: DAC161S055CISQ/NOPB, DAC161S055CISQX/NOPB, DAC161S055CISQE/NOPB, DAC161S997EVM, DAC161S997RGHR.
Key Features
- Footprint / package: 16-WFQFN Exposed PadSingle package option across listed variants; still confirm reel vs tube suffix if you auto-insert.
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 5 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 055CISQ/NOPB, 055CISQX/NOPB, 055CISQE/NOPB, 997EVM, 997RGHR. Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Digital to Analog Converters (DAC) — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained

Ordering Code Differences
How suffixes on DAC161S map to package, grade, and reel options.
DAC161S uses a shared prefix; characters after the prefix encode orderable options. Two lines with the same prefix are not drop-in replacements unless the differing columns match your need.
Suffixes seen here: 055CISQ/NOPB, 055CISQX/NOPB, 055CISQE/NOPB, 997EVM, 997RGHR.
Full MPN examples: DAC161S055CISQ/NOPB, DAC161S055CISQX/NOPB, DAC161S055CISQE/NOPB, DAC161S997EVM, DAC161S997RGHR.
Tip: photograph or copy the reel label — reel diameter, QTY per reel, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are often suffix-driven and won't show in the schematic.
How to Choose the Right DAC161S Digital to Analog Converters (DAC)
Match the footprint first
Packages here: 16-WFQFN Exposed Pad. Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For DAC161S, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "DAC161S" — include the full suffix (e.g. 055CISQ/NOPB, 055CISQX/NOPB, 055CISQE/NOPB). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
