Texas Instruments DAC38RF
DAC38RF variants from Texas Instruments
DAC38RF Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Digital to Analog Converters (DAC).
Key Features
- Footprint / package: 144-FBGA, FCBGASingle 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.
- 4 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 85IAAVR, 87IAAVR, 83IAAVR, 89EVM. 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

How to Choose the Right DAC38RF Digital to Analog Converters (DAC)
Match the footprint first
Packages here: 144-FBGA, FCBGA. Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For DAC38RF, 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 "DAC38RF" — include the full suffix (e.g. 85IAAVR, 87IAAVR, 83IAAVR). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
