Texas Instruments DAC8501E
DAC8501E variants from Texas Instruments
DAC8501E Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Digital to Analog Converters (DAC).
Key Features
- Footprint / package: VSSOPSingle 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.
- 2 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 250G4, 2K5. 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 Variants
Compare 2 DAC8501E part numbers by package, electrical parameters, lifecycle, and availability. Use RFQ for stock and lead-time confirmation.
| Part Number | Description | Package Type | Manufacturer | Lifecycle | RoHS | Availability | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DAC8501E/250G4 | Package: VSSOP | Max Supply Voltage: 5.5V | Min Supply Voltage: 2.7V | Number of Channels: 1 | Number of Bits: 16 | Interface: SPI | Max Operating Temp: 105°C | Min Operating Temp: -40°C | VSSOP | Texas Instruments | Active | Compliant | In Stock | |
| DAC8501E/2K5 | 16-Bit DAC, 93kS/s, SPI, VSSOP, 2.7-5.5V | - | Texas Instruments | Active | Compliant | In Stock |

How to Choose the Right DAC8501E Digital to Analog Converters (DAC)
Match the footprint first
Packages here: VSSOP. Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For DAC8501E, 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 "DAC8501E" — include the full suffix (e.g. 250G4, 2K5). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
