**Texas Instruments** · Digital To Analog Converters (DAC) · WQFN-16-EP(3x3)

DAC53608RTER from Texas Instruments, in a WQFN-16-EP(3x3). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUTA | output | Analog output voltage from DAC A. |
| 2 | VOUTB | output | Analog output voltage from DAC B. |
| 3 | VOUTC | output | Analog output voltage from DAC C. |
| 4 | VOUTD | output | Analog output voltage from DAC D. |
| 5 | SDA | bidirectional | Data is clocked into or out of the input register; this open-drain bidirectional data line must be connected to the supply voltage with an external pull-up resistor. |
| 6 | SCL | input | Serial interface clock. |
| 7 | A0 | input | Four-state address input. |
| 8 | LDAC | input | Load DAC pin for simultaneous output update (active low). |
| 9 | VOUTE | output | Analog output voltage from DAC E. |
| 10 | VOUTF | output | Analog output voltage from DAC F. |
| 11 | VOUTG | output | Analog output voltage from DAC G. |
| 12 | VOUTH | output | Analog output voltage from DAC H. |
| 13 | VDD | power_in | Analog supply voltage, 1.8 V to 5.5 V. |
| 14 | AGND | power_in | Ground reference point for all circuitry on the device. |
| 15 | VREFIN | bidirectional | Reference input to the device; the reference input voltage ranges from 1.8 V to VDD. |
| 16 | CLR | input | Asynchronous clear pin (active low). |
| 17 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
