# DAC8812ICPWR

**Texas Instruments** · Digital To Analog Converters (DAC) · TSSOP-16

DAC8812ICPWR from Texas Instruments, in a TSSOP-16. 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 | RFBA | input | Establish voltage output for DAC A by connecting to external amplifier output. |
| 2 | VREFA | input | DAC A reference voltage input pin that establishes full-scale output voltage and can be tied to VDD. |
| 3 | IOUTA | output | DAC A current output. |
| 4 | AGNDA | power_in | DAC A analog ground. |
| 5 | AGNDB | power_in | DAC B analog ground. |
| 6 | IOUTB | output | DAC B current output. |
| 7 | VREFB | input | DAC B reference voltage input pin that establishes full-scale output voltage and can be tied to VDD. |
| 8 | RFBB | input | Establish voltage output for DAC B by connecting to external amplifier output. |
| 9 | SDI | input | Serial data input that loads directly into the shift register. |
| 10 | RS | input | Active-low reset input that sets input and DAC registers to all 0s or midscale depending on MSB pin state. |
| 11 | CS | input | Active-low chip-select input that disables shift register loading when high and transfers serial register data to input register when going high. |
| 12 | DGND | power_in | Digital ground. |
| 13 | VDD | power_in | Positive power-supply input with specified operation range 2.7 V to 5.5 V. |
| 14 | MSB | input | MSB input that determines output reset value to either 0 or midscale during reset or power-on and can be permanently tied to ground or VDD. |
| 15 | LDAC | input | Active-low load DAC register strobe input that asynchronously transfers all input register data to the DAC registers. |
| 16 | CLK | input | Clock input that loads data into shift register on positive edge. |
