The DAC7562EVM and DAC8562 are designed for the prototyping and evaluation of the DAC7562, DAC8162, DAC8562, DAC7563, DAC8163, or DAC8563 digital to analog converter. These 12/14/16-bit, reset to zero scale or midscale, string DACs are featured in a very small 10-pin QFN package and include an internal reference with very low temperature drift characteristics. The EVM gives access to every pin of the converter which enables the DACs serial interface header to easily attach to any host microprocessor or TI DSP base system. The DAC includes a precise 2.5V internal reference voltage and the evaluation board includes an external +2.5V. The two reference options are selectable using onboard jumpers and setting the DAC itself appropriately. The EVM also has the ability to highlight using the DAC in bipolar applications by installing a few resistors and an op amp.

TMP006 -

Silicon: TMP006AIYZFT | EVM/Dev Kit: TMP006EVM

Infrared Thermopile Sensor in Ultra Small Chipscale Package

The TMP006 is the first in a series of temperature sensors that measure the temperature of an object without the need to make contact with the object. This sensor uses a thermopile to absorb the infrared energy emitted from the object being measured and uses the corresponding change in thermopile voltage to determine the object temperature. Infrared sensor voltage range is specified from –40°C to +125°C to enable use in a wide range of applications. Low power consumption along with low operating voltage makes the part suitable for battery-powered applications. The low package height of the chip-scale format enables standard high volume assembly methods, and can be useful where limited spacing to the object being measured is available.
