Overview
The THS8136IPHPRQ1 is a high-performance, triple 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) produced by Texas Instruments. This device is optimized for use in video and graphics applications, offering high-resolution image processing and a sampling rate of up to 180 MSPS. The THS8136 operates from 3.3-V analog and 1.8-V digital supply levels, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It features current-steering DACs designed to produce standard video output levels when connected to a single-ended double-terminated 75-Ω coaxial cable. The device also supports bi-level sync and blanking level generation for both RGB and YPbPr color spaces, and it includes a generic DAC mode for applications not requiring sync insertion.
