MCP47CVD01-E/MF

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP47CVD01-E/MF is a single-channel, 8-bit buffered voltage output Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) from Microchip Technology. It features volatile memory and an I2C serial interface supporting Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), and High-Speed (up to 3.4 MHz) modes. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V for full specifications, or 1.8V to 2.7V with reduced analog performance. Key electrical parameters include a typical settling time of 4 µs, a maximum Integral Nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB, and a maximum Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB. It offers reference source options including VDD, external VREF, or an internal band gap.

• Sensor Calibration
• Low-Power Portable Instrumentation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure that any custom labeling or marking requirements are explicitly stated in the purchase order. Confirm compliance with RoHS and REACH directives as specified in the product datasheet prior to procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, 8-bit resolution is sufficient for the application. Consider the MCP47CVD01-E/MF for designs requiring volatile storage where non-vatility is not critical. Evaluate the I2C bus speed requirements against the device's support for Standard, Fast, and High-Speed modes to ensure system compatibility.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP47CXDX1/2 family, which includes single and dual channel variants with resolutions ranging from 8-bit to 12-bit. The 'V' in the model number indicates volatile memory, distinguishing it from the 'CMD' series which features Multi-Time Programmable (MTP) nonvolatile memory. All members share similar I2C interfaces and output buffer architectures.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include other MCP47CVDxx variants with different resolutions (e.g., MCP47CVD11 for 10-bit, MCP47CVD21 for 12-bit). Cross-family replacements may require verification of pinout compatibility and software register mapping adjustments due to differences in memory architecture or interface protocols.

Digital To Analog Converters FAQ

What is the maximum I2C clock frequency supported by the MCP47CVD01-E/MF?

The device supports Standard mode (100 kHz), Fast mode (400 kHz), and High-Speed mode (up to 3.4 MHz).

Does the MCP47CVD01-E/MF retain its output value after power loss?

No, the MCP47CVD01-E/MF uses volatile RAM memory. The output value will be lost upon power cycling unless restored by the host system.

What are the available reference voltage sources for this DAC?

The DAC can use the device VDD, an external voltage applied to the VREF pin, or the internal band gap voltage (typically 1.214V) as the reference source.
