MCP47FVB04-E/MQ

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP47FVB04-E/MQ is a quad-channel, 8-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features an I2C interface and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V. The device utilizes volatile RAM memory for DAC register storage. It supports Standard (100 kbps), Fast (400 kbps), and High-Speed (up to 3.4 Mbps) data transfer rates. The component is housed in a 20-lead VQFN package measuring 5 x 5 mm and is rated for an extended operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Quad-channel buffered voltage output with rail-to-rail capability
• I2C compatible serial interface supporting multiple speed modes
• WiperLock™ functionality for preventing inadvertent output changes
• Configurable power-down modes with selectable pull-down resistors

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Set point or offset trimming
• Sensor calibration
• Low-power portable instrumentation
• Data acquisition systems
• Motor control

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure the selected variant matches the required memory configuration, as this model uses volatile RAM rather than nonvolatile EEPROM. Confirm that the host system provides adequate I2C bus termination and voltage levels compatible with the specified operating range.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad-channel solution with high-speed I2C communication is required. The 8-bit resolution is suitable for applications where moderate precision is acceptable. Consider the internal band gap reference or external VREF options based on system accuracy requirements. Verify that the volatile memory architecture aligns with the application's power-up state expectations.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP47FXBX4/8 family of digital-to-analog converters. The 'F' designation indicates the use of volatile RAM memory, distinguishing it from the 'E' series which includes nonvolatile EEPROM options. The 'B' suffix denotes the 8-bit resolution variant within this family. The 'MQ' suffix specifies the 20-lead VQFN package format.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include MCP47FVB14-E/MQ (10-bit resolution) and MCP47FVB24-E/MQ (12-bit resolution). For nonvolatile memory requirements, consider the MCP47FEB04 series. Octal channel variants such as MCP47FVB08 are available if more channels are needed.
