MCP47FVB18-20E/ST

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP47FVB18-20E/ST is an octal channel, 10-bit volatile digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Microchip Technology. It utilizes an I2C interface for communication and is housed in a TSSOP-20 package. The device operates within standard industrial temperature ranges and supports RoHS compliance standards. As a data converter IC, it provides multiple analog output channels controlled via serial commands, suitable for applications requiring multi-channel signal generation without non-volatile storage capabilities.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Octal channel configuration providing eight independent analog outputs
• I2C serial interface for simplified system integration
• Volatile memory architecture retaining settings only during power

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Multi-channel sensor simulation systems
• Industrial process control signal generation
• Test and measurement equipment calibration

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E/ST against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure the component selection aligns with volatile memory requirements, as this part does not retain DAC codes after power loss. Cross-reference the Mouser number 579-MCP47FVB1820E/ST for accurate distributor identification and documentation access.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when eight simultaneous analog outputs are required from a single integrated circuit. The 10-bit resolution offers a balance between precision and speed for general-purpose applications. Consider the volatile nature of the DAC core; if power-down retention is necessary, alternative non-volatile models within the same family should be evaluated instead.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This device belongs to the MCP47FVB series of high-speed, multi-channel DACs. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the MCP47FVB04T-E/MQ but differs in channel count and package style. The series is designed for applications demanding multiple synchronized analog signals driven by a microcontroller or DSP via a standard two-wire bus.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same voltage and interface specifications should be verified through official substitution guides. Generic octal DACs may require significant schematic redesign due to differing pinouts or control registers.
