MCP48CMB11-E/MF

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48CMB11-E/MF is a single-channel, 10-bit buffered voltage output Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features Multi-Time Programmable (MTP) nonvolatile memory for persistent data storage and operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V. The device utilizes a four-wire SPI serial interface with write speeds up to 50 MHz. Key electrical specifications include a typical settling time of 16 µs, an internal band gap reference of 1.214V, and selectable unity or 2x gain. It supports power-down modes and includes Power-on/Brown-out Reset protection.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates MTP nonvolatile memory allowing user programming of DAC values and configuration registers.
• Provides buffered voltage output with selectable gain settings of 1x or 2x.
• Supports multiple voltage reference sources including external VREF pin, device VDD, and internal band gap.
• Features high-speed SPI interface compatible with standard '00' and '11' modes.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

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

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and SPI timing requirements before integration. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as stock levels fluctuate.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when nonvolatile storage of DAC output states is required without external EEPROM. Compare settling time and linearity specifications against application needs. Consider the 10-bit resolution and single-channel architecture relative to dual-channel alternatives if multiple outputs are needed.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP48CXBXX family of digital-to-analog converters. It shares architectural similarities with volatile variants like the MCP48CVB11 but distinguishes itself through integrated MTP memory. The family offers 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit resolutions across single and dual channel configurations.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include MCP48CMB11-E/ML or MCP48CMB11-E/MF depending on package preference. Volatile equivalents such as MCP48CVB11 may be used if nonvolatile retention is not required.
