MCP48CVB01-E/MF

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48CVB01-E/MF is a single-channel, 8-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features volatile memory and an SPI serial interface with write speeds up to 50 MHz. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V for full specifications, or 1.8V to 2.7V with reduced analog performance. It offers selectable reference sources including VDD, external VREF, or an internal band gap. Key electrical parameters include a typical settling time of 16 µs, gain error of ±1% FSR, and integral nonlinearity (INL) within ±1 LSB. The component is housed in a 10-lead MSOP package and supports an extended operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Provides buffered voltage output with selectable gain options of 1x or 2x.
• Supports multiple reference voltage sources including internal band gap and external pins.
• Includes power-down modes that disconnect the output buffer or select pull-down resistors.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Set point or offset trimming
• Sensor calibration
• Low-power portable instrumentation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official datasheets to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels, as specifications vary between 2.7V–5.5V and 1.8V–2.7V ranges. Confirm that the volatile memory architecture aligns with application requirements regarding data retention during power loss.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-channel 8-bit resolution is sufficient for the application. Consider the MCP48CMB01 variant if nonvolatile MTP memory is required to retain DAC values after power cycles. Evaluate the need for dual-channel outputs, which are available in the MCP48CVB02 series, before finalizing the part number.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This component belongs to the MCP48CXBXX family of 8/10/12-bit digital-to-analog converters. The 'CVB' designation indicates a single-channel device with volatile RAM-based DAC registers. The 'E' suffix denotes the extended industrial temperature range, while '/MF' specifies the 10-lead MSOP surface-mount package.
