MCP48CVB11-E/MG

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48CVB11-E/MG is a single-channel, 10-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) from the MCP48CXBXX family. It features volatile memory and an SPI serial interface supporting write speeds up to 50 MHz. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, with reduced specifications available for the 1.8V to 2.7V range. Key electrical parameters include a typical settling time of 16 µs, a maximum Integral Nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB, and a gain error of ±1% of Full Scale Range (FSR). The output buffer provides rail-to-rail swing, and the unit is housed in a 10-lead MSOP package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Single-channel buffered voltage output with 10-bit resolution providing 1024 discrete steps.
• SPI-compatible serial interface with support for '00' and '11' modes and high-speed data transfer.
• Configurable reference voltage sources including VDD, external VREF pin, or internal band gap.
• Integrated power-on reset and brown-out protection for reliable startup.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Set point or offset trimming in industrial control systems
• Sensor calibration circuits requiring precise analog signal generation
• Low-power portable instrumentation devices
• Data acquisition systems needing digital-to-analog conversion

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 the 'E' designation corresponds to the extended temperature range requirements of your application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision number to confirm compatibility with current design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel DAC with 10-bit resolution is required. Consider the MCP48CVB01 if 8-bit resolution suffices, or the MCP48CVB21 for 12-bit precision. Verify that the system voltage falls within the 2.7V to 5.5V operating range for full specification compliance. Check if nonvolatile memory is needed, as this variant uses volatile RAM only.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP48CXBXX series of 8/10/12-bit Digital-to-Analog Converters. The family includes both single and dual-channel variants with either volatile or nonvolatile memory options. The CVB suffix specifically denotes the single-channel version with volatile memory, distinguishing it from the CMB series which includes Multi-Time Programmable (MTP) memory capabilities.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the MCP48CVB01 (8-bit) and MCP48CVB21 (12-bit) for different resolution needs. For dual-channel applications, consider the MCP48CVB12. Ensure any replacement maintains the same SPI interface compatibility and package footprint if board space is constrained.
