MCP48CVD01-E/MF

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48CVD01-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 within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V for full specifications, or 1.8V to 2.7V for reduced analog performance. It offers integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB and supports reference sources including VDD, external VREF, or an internal 1.214V band gap. Output gain options are 1x or 2x, and it includes power-down modes with selectable pull-down resistors.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Single-channel buffered voltage output with 8-bit resolution
• SPI-compatible serial interface supporting high-speed operations
• Flexible reference selection including internal band gap and external pins
• Extended temperature range operation from -40°C to +125°C

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Set point or offset trimming in industrial systems
• Sensor calibration circuits
• Low-power portable instrumentation
• PC peripherals requiring analog signal generation
• Data acquisition systems

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-MF' corresponds to the DFN-10 package type as documented in the datasheet. Confirm that the 'E' suffix indicates the extended temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C). Ensure the 'V' designation is recognized as volatile memory, meaning output values are lost upon power cycle unless reprogrammed via SPI.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel DAC with volatile storage is required. Choose the MCP48CVD01 over the MCP48CMD01 if nonvolatile MTP memory is not needed. Consider the MCP48CVD02 if dual-channel output is necessary. Verify that the 8-bit resolution meets the application's precision requirements compared to higher-resolution variants in the family.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP48CXDX1/2 family of 8/10/12-bit digital-to-analog converters. The 'V' in the model number specifically denotes volatile RAM-based configuration, distinguishing it from the 'M' series which utilizes Multi-Time Programmable (MTP) nonvolatile memory. All members share similar electrical characteristics and pinouts but differ in channel count and memory type.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MCP48CVD01T-E/MF is the tape-and-reel version of this component. For nonvolatile alternatives, consider the MCP48CMD01-E/MF. Dual-channel equivalents include the MCP48CVD02-E/MF.
