MCP48CVD02T-E/MF

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48CVD02T-E/MF is a dual-channel, 8-bit buffered voltage output Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) from Microchip Technology. 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 4 µs, a gain error of ±0.6% of Full Scale Range (FSR), and an Integral Nonlinearity (INL) specification of ±1 LSB. The unit 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

• Dual-channel architecture with independent DAC outputs and volatile register storage.
• SPI-compatible serial interface with high-speed write capabilities up to 50 MHz.
• Flexible reference input options including VDD, external VREF pin, or internal band gap.
• Configurable power-down modes allowing output buffer disconnection or pull-down resistor selection.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Set point or offset trimming in industrial control systems
• Sensor calibration circuits requiring precise analog adjustment
• Low-power portable instrumentation devices
• PC peripherals and data acquisition systems

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required voltage range and temperature grade for your application environment. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm compatibility with existing design files.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel solution with volatile memory is required for cost-sensitive applications. Consider the 1.8V to 2.7V operation mode if lower power consumption is critical, noting that analog specifications may be reduced in this range. Verify that the SPI interface timing requirements of the host controller are compatible with the device's 50 MHz write speed capability.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP48CXDX1/2 family, which includes single and dual channel variants with resolutions of 8, 10, and 12 bits. The 'V' designation indicates volatile memory, distinguishing it from nonvolatile MTP versions. The 'D' suffix typically denotes the dual-channel configuration within the 8-bit resolution subset of this product line.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include other MCP48CVD02 variants with different package options such as QFN or DFN. For nonvolatile requirements, consider the MCP48CMD02 series. Single-channel equivalents like the MCP48CVD01 may be used if only one output is needed.
