MCP48CVD02T-E/MG

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48CVD02T-E/MG is a dual-channel, 12-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 component utilizes WiperLock™ technology and includes power-on/brown-out reset protection.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture with independent DAC outputs
• SPI-compatible serial interface with high-speed operation
• Configurable reference voltage sources including internal band gap
• Programmable gain options for flexible output scaling

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Set point or offset trimming in industrial systems
• Sensor calibration circuits
• Low-power portable instrumentation
• 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 temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with system voltage requirements, as performance specifications vary between the standard 2.7V-5.5V range and the reduced specification range of 1.8V-2.7V. Confirm that the volatile memory configuration meets the application's data retention needs during power cycles.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel solution with 12-bit resolution is required. The volatile memory designation indicates that output values are lost upon power loss; consider nonvolatile variants if power-up state preservation is necessary. Verify that the host microcontroller supports the required SPI modes ('00' or '11') and can provide the necessary clock speeds for write operations.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP48CXDX family of digital-to-analog converters. The 'V' in the model number denotes volatile memory, distinguishing it from nonvolatile MTP variants. The 'D' indicates a dual-channel configuration, while '02' specifies the 12-bit resolution. The '/MG' suffix identifies the QFN-16 package type.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include other MCP48CVD02 variants with different package options such as MSOP-10 or DFN-10. For single-channel applications, the MCP48CVD21 may be considered if pinout compatibility allows.
