MCP48CVD11-E/MG

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48CVD11-E/MG is a single-channel, 10-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) from 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 of 2.7V to 5.5V, with reduced specifications available between 1.8V and 2.7V. Key electrical parameters include a typical settling time of 4 µs, ±0.25 LSB Integral Nonlinearity (INL), and ±0.25 LSB Differential Nonlinearity (DNL). It supports gain settings of 1x or 2x and offers multiple reference source options including VDD, external VREF, or an internal band gap.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Buffered voltage output with selectable gain of 1x or 2x
• SPI-compatible serial interface supporting high-speed writes
• Power-on/Brown-out Reset protection for reliable startup
• Configurable power-down modes with high-impedance or pull-down outputs

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 MG corresponds to the MSOP-10 package type as defined in the official datasheet. Confirm that the E suffix indicates the extended temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). Ensure the component matches the volatile memory variant (CVD) rather than nonvolatile (CMD) based on system requirements for data retention after power loss.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-channel 10-bit resolution is required with volatile storage. Consider the 1.8V to 2.7V operating range if lower power consumption is critical, noting that analog specifications are reduced in this range. Verify that the SPI interface timing meets the system clock requirements, particularly the 50 MHz write speed capability. Check if the buffered output drive strength is sufficient for the intended load impedance.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This component belongs to the MCP48CXDX1/2 family of 8/10/12-bit DACs. The CVD designation specifically identifies it as having volatile RAM, distinguishing it from the CMD series which includes Multi-Time Programmable (MTP) nonvolatile memory. The '1' indicates a single channel configuration, while '11' denotes the 10-bit resolution within the product line.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same volatile family include MCP48CVD01 (8-bit) or MCP48CVD21 (12-bit) for different resolutions. For dual-channel applications, consider the MCP48CVD12. If nonvolatile memory is required, the MCP48CMD11 series is the functional equivalent with MTP storage.
