MCP48FEB01-E/MF

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48FEB01-E/MF is a single-channel, 8-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features an R-2R resistor ladder architecture with voltage buffered outputs and volatile memory storage. The device communicates via a standard SPI interface and supports analog and digital supply voltages ranging from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 7.8 µs, differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±0.0125 LSB, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±0.1 LSB, and total harmonic distortion (THD) of -64 dB. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is housed in a 10-pin MSOP package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates non-volatile EEPROM memory for persistent DAC output state retention across power cycles.
• Provides high-resolution 8-bit conversion accuracy with low differential and integral nonlinearity errors.
• Supports flexible reference input options including external, internal, and supply-referenced configurations.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring precise analog signal generation.
• Battery-powered instrumentation benefiting from low-power operation and non-volatile data retention.
• Automotive sensor interfaces operating under extended temperature conditions.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E/MF' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and package dimensions. Ensure that the volatile/non-volatile memory configuration matches the system requirements for power-loss data preservation. Cross-reference the ordering part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability status and lead times prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, 8-bit resolution is sufficient for the application. The inclusion of EEPROM distinguishes it from volatile-only variants like the MCP48FVB01. Verify that the SPI interface timing meets the microcontroller's maximum clock speed requirements. Confirm that the 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply range aligns with the system's power rails.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP48FEBxx family of non-volatile DACs. It shares architectural similarities with the MCP48FVB01 but adds EEPROM storage. It differs from the dual-channel MCP48FEB02 by offering only one output channel. The 'MF' suffix indicates the MSOP-10 package type, distinguishing it from other package options like UN or ML.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MCP48FVB01-E/MF serves as a direct substitute if non-volatile memory is not required. For applications needing two channels, the MCP48FEB02-E/MF is the compatible alternative. Verify that any replacement maintains the same SPI protocol and voltage levels.
