MCP48FVB02-E/MG

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48FVB02-E/MG is a dual-channel, 8-bit volatile digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features an SPI serial interface and R-2R resistor ladder architecture. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.8 V to 5.5 V for both analog and digital domains. Key performance metrics include a typical settling time of 7.8 µs, a differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±0.0125 LSB, and an integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±0.1 LSB. Total harmonic distortion is specified at -64 dB. The component supports external, internal, or supply-based voltage reference configurations and provides buffered voltage outputs.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Dual-channel output capability with buffered voltage signals

• SPI-compatible serial interface for digital control
• Extended industrial temperature range operation

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Sensor calibration systems
• Set point and offset adjustment circuits
• Portable instrumentation devices

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MG against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and SPI timing requirements before integration. Cross-reference the part number with current datasheets to confirm availability status and manufacturing lifecycle stage.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel 8-bit resolution is required without non-volatile memory storage needs. Compare against the MCP48FEBxx series if power-down data retention is necessary. Verify that the 1.8 V to 5.5 V operating range aligns with the target application's power supply constraints and signal integrity requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This device belongs to the MCP48FVBxx family of volatile DACs. It complements the non-volatile MCP48FEBxx series by offering a lower-cost alternative for applications where power-down settings do not need to be preserved. The family shares common interface protocols and performance characteristics while differing in channel count and memory integration.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MCP48FVB02T-E/MF is a reel-packaged variant of the same functional device. Check pinout and electrical specifications against the MCP48FVB02-E/UN for package differences.
