MCP48FVB11-E/MF

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48FVB11-E/MF is a single-channel, 10-bit volatile digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features an R-2R resistor ladder structure and delivers voltage-buffered outputs via a standard SPI serial interface. The device operates on 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 ±0.05 LSB, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±0.4 LSB, and total harmonic distortion (THD) of -64 dB. It supports external, internal, or supply-referenced inputs and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C in an MSOP-10 package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates an R-2R DAC architecture with voltage-buffered output stages for direct drive capability.
• Supports flexible reference selection including external, internal, and supply-referenced configurations.
• Operates across a wide supply voltage range compatible with both 1.8 V and 5.5 V logic systems.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Sensor calibration circuits requiring precise analog signal generation.
• Industrial instrumentation for setpoint and offset adjustments.
• Motor control systems utilizing SPI-based digital regulation.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with system power rails and SPI timing requirements before integration. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm pinout consistency and electrical characteristics match design specifications.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, 10-bit resolution is required without onboard non-volatile memory storage. Compare against the MCP48FEB11 variant if persistent configuration retention across power cycles is necessary. Evaluate the trade-off between the R-2R architecture's speed and the sigma-delta architectures found in other series members.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP48FVBXX family of low-power, SPI-compatible DACs. It complements the EEPROM-integrated MCP48FEBXX series by offering a cost-effective solution for applications that do not require data retention during power loss. The family shares common interface protocols and form factors to simplify multi-channel designs.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The MCP48FVB11-E/UN serves as a package alternative within the same functional family. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance differences between the MSOP-10 and UN packages before substitution.

Digital To Analog Converters FAQ

Is the MCP48FVB11-E/MF suitable for automotive applications?

No, the MCP48FVB11-E/MF lacks AEC-Q100 qualification. Automotive-grade alternatives in this family, such as the MCP48FVB11-E/UN, carry AEC-Q100 certification.

What is the maximum operating temperature for this device?

The device supports an extended industrial temperature range with a maximum operating temperature of +125°C.

Does this DAC retain its output value after power loss?

No, the MCP48FVB11-E/MF is a volatile DAC. It does not contain integrated EEPROM and will reset to a default state upon power cycling.
