MCP48FVB12T-E/MG

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48FVB12T-E/MG is a dual-channel, 10-bit volatile digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features an SPI interface and voltage buffered outputs. The device operates on analog and digital supply voltages ranging from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Key performance specifications include a settling time of 7.8 µs, a differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±0.05 LSB, and an integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±0.4 LSB. The gain error is specified at 0.1% FSR, with a total harmonic distortion (THD) of -64 dB. It supports external, internal, or supply reference types and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E/MG' against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels between 1.8 V and 5.5 V. Confirm SPI pin configurations and reference input requirements before integration. Check for RoHS compliance status in current manufacturing data sheets. Validate availability through authorized distributors as stock levels fluctuate.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel 10-bit resolution is required with SPI connectivity. Consider the 7.8 µs settling time for applications demanding rapid signal updates. Evaluate the ±0.05 LSB DNL for linearity-critical designs. Compare power consumption against other DAC families if battery life is a primary constraint. Ensure the MSOP-10 package fits the PCB layout constraints.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP48FVB family of digital-to-analog converters. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series, such as the MCP48FVB12T-E/UN and MCP48FVB12-E/MG, differing primarily in packaging and reel specifications. The family is characterized by volatile memory retention and buffered outputs suitable for general-purpose analog control tasks.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MCP48FVB12T-E/UN and MCP48FVB12-E/MG, which share identical electrical specifications but differ in package style or shipping format. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when swapping packages. Cross-reference datasheets to ensure no functional differences exist in reference handling or interface timing.
