MCP48FVB18-16E/ST

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48FVB18-16E/ST is an octal-channel, 10-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a volatile architecture with SPI serial interface and R-2R resistor ladder structure. The device operates on analog and digital supply voltages ranging from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Key electrical parameters include a settling time of 7.8 µs, differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±0.05 LSB, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±0.4 LSB, and gain error of 0.1% FSR. It provides buffered voltage outputs and supports external, internal, or supply reference types. The component is housed in a TSSOP-16 package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Octal channel configuration for multi-point signal generation
• SPI serial interface for compact system integration
• Integrated EEPROM option in the broader family for power-down retention

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Motor control applications

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against official Microchip documentation, as the specific suffix '16' may indicate a variant not universally listed in standard distributor catalogs. Confirm availability through authorized channels and check for recent product change notifications. Ensure the selected package matches the design requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple independent analog outputs are required from a single controller. Compare against the MCP48FEB series if non-volatile storage is needed. Verify that the 10-bit resolution and 7.8 µs settling time meet the application's speed and accuracy constraints. Check compatibility with the system's SPI clock rates and voltage levels.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This device belongs to the MCP48FxBXX series of low-power DACs. The 'V' indicates volatile memory, while 'B' denotes the buffer type. The series expands Microchip's portfolio for consumer, industrial, and automotive markets, offering cost-effective solutions compared to higher-resolution counterparts.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Consider the MCP48FVB18-E/MF for QFN packaging or the MCP48FVB11-E/MF for single-channel applications. For non-volatile requirements, evaluate the MCP48FEB18-16E/ST. Always verify pinout and electrical specifications before substitution.
