MCP48FVB24-E/MQ

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MCP48FVB24-E/MQ is a quad-channel, 12-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) from Microchip Technology. It features buffered voltage outputs with rail-to-rail capability and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. The device utilizes an SPI serial interface supporting write speeds up to 20 MHz and read speeds up to 10 MHz. Key electrical parameters include a typical settling time of 7.8 µs, a maximum INL of ±6 LSB, and a maximum DNL of ±1 LSB. Power consumption is typically less than 2.6 mA in normal operation and drops to 680 nA in power-down mode. It is available in a 20-lead VQFN package.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Quad-channel configuration providing four independent buffered analog outputs
• SPI compatible serial interface for high-speed digital communication
• WiperLock™ functionality to prevent inadvertent output changes via high-voltage commands
• Multiple reference source options including internal band gap, VDD, or external VREF

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Set point or offset trimming in industrial systems
• Sensor calibration circuits
• Low-power portable instrumentation
• Motor control applications

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E/MQ' corresponds to the 20-lead VQFN package and extended temperature rating during sourcing. Confirm that the component is sourced directly from authorized distributors to ensure authenticity. Check for any recent lifecycle status updates as this part may be subject to discontinuation notices.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this model when a quad-channel DAC with volatile memory is required. Ensure the application does not require nonvolatile storage, as the 'VB' series lacks EEPROM; use the 'EB' series if power-on recall is needed. Verify that the 12-bit resolution and 20 MHz SPI speed meet system timing requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This component belongs to the MCP48FXBX4/8 family of DACs. The 'VB' designation indicates volatile RAM storage without integrated EEPROM. The '24' suffix specifies 12-bit resolution and quad-channel architecture. The 'MQ' suffix denotes the 20-lead VQFN package type.
