Microchip Technology MCP47CXBXX Digital-to-Analog Converters

Microchip Technology MCP47CxBx Digital-to-Analog Converters are Single and Dual-Channel 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit buffered voltage output DAC ICs, with volatile or MTP (Multi Time Programmable) memory and an I2C serial interface. The user can write the integrated MTP memory up to 32 times for each specific register. The Microchip Technology converters require a high-voltage level on the HVC pin, typically 7.5V, to successfully program the desired memory location. The nonvolatile memory includes power-up output values, device configuration registers, and general-purpose memory.

The VREF pin, the device VDD, or the internal bandgap voltage can be selected as the DAC’s reference voltage. When VDD is selected, VDD is internally connected to the DAC reference circuit. 

When the VREF pin is used with an external voltage reference, the user can select between a gain of 1 or 2 and have the reference buffer enabled or disabled. When the gain is 2, the VREF pin voltage should be limited to a maximum of VDD/2.

These devices have a two-wire I2C-compatible serial interface for Standard (100kHz), Fast (400kHz), or High-Speed (1.7MHz and 3.4MHz) modes.

The MCP47CxBx DAC ICs are offered in three compact package options (MSOP-10, DFN-10, and QFN-16) for design flexibility.
