MCP48FVB04-E/MQ

The MCP48FXBX4/8 devices are a family of buffered voltage output Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC), with the following options: - Quad or octal output channel configurations - 8/10/12-bit resolution - Volatile or nonvolatile user memory The quad and octal options differ only by the number of output channels. The volatile and nonvolatile versions have an identical analog circuit structure. There are three voltage reference sources: the external VREF pin, the device’s VDD or an internal band gap voltage source. When the VDD mode is selected, it is internally connected to the DAC’s reference circuit. When the external VREF pin is used, the user has the option to select between a gain of 1 and 2 if the Buffered mode is used, or the internal buffer can be bypassed entirely in the External VREF Unbuffered mode. In the Internal Band Gap Voltage Reference mode, the gain can be selected between 2 and 4. This family of devices features WiperLock functionality, which prevents inadvertent changes of the output value. It uses a high voltage on a specific pin, together with dedicated commands, to lock the values that are stored in memory. These devices have an SPI compatible serial interface. WRITE commands are supported up to 20 MHz, while READ commands are supported up to 10 MHz.
