MICROCHIP MCP4922-E/SL

The MCP4902/4912/4922 devices are dual 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit buffered voltage output Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs), respectively. The devices operate from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply with SPI compatible Serial Peripheral Interface. The user can configure the full-scale range of the device to be VREF or 2*VREF by setting the Gain Selection Option bit (gain of 1 of 2). The user can shut down both DAC channels by using SHDN pin or shut down the DAC channel individually by setting the Configuration register bits. In Shutdown mode, most of the internal circuits in the shutdown channel are turned off for power savings and the output amplifier is configured to present a known high resistance output load 500 kΩ (typical). The devices include double-buffered registers, allowing synchronous updates of two DAC outputs, using the LDAC pin. These devices also incorporate a Power-on Reset (POR) circuit to ensure reliable powerup. The devices utilize a resistive string architecture, with its inherent advantages of low DNL error and fast settling time. These devices are specified over the extended temperature range (+125°C). The devices provide high accuracy and low noise performance for consumer and industrial applications where calibration or compensation of signals (such as temperature, pressure and humidity) are required. The MCP4902/4912/4922 devices are available in the PDIP, SOIC and TSSOP packages.
