MICROCHIP MCP48CVB12-E/MG

The MCP48CXBXX are single and dual-channel 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit buffered voltage output Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC), with volatile or MTP memory and an SPI serial interface. The MTP memory can be written by the user up to 32 times, for each specific register. It requires a high-voltage level on the HVC pin, typically 7.5Vi, in order 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 band gap 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 can 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 four-wire SPI-compatible serial interface with speeds up to 50 MHz for write and 25 MHz for read operations.
