Digital-to-analog converters
27 January 2016
Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI
Microchip announced the expansion of its digital-to-analog converter (DAC) product line with the MCP48FXBXX families.
The six-member MCP48FEBXX DAC family offers integrated EEPROM to save DAC settings at power-down, while the MCP48FVBXX family provides lower-cost alternatives for applications that do not require integrated memory.
These low-power, single- and dual-channel DACs feature 8-, 10- and 12-bit resolution, a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), and are available in 10-pin MSOP packages. Examples of their wide range of applications in the consumer, industrial, automotive and other markets include set-point/offset trimming, sensor calibration, instrumentation and motor control.
The chips feature low differential nonlinearity (DNL) error to sustain monotonic output and low integral nonlinearity (INL) error for better linearity. They are also specified to operate over extended temperature ranges.
