Product Introduction

The MCP4801/4811/4821 devices are single channel 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 an SPI compatible Serial Peripheral Interface.

The devices have a high precision internal voltage reference (VREF = 2.048V). The user can configure the full-scale range of the device to be 2.048V or 4.096V by setting the Gain Selection Option bit (gain of 1 of 2).

The devices can be operated in Active or Shutdown mode by setting a Configuration register bit or using the SHDN pin. In Shutdown mode, most of the internal circuits, including the output amplifier, are turned off for power savings, while the amplifier output (VOUT) stage is configured to present a known high resistance output load (500 kΩ typical).

The devices include double-buffered registers, allowing a synchronous update of the DAC output 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, low ratio metric temperature coefficient 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 MCP4801/4811/4821 devices are available in the PDIP, SOIC, MSOP and DFN packages.
