With integrated EEPROM, Microchip’s MCP48FEBXX Digital-To-Analog Converters (DACs) retain settings at power-down to eliminate the need for external memory and reduce microcontroller overhead.
Available in single and dual channel versions with Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), the family offers various shut-down modes to significantly reduce power consumption and is ideal for battery powered applications. In addition, these devices also feature low Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) error to sustain monotonic output and low Integral Nonlinearity (INL) error for better linearity.
The same feature set, without the integrated EEPROM, is offered by the MCP48FVBXX family as lower-cost alternatives for applications that don’t require memory.
