Microchip Digital-to-Analogue Converter 12-bit 2-Channel SPI Interface 10-Pin MSOP MCP48FVB22-E/UN

Microchip MCP48FVB22-E/UN is a high-performance digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) featuring a 12-bit resolution and 2 output channels. It is built on resistor string architecture, delivering precise analogue voltage output. The DAC comes in a compact 10-pin MSOP surface-mount package with dimensions 3 mm length, 3 mm width, and 1.1 mm height, making it suitable for space-constrained electronic designs.

This device operates from a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and supports multiple voltage reference options including device supply voltage, buffered or unbuffered external reference, and an internal bandgap reference typical at 1.22 V. The output gain can be set to unity or doubled when using an external voltage reference, allowing design flexibility.

The MCP48FVB22-E/UN offers fast settling time of 7.8 microseconds, enabling rapid analogue signal updates in control systems and instrumentation. Its SPI interface allows efficient communication with microcontrollers, supporting write speeds up to 20 MHz and read speeds up to 10 MHz. Volatile RAM memory onboard stores digital input data securely during operation.

Designed for industrial and commercial electronics, this DAC functions reliably across a wide temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C. Its low power consumption profile, with typical 180 μA during normal use and 650 nA in power down mode, conserves energy in battery-operated or embedded systems.

Applications include instrumentation, data acquisition, signal generation, audio processing, and embedded control where precise and stable analogue output voltages are critical. The compact MSOP package fits well in modern PCB assemblies, facilitating integration in complex electronic products.
