Product details
Overview
MCP47CMD01-E/UN from Microchip Technology is a single-channel, 8-bit nonvolatile memory digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with I²C interface, ±0.1 LSb integral nonlinearity (INL), 2.7V–5.5V supply range, and buffered voltage output. It delivers factory-default power-up output values via MTP memory and supports internal band gap (1.214 V), VDD, or external VREF as reference sources - used in sensor calibration and precision set-point trimming circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MCP47CMD01-E/UN datasheet, MCP47CMD01-E/UN pinout, MCP47CMD01-E/UN application, or MCP47CMD01-E/UN equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-bit resolution, nonvolatile MTP programming (32 cycles), 4 µs settling time, I²C high-speed mode support (up to 3.4 Mbps), and extended temperature operation (-40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The MCP47CMD01-E/UN implements a resistor ladder DAC architecture with an integrated rail-to-rail output op amp, enabling precise voltage generation without external buffering. Its nonvolatile memory stores DAC output value, configuration registers (e.g., gain, power-down mode), and general-purpose data across 8 MTP locations.
It supports three reference configurations: internal band gap (1.214 V typical), VDD, or external VREF (buffered/unbuffered), with selectable 1× or 2× gain - the latter requiring VREF ≤ VDD/2. Power-on/brown-out reset ensures deterministic startup behavior, and WiperLock™ technology prevents accidental register modification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit (256 steps); guarantees monotonic output with no missing codes across full operating range. |
| INL | ±0.1 LSb max; ensures high DC accuracy for calibration-critical applications like sensor offset adjustment. |
| Settling Time | 4 µs to ±0.5 LSb; enables fast update rates in closed-loop control or dynamic biasing systems. |
| VDD Range | 2.7V–5.5V full spec; supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems without level shifting. |
| MTP Endurance | 32 write cycles per location; sufficient for field calibration storage but not for runtime reprogramming. |
| I²C Speed | Up to 3.4 Mbps (High-Speed mode); reduces bus latency in multi-DAC systems or high-throughput data acquisition. |
| Temp Range | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and harsh-environment instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead MSOP (3 mm × 3 mm) with exposed pad. Pin-compatible with DFN-10 and QFN-16 variants in same family.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply | Primary power input (2.7–5.5 V); powers core logic, DAC ladder, and output amplifier. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Analog/digital common return; must be low-impedance for noise-sensitive DAC performance. |
| VOUT | Analog output | Buffered voltage output (rail-to-rail); drives loads up to 20 mA with 270 kHz -3 dB bandwidth. |
| VREF | Reference input | Selectable reference source: internal band gap (1.214 V), VDD, or external voltage (1.0–VDD). |
| SCL | I²C clock | Open-drain input; supports Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), and High-Speed (3.4 MHz) modes. |
| SDA | I²C data | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up; handles address/data/ACK transactions. |
| A0, A1 | I²C address select | Hardware-configurable slave address bits; enable up to four devices on same I²C bus. |
| LAT/HVC | Latch or HV programming | Configures latch timing (LAT mode) or enables MTP write (7.5 V HV command required). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile MTP memory | Stores DAC output, configuration, and GP data across 8 locations (32 writes each); retains settings after power loss. |
| Triple reference selection | Internal 1.214 V band gap, VDD, or external VREF - eliminates need for external reference IC in cost-sensitive designs. |
| Programmable gain (1×/2×) | 2× gain doubles output span when using external VREF ≤ VDD/2; extends dynamic range without external op amp. |
| Power-down modes | Three options: high-Z output + 100 kΩ or 1 kΩ pull-down; reduces quiescent current to 0.5–2.4 µA for battery operation. |
| WiperLock™ protection | Prevents inadvertent DAC register updates during I²C communication; enhances system reliability in noisy environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DAC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP47FVB01-E/MS | Volatile RAM-only memory (no MTP); identical pinout, resolution, and I²C interface. | Requires host MCU to reload DAC value at every power-up; unsuitable for standalone calibration storage. | Choose when firmware guarantees consistent initialization and MTP write endurance is unnecessary. |
| DAC8560IDGKR | 16-bit resolution, SPI interface, 2.7–5.5V supply; no internal reference or MTP; higher INL (±4 LSB). | Higher precision but lacks nonvolatile storage and I²C compatibility; needs external reference and SPI host. | Choose only if 16-bit resolution is mandatory and system already uses SPI; adds design complexity vs. plug-and-play I²C. |
Compared with MCP47FVB01-E/MS, the MCP47CMD01-E/UN provides guaranteed power-up output via MTP - critical for unattended calibration. Versus DAC8560IDGKR, it trades resolution for integrated reference, I²C simplicity, and field-programmable nonvolatility - reducing BOM count and firmware overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the MCP47CMD01-E/UN?
The MCP47CMD01-E/UN supports I²C High-Speed mode up to 3.4 Mbps, in addition to Standard (100 kHz) and Fast (400 kHz) modes. This allows rapid configuration and output updates in time-critical systems. The device meets I²C specification timing requirements across its full -40°C to +125°C operating range, and the MCP47CMD01-E/UN's SDA/SCL pins feature Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity.
Does the MCP47CMD01-E/UN require an external reference voltage?
No - the MCP47CMD01-E/UN integrates a 1.214 V (typical) internal band gap reference and also accepts VDD or an external VREF pin input. When using the internal reference, no external components are needed. The MCP47CMD01-E/UN supports buffered and unbuffered VREF modes, and gain selection (1× or 2×) further increases flexibility without external op amps.
How many times can the nonvolatile memory of the MCP47CMD01-E/UN be programmed?
The MCP47CMD01-E/UN's MTP memory supports exactly 32 write cycles per location. After the 32nd write, further attempts are ignored and the last written value is retained. This is sufficient for factory calibration or infrequent field updates but not for runtime reprogramming. All MTP operations require 7.5 V applied to the LAT/HVC pin, and the MCP47CMD01-E/UN enforces this via internal voltage detection.
What is the output settling time specification for the MCP47CMD01-E/UN?
The MCP47CMD01-E/UN achieves 4 µs settling time to within ±0.5 LSb for major code transitions (e.g., 1/4 to 3/4 of full scale), measured with RL = 2 kΩ and CL = 100 pF. This performance is enabled by its integrated rail-to-rail output amplifier and applies across the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. The MCP47CMD01-E/UN maintains this spec regardless of reference source or gain setting.
Can the MCP47CMD01-E/UN operate from a 1.8 V supply?
The MCP47CMD01-E/UN supports 1.8 V to 2.7 V operation for the I²C serial interface only - analog DAC performance (INL, settling, reference accuracy) is degraded below 2.7 V. Full specifications, including ±0.1 LSb INL and 4 µs settling, apply only from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. So while the MCP47CMD01-E/UN can communicate at 1.8 V, it must be powered at ≥2.7 V for precision analog output functionality.
