Product details
Overview
MCP47CVB11-E/MG from Microchip Technology is a single-channel, 10-bit volatile-memory voltage-output DAC with I²C interface, 1 LSB INL, ±0.25 LSB DNL, and operation from 2.7V to 5.5V. It supports internal bandgap (1.214 V), external VREF, or VDD as reference source and delivers buffered analog output for precision trimming in sensor calibration and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MCP47CVB11-E/MG datasheet, MCP47CVB11-E/MG pinout, MCP47CVB11-E/MG application, or MCP47CVB11-E/MG equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-bit resolution, 16 µs settling time, dual power-down resistor options (1 kΩ/100 kΩ), I²C high-speed mode support (up to 3.4 Mbps), and extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The MCP47CVB11-E/MG implements a resistor ladder architecture with buffered op-amp output stage, enabling rail-to-rail voltage output with 60 kHz –3 dB bandwidth and 0.15 V/µs slew rate. Its I²C interface supports Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), and High-Speed (3.4 MHz) modes, with register-defined slave addressing via A0/A1 pins.
Power management includes POR/BOR circuitry ensuring reliable reset at VDD > 1.75 V (rising) and < 1.61 V (falling), plus programmable power-down modes that disconnect the output buffer and select pull-down resistors. The LAT/HVC pin enables MTP programming when driven to 7.5 V, though MCP47CVB11 uses volatile RAM only - no nonvolatile memory writes are supported.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DAC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP47CVB12-E/MG | 12-bit resolution (4096 steps), ±1 LSB INL, identical package and interface | Higher resolution required for metrology-grade calibration or finer actuator control | Select when >10-bit monotonicity and <0.025% FS step size are mandatory; otherwise MCP47CVB11-E/MG offers optimal cost/performance balance |
| AD5621BRMZ-REEL7 | 10-bit, SPI interface, internal 2.5 V reference, 1.25 µA power-down current, MSOP-8 package | Systems constrained by SPI-only host interfaces or requiring lower standby current | Choose for SPI-based microcontrollers or ultra-low-power sleep budgets; MCP47CVB11-E/MG preferred for I²C bus efficiency and wider voltage range (1.8–5.5 V operation) |
Compared with MCP47CVB12-E/MG, the MCP47CVB11-E/MG trades 2 bits of resolution for tighter INL (±0.25 vs ±1 LSB) and lower cost, while matching all timing, power, and package specs. Against AD5621BRMZ-REEL7, it offers I²C compatibility, broader supply range, and integrated VDD/VREF/bandgap reference selection - critical for flexible system integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the MCP47CVB11-E/MG?
The MCP47CVB11-E/MG supports I²C High-Speed mode up to 3.4 Mbps, in addition to Standard (100 kHz) and Fast (400 kHz) modes. This allows rapid register updates in multi-DAC configurations and reduces configuration latency in time-critical applications. All timing parameters - including setup, hold, and pulse widths - are fully characterized across the –40°C to +125°C range per DS20006089B.
Does the MCP47CVB11-E/MG include nonvolatile memory for power-up output retention?
No, the MCP47CVB11-E/MG uses volatile RAM only - it does not contain MTP (Multi-Time Programming) memory. Upon power-up, the DAC output defaults to mid-scale (0x1FF for 10-bit) unless explicitly written by the host controller. This eliminates high-voltage programming requirements and simplifies firmware initialization sequences compared to MTP variants like MCP47CMB11.
What reference voltage options are available for the MCP47CVB11-E/MG, and how are they selected?
The MCP47CVB11-E/MG supports three reference sources: device VDD, external VREF pin (buffered or unbuffered), or internal 1.214 V bandgap. Selection is controlled by VRxB:VRxA bits in the Configuration Register. When VREF is used, gain options of 1× or 2× apply - but 2× requires VREF ≤ VDD/2 to avoid saturation. All options are electrically validated across the full operating temperature and voltage range.
What is the output settling time specification for the MCP47CVB11-E/MG, and under what conditions is it measured?
The MCP47CVB11-E/MG has a typical settling time of 16 µs to within ±0.5 LSB of final value, measured for a major code transition (e.g., 0x400 → 0xC00 in 10-bit mode) into a 2 kΩ load with 100 pF capacitance. This performance is maintained across –40°C to +125°C and 2.7 V to 5.5 V VDD, enabling deterministic timing in closed-loop feedback systems.
Can the MCP47CVB11-E/MG operate from a 1.8 V supply, and what specifications apply?
Yes, the MCP47CVB11-E/MG operates down to 1.8 V, but only the digital I²C interface remains fully functional; analog performance (INL, DNL, settling time, THD) is specified only for 2.7 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V, the device supports Standard and Fast I²C modes (100/400 kHz) with adjusted VIH/VIL thresholds, making it suitable for partial-power domains where analog output is disabled or externally buffered.
