Product details
Overview
MCP48CVD01T-E/MF from Microchip Technology is a single-channel, 8-bit volatile-memory voltage-output DAC with SPI interface, 1 LSb integral nonlinearity (INL), ±0.5 LSb zero-scale error, and operation from 2.7V to 5.5V supply. It supports internal band gap (1.214 V), external VREF, or VDD as reference source and delivers rail-to-rail buffered output for precision trimming in sensor calibration circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MCP48CVD01T-E/MF datasheet, MCP48CVD01T-E/MF pinout, MCP48CVD01T-E/MF application, or MCP48CVD01T-E/MF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4 µs settling time, 270 kHz -3 dB bandwidth, SPI write speed up to 50 MHz, power-down modes with selectable 100 kΩ/1 kΩ pull-down, and extended temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) for industrial embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MCP48CVD01T-E/MF implements a resistor ladder architecture with buffered op-amp output stage, supporting gain options of 1× or 2× when using external VREF. Its volatile RAM register retains configuration only during power-on, requiring host MCU initialization at startup.
It features WiperLock™ technology to prevent unintended register changes, Power-on/Brown-out Reset (POR/BOR) circuitry ensuring known state after supply transitions, and Schmitt-trigger digital inputs compatible with mixed-voltage systems (1.8V–5.5V logic levels). The LAT/HVC pin enables MTP programming on related nonvolatile variants but is unused in this volatile version.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DAC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP48FVB01-E/MF | Same 8-bit resolution and MSOP-10 package, but uses Flash-based nonvolatile memory (MTP) instead of volatile RAM. | Retains last output value after power cycle; eliminates host re-initialization requirement. | Select when power-loss recovery or factory-set default output is required. |
| AD5620BRMZ-1 | 8-bit, SPI DAC from Analog Devices; 10-lead MSOP; ±1 LSB INL; 10 µs settling time; 2.7–5.5 V supply. | Higher INL (±1 LSB vs. ±0.1 LSb) and slower settling limit precision in high-repeatability calibration. | Choose if legacy ADI ecosystem compatibility or specific evaluation board availability is prioritized. |
Compared with MCP48FVB01-E/MF, the MCP48CVD01T-E/MF offers superior linearity and faster settling but requires host firmware to reload settings at power-up; versus AD5620BRMZ-1, it delivers tighter INL and lower power-down current, making it preferable for high-accuracy, low-power embedded calibration nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the MCP48CVD01T-E/MF?
The MCP48CVD01T-E/MF supports SPI write operations up to 50 MHz and read operations up to 25 MHz. This high-speed interface enables rapid updates in real-time control loops and allows efficient use of host processor bandwidth without requiring dedicated hardware peripherals.
Does the MCP48CVD01T-E/MF retain its output setting after power cycling?
No, the MCP48CVD01T-E/MF uses volatile RAM memory and does not retain its DAC register value after power loss. The output resets to the POR/BOR default (0x7F for 8-bit) upon each power-up, requiring the host MCU to reinitialize the register via SPI before valid analog output is generated.
Can the MCP48CVD01T-E/MF operate from a 1.8V supply?
The MCP48CVD01T-E/MF supports 1.8V to 2.7V operation for digital interface functionality only; full analog specifications-including INL, settling time, and reference accuracy-are guaranteed only from 2.7V to 5.5V. At 1.8V, analog performance degrades and is not characterized.
What reference voltage options are available on the MCP48CVD01T-E/MF?
The MCP48CVD01T-E/MF supports three reference sources: the device's VDD supply, an external voltage applied to the VREF pin (buffered or unbuffered), or the internal 1.214 V band gap. Gain options of 1× or 2× apply only when using external VREF, with VREF limited to ≤VDD/2 in 2× mode.
Is the LAT/HVC pin used for programming in the MCP48CVD01T-E/MF?
No - the LAT/HVC pin on the MCP48CVD01T-E/MF functions solely as a latch enable for synchronous DAC updates and has no high-voltage programming capability. MTP programming requires the nonvolatile variant (e.g., MCP48CMD01) and application of 7.5 V to LAT/HVC.
