MCP4802/4812/4822
8/10/12-Bit Dual Voltage Output Digital-to-Analog Converter
with Internal VREF and SPI Interface
Features
Description
•
•
•
•
•
•
The MCP4802/4812/4822 devices are dual 8-bit, 10-bit
and 12-bit buffered voltage output Digital-to-Analog
Converters (DACs), respectively. The devices operate
from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply with SPI compatible
Serial Peripheral Interface.
The devices have a high precision internal voltage
reference (VREF = 2.048V). The user can configure the
full-scale range of the device to be 2.048V or 4.096V by
setting the Gain Selection Option bit (gain of 1 of 2).
Each DAC channel can be operated in Active or
Shutdown mode individually by setting the Configuration
register bits. In Shutdown mode, most of the internal
circuits in the shutdown channel are turned off for power
savings and the output amplifier is configured to present
a known high resistance output load (500 k typical.
The devices include double-buffered registers,
allowing synchronous updates of two DAC outputs
using the LDAC pin. These devices also incorporate a
Power-on Reset (POR) circuit to ensure reliable powerup.
The devices utilize a resistive string architecture, with
its inherent advantages of low DNL error, low ratio
metric temperature coefficient and fast settling time.
These devices are specified over the extended
temperature range (+125°C).
The devices provide high accuracy and low noise
performance for consumer and industrial applications
where calibration or compensation of signals (such as
temperature, pressure and humidity) are required.
The MCP4802/4812/4822 devices are available in the
PDIP, SOIC and MSOP packages.

Supply Voltage Pins (VDD, VSS)
VDD is the positive supply voltage input pin. The input
supply voltage is relative to VSS and can range from
2.7V to 5.5V. The power supply at the VDD pin should
be as clean as possible for a good DAC performance.
It is recommended to use an appropriate bypass
capacitor of about 0.1 µF (ceramic) to ground. An
additional 10 µF capacitor (tantalum) in parallel is also
recommended to further attenuate high-frequency
noise present in application boards.
VSS is the analog ground pin and the current return path
of the device. The user must connect the VSS pin to a
ground plane through a low-impedance connection. If
an analog ground path is available in the application
Printed Circuit Board (PCB), it is highly recommended
that the VSS pin be tied to the analog ground path or
isolated within an analog ground plane of the circuit
board.

CS is the Chip Select input pin, which requires an
active-low to enable serial clock and data functions.

Serial Data Input (SDI)
SDI is the SPI compatible serial data input pin.
3.5
Latch DAC Input (LDAC)
LDAC (latch DAC synchronization input) pin is used to
transfer the input latch registers to their corresponding
DAC registers (output latches, VOUT). When this pin is
low, both VOUTA and VOUTB are updated at the same
time with their input register contents. This pin can be
tied to low (VSS) if the VOUT update is desired at the
rising edge of the CS pin. This pin can be driven by an
external control device such as an MCU I/O pin.
3.6
Analog Outputs (VOUTA, VOUTB)
VOUTA is the DAC A output pin, and VOUTB is the DAC
B output pin. Each output has its own output amplifier.
The full-scale range of the DAC output is from
VSS to G* VREF, where G is the gain selection option
(1x or 2x). The DAC analog output cannot go higher
than the supply voltage (VDD).
Serial Clock Input (SCK)
SCK is the SPI compatible serial clock input pin.

GENERAL OVERVIEW
The MCP4802, MCP4812 and MCP4822 are dual
voltage output 8-bit, 10-bit and 12-bit DAC devices,
respectively. These devices include rail-to-rail output
amplifiers, internal voltage reference, shutdown and
reset-management circuitry. The devices use an SPI
serial communication interface and operate with a single supply voltage from 2.7V to 5.5V.
The DAC input coding of these devices is straight
binary. Equation 4-1 shows the DAC analog output
voltage calculation.

OFFSET ERROR
An offset error is the deviation from zero voltage output
when the digital input code is zero.
4.0.4
OUTPUT AMPLIFIERS
The DAC’s outputs are buffered with a low-power,
precision CMOS amplifier. This amplifier provides low
offset voltage and low noise. The output stage enables
the device to operate with output voltages close to the
power supply rails. Refer to Section 1.0 “Electrical
Characteristics” for the analog output voltage range
and load conditions.
In addition to resistive load-driving capability, the
amplifier will also drive high capacitive loads without
oscillation. The amplifier’s strong outputs allow VOUT to
be used as a programmable voltage reference in a
system.
4.1.1.1

FIGURE 4-2:
4.1.1
Circuit Descriptions
Programmable Gain Block
The rail-to-rail output amplifier has two configurable
gain options: a gain of 1x (<GA> = 1) or a gain of 2x
(<GA> = 0). The default value for this bit is a gain
of 2 (<GA> = 0). This results in an ideal full-scale
output of 0.000V to 4.096V due to the internal
reference (VREF = 2.048V).
4.1.2
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The MCP4802/4812/4822 devices utilize internal
2.048V voltage reference. The voltage reference has a
low temperature coefficient and low noise
characteristics. Refer to Section 1.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for the voltage reference specifications.
GAIN ERROR
A gain error is the deviation from the ideal output,
VREF – 1 LSb, excluding the effects of offset error.

4.1.3
POWER-ON RESET CIRCUIT
The internal Power-on Reset (POR) circuit monitors the
power supply voltage (VDD) during the device
operation. The circuit also ensures that the DAC
powers up with high output impedance (<SHDN> = 0,
typically 500 k. The devices will continue to have a
high-impedance output until a valid write command is
received and the LDAC pin meets the input low
threshold.
If the power supply voltage is less than the POR
threshold (VPOR = 2.0V, typical), the DACs will be held
in their Reset state. The DACs will remain in that state
until VDD > VPOR and a subsequent write command is
received.
Figure 4-3 shows a typical power supply transient
pulse and the duration required to cause a reset to
occur, as well as the relationship between the duration
and trip voltage. A 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor,
mounted as close as possible to the VDD pin, can
provide additional transient immunity.
4.1.4
SHUTDOWN MODE
The user can shut down each DAC channel selectively
using a software command (<SHDN> = 0). During
Shutdown mode, most of the internal circuits in the
channel that was shut down are turned off for power
savings. The internal reference is not affected by the
shutdown command. The serial interface also remains
active, thus allowing a write command to bring the
device out of the Shutdown mode. There will be no
analog output at the channel that was shut down and
the VOUT pin is internally switched to a known resistive
load (500 k typical. Figure 4-4 shows the analog
output stage during the Shutdown mode.
The device will remain in Shutdown mode until the
<SHDN> bit = 1 is latched into the device. When a
DAC channel is changed from Shutdown to Active
mode, the output settling time takes < 10 µs, but
greater than the standard active mode settling time
(4.5 µs).

SERIAL INTERFACE
5.1
Overview
The MCP4802/4812/4822 devices are designed to
interface directly with the Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) port, available on many microcontrollers, and
supports Mode 0,0 and Mode 1,1. Commands and data
are sent to the device via the SDI pin, with data being
clocked-in on the rising edge of SCK. The
communications are unidirectional and, thus, data
cannot be read out of the MCP4802/4812/4822
devices. The CS pin must be held low for the duration
of a write command. The write command consists of
16 bits and is used to configure the DAC’s control and
data latches. Register 5-1 to Register 5-3 detail the
input register that is used to configure and load the
DACA and DACB registers for each device. Figure 5-1
to Figure 5-3 show the write command for each device.
Refer to Figure 1-1 and SPI Timing Specifications
Table for detailed input and output timing specifications
for both Mode 0,0 and Mode 1,1 operation.
 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
5.2
Write Command
The write command is initiated by driving the CS pin
low, followed by clocking the four Configuration bits and
the 12 data bits into the SDI pin on the rising edge of
SCK. The CS pin is then raised, causing the data to be
latched into the selected DAC’s input registers.
The MCP4802/4812/4822 devices utilize a doublebuffered latch structure to allow both DACA’s and
DACB’s outputs to be synchronized with the LDAC pin,
if desired.
By bringing down the LDAC pin to a low state, the contents stored in the DAC’s input registers are transferred
into the DAC’s output registers (VOUT), and both VOUTA
and VOUTB are updated at the same time.
All writes to the MCP4802/4812/4822 devices are
16-bit words. Any clocks after the first 16th clock will be
ignored. The Most Significant four bits are
Configuration bits. The remaining 12 bits are data bits.
No data can be transferred into the device with CS
high. The data transfer will only occur if 16 clocks have
been transferred into the device. If the rising edge of
CS occurs prior, shifting of data into the input registers
will be aborted.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
6.3
Output Noise Considerations
The MCP4802/4812/4822 family of devices are
general purpose DACs for various applications where
a precision operation with low-power and internal
voltage reference is required.
The voltage noise density (in µV/Hz) is illustrated in
Figure 2-13. This noise appears at VOUTX, and is
primarily a result of the internal reference voltage.
Its 1/f corner (fCORNER) is approximately 400 Hz.
Applications generally suited for the devices are:
Figure 2-14 illustrates the voltage noise (in mVRMS or
mVP-P). A small bypass capacitor on VOUTX is an
effective method to produce a single-pole Low-Pass
Filter (LPF) that will reduce this noise. For instance, a
bypass capacitor sized to produce a 1 kHz LPF would
result in an ENREF of about 100 µVRMS. This would be
necessary when trying to achieve the low DNL error
performance (at G = 1) that the MCP4802/4812/4822
devices are capable of. The tested range for stability is
.001µF through 4.7 µF.
Digital Interface
The MCP4802/4812/4822 devices utilize a 3-wire
synchronous serial protocol to transfer the DAC’s setup
and input codes from the digital devices. The serial
protocol can be interfaced to SPI or Microwire
peripherals that is common on many microcontroller
units (MCUs), including Microchip’s PIC® MCUs and
dsPIC® DSCs.
In addition to the three serial connections (CS, SCK
and SDI), the LDAC signal synchronizes the two DAC
outputs. By bringing down the LDAC pin to “low”, all
DAC input codes and settings in the two DAC input registers are latched into their DAC output registers at the
same time. Therefore, both DACA and DACB outputs
are updated at the same time. Figure 6-1 shows an
example of the pin connections. Note that the LDAC pin
can be tied low (VSS) to reduce the required
connections from 4 to 3 I/O pins. In this case, the DAC
output can be immediately updated when a valid
16 clock transmission has been received and the CS
pin has been raised.

Power Supply Considerations
The typical application will require a bypass capacitor
in order to filter out the noise in the power supply
traces. The noise can be induced onto the power
supply's traces from various events such as digital
switching or as a result of changes on the DAC's
output. The bypass capacitor helps to minimize the
effect of these noise sources. Figure 6-1 illustrates an
appropriate bypass strategy. In this example, two
bypass capacitors are used in parallel: (a) 0.1 µF
(ceramic) and (b)10 µF (tantalum). These capacitors
should be placed as close to the device power pin
(VDD) as possible (within 4 mm).
The power source supplying these devices should be
as clean as possible. If the application circuit has
separate digital and analog power supplies, VDD and
VSS of the device should reside on the analog plane.

Typical Connection
Layout Considerations
Inductively-coupled AC transients and digital switching
noises can degrade the output signal integrity, and
potentially reduce the device performance. Careful
board layout will minimize these effects and increase
the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). Bench testing has
shown that a multi-layer board utilizing a
low-inductance ground plane, isolated inputs and
isolated outputs with proper decoupling, is critical for
the best performance. Particularly harsh environments
may require shielding of critical signals.
Breadboards and wire-wrapped boards are not
recommended if low noise is desired.

Single-Supply Operation
6.5.1.1
Decreasing Output Step Size
The MCP4802/4812/4822 family of devices are rail-torail voltage output DAC devices designed to operate
with a VDD range of 2.7V to 5.5V. Its output amplifier is
robust enough to drive small-signal loads directly.
Therefore, it does not require any external output buffer
for most applications.
If the application is calibrating the bias voltage of a
diode or transistor, a bias voltage range of 0.8V may be
desired with about 200 µV resolution per step. Two
common methods to achieve a 0.8V range are to either
reduce VREF to 0.82V (using the MCP49XX family
device that uses external reference) or use a voltage
divider on the DAC’s output.
6.5.1
Using a VREF is an option if the VREF is available with
the desired output voltage range. However,
occasionally, when using a low-voltage VREF, the noise
floor causes SNR error that is intolerable. Using a
voltage divider method is another option and provides
some advantages when VREF needs to be very low or
when the desired output voltage is not available. In this
case, a larger value VREF is used while two resistors
scale the output range down to the precise desired
level.
DC SET POINT OR CALIBRATION
A common application for the devices is a digitallycontrolled set point and/or calibration of variable
parameters, such as sensor offset or slope. For
example, the MCP4822 provides 4096 output steps. If
G = 1 is selected, the internal 2.048V VREF would
produce 500 µV of resolution. If G = 2 is selected, the
internal 2.048 VREF would produce 1 mV of resolution.
Example 6-1 illustrates this concept. Note that the
bypass capacitor on the output of the voltage divider
plays a critical function in attenuating the output noise
of the DAC and the induced noise from the environment.

6.5.1.2
Building a “Window” DAC
If the threshold is not near VREF, 2VREF or VSS, then
creating a “window” around the threshold has several
advantages. One simple method to create this
“window” is to use a voltage divider network with a pullup and pull-down resistor. Example 6-2 shows this
concept.
When calibrating a set point or threshold of a sensor,
typically only a small portion of the DAC output range is
utilized. If the LSb size is adequate enough to meet the
application’s accuracy needs, the unused range is
sacrificed without consequences. If greater accuracy is
needed, then the output range will need to be reduced
to increase the resolution around the desired threshold.

Bipolar Operation
Example 6-3 illustrates a simple bipolar voltage source
configuration. R1 and R2 allow the gain to be selected,
while R3 and R4 shift the DAC's output to a selected
offset. Note that R4 can be tied to VDD, instead of VSS,
if a higher offset is desired. Also note that a pull-up to
VDD could be used instead of R4, or in addition to R4, if
a higher offset is desired.
Bipolar operation is achievable using the
MCP4802/4812/4822 family of devices by utilizing an
external operational amplifier (op amp). This
configuration is desirable due to the wide variety and
availability of op amps. This allows a general purpose
DAC, with its cost and availability advantages, to meet
almost any desired output voltage range, power and
noise performance.

DESIGN EXAMPLE: DESIGN A
BIPOLAR DAC USING EXAMPLE 6-3
WITH 12-BIT MCP4822 OR
MCP4821
An output step magnitude of 1 mV, with an output range
of ±2.05V, is desired for a particular application.
Step 1: Calculate the range: +2.05V – (-2.05V) = 4.1V.
Step 2: Calculate the resolution needed:
4.1V/1 mV = 4100
Since 212 = 4096, 12-bit resolution is
desired.
Step 3:The amplifier gain (R2/R1), multiplied by fullscale VOUT (4.096V), must be equal to the
desired minimum output to achieve bipolar
operation. Since any gain can be realized by
choosing resistor values (R1+R2), the VREF
value must be selected first. If a VREF of 4.096V
is used (G=2), solve for the amplifier’s gain by
setting the DAC to 0, knowing that the output
needs to be -2.05V.

--------- = ----------------R1

------ = --R1

If R1 = 20 k and R2 = 10 k, the gain will be 0.5.

4096, knowing that the output needs to be
+2.05V.

This circuit is typically used for linearizing a sensor
whose slope and offset varies.
The equation to design a bipolar “window” DAC would

In some applications, precision digital control of the

Designing a Double-Precision
DAC Using a Dual DAC
Step 1: Calculate the resolution needed:
Example 6-5 illustrates how to design a single-supply
voltage output capable of up to 24-bit resolution from a
dual 12-bit DAC (MCP4822). This design is simply a
voltage divider with a buffered output.
As an example, if an application similar to the one
developed in Section 6.6.1 “Design Example:
Design a Bipolar DAC Using Example 6-3 with 12bit MCP4822 or MCP4821” required a resolution of
1 µV instead of 1 mV, and a range of 0V to 4.1V, then
12-bit resolution would not be adequate.
EXAMPLE 6-5:
4.1V/1 µV = 4.1 x 106. Since 222 = 4.2 x 106,
22-bit
resolution
is
desired.
Since
DNL = ±0.75 LSb, this design can be done
with the 12-bit MCP4822 DAC.
Step 2: Since DACB’s VOUTB has a resolution of 1 mV,
its output only needs to be “pulled” 1/1000 to
meet the 1 µV target. Dividing VOUTA by 1000
would allow the application to compensate for
DACB’s DNL error.
Step 3: If R2 is 100, then R1 needs to be 100 k.
Step 4: The resulting transfer function is shown in the
equation of Example 6-5.

Building Programmable Current
Source
However, this also reduces the resolution that the
current can be controlled with. The voltage divider, or
“window”, DAC configuration would allow the range to
be reduced, thus increasing resolution around the
range of interest. When working with very small sensor
voltages, plan on eliminating the amplifier’s offset error
by storing the DAC’s setting under known sensor
conditions.
Example 6-6 shows an example of building a
programmable current source using a voltage follower.
The current sensor (sensor resistor) is used to convert
the DAC voltage output into a digitally-selectable
current source.
Adding the resistor network from Example 6-2 would
be advantageous in this application. The smaller
RSENSE is, the less power dissipated across it.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.
MICROCHIP MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, RELATED TO THE INFORMATION,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ITS CONDITION,
QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR PURPOSE. Microchip disclaims all liability
arising from this information and its use. Use of Microchip
devices in life support and/or safety applications is entirely at
the buyer’s risk, and the buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Microchip from any and all damages, claims,
suits, or expenses resulting from such use. No licenses are
conveyed, implicitly or otherwise, under any Microchip
