Description
The MCP4706/4716/4726 are single channel 8-bit,
10-bit, and 12-bit buffered voltage output Digital-toAnalog Converters (DAC) with nonvolatile memory and
an I2C Serial Interface. This family will also be referred
to as MCP47X6.
The VREF pin or the device VDD can be selected as the
DAC’s reference voltage. When VDD is selected, VDD is
connected internally to the DAC reference circuit.
When the VREF pin is used, the user can select the
output buffer’s gain to 1 or 2. When the gain is 2, the
VREF pin voltage should be limited to a maximum of
VDD/2.
The DAC Register value and configuration bits can be
programmed to nonvolatile memory (EEPROM). The
nonvolatile memory holds the DAC Register and
configuration bit values when the device is powered off.
A device reset (such as a Power On Reset) latches
these stored values into the volatile memory.
Power-down modes enable system current reduction
when the DAC output voltage is not required. The VOUT
pin can be configured to present a low, medium, or high
resistance load.
These devices have a two-wire I2C™ compatible serial
interface for standard (100 kHz), fast (400 kHz), or high
speed (3.4 MHz) mode.
These devices are available in small 6-pin SOT-23 and
DFN 2x2 mm packages.

Conditions
As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(minimum 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of START or STOP conditions.
A fast-mode (400 kHz) I2C-bus device can be used in a standard-mode (100 kHz) I2C-bus system, but the
requirement tSU;DAT ≥ 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not
stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal,
it must output the next data bit to the SDA line.
TR max.+tSU;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the standard-mode I2C bus specification) before
the SCL line is released.
The MCP47X6 device must provide a data hold time to bridge the undefined part between VIH and VIL of
the falling edge of the SCL signal. This specification is not a part of the I2C specification, but must be tested
in order to ensure that the output data will meet the setup and hold specifications for the receiving device.
Use Cb in pF for the calculations.
Not Tested. This parameter ensured by characterization.
A Master Transmitter must provide a delay to ensure that difference between SDA and SCL fall times do
not unintentionally create a Start or Stop condition.
If this parameter is too short, it can create an unintentional Start or Stop condition to other devices on the
I2C bus line. If this parameter is too long, the Data Input Setup (TSU:DAT) or Clock Low time (TLOW) can be
affected.
Data Input: This parameter must be longer than tSP.
Data Output: This parameter is characterized, and tested indirectly by testing TAA parameter.
Ensured by the TAA 3.4 MHz specification test.
The specification is not part of the I2C specification. TAA = THD:DAT + TFSDA (or TRSDA).

As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(minimum 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of START or STOP conditions.
A fast-mode (400 kHz) I2C-bus device can be used in a standard-mode (100 kHz) I2C-bus system, but the
requirement tSU;DAT ≥ 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not
stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal,
it must output the next data bit to the SDA line.
TR max.+tSU;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the standard-mode I2C bus specification) before
the SCL line is released.
The MCP47X6 device must provide a data hold time to bridge the undefined part between VIH and VIL of
the falling edge of the SCL signal. This specification is not a part of the I2C specification, but must be tested
in order to ensure that the output data will meet the setup and hold specifications for the receiving device.
Use Cb in pF for the calculations.
Not Tested. This parameter ensured by characterization.
A Master Transmitter must provide a delay to ensure that difference between SDA and SCL fall times do
not unintentionally create a Start or Stop condition.
If this parameter is too short, it can create an unintentional Start or Stop condition to other devices on the
I2C bus line. If this parameter is too long, the Data Input Setup (TSU:DAT) or Clock Low time (TLOW) can be
affected.
Data Input: This parameter must be longer than tSP.
Data Output: This parameter is characterized, and tested indirectly by testing TAA parameter.
Ensured by the TAA 3.4 MHz specification test.
The specification is not part of the I2C specification. TAA = THD:DAT + TFSDA (or TRSDA).

3.1
Analog Output Voltage Pin (VOUT)
VOUT is the DAC analog output pin. The DAC output
has an output amplifier. VOUT can swing from
approximately 0V to approximately VDD. The full-scale
range of the DAC output is from VSS to G * VRL, where
G is the gain selection option (1x or 2x).
In normal mode, the DC impedance of the output pin is
about 1Ω. In Power-Down mode, the output pin is
internally connected to a known pull-down resistor of
1 kΩ, 125 kΩ, or 640 kΩ. The Power-Down selection
bits settings are shown Table 4-2.
3.2
Positive Power Supply Input (VDD)
VDD is the positive supply voltage input pin. The input
supply voltage is relative to VSS.
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.
3.3
3.4
Serial Data Pin (SDA)
SDA is the serial data pin of the I2C interface. The SDA
pin is used to write or read the DAC registers and
configuration bits. The SDA pin is an open-drain
N-channel driver. Therefore, it needs a pull-up resistor
from the VDD line to the SDA pin. Except for start and
stop conditions, the data on the SDA pin must be stable
during the high period of the clock. The high or low
state of the SDA pin can only change when the clock
signal on the SCL pin is low. Refer to Section 5.0 “I2C
Serial Interface” for more details of I2C Serial
Interface communication.
3.5
Serial Clock Pin (SCL)
SCL is the serial clock pin of the I2C interface. The
MCP47X6 devices act only as a slave and the SCL pin
accepts only external serial clocks. The input data from
the Master device is shifted into the SDA pin on the
rising edges of the SCL clock and output from the
device occurs at the falling edges of the SCL clock. The
SCL pin is an open-drain N-channel driver. Therefore,
it needs a pull-up resistor from the VDD line to the SCL
pin. Refer to Section 5.0 “I2C Serial Interface” for
more details of I2C Serial Interface communication.
Ground (VSS)
The VSS pin is the device ground reference.
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 PCB (printed
circuit board), 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.
3.6
Voltage Reference Pin (VREF)
This pin is used for the external voltage reference input.
The user can select VDD voltage or the VREF pin
voltage as the reference resistor ladder’s voltage
reference.
When the VREF pin signal is selected, there is an option
for this voltage to be buffered or unbuffered. This is
offered in cases where the reference voltage does not
have the current capability not to drop its voltage when
connected to the internal resistor ladder circuit.
When the VDD is selected as reference voltage, this pin
is disconnected from the internal circuit.
See Section 4.2 “DAC’s (Resistor Ladder)
Reference Voltage” and Table 4-4 for more details on
the configuration bits.
3.7
Exposed Pad (EP)
This pad is conductively connected to the device's
substrate. This pad should be tied to the same potential
as the VSS pin (or left unconnected). This pad could be
used to assist as a heat sink for the device when
connected to a PCB heat sink.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
4.1
The MCP4706, MCP4716, and MCP4726 devices are
single channel voltage output 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit
DAC devices with nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) and
an I2C serial interface. This family will be referred to as
MCP47X6.
The devices use a resistor ladder architecture. The
resistor ladder DAC is driven from a software
selectable voltage reference source. The source can
be either the device’s internal VDD or the external VREF
pin voltage.
The DAC output is buffered with a low power and
precision output amplifier (op amp). This output
amplifier provides a rail-to-rail output with low offset
voltage and low noise. The gain of the output buffer is
software configurable.
This device also has user programmable nonvolatile
memory (EEPROM), which allows the user to save the
desired POR/BOR value of the DAC register and
device configuration bits.
The devices use a two-wire I2C serial communication
interface and operate with a single supply voltage from
2.7V to 5.5V.
Power-On-Reset / Brown Out
Reset (POR/BOR)
The internal Power-On-Reset (POR) / Brown-Out
Reset (BOR) circuit monitors the power supply voltage
(VDD) during operation. This circuit ensures correct
device start-up at system power-up and power-down
events. VRAM is the RAM retention voltage and is
always lower than the POR trip point voltage.
POR occurs as the voltage is rising (typically from 0V),
while BOR occurs as the voltage is falling (typically
from VDD(MIN) or higher).
When the rising VDD voltage crosses the VPOR trip
point, the following occurs:
• Nonvolatile DAC Register value latched into
volatile DAC Register
• Nonvolatile configuration bit values latched into
volatile configuration bits
• POR status bit is set (“1”)
• The reset delay timer starts; when timer times out
(tPORD), the I2C interface is operational.
The analog output (VOUT) state will be determined by
the state of the volatile configuration bits and the DAC
Register. This is called a POR reset (event).
When the falling VDD voltage crosses the VPOR trip
point, the following occurs:
• Device is forced into a power down state
(PD1:PD0 = ‘11’). Analog circuitry is turned off.
• Volatile DAC Register is forced to 000h
• Volatile configuration bits VREF1, VREF0 and G are
forced to ‘0’
Figure 4-1 illustrates the conditions for power-up and
power-down events under typical conditions.

4.2
DAC’s (Resistor Ladder)
Reference Voltage
The device can be configured to use one of three
voltage sources for the resistor ladder’s reference
voltage (VRL) (see Figure 4-2). These are:
1.
2.
3.
VDD pin voltage
VREF pin voltage internally buffered
VREF pin voltage unbuffered
The selection of the voltage is specified with the volatile
VREF1:VREF0 configuration bits (see Table 4-4). There
are nonvolatile and volatile VREF1:VREF0 configuration
bits. On a POR/BOR event, the state of the nonvolatile
VREF1:VREF0 configuration bits are latched into the
volatile VREF1:VREF0 configuration bits.
When the user selects the VDD as reference, the VREF
pin voltage is not connected to the resistor ladder.
If the VREF pin is selected, then one needs to select
between the buffered or unbuffered mode.
In unbuffered mode, the VREF pin voltage may be from
VSS to VDD.
Note:
In unbuffered mode, the voltage source
should have a low output impedance. If
the voltage source has a high output
impedance, then the voltage on the
VREF’s pin would be lower than expected.
The resistor ladder has a typical
impedance of 210 kΩ and a typical
capacitance of 29 pF.
4.3
The resistor ladder is a digital potentiometer with the B
Terminal internally grounded and the A terminal
connected to the selected reference voltage (see
Figure 4-3). The volatile DAC register controls the
wiper position. The wiper voltage (VW) is proportional to
the DAC register value divided by the number of
resistor elements (RS) in the ladder (256, 1024, or
4096) related to the VRL voltage.
Note:
Any variation or noises on the reference
source can directly affect the DAC output.
The reference voltage needs to be as
clean as possible for accurate DAC
performance.
The maximum wiper position is 2n - 1,
while the number of resistors in the
resistor ladder is 2n. This means that
when the DAC register is at full scale,
there is one resistor element (RS)
between the wiper and the VRL voltage.
The resistor ladder (RRL) has a typical impedance of
approximately 210 kΩ. This resistor ladder resistance
(RRL) may vary from device to device up to ±20%.
Since this is a voltage divider configuration, the actual
RRL resistance does not effect the output given a fixed
voltage at VRL.
If the unbuffered VREF pin is used as the VRL voltage
source, this voltage source should have a low output
impedance.
When the DAC is powered down, the resistor ladder is
disconnected from the selected reference voltage.
PD1:PD0
In buffered mode, the VREF pin voltage may be from
0.01V to VDD-0.04V. The input buffer (amplifier)
provides low offset voltage, low noise, and a very high
input impedance, with only minor limitations on the
input range and frequency response.

Output Buffer / VOUT Operation
The DAC output is buffered with a low power and
precision output amplifier (op amp). Figure 4-4 shows
a block diagram.
This amplifier provides a rail-to-rail output with low
offset voltage and low noise. The user can select the
output gain of the output amplifier. Gain options are:
a)
b)
Gain of 1, with either VDD or VREF pin used as
reference voltage
Gain of 2, only when VREF pin is used as
reference voltage. The VREF pin voltage should
be limited to VDD/2.
The amplifier’s output can drive the resistive and high
capacitive loads without oscillation. The amplifier
provides a maximum load current which is enough for
most programmable voltage reference applications.
Refer to Section 1.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for
the specifications of the output amplifier.
Note:
The load resistance must keep higher
than 5 kΩ for the stable and expected
analog output (to meet electrical
specifications).
In any of the three Power-Down modes, the op amp is
powered down and it’s output becomes a high
impedance to the VOUT pin.
Gain (1x or 2x)
(G = 0 or 1)
4.4.2
OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The volatile DAC Register’s value controls the analog
VOUT voltage, along with the device’s five configuration
bits. The volatile DAC Register’s value is unsigned
binary.
The formula for the output voltage is given in
Equation 4-1. Table 4-1 shows examples of volatile
DAC Register values and the corresponding theoretical
VOUT voltage for the MCP47X6 devices.
Note:
When Gain = 2 (VRL = VREF),
if VREF > VDD / 2, the VOUT voltage will be
limited to VDD. So if VREF = VDD, then the
VOUT voltage will not change for volatile
DAC Register values mid-scale and
greater, since the op amp at full scale
output.

The DAC register value will be latched on the falling
edge of the acknowledge pulse of the write command’s
last byte. Then the VOUT voltage will start driving to the
new value.
The following events update the analog voltage output
(VOUT):

PROGRAMMABLE GAIN
The amplifier’s gain is controlled by the Gain (G)
configuration bit (See Table 4-4) and the VRL reference
selection. When the VRL reference selection is the
device’s VDD voltage, the G bit is ignored and a gain of
1 is used. The volatile G bit value can be modified by:
•
•
•
•
POR event
BOR event
I2C write commands
I2C General Call Reset command
• Power-On-Reset or General Call Reset
command: Output is updated with EEPROM data.
• Falling edge of the acknowledge pulse of the last
write command byte.
4.4.2.1
Resolution / Step Voltage
The Step voltage is dependent on the device resolution
and the output voltage range. One LSb is defined as
the ideal voltage difference between two successive
codes. The step voltage can easily be calculated by
using Equation 4-1 where the DAC Register Value is
equal to 1.
4.4.3
DRIVING RESISTIVE AND
CAPACITIVE LOADS
The VOUT pin can drive up to 100 pF of capacitive load
in parallel with a 5 kΩ resistive load (to meet electrical
specifications). Figure 2-57 shows the VOUT vs.
Resistive Load.
VOUT drops slowly as the load resistance decreases
after about 3.5 kΩ. It is recommended to use a load
with RL greater than 5 kΩ.

VRL is the resistor ladder’s reference voltage. It is independent of VREF1:VREF0 selection.
Gain selection of 2x requires voltage reference source to come from VREF pin and
requires VREF pin voltage ≤ VDD / 2.
Requires G = ‘1’, VREF1:VREF0 = ‘10’ or ‘11’, and VRL ≤ VDD / 2.
These theoretical calculations do not take into account the offset and gain errors.

Power-Down Operation
Gain (1x or 2x)
(Gx = 0 or 1)
To allow the application to conserve power when the
DAC operation is not required, three power down
modes are available. The Power-Down configuration
bits (PD1:PD0) control the power down operation
(Figure 4-5). All power down modes do the following:
VW
Depending on the selected power down mode, the
following will occur:
FIGURE 4-5:
Diagram.
• VOUT pin is switched to one of three resistive pull
downs (See Table 4-2)
- 640kΩ (typical)
- 125kΩ (typical)
- 1kΩ (typical)
4.5.1
There is a delay (TPDE) between the PD1:PD0 bits
changing from ‘00’ to either ‘01’, ‘10’, or ‘11’ and the op
amp no longer driving the VOUT output and the pull
down resistors are sinking current.
In any of the power down modes, where the VOUT pin
is not externally connected (sinking or sourcing
current), the power down current will typical be 60 nA
(see Section 1.0 “Electrical Characteristics”).
Section 6.0 “MCP47X6 I2C Commands” describes
the I2C commands for writing the power-down bits. The
commands that can update the volatile PD1:PD0 bits
are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Write Volatile DAC Register
Write Volatile Memory
Write All Memory
Write Volatile Configuration bits
General Call Reset
General Call Wake-up
Note:
The I2C serial interface circuit is not
affected by the Power-Down mode. This
circuit remains active in order to receive
any command that might come from the
I2C master device.

When the device exits the power down mode the
following occurs:
• Disabled circuits (op amp, resistor ladder, ...) are
turned on
• Resistor ladder is connected to selected
reference voltage (VRL)
• Selected pull down resistor is disconnected
• The VOUT output will be driven to the voltage
represented by the volatile DAC Register’s value
and configuration bits
The VOUT output signal will require time as these
circuits are powered up and the output voltage is driven
to the specified value as determined by the volatile
DAC register and configuration bits.
Note:
Since the op amp and resistor ladder were
powered off (0V), the op amp’s input
voltage (VW) can be considered 0V. There
is a delay (TPDD) between the PD1:PD0
bits updated to ‘00’ and the op amp driving
the VOUT output. The op amp’s settling
time (from 0V) needs to be taken into
account to ensure the VOUT voltage
reflects the selected value.
The following events will change the PD1:PD0 bits to
‘00’ and therefore exit the Power-Down mode. These
are:
• Any I2C write command for where the PD1:PD0
bits are ‘00’.
• I2C General Call Wake-up Command.
• I2C General Call Reset Command.
(if nonvolatile PD1:PD0 bits are ‘00’).

Device Resets
4.7
Device Resets can be grouped into two types. Resets
due to change in voltage (POR/BOR Reset), and resets
caused by the system master (such as a
microcontroller).
The MCP47X6 devices have both volatile and
nonvolatile (EEPROM) memory. Figure 4-6 shows the
volatile and nonvolatile memory and their interaction
due to a POR event.
After a device reset, and when VDD ≥ VDD(MIN), the
device memory may be written or read.
4.6.1
There are five configuration bits in both the volatile and
nonvolatile memory, the DAC registers in both the
volatile and nonvolatile memory, and two volatile status
bits. The DAC registers (volatile and nonvolatile) will be
either 12-bits (MCP4726), 10-bits (MCP4716), or 8-bits
(MCP4706) wide.
POR/BOR RESET OPERATION
The POR and BOR trip points are at the same voltage,
and is determined if the VDD voltage is rising or falling
(see Figure 4-1). What occurs is different depending if
the reset is a POR or BOR reset.
When the device is first powered up, it automatically
uploads the EEPROM memory values to the volatile
memory. The volatile memory determines the analog
output (VOUT) pin voltage. After the device is powered
up, the user can update the device memory.
POR Reset (VDD Rising)
On a POR Reset, the nonvolatile memory values (DAC
Register and Configuration bits) are latched into the
volatile memory. This configures the analog output
(VOUT) circuitry. Also a reset delay timer starts. During
this delay time, the I2C interface will not accept
commands.
The I2C interface is how this memory is read and
written. Refer to Section 5.0 “I2C Serial Interface”
and Section 6.0 “MCP47X6 I2C Commands” for
more details on the reading and writing the device’s
memory.
When the nonvolatile memory is written (using the I2C
Write All Memory command), the volatile memory is
written with the same values. The device starts writing
the EEPROM cell at the acknowledge pulse of the
EEPROM write command.
BOR Reset (VDD Falling)
On a BOR Reset, the device is forced into a power
down state. The volatile PD1:PD0 bits forced to ‘11’ and
all other volatile memory forced to ‘0’. The I2C interface
will not accept commands.
4.6.2
DAC Registers, Configuration
Bits, and Status Bits
Table 4-3 shows the operation of the device status bits,
Table 4-4 shows the operation of the device
configuration bits, and Table 4-5 shows the factory
default value of a POR/BOR event for the device
configuration bits.
RESET COMMANDS
When the MCP47X6 is in the valid operating voltage,
the I2C General Call Reset command will force a reset
event. This is similar to the POR reset, except that the
reset delay timer is not started.
There are two Status bits. These are only in volatile
memory and give indication on the status of the device.
The POR bit indicates if the device VDD is above or
below the POR trip point. During normal operation, this
bit should be ‘1’. The RDY/BSY bit indicates if an
EEPROM write cycle is in progress. While the RDY/
BSY bit is low (during the EEPROM writing), all
commands are ignored, except for the Read Command
command.
2C
In the case where the I Interface bus does not seem
to be responsive, the technique shown in Section 8.9,
Software I2C Interface Reset Sequence can be used
to force the I2C interface to be reset.

I2C SERIAL INTERFACE
5.0
The MCP47X6 devices support the I2C serial protocol.
The MCP47X6 I2C’s module operates in Slave mode
(does not generate the serial clock).
5.1
5.2
Signal Descriptions
The I2C interface uses up to two pins (signals). These
are:
• SDA (Serial Data)
• SCL (Serial Clock)
Overview
2
This I C interface is a two-wire interface. Figure 5-1
shows a typical I2C Interface connection.
The I2C interface specifies different communication bit
rates. These are referred to as standard, fast or high
speed modes. The MCP47X6 supports these three
modes. The bit rates of these modes are:
• Standard Mode: bit rates up to 100 kbit/s
• Fast Mode: bit rates up to 400 kbit/s
• High Speed Mode (HS mode): bit rates up to
3.4 Mbit/s
A device that sends data onto the bus is defined as
transmitter, and a device receiving data as receiver.
The bus has to be controlled by a master device which
generates the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus
access and generates the START and STOP
conditions. The MCP47X6 device works as slave. Both
master and slave can operate as transmitter or
receiver, but the master device determines which mode
is activated. Communication is initiated by the master
(microcontroller) which sends the START bit, followed
by the slave address byte. The first byte transmitted is
always the slave address byte, which contains the
device code, the address bits, and the R/W bit.
5.2.1
SERIAL DATA (SDA)
The Serial Data (SDA) signal is the data signal of the
device. The value on this pin is latched on the rising
edge of the SCL signal when the signal is an input.
With the exception of the START and STOP conditions,
the high or low state of the SDA pin can only change
when the clock signal on the SCL pin is low. During the
high period of the clock, the SDA pin’s value (high or
low) must be stable. Changes in the SDA pin’s value
while the SCL pin is HIGH will be interpreted as a
START or a STOP condition.
5.2.2
SERIAL CLOCK (SCL)
The Serial Clock (SCL) signal is the clock signal of the
device. The rising edge of the SCL signal latches the
value on the SDA pin.
The MCP47X6 will not stretch the clock signal (SCL)
since memory read access occurs fast enough.
Depending on the clock rate mode, the interface will
display different characteristics.

I2C Operation
5.3.1.3
The MCP47X6’s I2C module is compatible with the
NXP I2C specification. The following lists some of the
module’s features:
• 7-bit slave addressing
• Supports three clock rate modes:
- Standard mode, clock rates up to 100 kHz
- Fast mode, clock rates up to 400 kHz
- High-speed mode (HS mode), clock rates up
to 3.4 MHz
• Support Multi-Master Applications
• General call addressing (Reset and Wake-Up
commands)
The I2C 10-bit addressing mode is not supported.
The NXP I2C specification only defines the field types,
field lengths, timings, etc. of a frame. The frame
content defines the behavior of the device. The frame
content for the MCP47X6 is defined in Section 6.0.
5.3.1
I2C BIT STATES AND SEQUENCE
Figure 5-8 shows the I2C transfer sequence. The serial
clock is generated by the master. The following
definitions are used for the bit states:
• Start bit (S)
• Data bit
• Acknowledge (A) bit (driven low) /
No Acknowledge (A) bit (not driven low)
• Repeated Start bit (Sr)
• Stop bit (P)

Not A (A) Response
The A bit has the SDA signal high. Table 5-1 shows
some of the conditions where the Slave Device will
issue a Not A (A).
If an error condition occurs (such as an A instead of A),
then a START bit must be issued to reset the command
state machine.
Event
The Start bit (see Figure 5-2) indicates the beginning of
a data transfer sequence. The Start bit is defined as the
SDA signal falling when the SCL signal is “High”.
1st Bit
The A bit (see Figure 5-4) is typically a response from
the receiving device to the transmitting device.
Depending on the context of the transfer sequence, the
A bit may indicate different things. Typically the Slave
device will supply an A response after the Start bit and
8 “data” bits have been received. An A bit has the SDA
signal low.

Repeated Start Bit
The Repeated Start bit (see Figure 5-5) indicates the
current Master Device wishes to continue
communicating with the current Slave Device without
releasing the I2C bus. The Repeated Start condition is
the same as the Start condition, except that the
Repeated Start bit follows a Start bit (with the Data bits
+ A bit) and not a Stop bit.
Stop Bit
The Stop bit (see Figure 5-6) Indicates the end of the
I2C Data Transfer Sequence. The Stop bit is defined as
the SDA signal rising when the SCL signal is “High”.
A Stop bit resets the I2C interface of all MCP47X6
devices.
SDA A / A
The Start bit is the beginning of a data transfer
sequence and is defined as the SDA signal falling when
the SCL signal is “High”.
SCL
P
Note 1: A bus collision during the Repeated Start
condition occurs if:
FIGURE 5-6:
Transmit Mode.
• SDA is sampled low when SCL goes
from low to high.
5.3.2
• SCL goes low before SDA is asserted
low. This may indicate that another
master is attempting to transmit a
data "1".
Stop Condition Receive or
CLOCK STRETCHING
“Clock Stretching” is something that the receiving
Device can do, to allow additional time to “respond” to
the “data” that has been received.
The MCP47X6 will not stretch the clock signal (SCL)
since memory read access occurs fast enough.
5.3.3
1st Bit
SDA
If any part of the I2C transmission does not meet the
command format, it is aborted. This can be intentionally
accomplished with a START or STOP condition. This is
done so that noisy transmissions (usually an extra
START or STOP condition) are aborted before they
corrupt the device.

HS MODE
After switching to the High-Speed mode, the next
transferred byte is the I2C control byte, which specifies
the device to communicate with, and any number of
data bytes plus acknowledgements. The Master
Device can then either issue a Repeated Start bit to
address a different device (at High-Speed) or a Stop bit
to return to Fast/Standard bus speed. After the Stop bit,
any other Master Device (in a Multi-Master system) can
arbitrate for the I2C bus.
2
The I C specification requires that a high-speed mode
device must be ‘activated’ to operate in high-speed
(3.4 Mbit/s) mode. This is done by the Master sending
a special address byte following the START bit. This
byte is referred to as the high-speed Master Mode
Code (HSMMC).
The MCP47X6 device does not acknowledge this byte.
However, upon receiving this command, the device
switches to HS mode. The device can now
communicate at up to 3.4 Mbit/s on SDA and SCL
lines. The device will switch out of the HS mode on the
next STOP condition.
See Figure 5-10 for illustration of HS mode command
sequence.
For more information on the HS mode, or other I2C
modes, please refer to the NXP I2C specification.

GENERAL CALL
The MCP47X6 has two General Call Commands. The
function of these commands are:
The General Call is a method that the “Master” device
can communicate with all other “Slave” devices. In a
Multi-Master application, the other Master devices are
operating in Slave mode. The General Call address
has two documented formats. These are shown in
Figure 5-11.
• Reset the device(s) (Software Reset)
• Wake-Up the device(s)
For details on the operation of the MCP47X6’s General
Call Commands, see Section 6.6.

Command
The commands can be grouped into the following
categories:
• Write memory
• Read memory
• General Call commands
The supported commands are shown in Table 6-2.
Many of these commands allow for continuous
operation. This means that the I2C Master does not
generate a Stop bit but repeats the required data/
clocks. This allows faster updates since the overhead
of the I2C control byte is removed. Table 6-1 shows the
supported commands and the required number of bit
clocks for both single and continuous commands.
Write commands, determined by the R/W bit = ‘0’, use
up to three command codes bits (C2:C0) to determine
the write’s operation.
The Read command is strictly determined by the R/W
bit = ‘1’. There are two formats of the command. One
for 12-bit and 10-bit devices and a second for 8-bit
devices.
6.0.1
The General Call commands utilize the I2C
specification reserved General Call command address
and command codes.
A Restart or Stop condition in an expected data bit
position will abort the current command sequence and
data will not be written to the MCP47X6.

Write Volatile DAC Register
(C2:C0 = ‘00x’)
This command is used to update the volatile DAC
Register value and the two Power-down configuration
bits (PD1:PD0). This command is typically used for a
quick update of the analog output by modifying the
minimum parameters. The EEPROM values are not
affected by this command.
Figure 6-1 shows an example of the command format,
where a stop bit completes the command.
After this ACK bit, the I2C Master should generate a
Stop bit or the I2C Master can repeat the 2nd (2
command bits + 2 power down bits + 4 data bits
(b11:b08)) and the 3rd byte (8 data bits (b07:b00)).
Repeating the 2nd and 3rd bytes allows a continuous
command where the volatile DAC register can be
updated without the communication overhead of the
device addressing byte (1st byte).
The device updates the VOUT at the falling edge of the
Acknowledge pulse of the 3rd byte.
The volatile DAC register and Power-down
configuration bits are updated with the written date at
the completion of the ACK bit (falling edge of SCL).

Write Volatile Memory
(C2:C0 = ‘010’)
This write command is used to update the volatile DAC
Register value and configuration bits. The EEPROM is
not affected by this command. Figure 6-2 shows an
example of this write command.
The volatile DAC register and configuration bits are
updated with the written date at the completion of the
ACK bit (falling edge of SCL).
After this ACK bit, the I2C Master should generate a
Stop bit or the I2C Master can repeat the 2nd (3
command bits + 5 configuration bits), and the 3rd byte
(8 data bits (b15:b08)), and the 4th byte (8 data bits
(b07:b00)). Repeating the 2nd through 4th bytes allows
a continuous command where the volatile DAC register
and configuration bits can be updated without the
communication overhead of the device addressing
byte (1st byte).

Note:
This write command is used to update the volatile and

configuration bits. Figure 6-3 shows an example of this
write command.
• VOUT update: At the falling edge of the
Acknowledge pulse of the 4th byte.
• EEPROM update: At the falling edge of the
Acknowledge pulse of the 4th byte.
RDY/BSY bit toggles to “low” and back to
“high” after the EEPROM write is
completed. The state of the RDY/BSY bit
can be monitored by a read command.
Write commands which only update volatile memory
(C2:C0 = ‘00x’ or ‘010’) can be issued. Read
commands and the General Call commands may not
be issued.
The DAC register and Power-down configuration bits
(volatile and EEPROM) are updated with the written
date at the completion of the ACK bit (falling edge of
SCL). The EEPROM memory requires time (TWC) for
the values to be written. Another Write All memory
command should not be issued until the EEPROM
write is complete.

This command reads all the device memory. This
includes the volatile and nonvolatile (EEPROM) DAC
Register values and configuration bits, and the volatile
status bits.
This command is executed when the I2C control byte’s
Read/Write bit is a ‘1’ (read).
This command has two different formats based on the
resolution of the device. The 12-bit and 10-bit devices
use the format in Figure 6-5, while the 8-bit device uses
the format in Figure 6-6.
The 2nd byte (configuration bits) indicates the current
condition of the device operation. The RDY/BSY bit
indicates EEPROM writing status.

I2C General Call Commands
6.6.1
GENERAL CALL RESET
The device performs General Call Reset if the second
byte is “00000110” (06h). At the acknowledgement of
this byte, the device will abort the current conversion
and perform the following tasks:
The device acknowledges the general call address
command (0x00 in the first byte). The meaning of the
general call address is always specified in the second
byte. The I2C specification does not allow “00000000”
(00h) in the second byte. Please refer to the Phillips I2C
document for more details on the General Call
specifications.
• Internal reset similar to a Power-On-Reset (POR).
The contents of the EEPROM are loaded into the
DAC registers and analog output is available
immediately.
• This is a similar event to the POR. The VOUT will
be available immediately, but after a short time
delay following the Acknowledgement pulse. The
VOUT value is determined by the EEPROM
contents.
The MCP47X6 devices support the following I2C
general calls:
• General Call Reset
• General Call Wake-Up
This command allows multiple MCP47X6 devices to be
reset synchronously.

This command does not adhere to the I2C
specification where if the LSb of the 2nd
byte is a ‘1’, it is a ‘Hardware General Call’
(see the NXP I2C Specification).
Note:
If the second byte is “00001001” (09h), the device
forces the volatile power-down bits to ‘00’. The
nonvolatile (EEPROM) power-down bit values are not
affected by this command.

TERMINOLOGY
7.1
Resolution
The resolution is the number of DAC output states that
divide the full-scale range. For the 12-bit DAC, the
resolution is 212, meaning the DAC code ranges from 0
to 4095.
7.2
7.5
Zero-Scale Error (ZSE)
The Zero-Scale Error (see Figure 7-4) is the difference
between the ideal and measured VOUT voltage with the
volatile DAC Register equal to 000h. The Zero-Scale
Error is the same as the Offset Error for this case
(volatile DAC Register = 000h).
EQUATION 7-3:
Least Significant bit (LSb)
ZSE =
Normally this is thought of as the ideal voltage
difference between two successive codes. This bit has
the smallest value or weight of all bits in the register.
For a given output voltage range, which is typically the
voltage between the Full-Scale voltage and the ZeroScale voltage (VOUT(FS) - VOUT(ZS)), it is divided by the
resolution of the device (Equation 7-1).

VOUT(@ZS) is the VOUT voltage when the DAC

VLSb is the delta voltage of one DAC register code
step (such as code 000h to code 001h).
7.6
Offset Error
The Offset error (see Figure 7-1) is the deviation from
zero voltage output when the volatile DAC Register
value = 000h (zero scale voltage). This error affects all
codes by the same amount. The offset error can be
calibrated by software in application circuits.
Actual Transfer Function
7.3
Monotonicity
Normally this is thought of as the VOUT voltage never
decreasing, as the DAC Register code is continuously
incremented by 1 code step (LSb).
7.4
Full-Scale Error (FSE)
The Full-scale error (see Figure 7-4) is the sum of
offset error plus gain error. It is the difference between
the ideal and measured DAC output voltage with all bits
set to one (DAC input code = FFFh for 12-bit DAC).

Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
The Integral nonlinearity (INL) error is the maximum
deviation of an actual transfer function from an ideal
transfer function (straight line).
In the MCP47X6, INL is calculated using two end points
(zero and full scale). INL can be expressed as a percentage of full scale range (FSR) or in a fraction of an
LSb. INL is also called relative accuracy. Equation 7-4
shows how to calculate the INL error in LSb and
Figure 7-2 shows an example of INL accuracy.
EQUATION 7-4:
The Differential nonlinearity (DNL) error (see Figure 73) is the measure of step size between codes in actual
transfer function. The ideal step size between codes is
1 LSb. A DNL error of zero would imply that every code
is exactly 1 LSb wide. If the DNL error is less than
1 LSb, the DAC guarantees monotonic output and no
missing codes. The DNL error between any two
adjacent codes is calculated as follows:

7.9
Gain Error
7.10
The Gain error (see Figure 7-4) is the difference
between the actual full-scale output voltage from the
ideal output voltage of the DAC transfer curve. The
gain error is calculated after nullifying the offset error,
or full scale error minus the offset error.
The gain error indicates how well the slope of the actual
transfer function matches the slope of the ideal transfer
function. The gain error is usually expressed as percent
of full-scale range (% of FSR) or in LSb.
In the MCP4706/4716/4726, the gain error is not
calibrated at the factory and most of the gain error is
contributed by the output buffer (op amp) saturation
near the code range beyond 4000d. For the
applications that need the gain error specification less
than 1% maximum, the user may consider using the
DAC code range between 100d and 4000d instead of
using full code range (code 0 to 4095d). The DAC
output of the code range between 100d and 4000d is
much more linear than full-scale range (0 to 4095d).
The gain error can be calibrated out by software in the
application.

The Offset error drift is the variation in offset error due

7.12
Settling Time
The Settling time is the time delay required for the VOUT
voltage to settle into its new output value. This time is
measured from the start of code transition, to when the
VOUT voltage is within the specified accuracy.
In the MCP47X6, the settling time is a measure of the
time delay until the VOUT voltage reaches within 0.5
LSb of its final value, when the volatile DAC Register
changes from 400h to C00h.
7.13
Major-Code Transition Glitch
Major-code transition glitch is the impulse energy
injected into the DAC analog output when the code in
the DAC register changes state. It is normally specified
as the area of the glitch in nV-Sec, and is measured
when the digital code is changed by 1 LSb at the major
carry transition (Example: 011...111 to 100...
000, or 100... 000 to 011 ... 111).
7.14
Output
Gain Error Drift
Digital Feedthrough
The Digital feedthrough is the glitch that appears at the
analog output caused by coupling from the digital input
pins of the device. The area of the glitch is expressed
in nV-Sec, and is measured with a full scale change
(Example: all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) on the digital

Power-Supply Rejection Ratio
(PSRR)
PSRR indicates how the output of the DAC is affected
by changes in the supply voltage. PSRR is the ratio of
the change in VOUT to a change in VDD for full-scale
output of the DAC. The VOUT is measured while the
VDD is varied +/- 10%, and expressed in dB or µV/V.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The MCP47X6 family of devices are general purpose,
single channel voltage output DACs for various
applications where a precision operation with
low-power and nonvolatile EEPROM memory is
needed.
Since the devices include a nonvolatile EEPROM
memory, the user can utilize these devices for
applications that require the output to return to the
previous set-up value on subsequent power-ups.
8.1.1
The user can test the presence of the device on the I2C
bus line using a simple I2C command. This test can be
achieved by checking an acknowledge response from
the device after sending a read or write command.
Figure 8-1 shows an example with a read command.
The steps are:

b)
Applications generally suited for the devices are:
•
•
•
•
Set Point or Offset Trimming
Sensor Calibration
Portable Instrumentation (Battery Powered)
Motor Control
8.1
Connecting to I2C BUS using
Pull-Up Resistors
The SCL and SDA pins of the MCP47X6 devices are
open-drain configurations. These pins require a pull-up
resistor as shown in Figure 8-2.
The pull-up resistor values (R1 and R2) for SCL and
SDA pins depend on the operating speed (standard,
fast, and high speed) and loading capacitance of the
I2C bus line. A higher value of the pull-up resistor
consumes less power, but increases the signal
transition time (higher RC time constant) on the bus
line. Therefore, it can limit the bus operating speed.
The lower resistor value, on the other hand, consumes
higher power, but allows higher operating speed. If the
bus line has higher capacitance due to long metal
traces or multiple device connections to the bus line, a
smaller pull-up resistor is needed to compensate the
long RC time constant. The pull-up resistor is typically
chosen between 1 kΩ and 10 kΩ ranges for standard
and fast modes, and less than 1 kΩ for high speed
mode.

Power Supply Considerations
VDD
The power source should be as clean as possible. The
power supply to the device is also used for the DAC
voltage reference internally if the internal VDD is
selected as the resistor ladders reference voltage
(VREF1:VREF0 = 00 or 01).

MCP47X6
Any noise induced on the VDD line can affect the DAC
performance. Typical applications will require a bypass
capacitor in order to filter out high frequency noise on
the VDD line. The noise can be induced onto the power
supply’s traces or as a result of changes on the DAC
output. The bypass capacitor helps to minimize the
effect of these noise sources on signal integrity.
Figure 8-2 shows an example of using two bypass
capacitors (a 10 µF tantalum capacitor and a 0.1 µF
ceramic capacitor) in parallel on the VDD line. These
capacitors should be placed as close to the VDD pin as
possible (within 4 mm). If the application circuit has
separate digital and analog power supplies, the VDD
and VSS pins of the device should reside on the analog
plane.

Application Examples
The MCP47X6 devices are rail-to-rail output DACs
designed to operate with a VDD range of 2.7V to 5.5V.
The internal output op amplifier is robust enough to
drive common, small-signal loads directly, thus
eliminating the cost and size of external buffers for
most applications. The user can use gain of 1 or 2 of
the output op amplifier by setting the configuration
register bits. Also, the user can use internal VDD as the
reference or use external reference. Various user
options and easy-to-use features make the devices
suitable for various modern DAC applications.

8.3.1
DC SET POINT OR CALIBRATION
A common application for the devices is a
digitally-controlled set point and/or calibration of
variable parameters, such as sensor offset or slope.
For example, the MCP4726 provides 4096 output
steps. If voltage reference is 4.096V, the LSb size is
1 mV. If a smaller output step size is desired, a lower
external voltage reference is needed.
8.3.1.1
Decreasing Output Step Size
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 small step size are using
lower VREF pin voltage or using a voltage divider on the
DAC’s output.
Using an external voltage reference (VREF) is an
option, if the external reference is available with the
desired output voltage range. However, occasionally,
when using a low-voltage reference voltage, the noise
floor causes a SNR error that is intolerable. Using a
voltage divider method is another option, and provides
some advantages when external voltage reference
needs to be very low, or when the desired output
voltage is not available. In this case, a larger value
reference voltage is used, while two resistors scale the
output range down to the precise desired level.
Figure 8-3 illustrates this concept. A 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.

Building a “Window” DAC
8.4
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.
If the threshold is not near VREF, 2 • VREF, 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
pull-up and pull-down resistor. Figure 8-4 and Figure 86 illustrate this concept.
Bipolar Operation
Bipolar operation is achievable by utilizing an external
operational amplifier. 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.
Figure 8-5 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.

Step 3: The amplifier gain (R2/R1), multiplied by

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,
solve for the amplifier’s gain by setting the DAC to
0, knowing that the output needs to be -2.05V.

DAC
8.7
Building Programmable Current
Source
Figure 8-7 shows an example design of a single-supply
voltage output capable of up to 24-bit resolution. This
requires two 12-bit DACs. This design is simply a
voltage divider with a buffered output.
Example 8-8 shows an example of building
programmable current source using a voltage follower.
The current sensor resistor is used to convert the DAC
voltage output into a digitally-selectable current source.
As an example, if a similar application to the one
developed in Section 8.5.1 “Bipolar DAC Example
Using MCP4726” 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.
The smaller RSENSE is, the less power dissipated
across it. However, this also reduces the resolution that
the current can be controlled.
Step 1: Calculate the resolution needed:
VDD
(or VREF)
Optional
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 attempted
with the 12-bit 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.

Software I2C Interface Reset
Sequence
8.9
Note:
This technique is documented in AN1028.
At times, it may become necessary to perform a
Software Reset Sequence to ensure the MCP47X6
device is in a correct and known I2C Interface state.
This technique only resets the I2C state machine.
This is useful if the MCP47X6 device powers up in an
incorrect state (due to excessive bus noise, etc), or if
the Master Device is reset during communication.
Figure 8-9 shows the communication sequence to
software reset the device.

Software Reset Sequence
The 1st Start bit will cause the device to reset from a
state in which it is expecting to receive data from the
Master Device. In this mode, the device is monitoring
the data bus in Receive mode and can detect if the
Start bit forces an internal Reset.
DS22272A-page 70
The nine bits of ‘1’ are used to force a Reset of those
devices that could not be reset by the previous Start bit.
This occurs only if the MCP47X6 is driving an A bit on
the I2C bus, or is in output mode (from a Read
command) and is driving a data bit of ‘0’ onto the I2C
bus. In both of these cases, the previous Start bit could
not be generated due to the MCP47X6 holding the bus
low. By sending out nine ‘1’ bits, it is ensured that the
device will see an A bit (the Master Device does not
drive the I2C bus low to acknowledge the data sent by
the MCP47X6), which also forces the MCP47X6 to
reset.
The 2nd Start bit is sent to address the rare possibility
of an erroneous write. This could occur if the Master
Device was reset while sending a Write command to
the MCP47X6, AND then as the Master Device returns
to normal operation and issues a Start condition, while
the MCP47X6 is issuing an Acknowledge. In this case,
if the 2nd Start bit is not sent (and the Stop bit was sent)
the MCP47X6 could initiate a write cycle.
Note:
The potential for this erroneous write
ONLY occurs if the Master Device is reset
while sending a Write command to the
MCP47X6.
The Stop bit terminates the current I2C bus activity. The
MCP47X6 waits to detect the next Start condition.
This sequence does not effect any other I2C devices
which may be on the bus, as they should disregard this
as an invalid command.

• Power Supply Considerations
• Layout Considerations
8.10.1
The typical application will require a bypass capacitor
in order to filter high-frequency noise, which can be
induced onto the power supply's traces. The bypass
capacitor helps to minimize the effect of these noise
sources on signal integrity. Figure 8-10 illustrates an
appropriate bypass strategy.
In this example, the recommended bypass capacitor
value is 0.1 µF. This capacitor should be placed as
close (within 4 mm) to the device power pin (VDD) as
possible.
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 should reside on the analog plane.

POWER SUPPLY
CONSIDERATIONS
VREF
Several layout considerations may be applicable to
your application. These may include:
Noise
Inductively-coupled AC transients and digital switching
noise can degrade the input and output signal integrity,
potentially masking the MCP47X6’s performance.
Careful board layout minimizes these effects and
increases the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). Multi-layer
boards utilizing a low-inductance ground plane,
isolated inputs, isolated outputs and proper decoupling
are critical to achieving the performance that the silicon
is capable of providing. Particularly harsh
environments may require shielding of critical signals.
Separate digital and analog ground planes are
recommended. In this case, the VSS pin and the ground
pins of the VDD capacitors should be terminated to the
analog ground plane.
Note:
Breadboards and wire-wrapped boards
are not recommended.

PCB Area Requirements
In some applications, PCB area is a criteria for device
selection. Table 8-2 shows the typical package

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.
