General Description
The MCP47FEBXX are Single- and Dual-channel 8-bit,
10-bit, and 12-bit buffered voltage output Digital-toAnalog Converters (DAC) with nonvolatile memory and
an I2C serial interface.
The VREF pin, the device VDD or the internal band gap
voltage 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 be 1 or 2. When the gain is 2, the VREF pin voltage
should be limited to a maximum of VDD/2.
These devices have a two-wire I2C-compatible serial
interface for Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz) or
High-Speed (1.7 MHz and 3.4 MHz) modes.

Resistance is defined as the resistance between the VREF pin (mode VRxB:VRxA = ‘10’) to VSS pin. For
dual-channel devices (MCP47FEBX2), this is the effective resistance of the each resistor ladder. The
resistance measurement is of the two resistor ladders measured in parallel.

This parameter is ensured by design.
This parameter is ensured by characterization.
POR/BOR voltage trip point is not slope dependent. Hysteresis implemented with time delay.
Supply current is independent of current through the resistor ladder in mode VRxB:VRxA = ‘10’.
The PDxB:PDxA = ‘01’, ‘10’, and ‘11’ configurations should have the same current.
By design, this is worst-case current mode.
Resistance is defined as the resistance between the VREF pin (mode VRxB:VRxA = ‘10’) to VSS pin. For dualchannel devices (MCP47FEBX2), this is the effective resistance of the each resistor ladder. The resistance
measurement is of the two resistor ladders measured in parallel.
8. INL and DNL are measured at VOUT with VRL = VDD (VRxB:VRxA = ‘00’).
9. This gain error does not include offset error.
10. Within 1/2 LSb of final value when code changes from 1/4 to 3/4 of FSR. (Example: 400h to C00h in 12-bit device).

3.1
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 noise present in
application boards.
3.2
Voltage Reference Pin (VREF)
The VREF pin is either an input or an output. When the
DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the VREF pin,
the pin is an input. When the DAC’s voltage reference is
configured as the internal band gap, the pin is an output.
When the DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the
VREF pin, there are two options for this voltage input:
VREF pin voltage buffered or unbuffered. The buffered
option is offered in cases where the external reference
voltage does not have sufficient current capability to not
drop it’s voltage when connected to the internal resistor
ladder circuit.
When the DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the
device VDD, the VREF pin is disconnected from the
internal circuit.
When the DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the
internal band gap, the VREF pin’s drive capability is
minimal, so the output signal should be buffered.
See Section 5.2 “Voltage Reference Selection” and
Register 4-2 for more details on the Configuration bits.
3.3
Analog Output Voltage Pin (VOUT)
VOUT is the DAC analog voltage output pin. The DAC
output has an output amplifier. The DAC output range is
dependent on the selection of the voltage reference
source (and potential Output Gain selection). These are:
• Device VDD - The full-scale range of the DAC
output is from VSS to approximately VDD.
• VREF pin - The full-scale range of the DAC output
is from VSS to G  VRL, where G is the gain
selection option (1x or 2x).
• Internal Band Gap - The full-scale range of the
DAC output is from VSS to G  (2  VBG), where G
is the gain selection option (1x or 2x).
3.5
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
Latch Pin (LAT)/High-Voltage
Command (HVC)
The LAT pin is used to force the transfer of the DAC
register’s shift register to the DAC output register. This
allows DAC outputs to be updated at the same time.
The update of the VRxB:VRxA, PDxB:PDxA, Gx bits
are also controlled by the LAT pin state.
The HVC pin allows the device’s nonvolatile user configuration bits to be programmed when the HVC pin is
greater than the VIHH entry voltage.
3.7
I2C - Serial Clock Pin (SCL)
The SCL pin is the serial clock pin of the I2C interface.
The MCP47FEBXX’s I2C interface only acts 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 an external pull-up resistor
from the VDD line to the SCL pin. Refer to Section 6.0
“I2C Serial Interface Module” for more details of I2C
Serial Interface communication.
3.8
I2C - Serial Data Pin (SDA)
The SDA pin 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 an external
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 6.0 “I2C Serial Interface Module” for more
details of I2C Serial Interface communication.
In Normal mode, the DC impedance of the output pin is
about 1. In Power-Down mode, the output pin is
internally connected to a known pull-down resistor of
1 k, 100 k, or open. The Power-Down selection bits
settings are shown Register 4-3 (Table 5-5).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MCP47FEBX1 (MCP47FEB01, MCP47FEB11,
and MCP47FEB21) devices are single-channel voltage
output devices. MCP47FEBX2 (MCP47FEB02,
MCP47FEB12, and MCP47FEB22) devices are dualchannel voltage output devices.
These devices are offered with 8-bit (MCP47FEB0X),
10-bit (MCP47FEB1X) and 12-bit (MCP47FEB2X)
resolution and include nonvolatile memory (EEPROM),
an I2C serial interface and a write latch (LAT) pin to
control the update of the written DAC value to the DAC
output pin.
The devices use a resistor ladder architecture. The
resistor ladder DAC is driven from a softwareselectable voltage reference source. The source can
be either the device’s internal VDD, an external VREF
pin voltage (buffered or unbuffered) or an internal band
gap voltage source.
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 (1x or 2x) of the
output buffer is software configurable.
4.1
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.
The device’s RAM retention voltage (VRAM) is lower
than the POR/BOR voltage trip point (VPOR/VBOR).
The maximum VPOR/VBOR voltage is less than 1.8V.
POR occurs as the voltage is rising (typically from 0V),
while BOR occurs as the voltage is falling (typically
from VDD(MIN) or higher).
The POR and BOR trip points are at the same voltage,
and the condition is determined by whether the VDD
voltage is rising or falling (see Figure 4-1). What occurs is
different depending on if the reset is a POR or BOR reset.
the
electrical
When
VPOR/VBOR < VDD < 2.7V,
performance may not meet the data sheet
specifications. In this region, the device is capable of
reading and writing to its EEPROM and reading and
writing to its volatile memory if the proper serial
command is executed.
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. High Voltage lock bits can be
used to ensure that the devices output settings are not
accidentally modified.
The devices operates from a single supply voltage.
This voltage is specified from 2.7V to 5.5V for full
specified operation, and from 1.8V to 5.5V for digital
operation. The device operates between 1.8V and
2.7V, but some device parameters are not specified.

4.1.1
POWER-ON RESET
4.1.2
The Power-on Reset is the case where the device VDD
is having power applied to it from the VSS voltage level.
As the device powers-up, the VOUT pin will float to an
unknown value. When the device’s VDD is above the
transistor threshold voltage of the device, the output
will start being pulled low. After the VDD is above the
POR/BOR trip point (VBOR/VPOR), the resistor
network’s wiper will be loaded with the POR value
(mid-scale). The volatile memory determines the
analog output (VOUT) pin voltage. After the device is
powered-up, the user can update the device memory.
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 (tPORD) starts; when the
reset delay timer (tPORD) times out, the I2C serial
interface is operational. During this delay time, the
I2C interface will not accept commands.
• The Device Memory Address pointer is forced to
00h.
BROWN-OUT RESET
The Brown-out Reset occurs when a device had
power applied to it, and that power (voltage) drops
below the specified range.
When the falling VDD voltage crosses the VPOR trip
point (BOR event), the following occurs:
• Serial Interface is disabled
• EEPROM Writes are disabled
• Device is forced into a power-down state
(PDxB:PDxA = ‘11’). Analog circuitry is turned off.
• Volatile DAC Register is forced to 000h
• Volatile configuration bits VRxB:VRxA and Gx are
forced to ‘0’
If the VDD voltage decreases below the VRAM voltage,
all volatile memory may become corrupted.
As the voltage recovers above the VPOR/VBOR voltage
see Section 4.1.1 “Power-on Reset”.
Serial commands not completed due to a brown-out
condition may cause the memory location (volatile and
nonvolatile) to become corrupted.
Figure 4-1 illustrates the conditions for power-up and
power-down events under typical conditions.
The analog output (VOUT) state will be determined by
the state of the volatile Configuration bits and the DAC
register. This is called a Power-on Reset (event).
Figure 4-1 illustrates the conditions for power-up and
power-down events under typical conditions.

Device Memory
4.2.2
User memory includes three types of memory:
This memory can be grouped into two uses of nonvolatile memory. These are the DAC Output Value and
Configuration registers:
• Volatile Register Memory (RAM)
• Nonvolatile Register Memory
• Device Configuration Memory
Each memory address is 16 bits wide. There are five
nonvolatile user-control bits that do not reside in memory mapped register space (see Section 4.2.3
“Device Configuration Memory”).
4.2.1
VOLATILE REGISTER MEMORY
(RAM)
DAC0 and DAC1 Output Value Registers
VREF Select Register
Power-Down Configuration Register
Gain and Status Register
WiperLock Technology Status Register
The device starts writing the EEPROM memory
location at the completion of the serial interface
command. For the I2C interface, this is the
acknowledge pulse of the EEPROM write command.
The volatile memory starts functioning when the
device VDD is at (or above) the RAM retention voltage
(VRAM). The volatile memory will be loaded with the
default device values when the VDD rises across the
VPOR/VBOR voltage trip point.
Note:
When the nonvolatile memory is written,
the corresponding volatile memory is not
modified.
The nonvolatile DAC registers enables stand-alone
operation of the device (without Microcontroller control)
after being programmed to the desired value.

UNIMPLEMENTED (RESERVED)
LOCATIONS
There are up to five nonvolatile user bits that are not
directly mapped into the address space. These
nonvolatile device configuration bits control the
following functions:
Normal (Voltage) Commands (Read or Write) to any
unimplemented memory address (Reserved) will result
in a Command Error condition (NACK). Read
Commands of a reserved location will read bits as ‘1’.
• DAC Register and Configuration WiperLock
Technology (2 bits per DAC)
• I2C Slave Address Write Protect (Lock)
High-Voltage Commands (Enable or Disable) to any
unimplemented Configuration bits will result in a
Command Error condition (NACK).
The Status register shows the states of the device
WiperLock Technology configuration bits. The
STATUS register is described in Register 4-6.
4.2.5.1
The operation of WiperLock Technology is discussed
in Section 4.2.6 “WiperLock Technology” while I2C
Slave Address Write Protect is discussed in
Section 4.2.7 “I2C Slave Address Write Protect”.

4.2.6
WIPERLOCK TECHNOLOGY
The MCP47FEBXX device’s WiperLock technology
allows application-specific device settings (DAC register and configuration) to be secured without requiring
the use of an additional write-protect pin. There are
two configuration bits (DLx:CLx) for each DAC (DAC0
and DAC1).
Please refer to the Section 7.5 “Enable Configuration Bit (High-Voltage)” and Section 7.6 “Disable
Configuration Bit (High-Voltage)” commands for
operation.
Note:
Dependent on the state of the DLx:CLx configuration
bits, WiperLock technology prevents the serial
commands from the following actions on the DACx
registers and bits:
• Writing to the specified volatile DACx Register
memory location
• Writing to the specified nonvolatile DACx Register
memory location
• Writing to the specified volatile DACx
configuration bits
• Writing to the specified nonvolatile DACx
configuration bits
4.2.6.1
POR/BOR Operation when
WiperLock Technology Enabled
The WiperLock Technology state is not affected by a
POR/BOR event. A POR/BOR event will load the
Volatile DAC0 (DAC1) register values with the
Nonvolatile DAC0 (DAC1) register values.
4.2.7
Each pair of these configuration bits control one of four
modes. These modes are shown in Table 4-4. The
addresses for the configuration bits are shown in
Table 4-1.
To modify the configuration bits, the HVC pin must be
forced to the VIHH state and then receive an Enable or
Disable command on the desired pair of DAC
Register addresses.
Note:
During device communication, if the
Device Address/Command combination is
invalid or an unimplemented Address is
specified, then the MCP47FEBXX will
NACK that byte. To reset the I2C state
machine, the I2C communication must
detect a Start bit.
To modify the CL0 bit, the Enable or Disable command specifies address 00h,
while to modify the DL0 bit, the Enable or
Disable command specifies address 10h.
I2C SLAVE ADDRESS WRITE
PROTECT
The MCP47FEBXX device’s I2C Slave Address is
stored in the EEPROM memory. This allows the
address to be modified to the applications requirement.
To ensure that the I2C Slave Address is not
unintentionally modified, the memory has a high
voltage write protect bit. This configurations bit is
shown in Table 4-3.
Note:
To modify the SALCK bit, the Enable or
Disable command specifies address 1Ah.

Resistor Ladder
PD1:PD0
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 5-2). 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.
The output of the resistor network will drive the input of
an output buffer.

The Resistor Network is made up of these three parts:
VW
• Resistor Ladder (string of RS elements)
• Wiper switches
• DAC Register decode
The resistor ladder (RRL) has a typical impedance of
approximately 140 k. 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 affect the output given a fixed
voltage at VRL.
Equation 5-1 shows the calculation for the step
resistance.
Note:
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.
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.

Voltage Reference Selection
The resistor ladder has up to four sources for the reference voltage. Two user control bits (VREF1:VREF0)
are used to control the selection, with the selection connected to the VRL node (see Figures 5-3 and 5-4). The
four voltage source options for the Resistor Ladder are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
VDD pin voltage
Internal Voltage Reference (VBG)
VREF pin voltage unbuffered
VREF pin voltage internally buffered
The selection of the voltage is specified with the volatile
VREF1:VREF0 configuration bits (see Register 4-2).
There are nonvolatile and volatile VREF1:VREF0
configuration bits. On a POR/BOR event, the state of the
nonvolatile VREF1:VREF0 configuration bits is latched
into the volatile VREF1:VREF0 configuration bits.

VDD
The VREF pin voltage may be from VSS to VDD.
Note 1: 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 140 k and a typical capacitance of 29 pF.
2: If the VREF pin is tied to the VDD voltage, VDD mode (VREF1:VREF0 = ‘00’)
is recommended.
5.2.2
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.
Note 1: 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.

5.2.3
BANDGAP MODE
If the Internal Band Gap is selected, then the external
VREF pin should not be driven and only use
high-impedance loads. Decoupling capacitors are
recommended for optimal operation.
The band gap output is buffered, but the internal
switches limit the current that the output should source
to the VREF pin. The resistor ladder buffer is used to
drive the Band Gap voltage for the cases of multiple
DAC outputs. This ensures that the resistor ladders are
always properly sourced when the band gap is selected.

Output Buffer/VOUT Operation
TABLE 5-1:
The Output Driver buffers the wiper voltage (VW) of the
Resistor Ladder.
The DAC output is buffered with a low power and
precision output amplifier (op amp). This amplifier
provides a rail-to-rail output with low offset voltage and low
noise. 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 k for the stable and expected analog
output (to meet electrical specifications).

circuit.

PROGRAMMABLE GAIN
The amplifier’s gain is controlled by the Gain (G)
configuration bit (see Register 4-5) 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
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 or Internal Band
Gap is used as reference voltage. The VREF pin
voltage should be limited to VDD/2.
Power-down logic also controls the output buffer operation (see Section 5.6 “Power-Down Operation” for
additional information on Power-down). In any of the
three Power-Down modes, the op amp is powereddown and its output becomes a high impedance to the
VOUT pin.
Table 5-1 shows the gain bit operation. When the
reference voltage selection (VRL) is the device’s VDD
voltage, the G bit is ignored and a gain of 1 is used.

Small Capacitive Load
With a small capacitive load, the output buffer’s current
is not affected by the capacitive load (CL). But still, the
VOUT pin’s voltage is not a step transition from one output value (DAC register value) to the next output value.
The change of the VOUT voltage is limited by the output
buffer’s characteristics, so the VOUT pin voltage will
have a slope from the old voltage to the new voltage.
This slope is fixed for the output buffer, and is referred
to as the buffer slew rate (SRBUF).
5.3.4.2
DRIVING RESISTIVE AND
CAPACITIVE LOADS
The VOUT pin can drive up to 100 pF of capacitive load
in parallel with a 5 k resistive load (to meet electrical
specifications). A VOUT vs. Resistive Load characterization graph can be seen in the Char Data for this
device (DS20005378).
VOUT drops slowly as the load resistance decreases
after about 3.5 k. It is recommended to use a load
with RL greater than 5 k.

5.3.5
Driving large capacitive loads can cause stability
problems for voltage feedback op amps. As the load
capacitance increases, the feedback loop’s phase
margin decreases and the closed-loop bandwidth is
reduced. This produces gain peaking in the frequency
response with overshoot and ringing in the step
response. That is, since the VOUT pin’s voltage does
not quickly follow the buffer’s input voltage (due to the
large capacitive load), the output buffer will overshoot
the desired target voltage. Once the driver detects this
overshoot, it compensates by forcing it to a voltage
below the target. This causes voltage ringing on the
VOUT pin.
So, when driving large capacitive loads with the output
buffer, a small series resistor (RISO) at the output (see
Figure 5-7) improves the output buffer’s stability
(feedback loop’s phase margin) by making the output
load resistive at higher frequencies. The bandwidth will
be generally lower than the bandwidth with no
capacitive load.
Large Capacitive Load
With a larger capacitive load, the slew rate is
determined by two factors:
• The output buffer’s short-circuit current (ISC)
• The VOUT pin’s external load
IOUT cannot exceed the output buffer’s short-circuit current (ISC), which fixes the output buffer slew rate
(SRBUF). The voltage on the capacitive load (CL), VCL,
changes at a rate proportional to IOUT, which fixes a
capacitive load slew rate (SRCL).
So the VCL voltage slew rate is limited to the slower of
the output buffer’s internally set slew rate (SRBUF) and
the capacitive load slew rate (SRCL).

The RISO resistor value for your circuit needs to be
selected. The resulting frequency response peaking
and step response overshoot for this RISO resistor
value should be verified on the bench. Modify the
RISO’s resistance value until the output characteristics
meet your requirements.
A method to evaluate the system’s performance is to
inject a step voltage on the VREF pin and observe the
VOUT pin’s characteristics.

VRL is the resistor ladder’s reference voltage. It is independent of VREF1:VREF0 selection.
Gain selection of 2x (Gx = ‘1‘) requires voltage reference source to come from VREF pin
(VREF1:VREF0 = ‘10‘ or ‘11’) and requires VREF pin voltage (or VRL) ≤ VDD/2 or from the internal band
gap (VREF1:VREF0 = ‘01’).
These theoretical calculations do not take into account the Offset, Gain and nonlinearity errors.

The Latch pin controls when the volatile DAC Register

applications that need to synchronize the wiper(s)
updates to an external event, such as zero crossing or
updates to the other wipers on the device. The LAT pin

When the LAT pin is high, transfers from the volatile DAC
register to the DAC wiper are inhibited. The volatile DAC
register value(s) can be continued to be updated.
When the LAT pin is low, the volatile DAC register value
is transferred to the DAC wiper.
Note:
This allows both the volatile DAC0 and
DAC1 Registers to be updated while the
LAT pin is high, and to have outputs synchronously updated as the LAT pin is
driven low.
Figure 5-8 shows the interaction of the LAT pin and the
loading of the DAC wiper x (from the volatile DAC Register x). The transfers are level driven. If the LAT pin is
held low, the corresponding DAC wiper is updated as

The LAT pin allows the DAC wiper to be updated to an

Since the DAC wiper x is updated from the Volatile
DAC Register x, all DACs that are associated with a
given LAT pin can be updated synchronously.
If the application does not require synchronization, then
this signal should be tied low.
Figure 5-9 shows two cases of using the LAT pin to

Power-Down Operation
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 5-10 and Table 5-5). On devices with multiple
DACs, each DACs power-down mode is individually
controllable. All power-down modes do the following:
• Turn off most the DAC module’s internal circuits
(output op amp, resistor ladder,...)
• Op amp output becomes high-impedance to the
VOUT pin
• Disconnects resistor ladder from reference
voltage (VRL)
• Retains the value of the volatile DAC register and
configuration bits, and the nonvolatile (EEPROM)
DAC register and configuration bits

Note 1: Gain options are 1x and 2x.
• VOUT pin is switched to one of two resistive pulldowns (See Table 5-5)
- 100 k (typical)
- 1 k (typical)
• Op amp is powered-down and the VOUT pin is
high-impedance.
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 pulldown resistors 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 typically be ~650 nA for a
single-DAC device. As the number of DACs increases,
the device’s power-down current will also increase.
The power-down bits are modified by using a Write
command to the volatile Power-Down register, or a POR
event which transfers the nonvolatile Power-Down register to the volatile Power-Down register.

Section 7.0 “Device Commands” describes the I

5.6.1
EXITING POWER-DOWN
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 updating 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 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’).
5.6.2
RESET COMMANDS
When the MCP47FEBXX is in the valid operating voltage, the I2C General Call Reset command will force a
Reset event. This is similar to the Power-on Reset,
except that the Reset delay timer is not started.
5.7
DAC Registers, Configuration
Bits, and Status Bits
The MCP47FEBXX devices have both volatile and
nonvolatile (EEPROM) memory. Table 4-2 shows the
volatile and nonvolatile memory and their interaction
due to a POR event.
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 (MCP47FEB2X), 10 bits (MCP47FEB1X),
or 8 bits (MCP47FEB0X) wide.
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 poweredup, the user can update the device memory.
The I2C interface is how this memory is read and written.
Refer to Section 6.0 “I2C Serial Interface Module”
and Section 7.0 “Device Commands” for more details
on reading and writing the device’s memory.
When the nonvolatile memory is written, the device
starts writing the EEPROM cell at the Acknowledge
pulse of the Write command.
Register 4-4 shows the operation of the device status
bits, Table 4-3 and Table 4-4 show the operation of the
device configuration bits, and Table 4-2 shows the factory default value of a POR/BOR event for the device
configuration bits.
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.
If the I2C 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.

MCP47FEBXX
I2C SERIAL INTERFACE
MODULE
6.0
The MCP47FEBXX’s I2C Serial Interface Module supports the I2C serial protocol specification. This I2C
interface is a two-wire interface (clock and data).
Figure 6-1 shows a typical I2C interface connection.

The I C 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
(Commands) for the MCP47FEBXX is defined in
Section 7.0 “Device Commands”.
An overview of the I2C protocol is available in
Section Appendix B: “I2C Serial Interface”.

Communication Data Rates
The I2C interface specifies different communication bit
rates. These are referred to as Standard, Fast or HighSpeed modes. The MCP47FEBXX supports these three
modes. The clock rates (bit rate) of these modes are:

6.3
Interface Pins (SCL and SDA)
The MCP47FEBXX I2C’s module SCL pin does not
generate the serial clock since the device operates in
Slave mode. Also, the MCP47FEBXX will not stretch
the clock signal (SCL) since memory read access
occurs fast enough.
Device Memory Address
On a POR/BOR event, the Device’s Memory Address
pointer is forced to 00h.
The MCP47FEBXX retains the last “Device Memory
Address” that it has received. That is, the
MCP47FEBXX does not “corrupt” the “Device Memory
Address” after Repeated Start or Stop conditions.
6.6
General Call Commands
The General Call commands utilize the I2C
specification reserved General Call command address
and command codes. The MCP47FEBXX also implements a non-standard General Call command.
The General Call commands are
• General Call Reset
• General Call Wake-up (MCP47FEBXX defined)
The General Call Wake-up command will cause all the
MCP47FEBXX devices to exit their power-down state.
6.7
Multi-Master Systems
The MCP47FEBXX is not a Master device (generate
the interface clock), but can be used in multi-master
applications.
The MCP47FEBXX I2C’s module implements slope
control on the SDA pin output driver.

MCP47FEBXX
Device I2C Slave Addressing
6.8
The MCP47FEBXX implements 7-bit slave addressing.
The address byte is the first byte received following the
Start condition from the master device (see Figure 6-2).
The slave address is implemented in a nonvolatile register (Register 4-5) which is protected from accidental
register writes via the Slave Address Lock (SALCK)
configuration bit. The SALCK configuration bit requires
a high voltage (VIHH) to be modified. The SALCK configuration bit must be disabled (see Section 7.6 “Disable Configuration Bit (High-Voltage)”) before a
write to the nonvolatile Slave Addresses register can
modify the value.
Note:
After modifying the nonvolatile Slave
Address value (Register 4-5), it is strongly
recommended
that
the
SALCK
configuration bit is enabled (see
Section 7.5 “Enable Configuration Bit
(High-Voltage)”).

6.9
Entering High-Speed (HS) Mode
The I2C 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 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.
The master code is sent as follows:
1.
2.
3.
Start condition (S)
High-Speed Master Mode Code (0000 1XXX),
The XXX bits are unique to the High-Speed (HS)
mode master.
No Acknowledge (A)
The MCP47FEBXX device does not acknowledge the
HS Select byte. However, upon receiving this command, the device switches to HS mode.
See Figure 6-3 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.
6.9.1
SLOPE CONTROL
The slope control on the SDA output is different
between the Fast/Standard Speed and the High-Speed
clock modes of the interface.
6.9.2
PULSE GOBBLER
The pulse gobbler on the SCL pin is automatically
adjusted to suppress spikes <10 ns during 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 acknowledgments. 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.

DEVICE COMMANDS
7.0.1
ABORTING A TRANSMISSION
A Restart or Stop condition in an expected data bit
position will abort the current command sequence and
if the command was a write, that data word will not be
written to the MCP47FEBXX. Also the I2C state
machine will be reset.
This section documents the commands that the device
supports.
The commands can be grouped into the following
categories:
• Write Command (Normal and High-Voltage)
(C1:C0 = ‘00’)
• Read Command (Normal and High-Voltage)
(C1:C0 = ‘11’)
• General Call Commands
• Modify Device Configuration Bit Commands
(HVC = VIHH)
- Enable Configuration bit (C1:C0 = ‘10’)
- Disable Configuration bit (C1:C0 = ‘01’)
If the condition was a Restart (Start), then the following
byte will be expected to be the Slave Address byte.
If the condition was a Stop, the device will monitor for
the Start Condition.
The supported commands are shown in Table 7-1. These
commands allow for both a single data or continuous data
operation. Continuous data operation 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 7-1
also shows the required number of bit clocks for each
command’s different mode of operation.

7.1
Write Command
(Normal and High-Voltage)
7.1.1
Write commands are used to transfer data to the
desired memory location (from the Host controller). The
Write command can be issued to both the Volatile and
Nonvolatile memory locations.
Write commands can be structured as either Single or
Continuous. The continuous format allows the fastest
data update rate for the devices memory locations, but
is not supported for nonvolatile memory locations.
The format of the command is shown in Figure 7-1
(Single) and Figure 7-3 (Continuous). For example
ACK/NACK behavior see Figure 7-2.
A Write command to a Volatile memory location
changes that location after a properly formatted Write
Command and the A/A clock has been received.
A Write command to a nonvolatile memory location
will start an EEPROM write cycle only after a properly
formatted Write Command has been received and the
Stop condition has occurred.
Note 1: Writes to certain memory locations will be
dependent on the state of the WiperLock
Technology status bits.
2: During device communication, if the
Device Address/Command combination is
invalid or an unimplemented Device
Address
is
specified,
then
the
MCP47FEBXX will NACK that byte. To
reset the I2C state machine, the
I2C communication must detect a Start bit.
SINGLE WRITE TO VOLATILE
MEMORY
For volatile memory locations, data is written to the
MCP47FEBXX after every data word transfer (during
the Acknowledge). If a Stop or Restart condition is
generated during a data transfer (before the A), the
data will not be written to the MCP47FEBXX. After the
A bit, the master can initiate the next sequence with a
Stop or Restart condition.
Refer to Figure 7-1 for the byte write sequence.
7.1.2
SINGLE WRITE TO NONVOLATILE
MEMORY
The sequence to write to a single nonvolatile memory
location is the same as a single write to volatile memory
with the exception that the EEPROM write cycle (tWC)
is started after a properly formatted command, including the Stop bit, is received. After the Stop condition
occurs, the serial interface may immediately be
re-enabled by initiating a Start condition.
During an EEPROM write cycle, access to the volatile
memory is allowed when using the appropriate command sequence. Commands that address nonvolatile
memory are ignored until the EEPROM write cycle (twc)
completes. This allows the Host Controller to operate
on the Volatile DAC registers.
Note:
The EEWA status bit indicates if an
EEPROM write cycle is active (see
Register 4-4).
Figure 7-1 shows the waveform for a single write.

7.1.3
CONTINUOUS WRITES TO
VOLATILE MEMORY
A Continuous Write mode of operation is possible when
writing to the device’s volatile memory registers (see
Table 7-1). This Continuous Write mode allows writes
without a Stop or Restart condition or repeated transmissions of the I2C Control Byte. Figure 7-3 shows the
sequence for three continuous writes. The writes do not
need to be to the same volatile memory address. The
sequence ends with the master sending a Stop or
Restart condition.

CONTINUOUS WRITES TO
NONVOLATILE MEMORY
If a Continuous Write is attempted on nonvolatile
memory, the missing Stop condition will cause the
command to be an error condition (A). A Start bit is
required to reset the command state machine.
7.1.5
THE HIGH VOLTAGE COMMAND
(HVC) SIGNAL
The High Voltage Command (HVC) signal is used
to indicate that the command, or sequence of commands, are in the High Voltage operational state. High
Voltage commands allow the device’s WiperLock
Technology and write protect features to be enabled
and disabled.
Note:
Writes to a volatile DAC register will not
transfer to the output register until the LAT
(HVC) pin is transitioned from the VIHHEN
voltage to a VIL voltage.

7.2
Read Command
(Normal and High-Voltage)
Read commands are used to transfer data from the
specified memory location (to the Host controller). The
Read command can be issued to both the Volatile and
Nonvolatile memory locations.
During an EEPROM write cycle (Write to nonvolatile
memory location or Enable/Disable Configuration Bit command) the Read command can only
read the volatile memory locations. By reading the Status Register (0Ah), the Host Controller can determine
when the write cycle has completed (via the state of the
EEWA bit).
7.2.1
SINGLE READ
The Read command format writes two bytes, the Control byte and the Read command byte (desired memory
address and the Read command), and then has a
Restart condition. Then a 2nd Control byte is transmitted, but this control byte indicates a I2C read operation
(R/W bit = ‘1’).
7.2.1.1
Single Memory Address
Figure 7-4 shows the sequence for reading a specified
memory address.
7.2.1.2
Last Memory Address Accessed
The Read command formats include:
Figure 7-5 shows the waveforms for a single read of
the last memory location accessed.
• Single Read
- Single Memory Address
- Last Memory Address Accessed
• Continuous Reads
This command allows faster communication when
checking the status of the EEPROM Write Active
(EEWA) bit (see Register 4-4), as long as the Register
Address of this device’s last command was 0Ah.
The MCP47FEBXX retains the last Device Memory
Address that it has received. That is the MCP47FEBXX
does not corrupt the Device Memory Address after
Repeated Start or Stop conditions.
7.2.2
If the address pointer is for a nonvolatile memory location and it is during a Nonvolatile Write Cycle (tWC) the
MCP47FEBXX will respond with an A bit.
Note 1: During device communication, if the
Device Address/Command combination
is invalid or an unimplemented Address is
specified, then the MCP47FEBXX will
NACK that byte. To reset the I2C state
machine, the I2C communication must
detect a Start bit.
2: If the LAT pin is High (VIH), reads of the
volatile DAC Register read the output
value, not the internal register.
3: The Read commands operate the same
regardless of the state of the HighVoltage Command (HVC) signal.
 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
CONTINUOUS READS
Continuous reads allows the device’s memory to be
read quickly. Continuous reads are possible to all
memory locations. If a nonvolatile memory write cycle
is occurring, then Read commands may only access
the volatile memory locations.
Figure 7-7 shows the sequence for three continuous
reads.
For continuous reads, instead of transmitting a Stop or
Restart condition after the data transfer, the master
continually reads the data byte. The sequence ends
with the master Not Acknowledging and then sending a
Stop or Restart.
This is useful in reading the System Status register
(0Ah) to determine if an EEPROM write cycle has
completed (EEWA bit).
7.2.3
IGNORING AN I2C TRANSMISSION
AND “FALLING OFF” THE BUS
The MCP47FEBXX expects to receive complete, valid
I2C commands and will assume any command not
defined as a valid command is due to a bus corruption,
thus entering a passive high condition on the SDA signal. All signals will be ignored until the next valid Start
condition and Control Byte are received.

The other two I2C Specification command codes (04h
and 00h) are not supported, and therefore those
commands are Not Acknowledged.
General Call Commands
The MCP47FEBXX acknowledges the General Call
Address command (00h in the first byte). General
Call commands can be used to communicate to all
devices on the I2C bus (at the same time) that
understand the General
Call command. The
meaning of the general call address is always specified
in the second byte (see Figure 7-8).
If these 7-bit commands conflict with other I2C devices
on the bus, then the customer will need two I2C buses
and ensure that the devices are on the correct bus for
their desired application functionality.
Note:
If the second byte has a ‘1’ in the LSb, the specification
intends this to indicate a “Hardware General Call”. The
MCP47FEBXX will ignore this byte and all following
bytes (and A), until a Stop bit (P) is encountered.
The MCP47FEBXX devices support the following I2C
General Call commands:
Refer to the NXP specification #UM10204,
Rev. 03 19 June 2007 document for more
details on the General Call specifications.
The I2C specification does not allow
‘00000000’ (00h) in the second byte.
• General Call Reset (06h)
• General Call Wake-up (0Ah)
The General Call Reset command format is

The I C General Call Reset command forces a
reset event. This is similar to the Power-on Reset,
except that the reset delay timer is not started. This
command allows multiple MCP47FEBXX devices to be
reset synchronously.
The I C General Call Wake-up command forces
the device to exit from it’s Power-Down state (forces the
PDxB:PDxA bits to ‘00’). This command allows multiple
MCP47FEBXX devices to wake-up synchronously.
The device performs General Call Wake-up if the
second byte (after the General Call Address) is
“00001010” (0Ah). At the acknowledgment of this
byte, the device will perform the following task:
The device performs General Call Reset if the
second byte is “00000110” (06h). At the
acknowledgment of this byte, the device will abort the
current conversion and perform the following tasks:
• The device’s volatile power-down bits
(PDxB:PDxA) are forced to ‘00’. The nonvolatile
(EEPROM) power-down bit values are not
affected by this command.
• 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 (following the Acknowledgment
pulse).
• The VOUT will be available immediately, but after a
short time delay following the Acknowledgment
pulse. The VOUT value is determined by the
EEPROM contents.

Modify Device Configuration Bit
Commands
7.5
Enable Configuration Bit
(High-Voltage)
These commands are used to program the Device
Configuration bits. These commands require a high
voltage (VIHH) on the HVC pin.
Figure 7-11 (Enable) shows the formats for a single
Modify Write Protect or Wiper-Lock Technology command.
The MCP47FEBXX devices support the Modify
Device Configuration Bit commands:
A Modify Write Protect or Wiper-Lock Technology command will only start an EEPROM write
cycle (twc) after a properly formatted command has
been received and the Stop condition occurs.
• Enable Configuration Bit (High-Voltage)
• Disable Configuration Bit (High-Voltage)
These Configuration bits are used to inhibit the DAC
values from inadvertent modification. High voltage is
required to change the state of these bits if/when the
DAC values need to be modified.
During an EEPROM write cycle, only serial commands
to volatile memory are accepted. All other serial commands are ignored until the EEPROM write cycle (twc)
completes. This allows the Host Controller to operate
on the volatile DAC, the volatile VREF, Power-down,
Gain and Status, and WiperLock Technology Status
registers. The EEWA bit in the Status register indicates
the status of an EEPROM Write Cycle.
7.5.1
THE HIGH-VOLTAGE COMMAND
(HVC) SIGNAL
The High-Voltage Command (HVC) signal is used to
indicate that the command, or sequence of commands,
are in the High-Voltage mode. Signals >VIHH (~9.0V)
on the HVC pin puts the device into High-Voltage
mode. High Voltage commands allow the device’s
WiperLock Technology and write-protect features to be
enabled and disabled.
Note 1: There is a required delay after the HVC
pin is driven to the VIHH level to the 1st
edge of the SCL pin.
2: The command sequence can go from an
increment to any other valid command for
the specified address. Issuing an
increment or decrement to a nonvolatile
location will cause an error condition
(A will be generated).

MCP47FEBXX
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The MCP47FEBXX family of devices are general purpose, single/dual-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:
1.
2.
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 MCP47FEBXX 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 k and
10 kranges for Standard and Fast modes, and less
than 1 kfor High-Speed mode.

Set the R/W bit “High” in the device’s address byte.
Check the ACK bit of the address byte.
If the device acknowledges (ACK = 0) the
command, then the device is connected.
Otherwise, it is not connected.

Power Supply Considerations
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 ladder’s reference voltage
(VRxB:VRxA = ’00’).
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 MCP47FEBXX 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.

8.3.1.1
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.
VDD
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 MCP47FEB2X provides 4096 output
steps. If voltage reference is 4.096V (where Gx = ‘0’),
the LSb size is 1 mV. If a smaller output step size is
desired, a lower external voltage reference is needed.

Building a “Window” DAC
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 8-6 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.

In some applications, precision digital control of the

This circuit is typically used for linearizing a sensor
whose slope and offset varies.

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.
Figure 8-8 shows an example of building a
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”
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 = ±1.0 LSb, this design
can be attempted with the 12-bit DAC.
Step 2: Since DAC1’s VOUT1 has a resolution of
1 mV, its output only needs to be “pulled”
1/1000 to meet the 1 µV target. Dividing
VOUT0 by 1000 would allow the application
to compensate for DAC1’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 8-8.

Software I2C Interface Reset
Sequence
This technique is documented in AN1028.
At times, it may become necessary to perform a
Software Reset Sequence to ensure the MCP47FEBXX
device is in a correct and known I2C interface state. This
technique only resets the I2C state machine.
This is useful if the MCP47FEBXX 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.

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.
8.10
Design Considerations
In the design of a system with the MCP47FEBXX
devices, the following considerations should be taken
into account:
• 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.
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 MCP47FEBXX 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 MCP47FEBXX 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 MCP47FEBXX), which also forces the
MCP47FEBXX 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 MCP47FEBXX, AND then as the master device
returns to normal operation and issues a Start condition, while the MCP47FEBXX is issuing an acknowledge. In this case, if the 2nd Start bit is not sent (and the
Stop bit was sent) the MCP47FEBXX 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
MCP47FEBxx.
The Stop bit terminates the current I2C bus activity. The
MCP47FEBXX waits to detect the next Start condition.

TABLE 8-2:
Package
Noise
Inductively-coupled AC transients and digital switching
noise can degrade the input and output signal integrity,
potentially masking the MCP47FEBXX’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.

This I2C interface is a two-wire interface that allows
multiple devices to be connected to this two-wire bus.

Typical I2C Interface.
Overview
A device that sends data onto the bus is defined as
transmitter, and a device receiving data is defined 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. Devices that do not generate a serial clock
work as slave devices. 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.
The I2C serial protocol allows multiple master devices
on the I2C bus. This is referred to as “Multi-Master”. For
this, all Master devices must support Multi-Master
operation. In this configuration, all master devices monitor their communication. If they detect that they wish to
transmit a bit that is a logic high but is detected as a
logic low (some other master device driving), they “get
off” the bus. That is, they stop their communication and
continue to listen to determine if the communication is
directed towards them.
The I2C serial protocol only defines the field types, field
lengths, timings, etc. of a frame. The frame content
defines the behavior of the device. For details on the
frame content (commands/data), refer to Section 7.0
“Device Commands”.
The I2C serial protocol does define some commands
called “General Call Addressing”, which allows the
master device to communicate to all slave devices on
the I2C bus.
Note:
Refer
to
the
NXP
specification
#UM10204, Rev. 03 19 June 2007
document for more details on the
I2C specifications.
The I2C interface specifies different communication bit
rates. These are referred to as standard, fast or highspeed modes. The MCP47FEBXX supports these three
modes. The clock rates (bit rate) of these modes are:
• Standard mode: up to 100 kHz (kbit/s)
• Fast mode: up to 400 kHz (kbit/s)
• High-Speed mode (HS mode): up to 3.4 MHz
(Mbit/s)
The I2C protocol supports two addressing modes:
• 7-bit slave addressing
• 10-bit slave addressing (allows more devices on
I2C bus)
Only 7-bit slave addressing will be discussed in this
section.

B.2
Signal Descriptions
B.3.1.2
The I2C interface uses two pins (signals). These are:
• SDA (Serial Data)
• SCL (Serial Clock)
B.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 (Restart) 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.
B.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.
Depending on the clock rate mode, the interface will
display different characteristics.
B.3
B.3.1
I2C BIT STATES AND SEQUENCE
Figure B-8 shows the I2C transfer sequence, while
Figure B-7 shows the bit definitions. 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)

Acknowledge (A) Bit
The A bit (see Figure B-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, while the A bit has the SDA signal high.

Table B-1 shows some of the conditions where the
slave device issues the A or 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 B-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”.

Repeated Start Bit
B.3.1.5
The Repeated Start bit (see Figure B-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.
The Stop bit (see Figure B-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 should reset the I2C interface of the slave
device.
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”.

Note 1: A bus collision during the Repeated Start
condition occurs if:
FIGURE B-6:

•SDA is sampled low when SCL goes
from low to high.
•SCL goes low before SDA is asserted
low. This may indicate that another
master is attempting to transmit a
data ‘1’.
B.3.2
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.
B.3.3
ABORTING A TRANSMISSION
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.

SLOPE CONTROL
As the device transitions from HS mode to FS mode,
the slope control parameter will change from the HS
specification to the FS specification.
For Fast (FS) and High-Speed (HS) modes, the device
has a spike suppression and a Schmitt Trigger at SDA
and SCL inputs.
B.3.5
DEVICE ADDRESSING
The I2C Slave Address control byte is the first byte
received following the Start condition from the master
device. This byte has 7-bits to specify the Slave
Address and the Read/Write control bit.
Figure B-9 shows the I2C slave address byte format,
which contains the seven address bits and a read/write
(R/W) bit.

HS MODE
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 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.
The master code is sent as follows:
1.
2.
3.
Start condition (S)
High-Speed Master Mode Code (0000 1XXX),
The XXX bits are unique to the High-Speed (HS)
mode master.
No Acknowledge (A)
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 acknowledgments. 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.
See Figure B-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.

Slope Control
The slope control on the SDA output is different
between the Fast/Standard Speed and the High-Speed
clock modes of the interface.

GENERAL CALL
For details on the operation of the MCP47FEBXX’s
General
Call commands, see Section 7.3
“General Call Commands”.
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 B-11.
Note:
The I2C specification documents three 7-bit command
bytes.
Only one General Call command per
issue of the General Call control byte. Any
additional General Call commands are
ignored and Not Acknowledged.
The I2C specification does not allow ‘00000000’ (00h)
in the second byte. Also ‘00000100’ and ‘00000110’
functionality is defined by the specification. Lastly a
data byte with a ‘1’ in the LSb indicates a “Hardware
General Call”.

TERMINOLOGY
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.
Note:
C.2
When there are 2N resistors in the resistor
ladder and 2N tap points, the full scale
DAC register code is resistor element
(1 LSb) from the source reference voltage
(VDD or VREF).
Least Significant Bit (LSb)
This is the voltage difference between two successive
codes. For a given output voltage range, it is divided by
the resolution of the device (Equation C-1). The range
may be VDD (or VREF) to VSS (ideal), the DAC register
codes across the linear range of the output driver
(Measured 1), or full-scale to zero-scale (Measured 2).

C.4
Full-Scale Error (EFS)
The Full-Scale Error (see Figure C-3) is the error on
the VOUT pin relative to the expected VOUT voltage
(theoretical) for the maximum device DAC register
code (code FFFh for 12-bit, code 3FFh for 10-bit, and
code FFh for 8-bit) (see Equation C-2). The error is
dependent on the resistive load on the VOUT pin (and
where that load is tied to, such as VSS or VDD). For
loads (to VSS) greater than specified, the full-scale
error will be greater.
The error in bits is determined by the theoretical voltage
step size to give an error in LSb.
EQUATION C-2:
EFS =
FULL SCALE ERROR
VOUT(@FS) - VIDEAL(@FS)
VLSb(IDEAL)
Where:
EFS is expressed in LSb
VOUT(@FS) is the VOUT voltage when the DAC
register code is at Full scale.
VIDEAL(@FS) is the ideal output voltage when the
DAC register code is at Full scale.
VLSb(IDEAL) is the theoretical voltage step size.
C.5
Zero-Scale Error (EZS)
The Zero-Scale Error (see Figure C-2) is the difference
between the ideal and measured VOUT voltage with the
DAC register code equal to 000h (Equation C-3). The
error is dependent on the resistive load on the VOUT pin
(and where that load is tied to, such as VSS or VDD). For
loads (to VDD) greater than specified, the zero scale
error will be greater.
C.6
Total Unadjusted Error (ET)
The Total Unadjusted Error (ET) is the difference
between the ideal and measured VOUT voltage. Typically, calibration of the output voltage is implemented
to improve system performance.
The error in bits is determined by the theortical voltage
step size to give an error in LSb.

C.7
Offset Error (EOS)
The offset error is the delta voltage of the VOUT voltage
from the ideal output voltage at the specified code.
This code is specified where the output amplifier is in
the linear operating range; for the MCP47FEBXX we
specify code 100 (decimal). Offset error does not
include gain error. Figure C-2 illustrates this.
This error is expressed in mV. Offset error can be negative or positive. The offset error can be calibrated by
software in application circuits.
C.9
Gain Error (EG)
Gain error is a calculation based on the ideal slope
using the voltage boundaries for the linear range of the
output driver (ex code 100 and code 4000) (see
Figure C-3). The Gain error calculation nullifies the
device’s 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. FSR is the
ideal Full Scale voltage of the DAC (see Equation C-5).

Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
The Integral Nonlinearity (INL) error is the maximum
deviation of an actual transfer function from an ideal
transfer function (straight line) passing through the
defined end-points of the DAC transfer function (after
offset and gain errors have been removed).
In the MCP47FEBXX, INL is calculated using the
defined end points, DAC code 100 and code 4000. INL
can be expressed as a percentage of Full-Scale Range
(FSR) or in LSb. INL is also called relative accuracy.
Equation C-6 shows how to calculate the INL error in
LSb and Figure C-4 shows an example of INL accuracy.
Positive INL means higher VOUT voltage than ideal.
Negative INL means lower VOUT voltage than ideal.

The Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) error (see
Figure C-5) 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. Equation C-7 shows how to calculate
the DNL error between any two adjacent codes in LSb.

DNL ERROR

C.13
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 MCP47FEBXX, 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 1/4 to 3/4 of the full-scale range (12-bit
device: 400h to C00h).
C.14
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).
C.15
Digital Feed-through
The digital feed-through 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
input pins. The digital feed-through is measured when
the DAC is not being written to the output register.
C.16
-3 dB Bandwidth
This is the frequency of the signal at the VREF pin that
causes the voltage at the VOUT pin to fall -3 dB value
from a static value on the VREF pin. The output
decreases due to the RC characteristics of the resistor
ladder and the characteristics of the output buffer.
C.17
Power-Supply Sensitivity (PSS)
PSS indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by
changes in the supply voltage. PSS is the ratio of the
change in VOUT to a change in VDD for mid-scale output
of the DAC. The VOUT is measured while the VDD is
varied from 5.5V to 2.7V as a step (VREF voltage held
constant), and expressed in %/%, which is the %
change of the DAC output voltage with respect to the %
change of the VDD voltage.
EQUATION C-8:
PSS =
PSS CALCULATION
( VOUT(@5.5V) - VOUT(@2.7V) ) / VOUT(@5.5V) )
(5.5V - 2.7V) / 5.5V
Where:
PSS is expressed in % / %.
VOUT(@5.5V) = The measured DAC output
voltage with VDD = 5.5V.
VOUT(@2.7V) = The measured DAC output
voltage with VDD = 2.7V.
C.18
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% (VREF voltage held constant),
and expressed in dB or µV/V.
C.19
VOUT Temperature Coefficient
The VOUT temperature coefficient quantifies the error in
the resistor ladder’s resistance ratio (DAC Register
code value) and Output Buffer due to temperature drift.
C.20
Absolute Temperature Coefficient
The absolute temperature coefficient quantifies the
error in the end-to-end output voltage (Nominal output
voltage VOUT) due to temperature drift. For a DAC this
error is typically not an issue due to the ratiometric
aspect of the output.
C.21
Noise Spectral Density
Noise Spectral Density is a measurement of the
device’s internally generated random noise, and is
characterized as a spectral density (voltage per √Hz).
It is measured by loading the DAC to the mid-scale
value and measuring the noise at the VOUT pin. It is
measured in nV/√Hz.
