General Description
The MCP48FVBXX are Single- and Dual-channel 8-bit,
10-bit, and 12-bit buffered voltage output
Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC) with volatile
memory and an SPI 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 an SPI-compatible serial interface.
Write commands are supported up to 20 MHz while
read commands are supported up to 10 MHz.

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 the worst-case current mode.
Resistance is defined as the resistance between the VREF pin (mode VRxB:VRxA = ‘10’) to VSS pin. For
dual-channel devices (MCP48FVBX2), this is the effective resistance of the each resistor ladder. The resistance
measurement is that of the two resistor ladders measured in parallel.

3.1
Positive Power Supply Input (VDD)
3.4
No Connect (NC)
VDD is the positive supply voltage input pin. The input
supply voltage is relative to VSS.
The NC pin is not connected to the device.
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.
3.5
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
• VREF pin voltage unbuffered
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 and
Gx bits are also controlled by the LAT pin state.
The pin is compatible with HVC voltage levels that are
used for the nonvolatile MCP48FEBXX devices.
The buffered option is offered in cases where the
external reference voltage does not have sufficient
current capability to not drop its voltage when
connected to the internal resistor ladder circuit.
3.7
When the DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the
device VDD, the VREF pin is disconnected from the
internal circuit.
The CS pin enables/disables the serial interface. The
serial interface must be enabled for the SPI commands
to be received by the device.
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.
Refer to Section 6.2, “SPI Serial Interface” for more
details of SPI Serial Interface communication.
See Section 5.2, “Voltage Reference Selection” and
Register 4-2 for more details on the configuration bits.
3.8
3.3
Analog Output Voltage Pin (VOUT)
SPI - Chip Select Pin (CS)
SPI - Serial Data In Pin (SDI)
The SDI pin is the serial data input pin of the SPI
interface. The SDI pin is used to write the DAC
registers and configuration bits.
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:
Refer to Section 6.2, “SPI Serial Interface” for more
details on SPI Serial Interface communication.
• 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).
The SDO pin is the serial data output pin of the SPI
interface. The SDO pin is used to read the DAC
registers and configuration bits.
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 in Register 4-3 and Table 5-5.
The SCK pin is the serial clock pin of the SPI interface.
The MCP48FVBXX SPI Interface only accepts external
serial clocks.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MCP48FVBX1 (MCP48FVB01, MCP48FVB11,
and MCP48FVB21) devices are single-channel voltage
output devices. The MCP48FVBX2 (MCP48FVB02,
MCP48FVB12, and MCP48FVB22) devices are
dual-channel voltage output devices.
These devices are offered with 8-bit (MCP48FVB0X),
10-bit (MCP48FVB1X) and 12-bit (MCP48FVB2X)
resolution and include volatile memory, an SPI 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
software-selectable 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,
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 whether the reset is a
POR or a BOR.
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 volatile memory if the proper
serial command is executed.
The devices operate 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 devices operate between 1.8V and 2.7V, but

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 (a Power-on Reset event), the following occurs:
• The default DAC register value is latched into
volatile DAC register
• The default configuration bit values are 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 SPI serial
interface is operational. During this delay time, the
SPI 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
• 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 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.

power-down events under typical conditions.

VOLATILE REGISTER MEMORY
(RAM)
There are up to five volatile memory locations:
•
•
•
•
DAC0 and DAC1 Output Value Registers
VREF Select Register
Power-Down Configuration Register
Gain and Status Register
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.

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:

• 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 by 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.

Resistor Ladder Model
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.

5.2.1
UNBUFFERED MODE
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 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.
2: If the VREF pin is tied to the VDD voltage,
VDD mode (VREF1:VREF0 = ‘00’) is
recommended.

Note 1: The Band Gap voltage (VBG) is 1.22V
typical. The band gap output goes through
the buffer with a 2x gain to create the VRL
voltage. See Section 5.4, “Internal Band
Gap” for additional information on the
band gap circuit.
FIGURE 5-4:

5.2.3
BAND GAP 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.

The Step Voltage is dependent on the device resolution

When Gain = 2 (VRL = VREF) and
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 is at full-scale output.

FIGURE 5-6:

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 initial 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
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).
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).
5.3.5
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 is provided in the Typical
Performance
Curves
for
this
device
(see
MCP48FXBXX - “Typical Performance Curves”
DS20005440).
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.
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.
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.

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.

Internal Band Gap
The internal band gap is designed to drive the Resistor
Ladder Buffer.
The resistance of a resistor ladder (RRL) is targeted to
be 140 k (40 k), which means a minimum
resistance of 100 k.
The band gap selection can be used across the
VDD voltages while maximizing the VOUT voltage
ranges. For VDD voltages below the 2  Gain  VBG
voltage, the output for the upper codes will be clipped
to the VDD voltage. Table 5-4 shows the maximum

Latch Pin (LAT)
The Latch pin controls when the volatile DAC Register
value is transferred to the DAC wiper. This is useful for
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
is asynchronous to the serial interface operation.

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 still 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 soon as the volatile DAC Register value is
updated.

The LAT pin allows the DAC wiper to be updated to an
external event as well as have multiple DAC
channels/devices update at a common event.
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
control when the wiper register is updated relative to
the value of a sine wave signal.
Case 1: Zero Crossing of sine wave to update volatile DAC0 register (using LAT pin)
Case 2: Fixed Point Crossing of sine wave to update volatile DAC0 register (using LAT pin)

Power-Down Operation
• Turn off most of the DAC module’s internal circuits
(output op amp, resistor ladder, et al.)
• Op amp output becomes high-impedance to the
VOUT pin
• Disconnects resistor ladder from reference
voltage (VRL)
Depending on the selected power-down mode, the
following will occur:
• VOUT pin is switched to one of two resistive
pull-downs (see Table 5-5):
- 100 k (typical)
- 1 k (typical)
• Op amp is powered-down and the VOUT pin
becomes high-impedance.
There is a delay (TPDE) between the PD1:PD0 bits
changing from ‘00’ to either ‘01’, ‘10’ or ‘11’ with the
op amp no longer driving the VOUT output and the
pull-down 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.

To allow the application to conserve power when the

EXITING POWER-DOWN
When the device exits Power-Down mode, the
following occurs:
• Disabled circuits (op amp, resistor ladder, et al.)
are turned on
• The resistor ladder is connected to selected
reference voltage (VRL)
• The selected pull-down resistor is disconnected
• The VOUT output is 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.
A write command forcing the PD1:PD0 bits to ‘00’, will
cause the device to exit the power-down mode.

DAC Registers, Configuration
Bits, and Status Bits
The MCP48FVBXX devices have volatile memory.
Table 4-2 shows the volatile memory and its interaction
due to a POR event.
In the volatile memory, there are five configuration bits,
the DAC registers and two volatile status bits. The
volatile DAC registers will be either 12 bits
(MCP48FVB2X), 10 bits (MCP48FVB1X), or 8 bits
(MCP48FVB0X) wide.
When the device is first powered-up, it automatically
loads the device default 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.
The memory is read and written using an SPI interface.
Refer to Sections 6.0, “SPI Serial Interface Module”
and 7.0, “SPI Commands” for more details on reading
and writing the device’s memory.
Register 4-4 shows the operation of the device status
bits, and Table 4-2 shows the default factory value of
the device configuration bits after a POR/BOR event.
There is one status bit (the POR bit) which indicates if
the device VDD is above or below the POR trip point.
After a POR event, this bit is a ‘1’. Reading the Gain
Control and System Status register clears this bit (‘0’).

SPI SERIAL INTERFACE
MODULE
6.2
The MCP48FVBXX’s SPI Serial Interface Module
supports the SPI serial protocol specification.
Figure 6-1 shows a typical SPI interface connection.
SPI SERIAL INTERFACE
The MCP48FVBXX devices support the SPI serial
protocol. This SPI operates in slave mode (does not
generate the serial clock).
The SPI interface uses up to four pins. These are:
The command format and waveforms for the
MCP48FVBXX are defined in Section 7.0, “SPI
Commands”.
•
•
•
•
6.1
A typical SPI Interface is shown in Figure 6-1. In the
SPI interface, the Master’s Output pin is connected to
the Slave’s Input pin, and the Master’s Input pin is
connected to the Slave’s Output pin.
Overview
This section details some of the specific characteristics of
the MCP48FVBXX’s Serial Interface Module.
The following sections discuss some of these
device-specific characteristics:
• Communication Data Rates
• POR/BOR
• Interface Pins (CS, SCK, SDI, SDO, and
LAT/HVC)
CS - Chip Select
SCK - Serial Clock
SDI - Serial Data In
SDO - Serial Data Out
The MCP48FVBXX SPI module supports two (of the
four) standard SPI modes. These are Mode 0,0 and
1,1. The SPI mode is determined by the state of the
SCK pin (VIH or VIL) when the CS pin transitions from
inactive (VIH) to active (VIL).
An additional HVC pin is available for High Voltage
command
support
(for
compatibility
with
MCP48FEBXX devices). The HVC pin is high-voltage
tolerant.
6.3
Communication Data Rates
The MCP48FVBXX devices support clock rates (bit
rate) of up to 20 MHz for write commands and 10 MHz
for read commands.
For most applications, the write time will be considered
more important, since that is how the device operation
is controlled.
6.4
POR/BOR
On a POR/BOR event, the SPI Serial Interface Module
state machine is reset, which includes that the
Device’s Memory Address pointer is forced to 00h.

6.5
Interface Pins (CS, SCK, SDI, SDO,
and LAT/HVC)
The operation of the five interface pins is discussed in
this section. These pins are:
•
•
•
•
•
SDI (Serial Data In)
SDO (Serial Data Out)
SCK (Serial Clock)
CS (Chip Select)
LAT/HVC (High Voltage command)
SERIAL DATA IN (SDI)
The Serial Data In (SDI) signal is the data signal into
the device. The value on this pin is latched on the
rising edge of the SCK signal.
6.5.2
SERIAL DATA OUT (SDO)
The Serial Data Out (SDO) signal is the data signal out
of the device. The value on this pin is driven on the
falling edge of the SCK signal.
Once the CS pin is forced to the active level (VIL), the
SDO pin will be driven. The state of the SDO pin is
determined by the serial bit’s position in the command,
the command selected, and if there is a command
error state (CMDERR).
6.5.3
THE CS SIGNAL
The Chip Select (CS) signal is used to select the
device and frame a command sequence. To start a
command, or sequence of commands, the CS signal
must transition from the inactive state (VIH) to the
active state (VIL).
After the CS signal has gone active, the SDO pin is
driven and the clock bit counter is reset.
The serial interface works on a 24-bit boundary. The
Chip Select (CS) pin frames the SPI commands.
6.5.1
6.5.4
SERIAL CLOCK (SCK)
(SPI FREQUENCY OF OPERATION)
Note: There is a required delay after the CS pin
goes active to the 1st edge of the SCK pin.
If an error condition occurs for an SPI command, then
the command byte’s Command Error (CMDERR) bit
(on the SDO pin) will be driven low (VIL). To exit the
error condition, the user must take the CS pin to the
VIH level.
When the CS pin returns to the inactive state (VIH), the
SPI module resets (including the address pointer).
While the CS pin is in the inactive state (VIH), the serial
interface is ignored. This allows the Host Controller to
interface to other SPI devices using the same SDI,
SDO, and SCK signals.
6.5.5
THE HVC SIGNAL
The HVC pin is compatible with High Voltage commands levels (used with MCP48FEBXX devices).
6.6
The SPI Modes
The SPI interface is specified to operate up to 20 MHz.
The actual clock rate depends on the configuration of
the system and the serial command used. Table 6-1
shows the SCK frequency for different configurations.
The SPI module supports two (of the four) standard SPI
modes. These are Mode 0,0 and 1,1. The SPI mode is
determined by the state of the SCK pin (VIH or VIL)
when the CS pin transitions from inactive (VIH) to active
(VIL).

The device memory is accessed when the master
sends a proper command byte to select the desired
operation. The memory location getting accessed is
contained in the command byte’s AD4:AD0 bits. The
action desired is contained in the command byte’s

ERROR CONDITION
The Command Error (CMDERR) bit indicates if the
five address bits received (AD4:AD0) and the two
command bits received (C1:C0) are a valid
combination (see Figure 7-1). The CMDERR bit is
high if the combination is valid and low if the
combination is invalid.
SPI commands that do not have a multiple of eight
clocks are ignored.
Once an error condition has occurred, any following
commands are ignored. All following SDO bits will be
low until the CMDERR condition is cleared by forcing
the CS pin to the inactive state (VIH).
7.0.3.1
Aborting a Transmission
All SPI transmissions must have the correct number of
SCK pulses to be executed. The command is not
executed until the complete number of clocks has
been received. If the CS pin is forced to the inactive
state (VIH), the serial interface is reset. Partial commands are not executed.
SPI is more susceptible to noise than other bus
protocols. The most likely case is that noise corrupts
the value of the data being clocked into the
MCP48FVBXX or the SCK pin is injected with extra
clock pulses. This may cause data to be corrupted in
the device, or a Command Error to occur, since the
address and command bits were not a valid
combination. The extra SCK pulse will also cause the
SPI data (SDI) and clock (SCK) to be out of sync.
Forcing the CS pin to the inactive state (VIH) resets the
serial interface. The MCP48FVBXX’s SPI interface will
ignore activity on the SDI and SCK pins until the CS
pin transition to the active state is detected (VIH to VIL).
7.0.4
CONTINUOUS COMMANDS
The device supports the ability to execute commands
continuously. While the CS pin is in the active state
(VIL), any sequence of valid commands may be
received.
The following example is a valid sequence of events:
1.
CS pin driven active (VIL)
2.
3.
4.
Read command
Write command (Volatile memory)
CS pin driven inactive (VIH)
Note 1:It is recommended that while the CS pin is
active, only one type of command should
be issued. When changing commands, it
is advisable to take the CS pin inactive
then force it back to the active state.
2: It is also recommended that long
command strings should be broken down
into shorter command strings. This
reduces the probability of noise on the
SCK pin, corrupting the desired SPI
command string.
Note 1:When data is not being received by the
MCP48FVBXX, it is recommended that the
CS pin be forced to the inactive level (VIH).
2: It is also recommended that long
continuous command strings be broken
down into single commands or shorter
continuous command strings. This
reduces the probability of noise on the
SCK pin corrupting the desired SPI
commands.

7.1.2
Write Command
Write commands are used to transfer data to the
desired memory location (from the Host controller).
A continuous write mode of operation is possible when
writing to the device’s volatile memory registers (see
Table 7-3). Figure 7-3 shows the sequence for three
continuous writes. The writes do not need to be to the
same volatile memory address.
Write commands can be structured as either Single or
Continuous.
The format of the command is shown in Figures 7-2
(Single) and 7-3 (Continuous).
TABLE 7-3:
A write command to a volatile memory location
changes that location after a properly formatted write
command has been received.

SINGLE WRITE TO VOLATILE
MEMORY
The write operation requires that the CS pin be in the
active state (VIL). Typically, the CS pin will be in the
inactive state (VIH) and is driven to the active state
(VIL). The 24-bit Write command (Command Byte
and Data Bytes) is then clocked in on the SCK and
SDI pins. Once all 24 bits have been received, the
specified volatile address is updated. A write will not
occur if the Write command is not exactly 24 clock
pulses. This protects against system issues corrupting
the volatile memory locations.
Figures 7-4 and 7-5 show the waveforms for a single
write (depending on SPI mode).

7.2.1
Read Command
LAT PIN INTERACTION
During a Read command of the DACx Registers, if the
LAT pin transitions from VIH to VIL, then the read data
may be corrupted. This is due to the fact that the data
being read is the output value and not the DAC register
value. The LAT pin transition causes an update of the
output value. Based on the DAC output value, the
DACx register value, and the Command bit where the
LAT pin transitions, the value being read could be
corrupted.
The Read command is a 24-bit command and is used
to transfer data from the specified memory location to
the Host controller. The Read command can be issued
to the volatile memory locations. The format of the
command as well as an example SDI and SDO data is
shown in Figure 7-6.
The first 7-bits of the Read command determine the
address and the command. The 8th clock will output
the CMDERR bit on the SDO pin. By means of the
remaining 16 clocks, the device will transmit the data
bits of the specified address (AD4:AD0).
If LAT pin transitions occur during a read of the DACx
register, it is recommended that sequential reads be
performed until the two most recent read values match.
Then the most recent read data is good.
The Read command formats include:
• Single Read
• Continuous Reads
7.2.2
SINGLE READ
The Read command operation requires that the CS pin
be in the active state (VIL). Typically, the CS pin will be
in the inactive state (VIH) and is driven to the active
state (VIL). The 24-bit Read command (Command Byte
and Data Byte) is then clocked in on the SCK and SDI
pins. The SDO pin starts driving data on the 8th bit
(CMDERR bit), and the addressed data comes out on
the 9th through 24th clocks.
Note 1: During device communication, if the
Device Address/Command combination
is invalid or an unimplemented Address is
specified, then the MCP48FVBXX will
command error that byte. To reset the
SPI state machine, the CS pin must be
driven to the VIH state.
2: If the LAT pin is High (VIH), reads of the
volatile DAC Register address returns
that DAC’s output value, not the internal
register.
3: Read commands ignore any High Voltage Command levels that are present on
the HVC pin.

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 8-1 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.

The MCP48FVBXX devices are rail-to-rail output DACs
designed to operate with a VDD range of 2.7V to 5.5V.
The internal output operational 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 operational amplifier by setting the
Configuration register bits. Also, the user can use
internal VDD as the reference or use an external
reference. Various user options and easy-to-use
features make the devices suitable for various modern
DAC applications.

8.2.1.1
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: 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 on the DAC’s output:
Using a voltage divider 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 8-2 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 MCP48FVB2X 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.

8.2.1.2
Building a “Window” DAC
8.3
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. Figures 8-3 and 8-5 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 8-4 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.

Selectable Gain and Offset Bipolar
Voltage Output
In some applications, precision digital control of the
output range is desirable. Figure 8-5 illustrates how to
use DAC devices to achieve this in a bipolar or
single-supply application.
This circuit is typically used for linearizing a sensor
whose slope and offset varies.
The equation to design a bipolar “window” DAC would
be utilized if R3, R4 and R5 are populated.

Step 1: Calculate the range: +2.05V – (-2.05V) = 4.1V.
C1 = 0.1 µF
Step 2: Calculate the resolution needed:
4.1V/1 mV = 4100
Since 212 = 4096, 12-bit resolution is desired.
Step 3: The amplifier gain (R2/R1), multiplied by
full-scale VOUT (4.096V), must be equal to
the desired minimum output to achieve
bipolar operation. Since any gain can be
realized by choosing resistor values
(R1 + R2), the VREF value must be selected
first. If a VREF of 4.096V is used, solve for
the amplifier’s gain by setting the DAC to 0,
knowing that the output needs to be -2.05V.

Designing a Double-Precision
DAC
8.6
Building Programmable Current
Source
Figure 8-6 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 8-7 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.
Double-Precision DAC Example
The smaller RSENSE is, the less power dissipated
across it. However, this also reduces the resolution that
the current can be controlled.
If a similar application to the one developed in 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.
Step 1: Calculate the resolution needed:
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
Equation 8-8.

Design Considerations
In the design of a system with the MCP48FVBXX
devices, the following considerations should be taken
into account:
• Power Supply Considerations
• Layout Considerations
8.8.1
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Several layout considerations may be applicable to
your application. These may include:
• Noise
• PCB Area Requirements
8.8.2.1
POWER SUPPLY
CONSIDERATIONS
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 noise sources
on signal integrity. Figure 8-8 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.
VDD
Noise
Inductively-coupled AC transients and digital switching
noise can degrade the input and output signal integrity,
potentially masking the MCP48FVBXX’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.
8.8.2.2
PCB Area Requirements
In some applications, PCB area is a criteria for device
selection. Table 8-2 shows the typical package
dimensions and area for the 10-lead MSOP package.

TERMINOLOGY
Resolution
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.
When there are 2N resistors in the resistor
ladder and 2N tap points, the full-scale
DAC register code is the resistor element
(1 LSb) from the source reference voltage
(VDD or VREF).
Note:
B.2
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 B-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).

Full-Scale Error (EFS)
The Full-Scale Error (see Figure B-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 B-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 B-2:
EFS =
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 theoretical voltage
step size to give an error in LSb.

the DAC register code equal to 000h (Equation B-3).
The error is dependent on the resistive load on the
VOUT pin (and where that load is tied to, such as VSS or

B.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 MCP48FVBXX we
specify code 100 (decimal). Offset error does not
include gain error. Figure B-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.
B.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 B-3). The gain error calculation nullifies the
device’s offset error.
Gain error indicates how well the slope of the actual
transfer function matches the slope of the ideal transfer
function. 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 B-5).

( 4000 * VLSb(Ideal) )
VOS = Measured offset voltage.
VFull Scale Range = Expected full-scale output
value (such as the VREF
voltage).
B.10
Gain-Error Drift (EGD)
Gain-error drift is the variation in gain error due to a
change in ambient temperature. Gain error drift is
typically expressed in ppm/oC (of full-scale range).

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 MCP48FVBXX, 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 B-6 shows how to
calculate the INL error in LSb and Figure B-4 shows an
example of INL accuracy.
Positive INL means higher VOUT voltage than ideal.
Negative INL means lower VOUT voltage than ideal.
EQUATION B-6:
INL ERROR

EINL = OUT
VLSb(Measured)
Where:
EINL is expressed in LSb.
VCalc_Ideal = Code * VLSb(Measured) + VOS
VOUT(Code = n) = The measured DAC output
voltage with a given DAC
register code
VLSb(Measured) = For Measured:
(VOUT(4000) - VOUT(100))/3900
VOS = Measured offset voltage.
B.12
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
The Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) error (see
Figure B-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 B-7 shows how to calculate
the DNL error between any two adjacent codes in LSb.
EQUATION B-7:
DNL ERROR

EDNL =
VLSb(Measured)

Where:
EDNL is expressed in LSb.
VOUT(Code = n) = The measured DAC output voltage
with a given DAC register code.

B.13
Settling Time
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 MCP48FVBXX, 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).
B.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
B.15
Digital Feedthrough
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 on
the digital input pins.
B.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 B-8:
PSS CALCULATION
V OUT  @5.5V  – VOUT  @2.7V 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------V OUT  @5.5V 
PSS = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
B.18
Power-Supply Rejection Ratio
(PSRR)
The digital feedthrough is measured when the DAC is
not being written to the output register.
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.
B.16
B.19
Example: all 0s to all 1s and vice versa.
-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.
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.
B.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.
B.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.
