MCP4801/4811/4821
8/10/12-Bit Voltage Output Digital-to-Analog Converter
with Internal VREF and SPI Interface
Features
Description
•
•
•
•
•
•
The MCP4801/4811/4821 devices are single channel
8-bit, 10-bit and 12-bit buffered voltage output
Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs), respectively. The
devices operate from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply with
an SPI compatible Serial Peripheral Interface.
The devices have a high precision internal voltage
reference (VREF = 2.048V). The user can configure the
full-scale range of the device to be 2.048V or 4.096V by
setting the Gain Selection Option bit (gain of 1 of 2).
The devices can be operated in Active or Shutdown
mode by setting a Configuration register bit or using the
SHDN pin. In Shutdown mode, most of the internal
circuits, including the output amplifier, are turned off for
power savings, while the amplifier output (VOUT) stage is
configured to present a known high resistance output
load (500 k typical.
The devices include double-buffered registers,
allowing a synchronous update of the DAC output
using the LDAC pin. These devices also incorporate a
Power-on Reset (POR) circuit to ensure reliable powerup.
The devices utilize a resistive string architecture, with
its inherent advantages of low DNL error, low ratio
metric temperature coefficient and fast settling time.
These devices are specified over the extended
temperature range (+125°C).
The devices provide high accuracy and low noise
performance for consumer and industrial applications
where calibration or compensation of signals (such as
temperature, pressure and humidity) are required.
The MCP4801/4811/4821 devices are available in the
PDIP, SOIC, MSOP and DFN packages.

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

SDI is the SPI compatible serial data input pin.
3.5
Latch DAC Input (LDAC)
LDAC (latch DAC synchronization input) pin is used to
transfer the input latch register to the DAC register (output latches, VOUT). When this pin is low, VOUT is
updated with input register content. This pin can be tied
to low (VSS) if the VOUT update is desired at the rising
edge of the CS pin. This pin can be driven by an external control device such as an MCU I/O pin.
3.6
Analog Output (VOUT)
VOUT is the DAC analog output pin. The DAC output
has an output amplifier. The full-scale range of the DAC
output is from VSS to G*VREF, where G is the gain
selection option (1x or 2x). The DAC analog output
cannot go higher than the supply voltage (VDD).
3.7
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP)
There is an internal electrical connection between the
exposed thermal pad (EP) and the VSS pin. They must
be connected to the same potential on the PCB.
SCK is the SPI compatible serial clock input pin.

GENERAL OVERVIEW
The MCP4801, MCP4811 and MCP4821 are single
channel voltage-output 8-bit, 10-bit and 12-bit DAC
devices, respectively. These devices include rail-to-rail
output amplifier, internal voltage reference, shutdown
and reset-management circuitry. The devices use an
SPI serial communication interface and operate with a
single supply voltage from 2.7V to 5.5V.
The DAC input coding of these devices is straight
binary. Equation 4-1 shows the DAC analog output
voltage calculation.

INL ACCURACY
Integral Non-Linearity (INL) error is the maximum
deviation between an actual code transition point and
its corresponding ideal transition point once offset and
gain errors have been removed. The two endpoints
method (from 0x000 to 0xFFF) is used for the
calculation. Figure 4-1 shows the details.
A positive INL error represents transition(s) later than
ideal. A negative INL error represents transition(s) earlier than ideal.

Offset error is the deviation from zero voltage output

OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
The analog DAC output is buffered with a low-power,
precision CMOS amplifier. This amplifier provides low
offset voltage and low noise. The output stage enables
the device to operate with output voltages close to the
power supply rails. Refer to Section 1.0 “Electrical
Characteristics” for the analog output voltage range
and load conditions.
In addition to resistive load-driving capability, the
amplifier will also drive high capacitive loads without
oscillation. The amplifier’s strong output allows VOUT to
be used as a programmable voltage reference in a
system.
4.1.1.1

FIGURE 4-2:
4.1.1
Circuit Descriptions
Programmable Gain Block
The rail-to-rail output amplifier has two configurable
gain options: a gain of 1x (<GA> = 1) or a gain of 2x
(<GA> = 0). The default setting is a gain of 2x. This
results in an ideal full-scale output of 0.000V to 4.096V
due to the internal reference (VREF = 2.048V).
4.1.2
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The MCP4801/4811/4821 devices utilize internal
2.048V voltage reference. The voltage reference has a
low temperature coefficient and low noise
characteristics. Refer to Section 1.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for the voltage reference specifications.
GAIN ERROR
Gain error is the deviation from the ideal output,
VREF – 1 LSb, excluding the effects of offset error.

4.1.3
POWER-ON RESET CIRCUIT
The internal Power-on Reset (POR) circuit monitors the
power supply voltage (VDD) during the device
operation. The circuit also ensures that the DAC
powers up with high output impedance (<SHDN> = 0,
typically 500 k. The devices will continue to have a
high-impedance output until a valid write command is
received, and the LDAC pin meets the input low
threshold.
If the power supply voltage is less than the POR
threshold (VPOR = 2.0V, typical), the DAC will be held
in the Reset state. It will remain in that state until
VDD > VPOR and a subsequent write command is
received.
Supply Voltages
Figure 4-3 shows a typical power supply transient
pulse and the duration required to cause a reset to
occur, as well as the relationship between the duration
and trip voltage. A 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor,
mounted as close as possible to the VDD pin, can
provide additional transient immunity.
5V
VPOR
SHUTDOWN MODE
The user can shut down the device using a software
command (<SHDN> = 0) or SHDN pin. During
shutdown mode, most of the internal circuits, including
the output amplifier, are turned off for power savings.
The internal reference is not affected by the shutdown
command. The serial interface also remains active,
allowing a write command to bring the device out of
Shutdown mode. There will be no analog output at the
VOUT pin, which is internally switched to a known resistive load (500 ktypical. Figure 4-4 shows the analog
output stage during Shutdown mode.
The condition of the Power-on Reset circuit during
Shutdown is as follows:
a)
b)
Turned off if shutdown occurred from the SHDN
pin
Remains turned on if the shutdown occurred
through software
The device will remain in Shutdown mode until the
<SHDN> bit = 1 is latched into the device or SHDN pin
is changed to logic high. When the device is changed
from Shutdown to Active mode, the output settling time
takes < 10 µs, but greater than the standard active
mode settling time (4.5 µs).

SERIAL INTERFACE
5.1
Overview
The MCP4801/4811/4821 devices are designed to
interface directly with the Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) port, available on many microcontrollers, and
supports Mode 0,0 and Mode 1,1. Commands and data
are sent to the device via the SDI pin, with data being
clocked-in on the rising edge of SCK. The
communications are unidirectional and, thus, data
cannot be read out of the MCP4801/4811/4821
devices. The CS pin must be held low for the duration
of a write command. The write command consists of
16 bits and is used to configure the DAC’s control and
data latches. Register 5-1 to Register 5-3 detail the
input register that is used to configure and load the
DAC register for each device. Figure 5-1 to Figure 5-3
show the write command for each device.
Refer to Figure 1-1 and the SPI Timing Specifications
Table for detailed input and output timing specifications
for both Mode 0,0 and Mode 1,1 operation.
 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
5.2
Write Command
The write command is initiated by driving the CS pin
low, followed by clocking the four Configuration bits and
the 12 data bits into the SDI pin on the rising edge of
SCK. The CS pin is then raised, causing the data to be
latched into the DAC’s input register.
The MCP4801/4811/4821 devices utilize a doublebuffered latch structure to allow the DAC output to be
synchronized with the LDAC pin, if desired.
By bringing down the LDAC pin to a low state, the
content stored in the DAC’s input register is transferred
into the DAC’s output register (VOUT), and VOUT is
updated.
All writes to the MCP4801/4811/4821 devices are
16-bit words. Any clocks after the first 16th clock will be
ignored. The Most Significant four bits are
Configuration bits. The remaining 12 bits are data bits.
No data can be transferred into the device with CS
high. The data transfer will only occur if 16 clocks have
been transferred into the device. If the rising edge of
CS occurs prior, shifting of data into the input register
will be aborted.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
6.3
Output Noise Considerations
The MCP4801/4811/4821 family of devices are general
purpose, single channel voltage output DACs for
various applications where a precision operation with
low-power and internal voltage reference is required.
The voltage noise density (in µV/Hz) is illustrated in
Figure 2-13. This noise appears at VOUT, and is
primarily a result of the internal reference voltage.
Its 1/f corner (fCORNER) is approximately 400 Hz.
Applications generally suited for the devices are:
Figure 2-14 illustrates the voltage noise (in mVRMS or
mVP-P). A small bypass capacitor on VOUT is an
effective method to produce a single-pole Low-Pass
Filter (LPF) that will reduce this noise. For instance, a
bypass capacitor sized to produce a 1 kHz LPF would
result in an ENREF of about 100 µVRMS. This would be
necessary when trying to achieve the low DNL error
performance (at G = 1x) that the MCP4801/4811/4821
devices are capable of. The tested range for stability
is .001 µF through 4.7 µF.
Digital Interface
The MCP4801/4811/4821 devices utilize a 3-wire
synchronous serial protocol to transfer the DAC’s setup
and input codes from the digital devices. The serial
protocol can be interfaced to SPI or Microwire
peripherals which are common on many microcontroller units (MCUs), including Microchip’s PIC® MCUs
and dsPIC® DSCs.
In addition to the three serial connections (CS, SCK
and SDI), the LDAC signal synchronizes the DAC
output with LDAC pin event. By bringing the LDAC pin
down “low”, the DAC input codes and settings in the
DAC input register are latched into the output register,
and the DAC analog output is updated. Figure 6-1
shows an example of the pin connections. Note that the
LDAC pin can be tied low (VSS) to reduce the required
connections from 4 to 3 I/O pins. In this case, the DAC
output can be immediately updated when a valid
16 clock transmission has been received and the CS
pin has been raised.

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

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

6.5.1.1
Single-Supply Operation
Decreasing Output Step Size
The MCP4801/4811/4821 devices are rail-to-rail
voltage output DAC devices designed to operate with a
VDD range of 2.7V to 5.5V. Its output amplifier is robust
enough to drive small-signal loads directly. Therefore, it
does not require any external output buffer for most
applications.
If the application is calibrating the bias voltage of a
diode or transistor, a bias voltage range of 0.8V may be
desired with about 200 µV resolution per step. Two
common methods to achieve a 0.8V range are to either
reduce VREF to 0.82V (using the MCP49XX family
device that uses external reference) or use a voltage
divider on the DAC’s output.
6.5.1
Using a VREF is an option if the VREF is available with
the desired output voltage range. However,
occasionally, when using a low-voltage VREF, the noise
floor causes SNR error that is intolerable. Using a
voltage divider method is another option and provides
some advantages when VREF needs to be very low or
when the desired output voltage is not available. In this
case, a larger value VREF is used while two resistors
scale the output range down to the precise desired
level.
DC SET POINT OR CALIBRATION
A common application for the devices is a digitallycontrolled set point and/or calibration of variable
parameters, such as sensor offset or slope. For
example, the MCP4821 and MCP4822 provide
4096 output steps. If G = 1x is selected, the internal
2.048V VREF would produce 500 µV of resolution. If
G = 2x is selected, the internal 2.048 VREF would
produce 1 mV of resolution.
Example 6-1 illustrates this concept. Note that the
bypass capacitor on the output of the voltage divider
plays a critical function in attenuating the output noise
of the DAC and the induced noise from the
environment.

6.5.1.2
Building a “Window” DAC
If the threshold is not near VREF, 2VREF or VSS, then
creating a “window” around the threshold has several
advantages. One simple method to create this
“window” is to use a voltage divider network with a pullup and pull-down resistor. Example 6-2 and
Example 6-4 illustrate this concept.
When calibrating a set point or threshold of a sensor,
typically only a small portion of the DAC output range is
utilized. If the LSb size is adequate enough to meet the
application’s accuracy needs, the unused range is
sacrificed without consequences. If greater accuracy is
needed, then the output range will need to be reduced
to increase the resolution around the desired threshold.

Bipolar Operation
Example 6-3 illustrates a simple bipolar voltage source
configuration. R1 and R2 allow the gain to be selected,
while R3 and R4 shift the DAC’s output to a selected
offset. Note that R4 can be tied to VDD, instead of VSS,
if a higher offset is desired. Also note that a pull-up to
VDD could be used instead of R4, or in addition to R4, if
a higher offset is desired.
Bipolar operation is achievable using the
MCP4801/4811/4821 family of devices by utilizing an
external operational amplifier (op amp). This
configuration is desirable due to the wide variety and
availability of op amps. This allows a general purpose
DAC, with its cost and availability advantages, to meet
almost any desired output voltage range, power and
noise performance.

DESIGN EXAMPLE: DESIGN A
BIPOLAR DAC USING EXAMPLE 6-3
WITH 12-BIT MCP4821 OR
MCP4822
An output step magnitude of 1 mV, with an output range
of ±2.05V, is desired for a particular application.
The equation can be simplified to:
– R2
– 2.05
--------- = ----------------R1
4.096V
R2
1
------ = --R1
2
If R1 = 20 k and R2 = 10 k, the gain will be 0.5.
Step 1: Calculate the range: +2.05V – (-2.05V) = 4.1V.
Step 2: Calculate the resolution needed:
Step 4: Next solve for R3 and R4 by setting the DAC to
4096, knowing that the output needs to be +2.05V.
4.1V/1 mV = 4100
Since 212 = 4096, 12-bit resolution is desired.
Step 3: The amplifier gain (R2/R1), multiplied by fullscale VOUT (4.096V), must be equal to the desired
minimum output to achieve bipolar operation.
Since any gain can be realized by choosing
resistor values (R1+R2), the VREF value must be
selected first. If a VREF of 4.096V is used (G=2),
solve for the amplifier’s gain by setting the DAC to
0, knowing that the output needs to be -2.05V.

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.
In some applications, precision digital control of the
output range is desirable. Example 6-4 illustrates how

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

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

 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.

WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, RELATED TO THE INFORMATION,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ITS CONDITION,
QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR PURPOSE. Microchip disclaims all liability
arising from this information and its use. Use of Microchip
devices in life support and/or safety applications is entirely at
the buyer’s risk, and the buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Microchip from any and all damages, claims,
suits, or expenses resulting from such use. No licenses are
