MCP48FEB21T-E/UN

The MCP48FEBXX 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 V_dd or the internal band gap voltage can be selected as the DAC's reference voltage. When V_dd is selected, V_dd 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 V_dd/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.
