Digital to Analog Converters (DAC) are critical components used in data acquisition and control systems to convert digital values into corresponding analog output voltages. The MCP4911-E/P is a low-power, 10-bit DAC with a serial interface that makes it an ideal choice for systems where precision and small size are of paramount importance.

The MCP4911-E/P

The MCP4911-E/P is a member of the Microchip MCP49xx family of 10-bit Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs). This device offers a voltage output, has a wide input voltage range (2.7 V to 5.5 V), and low power consumption complete with a SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™ serial peripheral interface. The device features a fast throughput rate, multiplexed inputs, non-volatile memory, and is available in a variety of packages with different output buffer configurations.

The MCP4911-E/P is a voltage output DAC that offers a full-scale output voltage of 2.5 V with a 10-bit resolution. The device also features a fast throughput rate with an output settling time of 5 µs and is capable of being updated at a rate of 33 kHz. The device includes a non-volatile memory (EEPROM), which stores the DAC output values, as well as allowing for fast setup, eliminating the need for manual programming.

The device has a wide range of packages and pin-outs. There are three packages available - a small 8-lead SOIC, a 14-lead TSSOP and a 14-pad QFN package. The different packages offer various output buffer configurations - the SOIC and TSSOP packages feature an unbuffered output designed for high-impedance loads, while the QFN package features a low-impedance output buffer for driving large capacitive loads without the need for an external driver.

Working Principle

The MCP4911-E/P is an electronically programmable monolithic voltage output DAC. The device features a non-volatile memory (EEPROM) and a fast SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™ serial peripheral interface. The device has a 10-bit resolution and is capable of generating a full-scale voltage of 2.5 V.

The MCP4911-E/P listens for serial commands on its serial input pin. The commands are sent in 16-bit binary words – 8 bits for data input, and 8 bits for addressing. The first 8 bits define the analog output value, while the second 8 bits contain the control information and address. The MCP4911-E/P reads the command words and stores the data and address information in an internal register. The address information is decoded and the data is used to update the DAC output voltage.

The DAC output voltage is determined by the value of the digital word sent to the MCP4911-E/P. The output voltage is determined by the following equation: Vout = Vref x D/2^N, where D is the digital word sent to the DAC, N is the resolution (10 for the MCP4911-E/P), and Vref is the voltage reference. Vref is externally supplied and can be any value from 0 to 2.5 V.

Applications

The MCP4911-E/P is an ideal choice for systems where precision, small size, and low power consumption are of paramount importance. Some of the applications of the MCP4911-E/P include industrial control, test instrumentation, portable applications, lighting control, motor control, audio systems and robotics.

The device is ideal for industrial control applications as it offers high accuracy and can be programmed over a serial interface. The device is able to interface readily with microcontroller-based systems such as PIC microcontrollers and can be used to create digital-controlled current and voltage sources.

In portable applications, the low power consumption of the MCP4911-E/P makes it ideal for battery-powered devices. The device features a quick current recovery time and very low energy consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered applications where energy efficiency is a priority. The device is also suitable for lighting control and motor control applications as it can be used to generate an analog output that can be used to drive external components.

The MCP4911-E/P can also be used in audio systems, such as sound cards, amplifiers and loudspeakers. The device is capable of generating an analog output that can be used to control volume, tone and other parameters within a sound system. Finally, the device is suitable for use in robotics applications – it can be used to generate an analog output that can be used to control motors, servos and other actuators.
