The MCP48CVB24-20E/ST is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MCP48 series of digital-to-analog converters (DACs) developed by Microchip Technology. It is a low-power, single-channel, 12-bit DAC with an internal voltage reference. Here are some key features and specifications of the MCP48CVB24-20E/ST:
1. Resolution: The MCP48CVB24-20E/ST offers a resolution of 12 bits, meaning it can convert a digital input into an analog output with 4096 discrete levels of precision.
2. Output Voltage Range: This IC can generate a rail-to-rail analog output voltage ranging from 0 to Vref, where Vref is the internal reference voltage of the device.
3. Internal Reference Voltage: The MCP48CVB24-20E/ST has an internal 2.048V voltage reference, eliminating the need for an external reference voltage source.
4. Interface: It incorporates a 3-wire serial interface that follows the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol, allowing easy communication with microcontrollers or other digital devices.
5. Power Supply: The IC is designed to operate with a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications
